Intramolecular Photoelectrochemical System Using Tyrosine-Modified Antibody-Targeted Peptide as Electron Donor for Detection of Biomarkers.

An intramolecular photoelectrochemical (PEC) system is designed from the novel electron donor YYYHWRGWV (Y3-H) peptide ligand for the first time. The bifunctional nonapeptide cannot only rely on the HWRGWV sequence as a site-oriented immobilizer to recognize the crystallizable fragment (Fc) domains of the antibody but also acts as electron donors for PEC generation via three tyrosine (Y) of the N-terminal. The BiWO/AgInS heterojunction with a significant visible-light absorption is utilized as a photoelectric generator, and the motivation is ascribed to a proven proposition, namely, that short-wavelength illuminant radiates proteins, causing a decline in bioactivity of immune protein.

Nickel-Catalyzed Reductive Aryl Thiocarbonylation of Alkene via Thioester Group Transfer Strategy.

Herein reported is a nickel-catalyzed reductive aryl thiocarbonylation of alkene via thioester group transfer strategy by using simple and readily available thioesters. In contrast to traditional activation of weaker C(acyl)-S bond, the C(acyl)-C bond of thioester was selectively cleaved to enable this reaction under mild conditions. Furthermore, this approach features operational simplicity and broad substrate scope, providing a complementary and practical route for thioester synthesis without requiring toxic thiol or CO gas.

Three Chiral Cyanide-Bridged Cr-Cu Complexes: Synthesis, Crystal Structures and Magnetic Properties.

Two trans-dicyanidochromium(III)-containing building blocks and one chiral copper(II) compound have been employed to assemble cyanide-bridged heterometallic complexes, resulting in three chiral cyanide-bridged Cr(III)-Cu(II) complexes, [Cu(L1)2Cr(L3)(CN)2]ClO42 · CH3OH · H2O (1a, L1 = (S,S)-1,2-diaminocyclohexane, H2L3 =1,2-bis(pyridine- 2-carboxamido)benzene), [Cu(L2)2Cr(L2)(CN)2]ClO42 · CH3OH · H2O (1b, L2 = (R,R)-1,2-diaminocyclohexane) [Cu(L3)2Cr(L4)(CN)2][Cr(L4)(CN)2] · CH3OH · 2H2O (2), (H2L4 = 1,2-bis(pyridine-2-carboxamido)-4-chlorobenzene). All the three complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy and X-ray structure determination. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis shows that the two enantiomeric complexes 1a, 1b and the complex 2 belong to cyanide-bridged cationic binuclear structure type with ClO4 - or the anionic cyanide building block as balance anion for complexes 1a, 1b or 2, respectively.

A palladium-catalyzed regiocontrollable hydroarylation reaction of allenamides with Bpin/HO.

A novel palladium-catalyzed regiocontrollable hydroarylation reaction of allenamides with B2pin2/H2O has been disclosed. H2O as an ideal hydrogen source was activated by B2pin2 to furnish allylamines or enamines with a broad functional group tolerance. The regioselectivity for both of the two products was up to 99 : 1 for most of the examples, which was achieved by adjusting the addition order of the catalyst and iodobenzene derivatives.

Water-controlled synthesis and single-crystal structural transformations of a cyanide-bridged W(IV)-Ni(II) molecular wheel complex and 3D networks.

One cyanide-bridged W(IV)-Ni(II) wheel-like complex and two three-dimensional (3D) networks can be directly synthesized based on K4[W(CN)8] and [Ni(L)](ClO4)2 precursors by controlling the quantity of water in organic solvent. The water-controlled single-crystal structural transformations among these complexes are described.

Bis(isocyanato-κN)bis-(1,10-phenanthroline-κN,N')cobalt(II).

In the title complex, [Co(NCO)(2)(C(12)H(8)N(2))(2)], the Co(II) atom, lying on a twofold rotation axis, is coordinated in a distorted octa-hedral environment by four N atoms from two chelating phenanthroline ligands and two N atoms from two isocyanate ligands in cis positions.

Bis(diethyl-enetriamine-κN,N',N'')nickel(II) bis-(1,2-dicyanoethene-1,2-dithiolato-κS,S')nickel(II).

The title compound, [Ni(C(4)H(13)N(3))(2)][Ni(C(4)N(2)S(2))(2)], has been synthesized by the reaction of Ni(ClO(4))(2)·6H(2)O, diethyl-enetriamine (deta) and Na(2)[Ni(mnt)(2)] [mnt = maleonitrile-dithiol-ate(2-)] in methanol. The structure is composed of a [Ni(deta)(2)](2+) cation and a [Ni(mnt)(2)](2-) anion. The coordination geometry of the Ni(II) ion in the cation is slightly distorted octa-hedral, defined by six N atoms from two deta ligands, while the Ni(II) ion in the anion is four-coordinated by four S atoms from two mnt ligands in a slightly distorted square-planar geometry.
