Janus triple tripods build up a microporous manifold for HgCl and I uptake.

To boost the design of microporous solids, we integrated a two-faced shape (as in cucurbiturils and cyclodextrins) into the building blocks of framework materials. Reported herein is a planar tritopic carboxyl linker with secondary tripod donors sprouting off both sides at the core region. The two-faced, barrel-like core region imparts a rugged 3D character to the linker architecture, obviating close packing and creating complex-shaped cavities in an Eu(iii)-carboxylate network.

Shengxian decoction in chronic heart failure treatment and synergistic property of Platycodonis Radix: a metabolomic approach and its application.

Shengxian Decoction (SXT), a classic Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) prescription, consists of five TCMs: Astragali Radix, Anemarrhenae Rhizoma, Bupleuri Radix, Platycodonis Radix (PG), and Cimicifugae Rhizoma. SXT has been demonstrated to show good therapeutic effects on the cardiovascular system. A metabolomic approach was applied to study its therapeutic mechanisms and the synergistic properties of PG.
