Article Abstract

A new thiophenyl pyrazoline probe for Cu(2+) in aqueous solution was synthesized and characterized by IR, NMR, HRMS and X-ray analysis. The probe displays remarkably high selectivity and sensitivity for Cu(2+) with a detection limit of 1.919 × 10(-7) M in aqueous solution (EtOH:HEPES = 1:1, v/v, 0.02 M, pH = 7.2). In addition, the probe is further successfully used to image Cu(2+) in living cells and the probe possesses good reversibility.

The tumor-specific efficacy of the most current anticancer therapeutic agents, including antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), oligonucleotides, and photosensitizers, is constrained by limitations such as poor cell penetration and low drug delivery. In this study, we addressed these challenges by developing, a positively charged, amphiphilic Chlorin e6 (Ce6)-conjugated, cell-penetrating anti-PD-L1 peptide nanomedicine (CPPD1) with enhanced cell and tissue permeability. The CPPD1 molecule, a bioconjugate of a hydrophobic photosensitizer and strongly positively charged programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) binding cell-penetrating peptide (CPP), is capable of self-assembling into nanoparticles with an average size of 199 nm in aqueous solution without the need for any carriers.

Aqueous two-phase extraction (ATPE) is an effective and scalable liquid-phase processing method for purifying single species of single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) from multiple species mixtures. Recent metrological developments have led to advances in the speed of identifying solution parameters leading to more efficient ATPE separations with greater fidelities. In this feature article, we review these developments and discuss their vast potential to further advance SWCNT separations science towards the optimization of production scale processes and the full realization of SWCNT-enabled technologies.

The reaction between molybdenum(ii) acetate and 5-aminoisophthalic acid (HIso-NH) afforded [MoO(μ-O)(Iso-NH)], a novel molybdenum(v) metal-organic polyhedron (MOP) with a triangular antiprismatic shape stabilized by intramolecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The synthesis conditions, particularly the choice of solvent and reaction time, led to the precipitation of the Mo(v)-MOP in five distinct crystalline forms. These forms vary in their packing arrangements, co-crystallized solvent molecules, and counter-cations, with three phases containing dimethylammonium (dma) and the other two containing diethylammonium (dea).

Selective extraction of lithium over alkali and alkaline earth ions by synergistic solvent extraction.

Direct lithium extraction (DLE) from natural surface and geothermal brines is very challenging due to the low ratio of lithium to other metals, and the lack of suitable materials that bind lithium with sufficiently high selectivity. In this paper, a synergistic solvent extraction system is described that comprises a liquid ion exchanger (saponified bis(2-ethylhexyl)dithiophosphoric acid) and a lithium-selective ligand (2,9-dibutyl-1,10-phenanthroline) in an aliphatic diluent. The extraction mechanism was investigated and was confirmed to involve the binding of lithium to the selective ligand, while the liquid ion exchanger facilitates the transfer of metal ions from the aqueous to the organic phase.

In this study, a detailed DFT investigation was conducted to systematically analyze the scavenging activity of six hydrazone compounds (1-6) against HOO˙ and CHOO˙ radicals. Three mechanistic pathways were explored: hydrogen atom transfer (HAT), single electron transfer followed by proton transfer (SETPT), and sequential proton loss electron transfer (SPLET). These mechanisms were evaluated based on thermodynamic parameters, including bond dissociation enthalpy (BDE), ionization potential (IP), proton dissociation enthalpy (PDE), proton affinity (PA), and electron transfer enthalpy (ETE) in the gas phase, water, and pentyl ethanoate.
