Graphene is functionalized with amine by NH2 ion implantation at room temperature in vacuum. The reaction is featured by nucleophilic substitution of C-O groups by the ammonia radicals. The presence of N-containing functional groups in graphene is identified by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. N element was successfully introduced to graphene, the atomic ratio of N to C rose to 3.12 %. NH2 ion implanted graphene (G-NH2) is a better hydrophilic material than pristine grahene according to the contact angle experiment. Mouse fibroblast cells and human endothelial cells cultured on G-NH2 displayed superior cell-viability, proliferation and stretching over that on pristine graphene. Platelet adhesion, hemolysis and Kinetic-clotting time were measured on G-NH2, showing excellent anticoagulation, with as good hemolysis as pristine graphene.

Tuning the Acid Hardness Nature of Cu Catalyst for Selective Nitrate-to-Ammonia Electroreduction.

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl

Electrocatalytic nitrate reduction reaction (NO3RR) in alkaline electrolyte presents a sustainable pathway for energy storage and green ammonia (NH3) synthesis. However, it remains challenging to obtain high activity and selectivity due to the limited protonation and/or desorption processes of key intermediates. Herein, we propose a strategy to regulate the acid hardness nature of Cu catalyst by introducing appropriate modifier.

ConspectusThe manipulation of strained rings is a powerful strategy for accessing the valuable chemical frameworks present in natural products and active pharmaceutical ingredients. Aziridines, the smallest N-containing heterocycles, have long served as building blocks for constructing more complex amine-containing scaffolds. Traditionally, the reactivity of typical aziridines has been focused on ring-opening by nucleophiles or the formation of 1,3-dipoles.

Introduction: Pyroptosis represents a mode of programmed necrotic cell death (PCD), mediated by members of gasdermin family (GSDMs), such as GSDME. It is emerging as a promising approach for combating cancer. Notably, GSDME is the key modulator for the switch between apoptosis and pyroptosis in cells.

Construction of N-E bonds via Lewis acid-promoted functionalization of chromium-dinitrogen complexes.

Direct conversion of dinitrogen (N) into N-containing compounds beyond ammonia under ambient conditions remains a longstanding challenge. Herein, we present a Lewis acid-promoted strategy for diverse nitrogen-element bonds formation from N using chromium dinitrogen complex [Cp*(IPrMe)Cr(N)]K (1). With the help of Lewis acids AlMe and BF, we successfully trap a series of fleeting diazenido intermediates and synthesize value-added compounds containing N-B, N-Ge, and N-P bonds with 3 d metals, offering a method for isolating unstable intermediates.
