Two analogous M L -type tetrahedral cages (smaller: MOC-19; larger: MOC-22) were synthesized and investigated for their interactions with the anticancer drug 5-fluoracil (5-FU) by NMR spectroscopy, high-resolution electrospray-ionization mass spectrometry (HR-ESI-MS), and molecular simulation. The cage's size and window are of importance for the host-guest binding, and consequently the smaller MOC-19 with a more suitable size of cavity window was found to have much stronger hydrogen-bond interactions with 5-FU. The porous nanoparticles of MOC-19 exhibited outstanding behavior for the controlled release of 5-FU in a simulated human body with liquid phosphate-buffered saline solution.

The chemoselective synthesis of trisubstituted alkenyl halides (Cl, Br, F, I) starting from ketones and aldehydes and lithium halocarbenoids is reported. Upon forming the corresponding tetrahedral intermediate adduct, followed by the addition of thionyl chloride, a selective E2-type elimination is triggered, furnishing the targeted motifs. The transformation takes place under full chemocontrol: various sensitive functionalities ( ester, nitrile, nitro, or halogen groups) can be placed on the starting materials, thus documenting a wide reaction scope, as well as the application of the technique to biologically active substances.

We have developed an efficient crystal structure prediction (CSP) method for desired chemical compositions, specifically suited for compounds featuring recurring molecules or rigid bodies. We applied this method to two metal chalcogenides: LiPSand NaGeSe, treating PSas a tetrahedral rigid body and GeSeas an ethane-like dimer rigid body. Initial trials not only identified the experimentally observed structures of these compounds but also uncovered several novel phases, including a new stannite-type LiPSstructure and a potential stable structure for NaGeSethat exhibits significantly lower energy than the observed phase, as evaluated by density functional theory calculations.

. The International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) decided to develop pregnant-female reference computational phantoms, including the maternal and fetal phantoms, through its 2007 general recommendations. Acknowledging the advantages of the mesh geometry, the ICRP decided to develop the pregnant-female mesh-type reference computational phantoms (MRCPs) for 8, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, and 38 week fetal ages directly in the mesh format.

Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) is a remarkable noninvasive tumor marker that plays a crucial role in tumor diagnosis, prognosis and treatment. However, detecting low-abundance ctDNA from a substantial amount of nucleic acids originating from healthy cells is challenging. Herein, we proposed a tetrahedral DNA nanostructures (TDNs)-assisted electrochemical biosensor for ctDNA detection.
