Published: July 2018

Reported is the synthesis, characterization, and material properties of the first π-conjugated two-dimensional covalent organic radical framework (CORF), PTM-CORF, based on the stable polychlorotriphenylmethyl (PTM) radical. The covalent organic framework (COF) precursor (PTM-H-COF) was first synthesized by liquid/liquid interfacial acetylenic homocoupling of a triethynylpolychlorotriphenylmethane monomer, and showed crystalline features with a hexagonal diffraction pattern matching that of A-B-C stacking. Subsequent deprotonation and oxidation of the PTM units in PTM-H-COF gave PTM-CORF. Magnetic measurements revealed that the neighboring PTM radicals in the PTM-CORF are anti-ferromagnetically coupled each other, with a moderate exchange interaction (J=-375 cm ). The PTM-CORF has a small energy gap (ca. 0.88 eV) and a low-lying LUMO energy level (-4.72 eV), and exhibits high electrocatalytic activity and durability toward the oxygen reduction reaction.

Cellulose composites have exceptional qualities, particularly in removing heavy metal ions. Nevertheless, these materials' poor mechanical qualities and the restricted exposure of surface-active sites reduce the effectiveness of their removal. The removal efficiency of adsorbent materials largely depends on their macroscopic structural characteristics.

Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) is significantly upregulated in glioblastoma (GBM) and plays a crucial role in cell apoptosis and drug resistance. Micheliolide (MCL) is a natural product with a variety of antitumour activities, and the fumarate salt form of dimethylamino MCL (DMAMCL; commercial name ACT001) has been tested in clinical trials for recurrent GBM; this compound suppresses the proliferation of GBM cells by rewiring aerobic glycolysis. Herein, we demonstrated that MCL directly targets GAPDH through covalent binding to the cysteine 247 (Cys247) residue.

Isoindigo (IID)-based non-fullerene acceptors, known for their broad absorption spectra and high charge carrier mobilities, play a crucial role in organic photovoltaics. In this study, two A-DA'D-A type unfused ring acceptors (URAs), IDC8CP-IC and IDC6CP-IC, were designed and synthesized using cyclopentadithiophene (CPDT) and IID core units, each functionalized with different alkyl chains (2-hexyldecyl and 2-octyldodecyl), through an atom- and step-efficient direct C-H arylation (DACH) method. Both URAs, despite the absence of non-covalent conformation locking between CPDT and IID, demonstrated favorable molecular planarity, broad absorption ranges, low band gaps, and high molar absorption coefficients.
