A new energetic salt, hydrazinium 5-nitro-3-dinitromethyl-2-pyrazole, was synthesized using 1-nitro-3-trinitromethylpyrazole and hydrazine as raw materials and fully characterized by IR and NMR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, and X-ray crystallography. The isomerization of -nitropyrazole in the reaction condition was first reported and the possible mechanism was explained by the density functional theory method. The salt has good density, high positive enthalpy of formation superior to those of the RDX and HMX, and good detonation properties comparable to those of RDX. By denitration and isomerization reactions, the salt gains a better thermal stability and lower sensitivity toward impact and friction compared with its parent compound. Based on an overall energetic evaluation, the salt has a promising future as an alternative explosive. The research also contributes to the synthesis and application of polynitro-substituted -heterocyclic compounds as energetic materials.

Monitoring paracetamol levels in environmental samples is essential, as this widely used pharmaceutical can degrade water quality and adversely affect both ecosystems and human health. To address this issue, a novel, simple, sensitive, and accurate method has been developed. This method employs a functionalized ionic liquid, 2-(4-hydroxybenzyl)hydrazinium chloride ([HBH][Cl]), specifically designed to structurally mimic paracetamol and function as a complexing agent.

Nitrogen-rich energetic materials are of interest due to their potential use as high-energy-density materials in various applications. However, most compounds with a high nitrogen content show poor thermal stabilities, which may limit their use in certain applications. In pursuit of nitrogen-rich energetic materials, this study presents the synthesis and characterization of two nitrogen rich energetic compounds, namely 3-azido-1-(1-tetrazol-5-yl)-1-1,2,4-triazol-5-amine (, CHN, N%: 79.

Key Laboratory of Fluorine and Nitrogen Chemistry and Advanced Materials, Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Lingling Road 345, Shanghai, 200032, P. R. China.

Trinitromethyl and -amino groups were innovatively incorporated into the framework of 1,2,4-triazole, resulting in 1-amino-5-nitro-3-(trinitromethyl)-1,2,4-triazole (). Ammonium and hydrazinium salts of 1-amino-5-nitro-3-(dinitromethyl)-1,2,4-triazole were synthesized by acidification, extraction, and neutralization with bases from the potassium salt. All of the newly prepared energetic compounds were comprehensively characterized by using infrared spectroscopy, elemental analysis, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and single crystal X-ray diffraction.

Single-entity electrochemistry (SEE) enables research into the electrochemical properties of nanoparticles (NPs) at the individual NP level. Recent studies on active particle-active electrode systems have expanded the scope of SEE measurements, moving beyond the limitations of inert electrode-based methods that rely on distinct NP-electrode catalytic differences, thereby enhancing mechanistic understanding of catalytic reactions. In this study, we investigated SEE signals from Pt NPs colliding with Au ultramicroelectrodes (UME) at elevated potentials where both Pt and Au UME exhibit electrocatalytic activity.

High sugar diet promotes tumor progression paradoxically through aberrant upregulation of pepck1.

Cell Mol Life Sci

September 2024

Institute of Basic Medical Sciences, College of Medicine, National Cheng Kung University, No. 1, University Road, Tainan City, Taiwan.

Article Synopsis
  • High dietary sugar (HDS) increases the risk of metabolic disorders and cancers, with phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase 1 (PEPCK1) being unexpectedly upregulated in tumors due to HDS.
  • Targeted knockdown of pepck1 in Drosophila significantly reduces HDS-induced tumor growth and improves survival rates in tumor-bearing models.
  • The study highlights PEPCK1's role in cancer progression linked to dietary sugar intake, suggesting it as a potential target for cancer prevention and treatment related to metabolic disorders.
