Herein, novel host-guest properties between perethylated pillar[6]arene and four kinds of ferrocene derivatives were fully investigated. NMR titrations, 2D NOESY NMR spectroscopy, and ESI-MS are used to confirm that they indeed formed stable inclusion complexes. Two precious single-crystal structures were obtained and showed that ferrocene derivatives with different chemical structures exhibit different binding modes with perethylated pillar[6]arenes.

Article Synopsis
  • Researchers developed new compounds by linking ferrocene to natural steroid structures to enhance their biological activity.
  • The team created 8 new conjugates from various progestogens and characterized them using advanced techniques like NMR and UV-Vis.
  • Although the conjugates weren't highly toxic to rat spleen cells, they elicited diverse immune responses, likely due to the presence of the ferrocene component.

Ionogels are a promising solution to improve the functionality of electrochromic devices (ECDs) by solving issues related to traditional liquid electrolytes, such as volatility, toxicity, and leakage. However, manufacturing ionogels is complicated as it often involves cross-linking polymerization or chemical sol-gel processes, requiring large amounts of inorganic or polymeric gelators. This results in low ionic conductivity and poor ECD performance.

The individualized administration and pharmacokinetics profiling are integral to the safe use of antibody drugs in immunotherapy. Here, we propose an electrochemical platform for the highly sensitive and selective detection of antibody drugs, taking advantage of the affinity capture by the peptide mimotopes together with the signal amplification by the biologically-driven RAFT polymerization (BDRP). Briefly, the BDRP-based platform involves the capture of antibody drugs by peptide mimotopes, the labeling of multiple reversible addition-fragmentation chain-transfer (RAFT) agents to the glycan chains of antibody drugs, and the BDRP-enabled controlled recruitment of numerous redox labels.

Understanding the basic structure of the oxygen-evolving complex (OEC) in photosystem II (PS-II) and the water oxidation mechanism can aid in the discovery of more efficient and sustainable catalysts for water oxidation. In this context, we present evidence of the formation of a [(TPA)Mn(O)(μ-O)Ce(NO)] () complex (TPA = tris(pyridyl-2-methyl)amine) by adding aqueous ceric ammonium nitrate to an acetonitrile solution of the [(TPA)Mn] () complex. This unique intermediate () was analyzed by using various spectroscopic techniques and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry.
