Chemical modification of a specific amino acid residue on peptides represents an efficient strategy to improve their pharmacokinetics and facilitates the potential to achieve post-synthetic diversification of peptides. Herein, we reported the first Pd-catalyzed late-stage -olefination of Tyr residues on peptides with high chemo- and site-selectivity, by employing the easily attached and removable silanol as a bifunctional protecting group and directing group. Up to hexapeptides with variation on amino acid sequences or locations of the Tyr residue and different olefins were compatible with this protocol, which enriched the chemical toolbox for late-stage modification C(sp)-H functionalization. Furthermore, the orthogonal protection strategies of Tyr were also developed and could be applied to SPPS.

The prompt and accurate point-of-care test (POCT) for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in infected persons or virus-containing environmental samples is of great importance. The present work reports a highly integrated electrochemiluminescence/electrochemical (ECL/EC) sensor for determination of SARS-CoV-2 pseudoviruses, in which bio-recognition element (SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibody), bifunctional probe (tris (2,2'-bipyridyl) ruthenium (Ru(bpy))), and amplification material (gold nanoparticles (Au NPs)) are designed into bipolar silica nanochannel array (bp-SNA). bp-SNA consisting of homogeneous two-layer mesoporous silica films bears inner silanol groups and outer amino groups, generating a solid "electrostatic nanocage" for stable confinement of Ru(bpy) and Au NPs inside the nanochannels and further providing functional sites for covalent modification of SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibody.

Single molecule spectroscopy studies of local acidity along bifunctional acid-base gradients are reported. Gradients are prepared by directional vapor phase diffusion and subsequent reaction of 3-aminopropyl-trimethoxysilane with a uniform silica film. Gradient formation is confirmed by spectroscopic ellipsometry and by static water contact angle measurements.

Inorganic nanoparticles are gaining increasing attention as drug carriers because they respond to external physical stimuli, allowing therapy to be combined with diagnosis. Their drawback is low drug loading capacity, which can be improved by proper and efficacious functionalization. In this computational study, we take TiO spherical nanoparticles as prototype photoresponsive inorganic nanoparticles and we fully decorate them with two different types of bifunctional ligands: TETTs and DOPACs, which present different surface anchoring groups (silanol or catechol) but the same drug tethering COOH group, although in different concentrations (3 vs.

We report the synthesis and characterization of a series of original tantalum/rhodium heterobimetallic species assembled by a bifunctional alkoxy-N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligand platform (noted L). The heterotrimetallic [Ta(CH2tBu)(CHtBu)(μ-L)Rh2(COD)2Cl2]n, 2, and heterobimetallic [Ta(μ-L)(CHtBu)(CH2tBu)2Rh(COD)Cl], 4, complexes are obtained upon treatment of [Ta(L)(CHtBu)(CH2tBu)2], 1, with [Rh(COD)Cl]2. To avoid parasistic reactivity arising from the neopentylidene fragment in 1, the peralkyl compound {Ta(L)[OSi(OtBu)3](CH2tBu)3}, 5, resulting from the 1,2-addition of tris(tertbutoxysilanol) across the Ta[double bond, length as m-dash]C alkylidene motif, is prepared.
