AI Article Synopsis

  • The study explores whether it's possible to create a finite metal-organic structure, like a cage, by intentionally breaking down a larger 3D metal-organic framework (MOF).
  • The researchers successfully synthesized a cuboctahedral metal-organic polyhedron (MOP) using a specific chemical method that involved cleavage of the MOF.
  • They also found that adjusting the experimental conditions for the cleavage process allowed them to produce two different cuboctahedral MOPs, each with distinct external chemical groups.

Article Abstract

Herein we address the question of whether a supramolecular finite metal-organic structure such as a cage or metal-organic polyhedron (MOP) can be synthesized via controlled cleavage of a three-dimensional (3D) metal-organic structure. To demonstrate this, we report the synthesis of a Cu(II)-based cuboctahedral MOP through orthogonal olefinic bond cleavage of the cavities of a 3D, Cu(II)-based, metal-organic framework (MOF). Additionally, we demonstrate that controlling the ozonolysis conditions used for the cleavage enables Clip-off Chemistry synthesis of two cuboctahedral MOPs that differ by their external functionalization: one in which all 24 external groups represent a mixture of aldehydes, carboxylic acids, acetals and esters, and one in which all are aldehydes.

Mass spectrometry (MS) has become a critical tool in the characterization of covalently modified nucleic acids. Well-developed bottom-up approaches, where nucleic acids are digested with an endonuclease and the resulting oligonucleotides are separated before MS and MS/MS analysis, provide substantial insight into modified nucleotides in biological and synthetic nucleic. Top-down MS presents an alternative approach where the entire nucleic acid molecule is introduced to the mass spectrometer intact and then fragmented by MS/MS.

Tailoring the Porous Structure of Carbon for Enhanced Oxidative Cleavage and Esterification of C(CO)-C Bonds.

December 2024

National & Local Joint Engineering Research Center on Biomass Resource Utilization, College of Environmental Science and Engineering, Nankai University, Tianjin, 300350, P. R. China.

The cleavage and functionalization of carbon-carbon bonds are crucial for the reconstruction and upgrading of organic matrices, particularly in the valorization of biomass, plastics, and fossil resources. However, the inherent kinetic inertness and thermodynamic stability of C-C σ bonds make this process challenging. Herein, we fabricated a glucose-derived defect-rich hierarchical porous carbon as a heterogeneous catalyst for the oxidative cleavage and esterification of C(CO)-C bonds.

Understanding the impact of oxidative modification on protein structure and functions is essential for developing therapeutic strategies to combat macromolecular damage and cell death. However, selectively inducing oxidative modifications in proteins remains challenging. Herein we demonstrate that [V6O13{(OCH2)3CCH2OH}2]2- (V6-OH) hybrid metal-oxo cluster can be used for selective protein oxidative cleavage and modifications.

Dynamic Kinetic Activation of Aziridines Enables Radical-Polar Crossover (4 + 3) Cycloaddition with 1,3-Dienes.

J Am Chem Soc

January 2025

State Key Laboratory of Applied Organic Chemistry & College of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Lanzhou University, Lanzhou 730000, China.

The cycloaddition of aziridines with unsaturated compounds is a valuable method for synthesizing nitrogen heterocycles. However, this process is predominantly substrate-controlled, posing significant challenges in regulating the regioselectivity of the C-N bond cleavage. In this study, we report a nickel-catalyzed dynamic kinetic activation strategy that enables catalyst-controlled activation of aziridines.
