The specific fluorescent detection of α-methyltryptamine (AMT) presents a great challenge because similar amine groups and benzene rings exist in a variety of amines. Here, we show the precise modulation of the electron-withdrawing strength of the π-conjugate bridge in aldehyde-containing Schiff base-based fluorescent probes for ultratrace AMT discrimination. It is found that different electron-withdrawing groups -CH, -CHN, and -CHBr as the π-conjugate bridge of the 2-dicyanomethylidene-3-cyano-4,5,5-trimethyl-2,5-dihydrofuran (TCF)-based probes can classify and identify organic amines with different amine nucleophilicities.

Non-oxidative methane dehydro-aromatization reaction can co-produce hydrogen and benzene effectively on a molybdenum-zeolite based thermochemical catalyst, which is a very promising approach for natural-gas upgrading. However, the low methane conversion and aromatics selectivity and weak durability restrain the realistic application for industry. Here, a mechanism for enhancing catalysis activity on methane activation and carbon-carbon bond coupling has been found to promote conversion and selectivity simultaneously by adding platinum-bismuth alloy cluster to form a trimetallic catalyst on zeolite (Pt-Bi/Mo/ZSM-5).

GC-Orbitrap-MS quantified 96 compounds, including 18 alcohols, 12 esters, 7 ketones, 20 terpenoids, 11 pyrazines, 6 aldehydes, 6 furans, 6 benzene ring-containing compounds, 3 sulfides, 2 alkanes, and 5 nitrogen-containing compounds. Moreover, 22 compounds including 5 acids, 1 amide, and 16 aldehydes were quantified using GC-Quadrupole-MS.

Here, we show that in a supramolecular system with more than 20 building blocks forming large icosahedral ML metal-organic cages (MOCs), using the instant synthesis method, it is possible to kinetically trap and control the formation of interlocking ML nanocages, giving rare ML TPB-ZnI poly-[n]-catenane. The catenanes are obtained in a one-pot reaction, selectively as amorphous (a1) or crystalline states, as demonstrated by powder X-ray diffraction (powder XRD), thermogravimetric (TG) analysis and H NMR. The 300 K ML poly-[n]-catenane single crystal X-ray diffraction (SC-XRD) structure including nitrobenzene (1) indicates strong guest binding with the large ML cage (i.

Despite their potential applications in host-guest chemistry, there are only five reported structures of poly-[]-catenanes self-assembled by elusive icosahedral nanocages. This small number of structures of poly-[]-catenanes is because self-assembly of large metal-organic cages (MOCs) with large windows allowing catenation by means of is very challenging. Structural reports of poly-[]-catenanes are needed to increase our knowledge about the self-assembly and genesis of such materials.
