Article Synopsis
- A novel Cu-seamed coordination nanocapsule serves as an effective semiconductor photocatalyst for activating molecular oxygen.
- The capsule is formed from a self-assembly process involving cuprous bromide and -pentyl-pyrogallol[4]arene, demonstrating strong absorption of visible light.
- The study highlights its ability to generate reactive oxygen species under simulated sunlight, paving the way for new approaches to catalyze aerobic oxidation reactions using nonporous metal-organic supramolecular structures.
Article Synopsis
- Supramolecular chaperones help assemble protein subunits and metal ions into complex structures, specifically 2D and 3D nanocapsules when combined with hydroxyl-tailed ligands and Mn ions.
- The dimensionality of these nanocapsules is influenced by how their subunits interact and the use of proline chaperones facilitates the encapsulation of certain functions within the 2D structures.
- These nanocapsules demonstrate optimized surface properties for enhanced functionality, proving to be effective electrocatalysts for water oxidation with a low overpotential at near-neutral pH.
Tunable Molecular Logic Gates Designed for Imaging Released Neurotransmitters.

Department of Chemistry, University of Missouri, 601 S. College Ave. Columbia, MO 65211 (USA).
Tunable dual-analyte fluorescent molecular logic gates (ExoSensors) were designed for the purpose of imaging select vesicular primary-amine neurotransmitters that are released from secretory vesicles upon exocytosis. ExoSensors are based on the coumarin-3-aldehyde scaffold and rely on both neurotransmitter binding and the change in environmental pH associated with exocytosis to afford a unique turn-on fluorescence output. A pH-functionality was directly integrated into the fluorophore π-system of the scaffold, thereby allowing for an enhanced fluorescence output upon the release of labeled neurotransmitters.
