Electrospinning-derived Tb2(WO4)3:Eu(3+) nanowires: energy transfer and tunable luminescence properties

One-dimensional Tb(2)(WO(4))(3) and Tb(2)(WO(4))(3):Eu(3+) nanowires have been prepared by a combination method of sol-gel process and electrospinning. X-Ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), photoluminescence (PL), low voltage cathodoluminescence (CL) and time-resolved emission spectra as well as kinetic decays were used to characterize the resulting samples. The as-obtained precursor samples present fiber-like morphology with uniform size, and Tb(2)(WO(4))(3) and Tb(2)(WO(4))(3):Eu(3+) nanowires were formed after annealing. Under ultraviolet excitation and low-voltage electron beams excitation into WO(4)(2-) and the f-f transition of Tb(3+), the Tb(2)(WO(4))(3) samples show the characteristic emission of Tb(3+) corresponding to (5)D(4)-(7)F(6, 5, 4, 3) transitions due to an efficient energy transfer from WO(4)(2-) to Tb(3+), while Tb(2)(WO(4))(3):Eu(3+) samples mainly exhibit the characteristic emission of Eu(3+) corresponding to (5)D(0)-(7)F(0, 1, 2) transitions due to an energy transfer occurs from WO(4)(2-) and Tb(3+) to Eu(3+). The increase of Eu(3+) concentration leads to the increase of the energy transfer efficiency from Tb(3+) to Eu(3+). The PL color of Tb(2)(WO(4))(3):x mol% Eu(3+) phosphors can be tuned from green to red easily by changing the doping concentration (x) of Eu(3+), making the materials have potential applications in fluorescent lamps and color display fields.     

Enhanced emission of ultra-small-sized LaF(3):RE(3+) (RE = Eu, Tb) nanoparticles through 1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylic acid sensitization

Uniform, ultra-small-sized and well-water-dispersible LaF(3) nanoparticles doped with trivalent rare earth (RE) ions (Eu(3+) or Tb(3+)) have been synthesized by a simple, low temperature synthesis route. The nanoparticles, with sizes of about 3.2 nm (for those doped with Eu(3+)) and 3.0 nm (for those doped with Tb(3+)), are roughly spherical and monodisperse. 1,2,4,5-Benzenetetracarboxylic acid (labeled as BA) as sensitizer has been bonded to the surface of the nanoparticles, which can sensitize the emission of RE(3+) in the LaF(3) nanoparticles. The BA-LaF(3):RE(3+) (RE = Eu or Tb) nanoparticles have a broad absorption band in the UV domain, and show enhanced luminescence of RE(3+) based on an energy transfer from BA ligands to RE(3+) ions (i.e. the so-called "antenna effect"). Due to the dual protection of organic ligands (BA) and inorganic matrices (LaF(3)), BA-LaF(3):RE(3+) (RE = Eu or Tb) nanoparticles have longer excited state lifetimes than LaF(3):RE(3+) (RE = Eu or Tb) nanoparticles as well as lanthanide coordination polymers of BA.     

Controlled synthesis and optical spectroscopy of lanthanide-doped KLaF₄ nanocrystals

KLaF(4), as a good host matrix for trivalent lanthanide (Ln(3+)) ions to fabricate upconversion (UC) or downconversion (DC) phosphors, has been rarely reported. Herein, monodisperse (～10 nm) cubic-phase Ln(3+)-doped KLaF(4) nanocrystals (NCs) were synthesized via a facile thermal decomposition method. Upon excitation at 980 nm, UC luminescence properties of KLaF(4):Ln(3+)/Yb(3+) (Ln = Tm, Ho, Er) NCs were comprehensively surveyed. Particularly, after coating an inert KLaF(4) shell, the green and red UC luminescence intensity of KLaF(4):Er(3+)/Yb(3+) NCs was enhanced ～35 times, and the corresponding UC lifetimes of (4)S(3/2) and (4)F(9/2) levels of Er(3+) were observed significantly prolonged from 42 and 68 μs in core-only NCs to 87 and 136 μs in core/shell counterparts. Furthermore, intense DC luminescence was also achieved in Ce(3+)/Tb(3+) and Eu(3+) doped KLaF(4) NCs, with absolute quantum yields of 39.8% (Tb(3+)) and 17.3% (Eu(3+)). The luminescence lifetimes of (5)D(0) (Eu(3+)) and (5)D(4) (Tb(3+)) were determined to be 4.2 and 4.7 ms, respectively. Water-soluble Ln(3+)-doped KLaF(4) NCs featuring excellent monodispersion, long luminescence lifetime, and high UC/DC efficiency may have versatile and promising applications as luminescent nano-biolabels.     

Synthetic potential of molluscan sulfatases for the library synthesis of regioselectively O-sulfonated D-galacto-sugars

The substrate specificities of three molluscan sulfatases (E.C. 3.1.6.1; snail, abalone, and limpet origins) were investigated with assorted p-nitrophenyl (pNP) di-O-sulfonated beta-D-galactopyranosides and beta-lactosides [3,6-SO(3) Gal (1), 3',6'-SO(3) Lac (2), 4, 6SO(3) Gal (3), 2,6-SO(3) Gal (4), 3,4-SO(3) Gal (5), and 3,6-SO(3) GalNAc (6); Ac, acetyl; Gal, galactose; Lac, lactose] together with mono-O-sulfonated beta-D-galactopyranoside [pNP 3SO(3)-Gal (7)] and tri-O-sulfonated alpha-D-galactopyranoside [2,3,6-SO(3)-alpha-Gal (11)]. Some notable differences between the substrate specificity of the three sulfatases were disclosed; snail sulfatase hydrolyzed the 3O- and 2O-sulfo groups of 1 and 4, respectively, to afford 6SO(3) Gal (9) in high yields, while the abalone enzyme did not act on 4. Only the limpet enzyme could cleave the 3O-sulfo groups of 7 to give pNP beta-galactoside. In contrast, every enzyme could utilize 11 as a good substrate to afford a mixture of 6SO(3)-alpha-Gal (13) and 2,6-SO(3) alpha-Gal (12). None of the enzymes could cleave the O-sulfo groups of 5 and 6, which indicates that a primary 6O-sulfo group tends to promote the enzymatic hydrolysis of O-sulfo groups at the secondary positions.     

Ce3+与牛血清白蛋白的相互作用的研究

在模拟动物体生理pH值条件下,用荧光光谱法和紫外吸收光谱法研究了稀土离子铈[Ce3+和Ce2(CO3)3]与牛血清白蛋白(BSA)的结合反应. 探讨了Ce3+和Ce2(CO3)3对BSA的荧光猝灭过程机理,并分别计算了不同温度下Ce3+和Ce2(CO3)3与BSA的结合常数(KA)和实际热力学参数(DH,DG和DS),并判断了Ce3+和Ce2(CO3)3与BSA结合的作用力类型. 由于所求热力学常数都是DH<0,DS>0,由此可判断Ce3+和Ce2(CO3)3与BSA之间的作用力主要为静电引力. 实验结果表明,Ce3+和Ce2(CO3)3与BSA结合形成复合物,分别为：n(Ce3+):n(BSA)=1.8:1, n[Ce2(CO3)3]:n(BSA)=2.6:1. 导致BSA内源性荧光猝灭是由于分子内的非辐射能量转移而引起的静态猝灭.

Soil transformation of wheat and corn metabolites mboa and DIM2BOA into aminophenoxazinones

The defensive cyclic hydroxamates 7-methoxy-2,4-dihydroxy-1,4(2H)-benzoxazin-3-one (DIMBOA) and 7,8-dimethoxy-2,4-dihydroxy-1,4(2H)-benzoxazin-3-one (DIM₂BOA) of wheat and corn are transformed in nonsterile soil, via 6-methoxy-2(3H)-benzoxazolone (MBOA) and 6,7-dimethoxy-2(3H)-benzoxazolone (M₂BOA) respectively, into 2-amino-7-methoxy-3H-phenoxazin-3-one and 2-amino-4,6,7-trimethoxy-3H-phenoxazin-3-one. The soil transformation is similar of that undergone by the rye metabolite 2(3H)-benzoxazolone (BOA) into 2-amino-3H-phenoxazin-3-one. The transformations to phenoxazinones are not observed in sterile soil. The 2-amino-3H-phenoxazin-3-one inhibits barnyard grass radicle elongation, but the methoxylated aminophenoxazinones are not significantly inhibitory.

Different coordination modes of a tripod phosphine in gold(i) and silver(i) complexes

The following gold(I) and silver(I) complexes of the tritertiary phosphine 1,1,1- tris(diphenylphosphinomethyl)ethane, tripod , have been synthesised: Au(3)(tripod)X(3) [X = Cl(1), Br(2), I(3)]; [Au(3)(tripod)(2)Cl(2)]Cl (4); Au(tripod)X [X = Br(5), I(6)]; Ag(3)(tripod) (NO(3))(4) (7), Ag(tripod)NO(3) (8). They were characterized by X-ray diffraction (complexes 2, 3 and 4), (31)P NMR spectroscopy, electrospray and FAB mass spectrometry and infrared spectroscopy. Complexes 2 and 3 show a linear coordination geometry for Au(I), with relatively short Au-P bond distances. Complex 3 has a Au***Au intramolecular distance of 3.326 A degrees , while complex 2 had a short Au***Au intermolecular interaction of 3.048 A degrees . Complexes 4-6 were found by (31)P NMR spectroscopy studies to contain a mixture of species in solution, one of which crystallised as [Au(3)(tripod|)(2)Cl(2)]Cl which was shown by X-ray diffraction to contain both tetrahedral and linear Au(I), the first example of a Au(I) complex containing such a mixture of geometries. The reaction of [Au(3) (tripod)Cl(3)] (1) with tripod led successfully to the formation of [Au(3)(tripod|)(2)Cl(2)](+) and [Au(3)(tripod)(2)Cl(3)](+) and [Au(3)(tripod|)(3)Cl](2+). The silver(I) complexes, 7 and 8 appear to contain linear and tetrahedral Ag(I), respectively.     

Oligodeoxynucleotides containing 3-bromo-3-deazaadenine and 7-bromo-7-deazaadenine 2'-deoxynucleosides as chemical probes to investigate DNA-protein interactions

We describe the design and proof of concept of a pair of chemical probes for investigating DNA-protein interactions-specifically, the incorporation of 7-bromo-7-deazaadenine and 3-bromo-3-deazaadenine 2'-deoxynucleosides (Br(7)C(7)dA and Br(3)C(3)dA) into oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs)-and their utility. Whereas the bromo substituent of the Br(7)C(7)dA unit in an ODN duplex acts sterically to inhibit binding with NF-kappaB, which interacts with the duplex in its major groove, the bromo substituent of the Br(3)C(3)dA unit acts sterically to inhibit binding with RNase H, which interacts with the duplex in its minor groove. In addition, the utilization of ODNs containing 7-deazaadenine and 3-deazaadenine 2'-deoxynucleosides (C(7)dA and C(3)dA), together with the pair of chemical probes, afforded valuable information on the requirement for nitrogen atoms located in either the major or minor grooves. Accordingly, we were able to show the utility of ODNs containing Br(7)C(7)dA, Br(3)C(3)dA, C(7)dA, and C(3)dA for the investigation of DNA-protein interactions.     

6.5% efficient perovskite quantum-dot-sensitized solar cell

Highly efficient quantum-dot-sensitized solar cell is fabricated using ca. 2-3 nm sized perovskite (CH(3)NH(3))PbI(3) nanocrystal. Spin-coating of the equimolar mixture of CH(3)NH(3)I and PbI(2) in γ-butyrolactone solution (perovskite precursor solution) leads to (CH(3)NH(3))PbI(3) quantum dots (QDs) on nanocrystalline TiO(2) surface. By electrochemical junction with iodide/iodine based redox electrolyte, perovskite QD-sensitized 3.6 μm-thick TiO(2) film shows maximum external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 78.6% at 530 nm and solar-to-electrical conversion efficiency of 6.54% at AM 1.5G 1 sun intensity (100 mW cm(-2)), which is by far the highest efficiency among the reported inorganic quantum dot sensitizers.

Poly[(3-hexylthiophene)-block-(3-semifluoroalkylthiophene)] for Polymer Solar Cells

We report the synthesis of poly[(3-hexylthiophene)-block-(3-(4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,7-nonafluoroheptyl)thiophene)], P(3HT-b-3SFT), carried out by the Grignard Metathesis Method (GRIM). The copolymers composition was determined by (1)H and (19)F NMR spectroscopies, and gel permeation chromatography (GPC). The thin films of P(3HT-b-3SFT) were investigated by ultraviolet-visible absorption spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy (AFM). We also fabricated bulk-hetero junction (BHJ) solar cells based on blends of P(3HT-b-3SFT) and [6,6]-phenyl-C(61)-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM). Although the composition ratio of P3SFT in P(3HT-b-3SFT) was low, the influence of P3SFT on the morphology and properties of solar cells was significant. The annealing process for the BHJ solar cells induced the formation of large domains and led to poor solar cell performance. The BHJ solar cells, based on PCBM and P(3HT-b-3SFT), prepared by the non-annealing process, had a maximum power conversion efficiency of 0.84% under 100 mW/cm(2) (AM 1.5 solar illumination) in air.

We prepared 3(5)-iodo-5(3)-methyl-pyrazole ( 6b ), 3,5-diiodo-pyrazole ( 6d ) and 3(5)-bromo-1,2,4-triazole ( 8 ) on this way.

Interaction of the catalytic domain of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate 3-kinase A with inositol phosphate analogues

The levels of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate [Ins(1,4,5)P3] in the cytoplasm are tightly regulated by two enzymes, Ins(1,4,5)P3 3-kinase and type I Ins(1,4,5)P3 5-phosphatase. The catalytic domain of Ins(1,4,5)P3 3-kinase (isoenzymes A, B and C) is restricted to approximately 275 amino acids at the C-terminal end. We were interested in understanding the catalytic mechanism of this key family of enzymes in order to exploit this in inhibitor design. We expressed the catalytic domain of rat Ins(1,4,5)P3 3-kinase A in Escherichia coli as a His- and S-tagged fusion protein. The purified enzyme was used in an Ins(1,4,5)P3 kinase assay to phosphorylate a series of inositol phosphate analogues with three or four phosphate groups. A synthetic route to D-2-deoxy-Ins(1,4,5)P3 was devised. D-2-Deoxy-Ins(1,4,5)P3 and D-3-deoxy-Ins(1,4,6)P3 were potent inhibitors of the enzyme, with IC50 values in the micromolar range. Amongst all analogues tested, only D-2-deoxy-Ins(1,4,5)P3 appears to be a good substrate of the Ins(1,4,5)P3 3-kinase. Therefore, the axial 2-hydroxy group of Ins(1,4,5)P3 is not involved in recognition of the substrate nor does it participate in the phosphorylation mechanism of Ins(1,4,5)P3. In contrast, the equatorial 3-hydroxy function must be present in that configuration for phosphorylation to occur. Our data indicate the importance of the 3-hydroxy function in the mechanism of inositol trisphosphate phosphorylation rather than in substrate binding.
