An asymmetric 5-endo chloroetherification of homoallylic alcohols is successfully developed that employs an easily available quaternary ammonium salt derived from cinchonine as a conventional organocatalyst. This approac...
Glucose-conjugated malonato-platinum(II) complexes are designed and synthesized to target tumor-specific active transporters, namely, glucose transporters (GLUTs); the complexes exhibit much higher aqueous solubility by ...
Patterned micro/nano structural hydrophobic Ni-P films were designed by the combination of electrochemical and chemical deposition. The formation mechanism is illustrated by the gradually changed morphology of the film. ...
An exquisitely structured CPP consisting of a self-supported POM-Zn(II) coordination polymer as the shell and a Fe3O4 cluster as the core was synthesized, which could be fabricated as a supercapacitive film electrode sho...
The correlated anion order in the oxynitride perovskite NdVO2N, where disordered zig-zag VN chains segregate into planes within a pseudo-cubic lattice, is similar to that in materials such as SrTaO2N containing d(0) tran...
Nanowire networks of zinc octaethylporphyrin (ZnOEP) were printed using an aerosol-jet printer on a poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) flexible substrate. The prototype photodetector based on the as-printed network exhib...
We report branched peptide boronic acids (BPBAs) that bind to RRE IIB from an on-bead high-throughput screening of a 3.3.4-library (46 656 compounds). We demonstrate that boronic acids are tunable moieties that afford a ...
A novel mu(2)-bridging coordination mode of the diboran(4)-1,2-diyl ligand was unveiled for dinuclear 1, in which two Pt(II) centers are connected by the diboran(4)yl moiety. Prolonged heating resulted in the unprecedent...
Through a nickel-catalysed Heck-type reaction, a direct coupling of alkenes with alpha-cyano alkyl bromides was achieved. This procedure provides a novel way for the synthesis of beta,gamma-unsaturated nitriles.
Based on a novel strategy for modulating the fluorescence of selenide and selenoxide, we have designed and developed a reversible fluorescent probe for hypochloric acid. And the synthesis, characterization, fluorescence ...
A novel template-dependent extension based isothermal amplification (TEIA) system with high single-base discrimination capability is developed, where the interference caused by non-specific reaction in isothermal strand ...
Photocatalytic activity in the reduction of CO2 with H2O to CH4 was significantly enhanced by simply adding MgO to TiO2 loaded with Pt. A positive correlation between CH4 formation activity and basicity was observed. The...
New polyanionic and polyzwitterionic azobenzene ionic liquid-functionalized silica materials were designed based on the preparation of a new polymerizable azobenzene anionic monomer and either its cation-exchange with al...
We demonstrate a tandem truncation-functionalization strategy using the 3D covalent organic framework, COF-102. Allyl groups incorporated within the pore walls were subjected to thiol-ene coupling conditions, achieving h...
Cu3G is a Cu(II) complex of a photoactive tetradentate ligand that is cleaved upon UV irradiation to release Cu. Here we show that the cytotoxicity of Cu3G increases in response to brief UV stimulation to result in exten...
Historically, chemists' exploration of chemical space has been exceptionally uneven and unsystematic. This feature article outlines a comprehensive conceptual framework that may be used to capture, analyse and plan synth...
