Two supramolecular isomers, {[Co(L)(OBA)]center dot H2O}(n) (1), {[Co5O2(L)(2)(OBA)(3)]center dot 7DMF}(n) (2), have been synthesized by one-pot reactions. Compound 1 has a homochiral architecture with low connectivity, ...
A simple and universal quencher-free molecular beacon (MB) with low background fluorescence is developed based on an intermolecular G-quadruplex signaling probe. Unlike previous fluorescent MB strategies, it can function...
A new phenolate-based magnesium ion conducting electrolyte is prepared. The electrolyte exhibits air insensitive character and excellent electrochemical performances which make it highly promising for advanced rechargeab...
The lithium corrole complex (Mes(2)(p-OMePh)corrole)Li-3 center dot 6THF (1.6THF), prepared via deprotonation of the free-base corrole with lithium amide, acts as precursor for the preparation of cyclopentadienyl zirconi...
A unique structural transformation in the crystalline state assisted by coordination substitution is induced during a dehydration process. A 1D chain coordination polymer is irreversibly converted to a 3D interpenetrated...
Mixtures of an amphiphilic perylene bisimide derivative and tetramethoxysilane in the absence of solvents have been found to exhibit stable columnar liquid-crystalline phases which transform into macroscopically oriented...
The surface modification with a proper amount of phosphate accelerates the dynamic decay of photogenerated electrons in the nanocrystalline anatase TiO2 film in the presence of O-2, consequently prolonging greatly the li...
Due to the importance of Mn2+ ions in biological processes, it is of growing interest to develop protocols for analysis of Mn2+ uptake and distribution in cells. A supramolecular metal displacement assay can provide rati...
A novel ruthenium(II) complex with specific luminescent selectivity towards hybrid G-quadruplex DNA was developed that can easily be distinguished by the naked eye without further treatment.
Noble metal nanoparticles are directly and homogeneously grown onto graphene-oxide (GO) sheets in oleylamine. After the oleylamine is removed, the GO sheets are exfoliated by the nanoparticle pillars to further form hier...
