Thioflavin T (ThT) is a molecular-rotor-type fluorophore reputed for the selective binding to amyloid fibrils. Using induced circular dichroism, here we show that ThT binds in an orderly manner to alpha-helical poly-L-gl...
Reversible interconversion between inter- and intramolecular Au center dot center dot center dot Au interactions induces luminescence on/off switching in solid state. For the gold(I) photoluminescence system, intermolecu...
A novel one-pot method for the synthesis of chemiluminescence functionalized AgNPs has been reported and an ECL sensor has been developed for the detection of M. tuberculosis DNA.
It is demonstrated that the right and left handedness of DNA supercoils can be engineered precisely and readily at the molecular level in vitro through utilization of the invading property of peptide nucleic acid.
Two iridium(III) soft salts based on ion-paired dinuclear cationic and mononuclear anionic complexes were designed and investigated as phosphorescent emitters for solution processed OLEDs. New dinuclear cationic complexe...
TiN was used as an oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalyst in a Li-air fuel cell with a non-aqueous/acidic aqueous hybrid electrolyte. The electrochemical properties of the TiN based catalyst and the single cell were ex...
Selectivity for the Diels-Alder cycloaddition reaction of the electron-rich diene with single-walled carbon nanotubes was first investigated. This chemistry is a complete departure from the curvature-dependent reactivity...
Embedding Pd nanoparticles in carbon thin film-lined SBA-15 nanoreactors provides highly efficient catalysts for heterogeneous cross coupling reactions in aqueous media. No leaching or aggregation of Pd nanoparticles was...
A simple self-catalyzed hydroamination method for creating hybrid TiO(2)-polyaniline core-shell nanoparticles (NP) has been shown. Hybrid NPs with a range of possible sizes are afforded in high yield under mild reaction ...
A novel pH-sensitive (+/-)-alpha-tocopherol-5-fluorouracil (VE-5-FU) adduct with antioxidant and anticancer properties for antioxidant-based cancer chemoprevention was synthesized and utilized for selective drug release ...
The structure evolution of twinned Ru nanoparticles supported on carbon nanotubes rearranging into Ru single nanocrystals under the microwave irradiation and the exposed surface of Ru single crystals were observed, which...
Zn(2)GeO(4)-ethylenediamine (ZGO-EDA) hybrid nanoribbons have been synthesized on a large-scale and directly assembled to membranes, which exhibit an excellent recyclability, high selectivity, and good thermal stability ...
Herein, we propose a facile and efficient method to obtain the polystyrene/graphene nanosheets (PS/GNSs) nanocomposite particles. As far as we know, it is the first example that GNSs are attached onto the surface of PS m...
Magnetic mesoporous silica with a magnetic cover and mesoporous core was synthesized, filled with trypsin and located in an S-shaped microfluidic reactor. High-molecular weight (MW) proteins were split to waste by fracti...
AgNb/Al(2)O(3) prepared by a nonhydrolytic sol-gel process is a highly efficient catalyst for NO(x) removal through selective catalytic reduction by hydrocarbons (HC-SCR). This result shows that the HC-SCR process remain...
Two NbO-type MOFs based on ditopic pyridyl substituted diketonate ligands were reported. One exhibits a reversible SC-SC water encapsulation, while the other shows an interesting guest-driven luminescent property based o...
