Water-in-salt electrolytes are a fascinating new class of highly concentrated aqueous solutions with wide electrochemical stability windows that make them viable as aqueous battery electrolytes. However, the high ion concentration of water-in-salt electrolytes means that these systems are poorly understood when compared to more dilute electrolyte solutions. Here, we present direct surface force measurements across thin films of a water-in-salt electrolyte at several concentrations. We find that the electrolyte adopts a layered structure at charged interfaces composed of a nanostructure of a hydrated cation and nonaqueous anion-rich domains. These observations will aid in the interpretation of capacitance and double-layer behavior of water-in-salt electrolytes with consequences for their use in energy storage devices.With 28 potential N-glycosylation sites, human carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) bears an extreme amount of N-linked glycosylation, and approximately 60% of its molecular mass can be attributed to its carbohydrates. CEA is often overexpressed and released by many solid tumors, including colorectal carcinomas. CEA displays an impressive heterogeneity and variability in sugar content; however, site-specific distribution of carbohydrate structures has not been reported so far. The present study investigated CEA samples purified from human colon carcinoma and human liver metastases and enabled the characterization of 21 out of 28 potential N-glycosylation sites with respect to their occupancy. The coverage was achieved by a multienzymatic digestion approach with specific enzymes, such as trypsin, endoproteinase Glu-C, and the nonspecific enzyme, Pronase, followed by analysis using sheathless CE-MS/MS. In total, 893 different N-glycopeptides and 128 unique N-glycan compositions were identified. Overall, a great heterogeneity was found both within (micro) and in between (macro) individual N-glycosylation sites. Moreover, notable differences were found on certain N-glycosylation sites between primary adenocarcinoma and metastatic tumor in regard to branching, bisection, sialylation, and fucosylation. Those features, if further investigated in a targeted manner, may pave the way toward improved diagnostics and monitoring of colorectal cancer progression and recurrence. Raw mass spectrometric data and Skyline processed data files that support the findings of this study are available in the MassIVE repository with the identifier MSV000086774 [DOI 10.25345/C5Z50X].Electrochemical routes provide an attractive alternative to the Haber-Bosch process for cheaper and more efficient ammonia (NH3) synthesis from N2 while avoiding the onerous environmental impact of the Haber-Bosch process. We prototype a strategy based on a eutectic mixture of phosphate molten salt. Using quantum-mechanics (QM)-based reactive molecular dynamics, we demonstrate that lithium nitride (Li3N) produced from the reduction of nitrogen gas (N2) by a lithium electrode can react with the phosphate molten salt to form ammonia. We extract reaction kinetics of the various steps from QM to identify conditions with favorable reaction rates for N2 reduction by a porous lithium electrode to form Li3N followed by protonation from phosphate molten salt (Li2HPO4-LiH2PO4 mixture) to selectively form NH3.Nanostructured all-inorganic metal halide perovskites have attracted considerable attention due to their outstanding photonic and optoelectronic properties. Particularly, they can exhibit room-temperature exciton-polaritons (EPs) capable of confining electromagnetic fields down to the subwavelength scale, enabling efficient light harvesting and guiding. However, a real-space nanoimaging study of the EPs in perovskite crystals is still absent. Additionally, few studies focused on the ambient-pressure and reliable fabrication of large-area CsPbBr3 microsheets. Here, CsPbBr3 orthorhombic microsheet single crystals were successfully synthesized under ambient pressure. Their EPs were examined using a real-space nanoimaging technique, which reveal EP waveguide modes spanning the visible to near-infrared spectral region. The EPs exhibit a sufficient long propagation length of over 16 μm and a very low propagation loss of less than 0.072 dB·μm-1. These results demonstrate the potential applications of CsPbBr3 microsheets as subwavelength waveguides in integrated optics.Supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) have proven to be valuable model systems for studying the interactions of proteins, peptides, and nanoparticles with biological membranes. The physicochemical properties (e.g., topography, coating) of the solid substrate may affect the formation and properties of supported phospholipid bilayers, and thus, subsequent interactions with biomolecules or nanoparticles. Here, we examine the influence of support coating (SiO2vs Si3N4) and topography [sensors with embedded vs protruding gold nanodisks for nanoplasmonic sensing (NPS)] on the formation and subsequent interactions of supported phospholipid bilayers with the model protein cytochrome c and with cationic polymer-wrapped quantum dots using quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring and NPS techniques. The specific protein and nanoparticle were chosen because they differ in the degree to which they penetrate the bilayer. We find that bilayer formation and subsequent non-penetrative association with cytochrome c were not significantly influenced by substrate composition or topography. In contrast, the interactions of nanoparticles with SLBs depended on the substrate composition. The substrate-dependence of nanoparticle adsorption is attributed to the more negative zeta-potential of the bilayers supported by the silica vs the silicon nitride substrate and to the penetration of the cationic polymer wrapping the nanoparticles into the bilayer. Our results indicate that the degree to which nanoscale analytes interact with SLBs may be influenced by the underlying substrate material.The DLPNO-CCSD(T) method is designed to study large molecular systems at significantly reduced cost relative to its canonical counterpart. HER2 inhibitor However, the error in this approach is also size-extensive and relies on cancellation of errors for the calculation of relative energies. This work provides a direct comparison of canonical CCSD(T) and TightPNO DLPNO-CCSD(T) calculations of reaction energies and barriers of a broad range of chemical reactions. The dataset includes acidities, anion binding affinities, enolization, Diels-Alder, nucleophilic substitution, and atom transfer reactions and complements existing theoretical datasets in terms of system size as well as new reaction types (e.g., anion binding affinities and chlorine atom transfer reactions). The performance of DLPNO-CCSD(T) was further examined with respect to systematic variation of basis set and system size and amounts of nonbonded interaction present in the system. The errors in the DLPNO-CCSD(T) were found to be relatively insensitive to the choice of basis set for small systems but increase monotonically with system size. Additionally, calculations of barriers appear to be more challenging than reaction energies with errors exceeding 5 kJ mol-1 for many Diels-Alder reactions. Further tests on three realistic organic reactions reveal the impact of the DLPNO approximation in calculating absolute and relative barriers that are important for predictions such as stereoselectivity.A single-component Co(-I) catalyst, [(PPh3)3Co(N2)]Li(THF)3, has been developed for olefin hydroarylations with (N-aryl)aryl imine substrates. More than 40 examples were examined under mild reaction conditions to afford the desired alkyl-arene product in good to excellent yields. Catalysis occurs in a regioselective manner to afford exclusively branched products with styrene-derived substrates or linear products for aliphatic olefins. Electron-withdrawing functional groups (e.g., -F, -CF3, and -CO2Me) were tolerated under the reaction conditions.For nanocarriers with low protein affinity, we show that the interaction of nanocarriers with cells is mainly affected by the density, the molecular weight, and the conformation of polyethylene glycol (PEG) chains bound to the nanocarrier surface. We achieve a reduction of nonspecific uptake of ovalbumin nanocarriers by dendritic cells using densely packed PEG chains with a "brush" conformation instead of the collapsed "mushroom" conformation. We also control to a minor extent the dysopsonin adsorption by tailoring the conformation of attached PEG on the nanocarriers. The brush conformation of PEG leads to a stealth behavior of the nanocarriers with inhibited uptake by phagocytic cells, which is a prerequisite for successful in vivo translation of nanomedicine to achieve long blood circulation and targeted delivery. We can clearly correlate the brush conformation of PEG with inhibited phagocytic uptake of the nanocarriers. This study shows that, in addition to the surface's chemistry, the conformation of polymers controls cellular interactions of the nanocarriers.This work describes gold-catalyzed additions of vinyldiazo ketones to N-(o-alkynylphenyl)imines to yield 3-(furan-2-ylmethyl)-1H-indoles involving skeletal rearrangement; these new catalytic reactions are applicable to a wide range of substrates. We postulate a new mechanism involving an initial addition of diazo ketones to azomethine ylide intermediates to yield gold-containing N-alkylated indole intermediates that undergo proton-induced 1,3-group migrations, generating azallyl gold and allylic cation pairs.Crystalline block copolymers have been used to prepare plate-like colloidal systems with well-controlled size, shape, and size distribution. The isotropic-to-nematic (I-N) phase transition of the novel plate-like colloidal particle suspensions has been reported previously. In this work, we focus on the characterization of the solution structure of the crystals and the N-phase using small- and ultrasmall-angle X-ray scattering techniques (SAXS/USAXS). The system has polystyrene-block-poly(l-lactide) (PS-b-PLLA) block copolymer single crystals (BCSCs) with different sizes dispersed in p-xylene. These crystals are truncated lozenge in shape and have effective diameters ranging from 550 to 4000 nm with a uniform dry thickness of 18.0 nm. Scattering of the individual crystal in solution can be simplified using a disc model with a core layer of 9-10 nm due to the lower contrast of the tethered PS layer. BCSC suspensions filled in thin quartz capillaries are prepared for monitoring the structural information. SAXS measurements of the isotropic phase show a strong face-to-face correlation, indicating that platelets form small stacked clusters in solutions. The isotropic phase is thus a coexistence of single crystals and the stacked multiple-layered clusters. The face-to-face spacing, d, in the N phases is around 75-90 nm, which increases slightly upon increasing the size of crystals. For a given system, the spacing does not change with increasing concentration under the current experimental conditions. Finally, the possible formation of lamellar domains within the N phase is also discussed due to the lateral attraction of this system. These results demonstrate the importance of the lateral attraction between the polar crystalline PLLA blocks on the formation of the N phase the BCSCs self-assemble into larger sheets via the lateral attraction, which further enhances the I-N transition.
