Here we present a novel peptide-based fluorescent "turn-on" molecule P1 for detecting RNA, in a double or single strand, AU-rich or CG-rich. Both computational and experimental studies indicate that the detection efficiency depends on the binding affinity of P1 and conformational changes. P1 could be applied for cell imaging without any additional transfection vectors. Selective detection of RNA in cells was determined by RNase digestion. Successful application of P1 for RNA imaging in cell mitosis reveals that it may have broad applications in research, biotechnology and medical science.Self-assembling the novel nitronyl nitroxide radical NIT-3Py-5-Ph (2-(5-phenyl-3-pyridyl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethylimidazoline-1-oxyl-3-oxide) with Ln(hfac)3·2H2O and Cu(hfac)2 (hfac = hexafluoroacetylacetonate) resulted in two heterometallic complexes with formula [LnCu(hfac)5(NIT-3Py-5-Ph)2] (Ln = Gd 1, Dy 2), in which two NIT-3Py-5-Ph radicals are coordinated with the LnIII ion via their nitroxide units in the cis-arrangement manner and the CuII ion is ligated by the pyridyl N donors of the radicals. Interestingly, when the phenyl group of NIT-3Py-5-Ph was replaced with a p-pyridyl group, a new family of 2D networks, namely, [Ln(hfac)3][Cu(hfac)2]2(NIT-3Py-5-4Py)2n (Ln = Gd 3, Tb 4, Dy 5; NIT-3Py-5-4Py = 2-(5-(4-pyridyl)-3-pyridyl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethylimidazoline-1-oxyl-3-oxide) was obtained. In the 2D sheet, each NIT-3Py-5-4Py ligand serves as a μ3-bridge to bind one LnIII center by the aminoxyl moiety and two CuII ions through two pyridine groups to form a 2D structure. The LnIII ion is coordinated by two NO units of two radicals in a trans configuration. DC magnetic measurements indicate that ferromagnetic LnIII-NO exchange occurs in 1-5. AC studies reveal that 2 displays slow relaxation of the magnetization while no such magnetic relaxation is found in complex 5. The observed different magnetic relaxation behaviors of two Dy analogues could be attributed to the different coordination modes of NO groups of the radicals, and the coordination geometry of the Dy center is from C2v in 2 to D2d in 5.An important step in predicting the growth of soot nanoparticles is understanding how gas phase variations affect the formation of their aromatic precursors. Once formed, these aromatic structures begin to assemble into nanoparticles and, regardless of the clustering process, the molecular properties of the aromatic precursors play an important role. Leveraging existing experimental data collected from a coflow Jet A-1 surrogate diffusion flame, in this paper we report on a detailed study of the spatial evolution of molecular structures of polycyclic aromatic compounds (PACs) and their corresponding formation pathways. To this end, we employed the SNapS2 kinetic Monte Carlo software to simulate the chemical evolution of PACs along multiple streamlines. The results show that growth only occurs along streamlines that traverse regions of high acetylene concentrations in the center of the flame. The PACs predicted in various conditions show diverse chemical properties, including aliphatic chains, five-membered, asis on oxygenated structures.We report on an experimental test of Babinet's principle in quantum reflection of an atom beam from diffraction gratings. The He beam is reflected and diffracted from a square-wave grating at near grazing-incidence conditions. According to Babinet's principle the diffraction peak intensities (except for the specular-reflected beam) are expected to be identical for any pair of gratings of complementary geometry. We observe conditions where Babinet's principle holds and also where it fails. LW6 Our data indicate breakdown conditions when either the incident or a diffracted beam propagates close to the grating surface. At these conditions, the incident or the diffracted He beam is strongly affected by the dispersive interaction between the atoms and the grating surface. Babinet's principle is also found to break down, when the complementary grating pair shows a large asymmetry in the strip widths. For very small strip widths, edge diffraction from half planes becomes dominant, whereas for the complementary wide strips the atom-surface interactions leads to a strong reduction of all non-specular diffraction peak intensities.Three-dimensional hierarchically porous carbon (denoted as SA-900) with a microporous, mesoporous and macroporous structure was facilely fabricated via direct carbonization of sodium alginate. SA-900 was fully characterized by N2 adsorption-desorption, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy to confirm its structure. SA-900 was coated onto a glassy carbon electrode surface to construct an ultrasensitive electrochemical sensing platform (SA-900/GCE). Electrochemical behaviors of hydroquinone (HQ), catechol (CC) and resorcinol (RC) on the SA-900/GCE surface were investigated, and it was found that SA-900 possesses excellent electrocatalytic activity towards them. Experimental conditions including carbonization temperature, pH value, SA-900 concentration, accumulation potential and accumulation time were optimized for quantitative assay. Under optimized conditions, linear ranges for simultaneous determination of HQ, CC and RC are 0.05-1.50 μM, 0.05-1.50 μM and 0.50-15.00 μM, respectively. Detection limits for HQ, CC and RC are calculated to be 0.0183 μM, 0.0303 μM and 0.3193 μM (S/N = 3). The SA-900/GCE based electrochemical sensing platform is applied for determining HQ, CC and RC in lake water samples with satisfactory results.In the title compound, the oxalate ligand simultaneously bridges both Mn-centred and Na-centred octahedra to produce a unique 'doubly-interpenetrated' perovskite-like lattice with an unconventional octahedral tilt system. In turn, the coordination requirements of the oxalate ligand lead to a rare 'twisted' conformation.Although cyanofluoroalkylation has received increasing attention, a toxic cyanation reagent is usually required. Herein, a Cu-catalyzed difluorocarbene-based cyanodifluoromethylation of alkenes with BrCF2CO2Et/NH4HCO3 under photocatalytic conditions is described. BrCF2CO2Et and NH4HCO3 serve as a carbon source and a nitrogen source of the nitrile group, respectively, avoiding the use of a stoichiometric toxic cyanation reagent. The Cu-complex plays a dual role. It is not only a photocatalyst, but also a coupling catalyst for the formation of a C-CN bond.
