Abstract:
Electrochemical oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) with 2-electron process is an alternative for decentralized H2O2 production, but it remains high challenging to develop highly active and selective catalysts for this process. In this work, we present a selective and efficient nonprecious electrocatalyst, prepared through an easily scalable mild oxidation of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) with different oxidative acids including sulfur acid, nitride acid and mixed sulfuric/nitric acids, respectively. The high-degree oxidized SWNTs treated by mixed acids exhibit the highest activity and selectivity of electroreduction of oxygen to synthesize H2O2 at low overpotential in alkaline and neutral media. Spectroscopic characterizations suggested that the C–O is vital for catalyzing 2-electron ORR, providing an insightful understanding of defected carbon surface as the active catalytic sites for 2-electron ORR.

Abstract:
Excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) reactions of three ortho-hydroxylated oxazolines, 2-(4, 4-dimethyl-4, 5-dihydro-oxazol-2-yl)-phenol (DDOP), 4-(4, 4-dimethyl-4, 5-dihydro-oxazol-2-yl)-[1, 1΄-biphenyl]-3-ol (DDOP-C6H5) and 4-(4, 4-dimethyl-4, 5-dihydrooxazol-2-yl)-3-hydroxy-benzonitrile (DDOP-CN), have been systematically explored by density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) methods. Two stable configurations (enol and keto forms) are found in the ground states (S0) for all the compounds while the enol form only exists in the first excited states (S1) for the compound modified with electron donating group (-C6H5). In addition, the calculated absorption and emission spectra of the compounds are in good agreements with the experiments. Infrared vibrational spectra at the hydrogen bond groups demonstrate that the intramolecular hydrogen bond O(1)−H(2)···N(3) in DDOP-C6H5 is strengthened in the S1 states, while the frontier molecular orbitals further reveal that the ESIPT reactions are more likely to occur in the S1 states for all the compounds. Besides, the proton transfer potential energy curves show that the enol forms can barely convert into keto forms in the S0 states because of the high energy barriers. Meanwhile, intramolecular proton transfer of all the compounds could occur in S1 states. The ESIPT reactions of the ortho-hydroxylated oxazolines are barrierless processes for unsubstituted DDOP and electron withdrawing substituted DDOP-CN, while the electron donating substituted DDOP-C6H5 has a small barrier, so the electron donating is unfavorable to the ESIPT reactions of ortho-hydroxylated oxazolines.

Abstract:
Acetaldehyde dehydrogenase 1A1 is a hopeful therapeutic target to ovarian cancer. In this present work, 3D-QSAR, molecular docking and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were implemented on a series of quinoline-based ALDH1A1 inhibitors to investigate novel acetaldehyde dehydrogenase 1A1 inhibitors as anti-cancer adjuvant drugs for ovarian cancer. Two reliable CoMFA (Q2 = 0.583, R2 = 0.967) and CoMSIA (Q2 = 0.640, R2 = 0.977) models of ALDH1A1 inhibitors were established. Novel ALDH1A1 inhibitors were predicted by the 3D-QSAR models. Molecular docking reveals important residues for protein-compound interactions, and the results revealed ALDH1A1 inhibitors had stronger electrostatic interaction and binding affinity with key residues of protein, such as Phe171, Val174 and Cys303. Molecular dynamics simulations further verified the results of molecular docking. The above information provided significant guidance for the design of novel ALDH1A1 inhibitors.

Abstract:
In this study, CoMFA, CoMSIA and HQSAR techniques were used to study the important characteristic activities of thieno [2, 3-d] pyrimidine derivatives for effective antitumor activity. The q2 value of cross validation of CoMFA model was 0.621, and r2 value of non-cross validation was 0.959. The best cross validation q2 value of CoMSIA model was 0.522, while the r2 value of non-cross validation was 0.961. The most effective HQSAR model was obtained by taking atoms and bonds as fragments: the q2 value of cross validation is 0.535, the r2 value of non-cross validation is 0.871, the standard error of prediction is 0.488, and the optimal hologram length is 199. The statistical parameters from the model show that the data fit well and have high prediction ability. In addition, molecular docking is used to study the binding requirements between ligands and receptor proteins, including several hydrogen bonds between thieno [2, 3-d] pyrimidine and active site residues. The results obtained from these QSAR modeling studies can be used to design promising anticancer drugs.

Abstract:
A new coordination polymer containing mixed ligands, namely [Ni(S2COiBu)2(DBPMF)·(CHCl3)] (DBPMF = 2, 7-dibromo-9, 9-(4-pyridylmethyl)fluorine), has been synthesized and structurally characterized by elemental analysis and single-crystal X-ray diffractions. X-ray structural analysis reveals that each Ni atom is coordinated by two isobutyl xanthogenate molecules and two nitrogen atoms from two DBPMF ligands to form octahedral coordination geometry. DBPMF acts as a bridge to form a coordination polymer. Fluorescence property of this coordination polymer displays a broad emission band at λ = 413 nm. Thermal analysis shows that the solvent molecule CHCl3 can be stabilized in the crystal structure until 140 ℃.

Abstract:
Three lanthanide complexes [LnL3(H2O)]PMo12O40·CH3CN (Ln = Dy3+ for 1, Ln = Ho3+ for 2, Ln = Lu3+ for 3, L = tetraethyl ethylenediphosphonate) have been synthesized, and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, elemental analysis, IR, PXRD, thermogravimetric analysis and terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS). Structural analysis results show that they have the same coordination mode and similar steric structures. Complexes 1~3 all crystallize in the monoclinic crystal system with space group P21/c. The centered Ln(Ⅲ) obtained a seven-coordinated mononuclear structure by linking with three tetraethyl ethylenediphosphonates and one water molecule, resulting in a three-dimensional supramolecular structure through hydrogen bonding. The three complexes have good adsorption properties for rhodamine B (RhB) in powder state. Moreover, terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) was applied to represent the structures of complexes and ligands, which will provide useful information for establishing bridge between THz and complex structure in coordination chemistry.

Different coordination modes of two semi-rigid multi-carboxylate ligands and L1 and L2 also have been briefly discussed, which also reveal the great potential in the construction of these novel mixed-ligand luminescent frameworks with diverse structural motifs and unique functional properties.

Abstract:
There are currently many materials for treating residual antibiotics in the environment, but none of them can specifically remove antibiotics. In addition, these materials are not sensitive enough to low concentrations of antibiotics. Here we show that a sensitive and specific material was developed by the preparation of magnetic Fe3O4-PAMAM-antibody complexes for treating tetracycline. The prepared antibody complexes can specifically treat tetracycline from aqueous solutions and the tetracycline removal ability by adsorption was also investigated. Controlled experiments were carried out with the effects of solution pH, temperature, and initial concentration of the tetracycline. The tetracycline was completely removed within 35 min at room temperature 30 ℃ with the maximum removal rate of almost 100%. Therefore, this material for specifically combining antigen and antibody to treat tetracycline indicated good application prospects for the waste water treatment.
