A series of first generation dendritic guests from pentaerythritol derivatives have been designed and synthesized. Investigation of the complex structures of cucurbit[8]uril (Q[8]) and the guests based on the 1H NMR technique have revealed that the host Q[8] selectively included different branch(es) of the first generation dendritic guests and formed inclusion complexes with different structural conformations. The experimental results obtained from electronic absorption spectroscopy showed that the 1:1 ratio of Q[8]-based host-guest inclusion complexes have moderate stability with an average formation constants of 104 L mol-1. The single crystal structures of some of the guests (g5 and g6) and Q[8]-guest complexes (Q[8]-g4 and Q[8]-g6) further confirm but in some cases contradict the research results of the 1H NMR technique and electronic absorption spectroscopy in aqueous solution.

Chemotherapeutic drugs currently used in clinical settings have high toxicity, low specificity, and short half-lives. Herein, polypyrrole-based anticancer drug nanocapsules were prepared by tailoring the size of the nanoparticles with a template method, controlling drug release by means of an aromatic imine, increasing nanoparticle stability through PEGylation, and improving tumor-cell selectivity by folate mediation. The nanoparticles were characterized by TEM and dynamic light scattering. α-Folate receptor expression levelsof tumor cells and normal cells were investigated by western blot and quantitative polymerase chain reaction analyses. Flow cytometry and fluorescence imaging were used to verify the cell uptake of the different-sized nanoparticles. From the different-sized polypyrrole nanoparticles, the optimally functionalized nanoparticles of 180 nm hydrodynamic diameter were chosen and further usedfor in vitroandin vivotests. The nanoparticles showed excellent biocompatibility and the drug-loaded nanoparticles exhibited effective inhibition of tumor cell growth in vitro. Moreover, the drug-loaded nanoparticles showed substantially enhanced accumulation in tumor regions and effectively inhibitedin vivotumor growth. Furthermore, the nanoparticles showed reduced doxorubicin-induced toxicity andno significant side effects in normal organs of tumor-bearing mice, as measured by body-weight shifts and evaluationof drug distribution. Overall, the functionalized nanoparticles are promising nanocarriers for tumor-targeting drug delivery.

The performance of Ru(ii) dye-sensitized nanocrystalline TiO2 solar cells (DSSCs) is described with newly synthesized multivalent macromolecules, containing excellent optoelectronic acridinedione linked with 1,2,3-triazole units, via a novel and convenient Cu(I)-catalyzed alkyne and azide 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition (CuAAC) reaction. These unique macromolecules have proved to be highly suitable for utilizing additives in I -/I3- redox couple electrolytes. Among the various substitutions, the maximum photo-current conversion efficiency of about 6.4% with a Voc of 810 mV was obtained with electron rich substitutions in the nitrogen heteroatom.
