Encapsulation and sensitization of UV-vis and near infrared lanthanide hydrate emitters for dual- and bimodal-emissions in both air and aqueous media based on a porous heteroatom-rich Cd(II)-framework

A porous heteroatom-rich Cd(II)-polymeric framework which is generated from an ethylene glycol ether-bridging dicarboxylate ligand L, 4,4′-bipy and Cd(II) ion is reported. It contains one-dimensional tubes (9-11 ?) which are able to trap cationic lanthanide hydrates such as Eu(H2O) 83+, Tb(H2O)83+, and Nd(H2O)83+ under ambient conditions to generate Ln(H2O)83+-loaded materials. In addition, the heteroatom-rich host material can effectively protect and sensitize the encapsulated Ln3+ emitters in their hydrate form in both air and aqueous media. Furthermore, the dual- and bimodal-emissions are successfully realized by intercalation of the different Ln3+-hydrates based on a guest-driven approach.

Robust multifunctional Zr-based metal-organic polyhedra for high proton conductivity and selective CO2 capture

New stable Zr-based metal-organic polyhedra (MOPs) have been designed and constructed through the self-assembly of a designed flexible sulfonate-carboxylate ligand, 1,2-bis(sodium-2-sulfonate-4-carboxyphenoxy)ethane (NaH2L), and the secondary building units (SBUs) of Cp3Zr3(μ3-O)(μ2-OH)3, (Cp = η5-C5H5). The MOPs feature candy-like cages and the anionic sulfonic groups on the organic ligand strengthened the stability of the MOPs (thermal stability and acid and alkali resistance) by forming strong multiple charge-assisted hydrogen bonds with the cationic SBUs. The unique cavities of this 3D porous framework endowed the MOPs with highly selective CO2 capture. The 2D H-bond networks obtained by the connection of coordinated water molecules and free water molecules between the discrete MOPs enabled a high proton conductivity of 1.41 × 10-3 S cm-1 at 30 °C, 98% relative humidity (RH) and a low activation energy of 0.225 eV for the proton transfer.

Biological evaluation of bisbenzaldehydes against four Mycobacterium species

A series of bisbenzaldehydes and structurally related analogs, conveniently synthesized via microwave-assisted reactions, were evaluated in vitro against drug susceptible and multi-drug resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis, against virulent Mycobacterium bovis, against Mycobacterium ulcerans and against two Mycobacterium avium subspecies. Among the 33 substances that were tested, compound 12, i.e. 4,4′-[1,12-dodecanediyl(oxy)]bisbenzaldehyde, emerged as the most promising hit. Its activity was further confirmed in an intracellular growth inhibition assay of M. tb in murine J774 A.1 macrophages. None of the compounds showed significant cytotoxicity on human C3A hepatocytes in a neutral red dye uptake assay and no genotoxicity or mutagenicity was observed as demonstrated by a VITOTOX test and confirmed with a comet assay.

FROM CONVENTIONAL TO LIQUID CRYSTALLINE POLYESTERS

To obtain liquid crystalline copolyesters with improved thermal behavior, p-acetoxybenzoyloxy-benzoic acid and a variety of dicarboxylic acids derived from p-hydroxybenzoic acid in combination with acetylated hydroquinone derivatives have been used as poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PETP) modifiers.The influence of the modifier structure on thermotropic properties of the copolyesters and results of dynamic mechanical measurements are discussed.

Process for preparing α,ω-bis(2-chlorophenoxy)alkane-4,4'-dicarboxylic acid or its lower alkyl ester

A process for producing an α,ω-bis(2-chlorophenoxy)alkane-4,4'-dicarboxylic acid or its ester, that has a high Young's modulus and that is useful as a material for polyesters capable to form self-extinguishing fibers and films. Thus α,ω-bis(2-chlorophenoxy)alkane-4,4'-dicarboxylic acid or its ester is obtained by reacting α,ω-bis(phenoxy)alkane-4,4'-dicarboxylic acid or its ester with chlorine in the presence of a solvent selected from the group consisting of lower fatty acid having 2 to 6 carbon atoms, hydrocarbon chloride having 1 to 8 carbon atoms, and carbon chloride having 1 to 2 carbon atoms, in high yield.
