Multimode Self-Oscillating Vesicle Transformers

Engineering synthetic materials that mimic the complex rhythmic oscillatory behavior of living cells is a fundamental challenge in science and technology. Up to now, the reported synthetic model system still cannot compete with nature in oscillatory modes and amplitudes. Presented here is a novel alternating copolymer vesicle that exhibits drastic and multimode shape oscillations in real time, which are controlled by polymer concentrations and driven by the Belousov—Zhabotinsky oscillatory reaction, including swelling/deswelling, twisting/detwisting, stretching/shrinking, fusion/fission, and multiple division. Some of them, especially the fission oscillation, have not been observed before. In addition, the oscillation magnitude with regard to diameter is much larger than that of previously reported self-oscillating vesicles. Such a self-oscillating vesicle transformer would extend the complexity and capacity of membrane deformations in synthetic systems, approaching those of natural cells.

A covalently linked dimer of [Ag25(DMBT)18]-

We report the first example of a covalently bound dimer of monolayer protected atomically precise silver nanocluster [Ag25(DMBT)18]- (DMBT stands for 2,4-dimethylbenzenethiol). Covalently linked dimers could be important to design new cluster assembled materials with composite properties.

Synthesis and characterization of tris(2,2′-bipyridine)ruthenium(II)- centered polystyrenes via reversible addition - Fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization

A novel bipyridine-functionalized dithioester, 5,5′- bis(thiobenzoylthiomethyl)-2,2′-bipyridine (3), was first synthesized through a simple ester exchange reaction with the commercially available dithioester, carboxymethyl dithiobenzoate (CMDB), and furth
