The diagrams of logarithm ion concentrations versus pH values at different solution compositions were drawn. The results show that Ni^2+ and Co^2+ can completely precipitate at pH less than 5.0 and the predefined Ni/Co ratios can be well kept in the precursor. The precursor morphology is granular aggregation. However, rod aggregation precursor is obtained in the pH range of 5.0-8.0, and fibre-shape precursor is got at pH value higher than 8.0. The Ni/Co ratios in the above two precursors are not reproduced as that in the feed due to the formhtion of multi-coordinated Ni(NH3)n^2+ and Co(NH3)n^2+ (n=1-6). Modification of precipitation medium is favorable for the precursors to keep the predefined Ni/Co ratios of the feed in the pH range of 2.0-8.6. Meanwhile, the precursors with fibrous morphology can be obtained.展开更多

Some complex inorganic oxides are known that they may be promising color materials (absorbing visible light of certain wavelengths region) having potential application for environmentally benign catalysts, for example, photocatalysts. Chiral copper(Ⅱ) complexes having bidentate amine ligands ([CuL2]2+) can be acted as cationic building blocks of bimetallic metal complexes. We have prepared some chiral bimetallic complexes with various anionic metal complexes such as [PtCl4]2-, [M02O7]2 and Mn12 clusters (typical single-molecule magnets) which characterized by means of solid-state electronic and CD (circular dichroism) spectra, IR (infrared) spectra, synchrotron XRD (X-ray diffraction) and XAS (soft X-ray absorption spectroscopy). By sintering these precursor chiral bimetallic complexes, we have prepared complex inorganic oxides from them. The IR spectra indicated substituting metal-ligand bonds and losing organic moieties. The XRD pattern indicated complete changes of crystal structures. The XAS revealed replacing coordination atoms as well as oxidation of valences of metal ions. Furthermore, we will also investigate possibility of patterning by homogeneous precipitation method as bimetallic complexes to prepare desirable complex inorganic oxides.展开更多

The two bis-imidazolinium salts were used as efficient precursor of NHC ancillary ligands in the palladium-catalyzed Heck reaction. Good to excellent yields and high stereoselectivities were obtained with ethyl acrylate, acrylonitrile, and acrylamide as starting materials. The structure of bis-imidazolinium salt 4b was further characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis.展开更多

We previously obtained an adipocyte-specific aptamer termed Adipo8 in vitro. In this present study, this adipocyte-specific aptamer Adipo8 was first chemically modified by introduction of phosphorothioate linkages(PS-linkages) and then conjugated to polyethylene glycol(PEG), we tested whether this modified aptamer could distinguish mature white adipocytes from 3T3-L1 preadipocytes or brown adipocytes. To verify the binding affinity of this aptamer to mature white adipocytes in vivo as well as in vitro, we tested whether modified Adipo8 could specifically bind to the WAT of Diet-Induced Obesity(DIO) C57BL/6 mice. Finally, we examined the effect of Adipo8 on the adipogenic differentiation of mature white adipocytes. Based on our results, PS-modified aptamer demonstrated its high binding affinity and specificity, and was able to distinguish white adipocytes from 3T3-L1 preadipocytes or brown adipocytes in vitro. PS-modified Adipo8 also demonstrated more biostability and prolonged binding time in biological fluids. Additionally, Adipo8 could inhibit adipogenic differentiation of adipose tissue, possibly by inhibiting the expression of PPAR-γ in adipose tissue. This modified aptamer holds great promise as a stable molecular recognition tool for targeted delivery to adipocytes and has potential in the treatment of obesity.展开更多
