A Pyrazine-Based 2D Conductive Metal-Organic Framework for Efficient Lithium Storage

The merits of intrinsic electrical conductivity, high specific surface area, tunable chemical composition and tailor-made properties enable two-dimensional conductive metal-organic frameworks (2D c-MOFs) as promising next-generation electrode materials in the field of energy storage and conversion. Herein, we have designed and synthesized a novel pyrazine-based 2D c-MOF (TPQG-Cu-MOF) bearing extended π-conjugated structure and abundant redox active sites. Thanks to the excellent redox reversibility of pyrazine units and CuO2 units, as well as the insolubility of the rigid framework skeleton, TPQG-Cu-MOF as the cathode material of lithium-ion battery exhibits a reversible specific capacity (150.2 mAh·g–1 at 20 mAh·g–1), good cycling stability (capacity retention of 82.6% after 500 cycles at 1 A·g–1) and excellent rate performance. Comprehensive ex-situ spectroscopic studies revealed the reversible redox activity of pyrazine units and CuO2 units of TPQG-Cu-MOF during the Li+ insertion/extraction process. The deepening fundamental understanding of the structure-property relationship was proposed, which might pave the way for further development of efficient MOF-based energy storage devices.

A pyrazine based metal-organic framework for selective removal of copper from strongly acidic solutions

The selective capture of copper from strongly acidic solutions is of vital importance from the perspective of sustainable development and environmental protection.Metal organic frameworks(MOFs)have attracted the interest of many scholars for adsorption due to their fascinating physicochemical characteristics,including adjustable structure,strong stability and porosity.Herein,pz-UiO-66 containing a pyrazine structure is successfully synthesized for the efficient separation of copper from strongly acidic conditions.Selective copper removal at low pH values is accomplished by using this material that is not available in previously reported metal–organic frameworks.Furthermore,the material exhibits excellent adsorption capacity,with a theoretical maximum copper uptake of 247 mg/g.As proven by XPS and FT-IR analysis,the coordination of pyrazine nitrogen atoms with copper ions is the dominant adsorption mechanism of copper by pz-UiO-66.This work provides an opportunity for efficient and selective copper removal under strongly acidic conditions,and promises extensive application prospects for the removal of copper in the treatment for acid metallurgical wastewater.

Precise Design and Deliberate Tuning of Turn-On Fluorescence in Tetraphenylpyrazine-Based Metal-Organic Frameworks

The manipulation on turn-on fluorescence in solid state materials attracts increasing interests owing to their widespread applications.Herein we report how the nonradiative pathways of tetraphenylpyrazine(TPP)units in metal-organic frameworks(MOFs)systems could be hindered through a topological design approach.Two MOFs single crystals of different topology were constructed via the solvothermal reaction of a TPP-based 4,4',4",4"-(pyrazine-2,3,5,6-tetrayl)tetrabenzoic acid(H,TCPP)ligand and metal cations,and their mechanisms of formation have been explored.Compared with the innate lowfrequency vibrational modes of flu net Tb-TCPP-1,such as phenyl ring torsions and pyrazine twists,Tb-TCPP-2 adopts a shp net,so the dihedral angle of pyrazine ring and phenyl arms is larger,and the center pyrazine ring in TPP unit is coplanar,which hinders the radiationless decay of TPP moieties in Tb-TCPP-2.Thereby Tb-TCPP-2 exhibits a larger blue-shifted fluorescence and a higher fluorescence quantum yield than Tb-TCPP-1,which is consistent with the reduced nonradiative pathways.Furthermore,Density functional theory(DFT)studies also confirmed aforementioned tunable turn-on fluorescence mechanism.Our work constructed TPP-type MOFs based on a deliberately topological design approach,and the precise design of turn-on fluorescence holds promise as a strategy for controlling nonradiative pathways.

Discovery of a series of dimethoxybenzene FGFR inhibitors with 5H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyrazine scaffold: structure–activity relationship, crystal structural characterization and in vivo study

Genomic alterations are commonly found in the signaling pathways of fibroblast growth factor receptors(FGFRs). Although there is no selective FGFR inhibitors in market, several promising inhibitors have been investigated in clinical trials, and showed encouraging efficacies in patients. By designing a hybrid between the FGFR-selectivity-enhancing motif dimethoxybenzene group and our previously identified novel scaffold, we discovered a new series of potent FGFR inhibitors, with the best one showing sub-nanomolar enzymatic activity. After several round of optimization and with the solved crystal structure, detailed structure–activity relationship was elaborated. Together with in vitro metabolic stability tests and in vivo pharmacokinetic profiling, a representative compound(35) was selected and tested in xenograft mouse model, and the result demonstrated that inhibitor 35 was effective against tumors with FGFR genetic alterations, exhibiting potential for further development.

Synthesis, properties and application of novel 5,6,5,6-tetracyclic pyrazine/pyrrole-fused unsymmetric bis（BF2） fluorescent dyes:BOPYPYs

Novel 5,6,5,6-tetracyclic pyrazine/pyrrole-fused unsymmetric bis(BF2) fluorescent dyes(BOPYPYs) were obtained by reaction of pyrrole-2-carboxaldehyde with 1-(pyrazin-2-yl)hydrazine in the presence of Et3 N-BF3·Et2 O for the first time.The absorption maxima of pyrazine-fused BOPYPY are obviously bathochromic shifts,in contrast to those of the reported BOPPY,indicating that the discrepant substitute groups between pyridine and pyrazine result in the remarkable wavelength difference.The new series of BO PYPYs possess high molar extinction coefficients,high fluorescence quantum yields,and larger Stokes shifts.A Knoevenagel reaction of BOPYPY with 4-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde smoothly produced the dye with the extension of π-conjugation.Dimethylamino-containing BOPYPY as a pH-responsive fluorescent sensor could detect pH value.

Theoretical study on S_1(~1B_(3u)) state electronic structure and absorption spectrum of pyrazine

Making use of a set of quantum chemistry methods, the harmonic potential surfaces of the ground state (S0(1Ag)) and the first (S1(1B3u)) excited state of pyrazine are investigated, and the electronic structures of the two states are characterized. In the present study, the conventional quantum mechanical method, taking account of the Born-Oppenheimer adiabatic approximation, is adopted to simulate the absorp-tion spectrum of S1(1B3u) state of pyrazine. The assignment of main vibronic transitions is made for S1(1B3u) state. It is found that the spectral profile is mainly described by the Franck-Condon progression of totally symmetric mode ν6a. For the five totally symmetric modes, the present calculations show that the frequency differences between the ground and the S1(1B3u) state are small. Therefore the displaced harmonic oscillator approximation along with Franck-Condon transition is used to simulate S1(1B3u) absorption spectra. The distortion effect due to the so-called quadratic coupling is demonstrated to be unimportant for the absorption spectrum, except the coupling mode ν10a. The calculated S1(1B3u) ab-sorption spectrum is in reasonable agreement with the experimental spectra.

A penta coordinated Cu(II) complex with mixed ligands 4,4′ bipyridine (4,4′ bpy) and 2 pyrazine 5 carboxylate anion (2 pzc), \[Cu(4,4′ bpy)(2 pzc)(H 2 O)\]ClO 4 ·H 2 O (1), has been solvothermally synthesized and characterized. Complex 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2 1 /n with a =0 82996(2) nm, b =1 58156(5) nm, c =1 53837(1) nm, β =103 536(2)°, V =1 96322(8) nm 3 , M r =478 30, Z =4, D c =1 618 g/cm 3 , final R = 0 0544 and wR =0 1487. The Structure of 1 indicates that the central Cu(II) atom is penta coordinated by two N atoms from two 4,4′ bpy ligands, and one N atom and one oxygen atom of the 2 pzc ligand in the equatorial plane, and one oxygen atom of the coordinated water molecule at the axial position. The coordination geometry of Cu(II) atom could be considered as a slightly distorted square pyramidal environment. The 4,4′ bpy ligands bridge the Cu(II) centers to form a one dimensional chain, and 2 pzc acts as a terminal chelated ligand, and π…π interaction between the pyrazine rings of 2 pzc ligands of adjacent chains links the chains into a 2D sheet. Furthermore, the hydrogen bonds among the oxygen atoms of the uncoordinated water molecules and the N atoms and O atoms of 2 pzc ligands and the oxygen atoms of the coordinated water molecules link the sheets into the ultimate 3D network of complex 1.

Rayleigh relaxation of pyrazine, pyridine and piperidine molecules adsorbed on the roughened Ag electrode by light beating technique

The light beating technique (intensity correlation algorithm) was employed to analyze the Rayleigh scattering from the roughened Ag electrode in very dilute (10^(-4)M) pyrazine, pyridine and piperidine aqueous solutions containing KCl (0.1 M). The relaxation time is longer when the applied voltages are between-0.4 V and-0.8 V(vs. SCE) where the Raman effect also shows greater surface enhancement. Also observed was that for the piperidine case the relaxation time reaches its maximum at the more negative applied voltage. The origin of the relaxation is attributed mainly to the desorp- tion process of the pyrazine. pyridine and piperidine molecules off the roughened Ag electrode. An. electrostatic model was also proposed for the interpretation of these experimental observations.

Time development of surface enhanced Raman intensities of the adsorbed pyrazine molecules on the silver electrode as the applied voltage varies

In this work,the time development of surface enhanced Raman intensities of the vibrational modes involving the ring skeleton and the C—H motions of the pyrazine molecule as the applied voltage on the silver electrode is shifted between -0.2 V and -0.5 V (vs.saturated calomel electrode)is reported.The observation shows that there are two processes of enhancement involved during this shift of applied voltage.One is vibrational mode dependent while the other is not.The detailed behavior of these two processes of enhancement is discussed along with the retarded response of the Helmholtz double layer structure to the change of the applied voltage on the electrode.
