In this study, a novel composite of Iodine-doped bismuth oxybromide (I-BiOBr)/carbon quantum dots was synthesized using a simple chemical precipitation method at ambient temperature. The bandgap energy of bismuth oxybromide (BiOBr) can be reduced from 2.78 to 2.28 eV by introducing I-ions, aligning it with the upconverted emission spectrum of carbon quantum dots. Consequently, the photodegradation efficiency of I-BiOBr/carbon quantum dots reached a 95% degradation rate for methyl orange after 120 min of visible light irradiation, which is 4.2 times than that of BiOBr.
本研究采用简单的化学沉淀法，在常温下合成了碘掺杂氧溴化铋（I-BiOBr）/碳量子点的新型复合材料。通过引入 I 离子，氧溴化铋（BiOBr）的带隙能可从 2.78 eV 降至 2.28 eV，使其与碳量子点的上转换发射光谱相一致。因此，在可见光照射 120 分钟后，I-BiOBr/碳量子点对甲基橙的光降解效率达到 95%，是 BiOBr 的 4.2 倍。

Herein, we report the UV-induced controlled radical polymerization facilitated by titanium dioxide nanoparticles and trithiocarbonate derivatives, serving as photocatalysts and chain transfer agents, respectively. The polymerization proceeded through a reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) process. The resulting polymers exhibited well-controlled molecular weights and relatively low polydispersity. Additionally, the chain extension reaction via UV-induced RAFT polymerization using titanium dioxide nanoparticles yielded higher-molecular weight polymer products.

We have developed a diazirine–alkyne tag for target protein–ligand interaction analysis. A sulfonamide photoaffinity probe was readily prepared using copper-catalyzed azide–alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC), which site-specifically formed a covalent bond with human carbonic anhydrase 1 (∼30% labeling yield). The photolabeled position (E58–H64 region) was determined based on the results of a tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) analysis of tryptic peptides and was supported by molecular modeling studies. Our method may be useful for determining unknown ligand-binding sites of various target biomolecules.

δ-NbN powder with particles of approximately 1 µm in size was obtained by heating a mixture of NaNbO3 and BN powders at 1373 K for 1 h, while agglomerates composed of ε-NbN platelet grains up to 50 µm in size were obtained by heating the mixture at the same temperature for 10 h. Metathesis reaction in which sodium borate was formed with replacement of the oxygen and nitrogen from NaNbO3 and BN occurred with the NbN formation. Wavelength-dispersive X-ray analysis showed that the molar ratios of Nb to N in the synthesized δ-NbN and ε-NbN were approximately 1:1. Magnetic susceptibility measurements showed that the δ-NbN powder was a superconductor with a transition temperature of approximately 16 K. In comparison, the ε-NbN agglomerates did not exhibit superconductivity above 2 K.

The structure and stability of proteins are affected by ions. We have previously reported that cytochrome c can form a 3D domain-swapped dimer. The structure of the cytochrome c domain-swapped dimer becomes more compact in the presence of kosmotropic anions, whereas the thermal stability of the dimer decreased with addition of chaotropic anions based on the Hofmeister series. Dimers were formed by incubating cytochrome c at 50 °C in the presence of citrate ions.

A novel large-pore titanosilicate with YFI topology, [Ti]-YNU-5, was prepared via post-synthetic isomorphous substitution of Ti for Al in the YFI framework. It exhibited the enhanced catalytic performances in the liquid-phase epoxidation of bulky alkenes and the oxidation of phenol with hydrogen peroxide. Hydrophobicity was found to be an important factor.

The reactivity of the carbon dioxide radical anion (CO2•−) toward alkenes has garnered remarkable attention owing to its potential to synthesize valuable organic compounds. Herein, we report the reactions between CO2•− and 1,6-dienes, yielding 5-membered lactam derivatives via highly trans-selective 5-exo-trig cyclization. Both carboxylative cyclization and hydrocyclization occur with up to 74% combined yield. Computational studies show that the transition state during cyclization favors the trans-configuration over cis. This work offers new insights into the synthesis of N-heterocycles.
