Triazolophanes that incorporate pyridyl subunits in place of phenylenes show a heightened propensity to form 2:1 sandwich complexes with halides. Persistent iodide-based sandwiches are observed. Binding constants confirm the inward-facing electron pairs on pyridyls destabilize 1:1 The (1)H NMR spectra verify have two pi-stacked triazolophanes rotated allow registration between opposite dipoles (directed inward) and triazoles outward). These dipolar interactions cooperate lower pyridyl-based...

Abstract Contrary to the simple expectations from Coulomb's law, Weinhold proposed that anions can stabilize each other as metastable dimers, yet experimental evidence for these species and their mutual stabilization is missing. We show two bisulfate form such which with self‐complementary hydrogen bonds, by encapsulation inside a pair of cyanostar macrocycles. The resulting 2:2 complex homodimer persists across all states matter, including in solution. dimer's OH⋅⋅⋅O bonding seen 1 H NMR...

The assembly of individual molecules into hierarchical structures is a promising strategy for developing three-dimensional materials with properties arising from interaction between the building blocks. Virus capsids are elegant examples biomolecular nanostructures, which themselves hierarchically assembled limited number protein subunits. Here, we demonstrate bio-inspired modular construction two levels hierarchy: formation catalytically active virus-like particles (VLPs) through directed...

Abstract Triazolophanes are used as the venue to compete an aliphatic propylene CH hydrogen‐bond donor against aromatic phenylene one. Longer CH ⋅⋅⋅ Cl − hydrogen bonds were calculated from location of chloride within propylene‐based triazolophane. The gas‐phase energetics binding (Δ G bind , Δ H S ) and configurational entropy config computed by taking all low‐energy conformations into account. Comparison between phenylene‐ triazolophanes shows free energy decreased =−194 −182 kJ mol −1...

In this paper, we report the influence of reaction conditions and chain length on nanoparticle (NP) size morphology for thermal decomposition long-chain iron carboxylates such as Fe(III) oleate, palmitate, myristate. majority cases, spherical NPs are obtained; however, nonspherical morphologies were observed in some "extreme" conditions. For example, oxide nanostars formed eicosane at Fe oleate/oleic acid ratio 0.49 g/mL: highest oleic content when still form. The cubic with flat facets...

Significance Oncometabolites are small molecules that promote tumor formation and growth. L-2-hydroxyglutarate (L-2HG) is a putative oncometabolite associated with gliomas renal cell carcinomas, as well severe neurometabolic disorder known L-2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria. However, despite L-2HG commonly considered metabolic waste product, this compound was recently discovered to control immune fate, thereby demonstrating it has endogenous functions in healthy animal cells. Here, we find the...

Abstract The SeSe bond in an organo‐diselenide (RSeSeR, R is organic group) can break a 2e − reduction reaction, but it has limited capacity as cathode material for rechargeable lithium‐ion batteries. To increase its capacity, redox active species (e.g., sulfur) be added the middle of selenium atoms. Herein, phenyl diselenide (PDSe, PhSeSePh) mixed with sulfur to form two hybrid compounds 1:1 and 1:2 molar ratios, which almost double triple PDSe, respectively. Theoretical calculations...

Sulfur-based cathodes are promising to enable high-energy-density lithium-sulfur batteries; however, elemental sulfur as active material faces several challenges, including undesirable volume change (∼80%) when completely reduced and high dependence on liquid electrolyte wherein an electrolyte/sulfur ratio >10 μL mg-1 is required for utilization. These limit the attainable energy densities of these batteries. Herein, we introduce a new class phenyl polysulfides C6H5S xC6H5 (4 ≤ x 6) cathode...

Tryptic digests of three proteins are reacted with O-methylisourea in order to convert lysine residues homoarginines. The resulting homoarginine-terminated peptides exhibit more intense MALDI mass spectral peaks than their lysine-terminated predecessors. This simple chemical reaction should therefore facilitate protein sequencing and mapping. Copyright © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
