RESUMO
To better understand the relationship between molecular structure of the mono-/bis-BF2-core compounds and mechanofluoroboron behaviors, two pyridine-based difluoroboron compounds with triphenylamine group (TPA-ts-BF2 and TPA-ts-2BF2) were designed and successfully synthesized, which TPA-ts-BF2 including a BF2 fluorophore and TPA-ts-2BF2 containing the bisBF2 fluorophores. Based on the photophysical properties measurements results, it was found that TPA-ts-2BF2 had more excellent intramolecular charge transfer characteristics than that of TPA-ts-BF2, and exhibited significant aggregation-induced emission activity, however, TPA-ts-BF2 displayed typical aggregation-caused quenching phenomenon. Meanwhile, the emission spectrum of the solid powders of TPA-ts-2BF2 was red-shifted 52 nm after grinding, that of TPA-ts-BF2 was red-shifted 46 nm, which was resulted from crystalline state switching to amorphous state. According to the theoretical calculations, we conjectured that TPA-ts-BF2 with uncoordinated amide linkage moiety had a tendency to forming a more twisted conformance and higher molecular polarity, which made that mechanofluorochromic behavior was worse than that of TPA-ts-2BF2. Additionally, TPA-ts-2BF2 was applied to latent fingerprint detection due to its prime aggregation-induced emission property.
RESUMO
Two novel Rhodococcus strains, LHW50502T and LHW51113T, were isolated from marine sponges obtained on Xisha Island, Hainan Province, PR China. Rods and cocci, typical characteristics of the genus Rhodococcus, were observed. The strains contained meso-diaminopimelic acid as the diagnostic diamino acid in the cell-wall hydrolysates and galactose, arabinose, ribose and glucose as the whole-cell sugars. The major fatty acid identified was C16â:â0. MK-8(H4) was the predominat menaquinone of both strains. Stains LHW50502T and LHW51113T had almost identical (99.6â%) 16S rRNA gene sequences but shared relatively low similarities with previously characterized Rhodococcus species (well below 98.7â%). The results of phylogenetic analysis supported their closest relationship; however, the average nucleotide identity and digital DNA-DNA hybridization values between these two strains indicated that they belonged to distinct species. Taken together, the results of this study indicate that strains LHW50502T and LHW51113T represent two novel species of the genus Rhodococcus, for which the names Rhodococcus spongiicola sp. nov. (type strain LHW50502T=DSM 106291T=CCTCC AA 2018033T) and Rhodococcus xishaensis sp. nov. (type strain LHW51113T=DSM 106204T=CCTCC AA 2018034T) are proposed.
