RESUMO
Designing and innovating organic structure-directing agents is the key to synthesizing novel molecular sieve structures. Herein, we design a novel carbazolyl-modified template and further synthesize a two-dimensional layered aluminophosphate with [C17H21N2]3[Al3(PO4)4]·5H2O (denoted as ZHKU-2). ZHKU-2 is composed of AA-stacked [Al3P4O16]3- layers constructed from alternating AlO4 and PO3(=O) tetrahedrons to form a 4.6.8 network featured by capped six-ring secondary building units. Carbazolyl-templated ZHKU-2 exhibits strong purple fluorescence with a high quantum yield of 25.98%. This work expands aluminophosphate materials of the [Al3P4O16]3- family and provides a view for synthesizing new molecular sieves by exploring the organic luminescence structure-directing agents.
RESUMO
The optically active Ir(III) complex Λ-[Ir(ppy)2(MeCN)2](PF6) (ppy is 2-phenylpyridine) with a chiral-at-metal was first demonstrated to preferentially react with (R)-configuration sulfoxides 2-(alkylsulfinyl)phenol (HLO-R, R = Me, Et, iPr, and Bn) rather than (S)-configuration sulfoxides under thermodynamic equilibrium due to the hydrogen-bonding interaction and the differences in the steric interference, and thus act as a highly efficient enantioreceptor for resolution of sulfoxide enatiomers. Treatment of Λ-[Ir(ppy)2(MeCN)2](PF6) with 2 equiv of rac-HLO-R offered (S)-HLO-R in yields of 46-47% with 97-99% enantiomeric excess (ee) values and Λ-[Ir(ppy)2{(S)-LO-R}] complex in yields of 89-93% with 98% diastereomeric excess (de). The (R)-HLO-R chiral sulfoxides were obtained by the acidolysis of Λ-[Ir(ppy)2{(S)-LO-R}] complexes with trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) in the presence of coordinated solvent MeCN in yields of 45-47% with 98-99% ee values. Moreover, the enantioreceptor Λ-[Ir(ppy)2(MeCN)2](PF6) can be recycled in a yield of 86-91% with complete retention of the configuration at metal center and can be reused in a next reaction cycle without loss of reaction activity and enantioselectivity. The absolute configurations at the metal centers and sulfur atoms were determined by X-ray crystallography.
RESUMO
Chiral precursors Λ-[Ir(ppy)2(l-pro)] (Λ-L, where ppy is 2-phenylpyridine; pro is proline), Λ-[Ir(ppy)2(MeCN)2](PF6) (Λ-1), Δ-[Ir(ppy)2(d-pro)] (Δ-D), and Δ-[Ir(ppy)2(MeCN)2](PF6) (Δ-1) were synthesized from rac-[(Ir(ppy)2)2Cl2] and l-pro or d-pro by means of the auxiliary ligand strategy with 99% de values. The enantiopure mono complexes Λ/Δ-[Ir(ppy)2(L)](PF6) (L is 2,2'-bipyridine, Λ/Δ-2; L is 2,2'-dipyrimidine (dpm), Λ/Δ-3; L is 2,2'-bibenzimidazole (H2bbim), Λ/Δ-4) with 99% ee values and binuclear complexes ΛΛ/ΔΔ-[(Ir(ppy)2)2(dpm)](PF6)2 (ΛΛ-5 and ΔΔ-5) and ΛΛ/ΔΔ-[(Ir(ppy)2)2(bbim)] (ΛΛ-6 and ΔΔ-6) with 99% de values were synthesized in one step using the corresponding chiral precursors. The absolute configurations at Ir(III) centers of precursor Δ-1, mononuclear Λ-3, and binuclear ΔΔ-6 were confirmed by single-crystal structural analysis and characterized by circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy. The correlation between the absolute configuration at Ir(III) center and CD spectra was established. The configurations at Ir(III) centers are stable during the reactions, and the chiral precursors can be used for the asymmetric synthesis of enantiomerically pure mono- and polynuclear Ir(III) complexes. Moreover, meso ΛΔ-[(Ir(ppy)2)2(dpm)](PF6)2 (meso-5) and ΛΔ-[(Ir(ppy)2)2(bbim)] (meso-6) were also synthesized using these precursors.
RESUMO
The preparation of chiral 2-(alkylsulfinyl)phenol compounds by enantioselective coordination-oxidation of the thioether ruthenium complexes with a chiral-at-metal strategy has been developed. The enantiomerically pure sulfoxide complexes Δ-[Ru(bpy)2{(R)-LO-R}](PF6) (bpy is 2,2'-bipyridine, HLO-R is 2-(alkylsulfinyl)phenol, R = Me (Δ-1a), Et (Δ-2a), iPr (Δ-3a), Bn (Δ-4a), and Nap (Δ-5a)) and Λ-[Ru(bpy)2{(S)-LO-R}](PF6) (R = Me (Λ-1a), Et (Λ-2a), iPr (Λ-3a), Bn (Λ-4a), and Nap (Λ-5a)) have been synthesized by the reaction of Δ-[Ru(bpy)2(py)2](2+) or Λ-[Ru(bpy)2(py)2](2+) with the prochiral thioether ligands 2-(alkylthio)phenol (HL-R), followed by enantioselective oxidation with m-CPBA as oxidant. The X-ray crystallography was used to verify the stereochemistry of ruthenium complexes and sulfur atoms. The configurations of the ruthenium complexes are stable during the coordination and oxidation reactions. Moreover, the chiral sulfoxide ligands are enantioselectively generated by controlling of the configuration of ruthenium centers in the course of oxidation reaction. That is, the Λ configuration at the ruthenium center generates the S sulfoxide ligand; on the contrary, the Δ configuration of the ruthenium complex originates the R sulfoxide ligand. Acidolysis of Λ-[Ru(bpy)2{(R)-LO-R}](PF6) and Δ-[Ru(bpy)2{(S)-LO-R}](PF6) complexes in the presence of TFA-MeCN afforded the chiral ligands (R)-HLO-R and (S)-HLO-R in 96-99% ee values, respectively. Importantly, the chiral ruthenium complexes can be recycled as Δ/Λ-[Ru(bpy)2(MeCN)2](PF6)2 and reused in a next reaction cycle with complete retention of the configurations at ruthenium centers.

PD-L1 is overexpressed on the surface of tumor cells and binds to PD-1, resulting in tumor immune escape. Therapeutic strategies to target the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway involve blocking the binding. Immune checkpoint inhibitors have limited efficacy against tumors because PD-L1 is also present in the cytoplasm. PD-L1 of post-translational modifications (PTMs) have uncovered numerous mechanisms contributing to carcinogenesis and have identified potential therapeutic targets. Therefore, small molecule inhibitors can block crucial carcinogenic signaling pathways, making them a potential therapeutic option. To better develop small molecule inhibitors, we have summarized the PTMs of PD-L1. This review discusses the regulatory mechanisms of small molecule inhibitors in carcinogenesis and explore their potential applications, proposing a novel approach for tumor immunotherapy based on PD-L1 PTM.

RESUMO
Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) has shown to be a promising photocatalyst that, however, suffers from strong charge recombination and poor conductivity, while MXenes have shown to be perfect cocatalysts for the photocatalytic process but show poor stability. In this study, we successfully constructed 2D/2D heterojunctions of Fe-C3N4/Ti3C2 for the photocatalytic degradation of antibiotics. In this study, multilayer Ti3C2 was obtained by etching Ti3AlC2, and then Fe-C3N4/Ti3C2 photocatalyst was prepared by the one-pot microwave method and high-temperature calcination method. The synthesized samples were characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM, XPS, TGA, BET, DRS, PL, and other means. The photocatalytic degradation of tetracycline hydrochloride by Fe-C3N4/Ti3C2 was in accordance with the first-order reaction kinetics model, and the apparent rate constant k was 2.83, 2.06, and 1.77 times that of g-C3N4, Fe-C3N4, and g-C3N4/Ti3C2, respectively. Through the mechanism study, it was shown that the most active species in the reaction system was ⢠O2 -, while h+ and â¢OH had a relatively lower effect on the degradation system.
RESUMO
Three bimetallic Ir(iii)-Pd(ii) complexes [Ir(ppy)2(bpm)PdCl2](PF6) (ppy = 2-phenylpyridine, 1), [Ir(dfppy)2(bpm)PdCl2](PF6) (dfppy = (4,6-difluorophenyl)pyridine, 2), and [Ir(pq)2(bpm)PdCl2](PF6) (pq = 2-phenylquinoline, 3) were synthesized by using 2,2'-bipyrimidine (bpm) as a bridging ligand. The influences of the cyclometalated ligand at the Ir(iii) center on the photophysical and electrochemical properties as well as photocatalytic activity for the Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reaction under mild conditions were evaluated. The results revealed that complex 3 enables dramatically accelerating the Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reaction under visible light irradiation at room temperature, due to the effective absorption of visible light and appropriate locus of the excited chromophore. Mechanism studies showed that the chromophore [Ir(pq)2(bpm)] fragment absorbs visible light to produce the triplet excited state centering on the bridging ligand which boosts the formation of electron rich Pd(ii) units and facilitates the oxidative addition step of the catalytic cycle. Simultaneously, the excited chromophore undergoes energy transfer efficiently to the Pd(ii) reaction site to form the excited Pd(ii) species, resulting in enhancement of Pd(ii) reduction steps of the Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reaction and increasing the reactivity of the catalyst. This provides a new strategy for designing photocatalysts for coupling reaction through altering the cyclometalated ligand to modulate the photophysical properties and the cooperation between two metal units.
RESUMO
The reaction of Δ/Λ-[Ru(bpy)2(py)2](2+) with a prochiral sulfide ligand, and then in situ oxidation, provide the corresponding Δ-[Ru(bpy)2{(R)-OSO-iPr}](+) and Λ-[Ru(bpy)2{(S)-OSO-iPr}](+) (OSO-iPr = 2-isopropylsulfonylbenzonate) enantiomers in a yield of 83% with 98% ee. The chiral sulfoxides were obtained by treatment of the sulfoxide complexes with TFA in a yield of 90% with 88-91% ee.
