Dysprosium (Dy) ternary complex was prepared using 5-sulfosalicylic acid (SSA) as the first ligand and 1,10-phenanthroline (Phen) as the second ligand, denoted as Dy(SSA)3Phen. The complex was blended with tri-cellulose acetate (TCA) via a cosolvent method to obtain polymer luminescent materials. The composition and structure of the rare-earth complex were characterized by means of elemental analysis, infrared (IR) spectra, and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The fluorescence spectra displayed this pure Dy(SSA)3Phen complex, and the TCA/Dy(SSA)3Phen composites all emit blue light. The (90/10) composite possesses fine luminescent properties with quantum yield of 33.5% and thermal stability for potential usage as blue fluorescent materials.

ABSTRACTA synthetic route to highly luminescent organic semiconductors with curable alkoxysilyl groups is described. Monodisperse oligo(phenylenevinylene)s are rigidly connected to di- and triethoxysilanes via Heck reactions or via cross-metathesis. Hydrolysis of the silicic esters yields silanols condensing to linear and cyclic oligo-OPV-siloxanes or to three-dimensional networks, thus allowing the transformation of small molecules to fluorescent materials with well-defined chromophores. Transparent films are obtained by casting of soluble cyclosiloxanes and from OPV-silanetriols, the latter can be cured to insoluble networks.

Carbon fiber embedded carbon aerogel (CFECA) was fabricated through simple addition of small organic gelators to the precursor formed by furfural and resorcinol. The surface area of the obtained CFECA decreased compared to that from the precursor without small gelator, but the electrical conductivities of the CFECA increased obviously. The maximum conductivity of the CFECA can reach 2.55 × 105 S/m which is more than three times as that of the referenced common carbon aerogel. The formation of CFECA was characterized by SEM as well as TEM observation.

The spread of neurofibrillary tangles resulting from tau protein aggregation is a hallmark of Alzheimer’s and related neurodegenerative diseases. Early oligomerization of tau involves conformational reorganization into parallel b-sheet structures and supramolecular assembly into toxic fibrils. Despite the need for selective inhibitors of tau propagation, b-rich protein assemblies are inherently difficult to target with small molecules. Here, we describe a minimalist approach to mimic the aggregation-prone modules within tau. We carried out a backbone residue scan and show that amide N-amination completely abolishes the tendency of these peptides to self-aggregate, rendering them soluble mimics of ordered b-strands from the tau R2 and R3 domains. Several N-amino peptides (NAPs) inhibit disease-associated tau aggregation and prevent fibril formation <i>in vitro</i>. We further demonstrate that NAPs <b>12</b> and <b>13</b> are effective at blocking the cellular seeding of endogenous tau by interacting with both monomeric or fibrillar forms of extracellular tau. Peptidomimetic <b>12</b> is serum stable, non-toxic to neuronal cells, and selectivity inhibits the aggregation of tau over Ab<sub>­42</sub>. Structural analysis of our lead NAPs shows considerable conformational constraint imposed by the N-amino groups. The enhanced rigidity and full complement of sidechains thus enables NAPs to recognize tau fibrils. The described backbone N-amination approach provides a rational basis for the mimicry of other aggregation-prone peptides that drive pathogenic protein assembly.
