Phosphorous-doped graphene can form a covalent dative bond with the electron acceptor, C60 molecule. On the other hand, C60 on graphene and N-doped graphene surfaces can only form vdW complexes....
A novel FRET-based dendritic hybridization chain reaction (D-HCR) for TK1 mRNA imaging was developed in living cells. Compared to the traditional complex D-HCR methods, it has the following advantages, including...
We have synthesised a new aromatic foldamer based on the carbazole–pyridine oligomers that adopt helical conformations via dipole-dipole interactions and π-stacking between two ethynyl bond-linked monomers. This foldamer scaffold has...
Using molecular self-assembly, supramolecular chemists can create Gigadalton-structures with angstrom precision held together by non-covalent interactions. However, despite relying on the same molecular toolbox for self-assembly, these synthetic structures lack...
A cysteine specific fluorescent probe with wide detectable concentration range was used to monitor cysteine changes in HeLa cells under stress and demarcate the boundary of xenograft tumour.
This report describes the incorporation of BODIPY dyes into the ligand framework of a borane to generate a family of molecular boranes that are capable of exhibiting tunable Lewis acidities through BODIPY-based redox events.
A Ni/(S,S)-BDPP-catalyzed intramolecular Heck cyclization of N-(2-iodo-aryl) acrylamide with 2-methyl-2-phenylmalononitrile was developed to give oxindoles with good enantioselectivity. We found that utilizing such electrophilic cyanation reagent could tackle the deleterious...
Combinational photoimmunotherapy (PIT) is considered to be an ideal strategy for treatment of highly recurrent and metastatic cancer, because it can ablate the primary tumor and provide in situ autologous...
We report a new osmium(VI) nitrido complex bearing a nonplanar tetradentate ligand with potent anticancer activity. It causes mitochondrial damage, which induces liver cancer cell death via oncosis and apoptosis....
Both sequence enrichment and base resolution is essential for accurate sequencing analysis of low-abundance RNA. Yet it is hindered by the lack of molecular tools. Here we report a bifunctional...
