Exploiting NF-κB transcription factor peptide conjugation, a Ru(II)-bis-tap complex (tap = 1,4,5,8-tetraazaphenanthrene) was targeted specifically to the nuclei of live HeLa and CHO cells for the first time. DNA binding of the complex within the nucleus of live cells was evident from gradual extinction of the metal complex luminescence after it had...

Circular bivalent aptamers (cb-apt) comprise an emerging class of chemically engineered aptamers with substantially improved stability and molecular recognition ability. Its therapeutic application, however, is challenged by the lack of functional modules to control the interactions of cb-apt with therapeutics. We present the design of a β-cyclodex...

We report a superconducting transition in a LaO epitaxial thin film with the superconducting transition onset temperature ( Tc) at around 5 K. This Tc is higher than those of other lanthanum monochalcogenides and opposite to their chemical trend: Tc = 0.84, 1.02, and 1.48 K for LaX (X = S, Se, Te), respectively. The carrier control resulted in a do...

Olefin isomerization is a significant transformation in organic synthesis, which provides a convenient synthetic route for internal olefins and remote functionalization processes. The selectivity of an olefin isomerization process is often thermodynamically controlled. Thus, to achieve selectivity under kinetic control is very challenging. Herein, ...

We report a novel strategy for creating abiotic Bacillus thuringiensis ( Bt) protein affinity ligands by biomimicry of the recognition process that takes place between Bt Cry1Ab/Ac proteins and insect receptor cadherin-like Bt-R1 proteins. Guided by this strategy, a library of synthetic polymer nanoparticles (NPs) was prepared and screened for bind...

We report herein the first example of interpenetration isomerism in covalent organic frameworks (COFs). As a well-known three-dimensional (3D) COF, COF-300 was synthesized and characterized by the Yaghi group in 2009 as a 5-fold interpenetrated diamond structure ( dia-c5 topology). We found that adding an aging process prior to the reported synthet...

The development of highly active and selective metal catalysts for efficient oxidation of hydrocarbons and identification of the reactive intermediates in the oxidation catalysis are long-standing challenges. In the rapid hydrocarbon oxidation catalyzed by ruthenium(IV) and -(III) porphyrins, the putative Ru(V)-oxo intermediates remain elusive. Her...

Amides are an important class of organic compounds, which have widespread industrial applications. Transamidation of amides is a convenient method to generate new amides from existing ones. Tertiary amides, however, are challenging substrates for transamidation. Here we describe an unconventional approach to the transamidation of tertiary amides us...

Perovskite ferroelectrics with prominent nonlinear optical absorption have attracted great attention in the field of photonics. However, they are traditionally dominated by inorganic oxides and exhibit relatively small nonlinear optical absorption coefficients, which hinder their further applications. Herein, we report a new organic-inorganic hybri...
