Particle shape is a critical parameter that plays an important role in self-assembly, for example, in designing targeted complex structures with desired properties. Over the last decades, an unprecedented range of monodisperse nanoparticle systems with control over the shape of

A new kind of organic-inorganic hybrid complexes based on polyoxometalate were synthesized through symmetrically grafting two adeninyl groups onto Anderson-type MnMo(6) clusters and encapsulating the clusters by organic surfactants. The resultant complexes exhibited thermal-induced dynamic self-assembly behaviors which greatly depended
Understanding how ion channels open and close their pores is crucial for comprehending their physiological roles. We used intracellular quaternary ammonium blockers, electrophysiology and X-ray crystallography to locate the voltage-dependent gate in MthK potassium channels from Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum. Blockers bind
A simple monomeric tungstate, TBA(2)[WO(4)] (I, TBA = tetra-n-butylammonium), could act as an efficient homogeneous catalyst for chemical fixation of CO(2) with 2-aminobenzonitriles to quinazoline-2,4(1H,3H)-diones. Various kinds of structurally diverse 2-aminobenzonitriles could be converted into the corresponding quinazoline-2,4(1H,3H)-diones in high

The complex cis-[Ru(phpy)(phen)(CH3CN)2](+) (phpy=2-phenylpyridine, phen=1,10-phenanthroline) was investigated as a potential photodynamic therapy (PDT) agent. This complex presents desirable photochemical characteristics including a low energy absorption tail extending into the PDT window (600-850nm) and photoinduced exchange of the CH3CN ligands, generating
