This paper reports a series of novel Ni-based metal-organic framework (Ni-MOFs) prepared by a facile solvothermal process. The synthetic conditions have great effects on the Ni-MOFs morphologies, porous textures, and their electrochemical performance. Improved capacitance performance was successfully realized by the in-situ hybrid of Ni-MOFs with graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets (Ni-MOFs@GO). The pseudocapacitance of ca. 1457.7 F/g for Ni-MOFs obtained at 180 °C with HCl as the modulator was elevated to ca. 2192.4 F/g at a current density of 1 A/g for the Ni-MOFs@GO with GO contents of 3 wt %. Additionally, the capacitance retention was also promoted from ca. 83.5% to 85.1% of its original capacitance at 10 A/g even after 3000 cycles accordingly. These outstanding electrochemical properties of Ni-based MOF materials may be related to their inherent characteristics, such as the unique flower-like architecture and fascinating synergetic effect between the Ni-MOFs and the GO nanosheets.
Cross-coupling is a fundamental reaction in the synthesis of functional molecules, and has been widely applied, for example, to phenols, anilines, alcohols, amines and their derivatives. Here we report the Ni-catalysed Stille cross-coupling reaction of quaternary ammonium salts via C–N bond cleavage. Aryl/alkyl-trimethylammonium salts [Ar/R–NMe3]+ react smoothly with arylstannanes in 1:1 molar ratio in the presence of a catalytic amount of commercially available Ni(cod)2 and imidazole ligand together with 3.0 equivalents of CsF, affording the corresponding biaryl with broad functional group compatibility. The reaction pathway, including C–N bond cleavage step, is proposed based on the experimental and computational findings, as well as isolation and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis of Ni-containing intermediates. This reaction should be widely applicable for transformation of amines/quaternary ammonium salts into multi-aromatics.
Various aryl-, alkenyl-, and/or alkyllithium species reacted smoothly with aryl and/or benzyl ethers with cleavage of the inert C-O bond to afford cross-coupled products, catalyzed by commercially available [Ni(cod) ] (cod=1,5-cyclooctadiene) catalysts with N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands. Furthermore, the coupling reaction between the aryllithium compounds and aryl ammonium salts proceeded under mild conditions with C-N bond cleavage in the presence of a [Pd(PPh ) Cl ] catalyst. These methods enable selective sequential functionalizations of arenes having both C-N and C-O bonds in one pot.
Density functional theory calculations were performed to explore the mechanism of Ni-catalyzed crosscoupling reactions involving organo-lithium and -zinc reagents through ethereal C-O bond cleavage. Based on this work, together with our previous mechanistic study on etheric Kumada-Tamao reaction, we identify and characterize a novel catalytic cycle for cross-coupling mediated by Ni(0)-ate complex.Key words cross-coupling; ether; nickel catalyst; organolithium; organozinc; density functional theory (DFT) calculation Efficient and selective cleavage and transformation of C-O bonds, particularly by means of cross-coupling methods, has attracted great interest, since compounds containing C-O moieties occur widely in nature and are also extensively utilized in industry.1-8) Among C-O compounds, ethers are particularly attractive, [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] as they offer the advantages of 1) high atom economy/conversion efficiency (the use of ethers as simple as MeO as substrates affords fewer by-products compared with tosylate, mesylate, triflate, phosphate, etc.), 2) environmental compatibility (cleavage of the C-O moiety in ether releases non-halogen-containing waste), and 3) excellent stability, easy accessibility and wide diversity. However, ethereal C-O bonds ( E C-O) are very unreactive, and most of the well-established Pd-catalyzed C-O bond-cleaving protocols are ineffective for ethers.On the other hand, Ni-catalysts have proved effective for many types of C-O bond cleavage, including ethers. As early as in 1979, Wenkert et al. 9,10) reported the first Ni-catalyzed Kumada-Tamao type (Mg) 9-23) reaction, in which aryl methyl ether (ArOMe) acted as the electrophilic partner, and this is now recognized as the first example of Ni-catalyzed activation of an inert C-O bond. However, this breakthrough was overlooked for decades, until quite recently. After the development of improved conditions, ArOR can now be used as a coupling partner in several types of transition metal (TM)-catalyzed cross-couplings and related transformations, such as Suzuki-Miyaura-type (B), [24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31] Negishi-type (Zn or Al), [32][33][34][35][36] Murahashi-type (Li), [37][38][39][40] and other reactions. 41-50) As a continuation of our work in this area, we reported in 2012 the first ethereal Negishi-type coupling of aryl alkyl ether 36) (Chart 1(1)) and in 2016 we reported a systematic examination of ethereal Murahashi-type reaction 37) (Chart 1(2)). More recently, we also reported an in-depth study of Ni-catalyzed cross-coupling between organoaluminums and various types of C-O electrophiles, including aryl alkyl ether. 32) Results and DiscussionThe conventional catalytic cycle for cross-coupling reaction consists of three elemental steps: oxidative addition (OA), transmetalation, and reductive elimination. [51][52][53][54] Martin and colleagues reported that direct OA of a E C-O bond to Ni(0) requires high temperature, based on experimental and theoretical findings.46) Computational studies by Nakamura and colleagues, ...
Scattered Au 3D nanoparticles form distinct functional regions with an uncovered internal surface in confined channels, named the "Janus" annulus. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy responses to the variations in DNA self-assembly and hybridization in the channels decorated by the "Janus" annulus are presented. Single nucleotide mutations are further detected in a linear DNA chain, including terminal base polymorphisms.

It is very significant to explore the intrinsic differences in breast cancer subtypes. These intrinsic differences are closely related to clinical diagnosis and designation of treatment plans. With the accumulation of biological and medicine datasets, there are many different omics data that can be viewed in different aspects. Combining these multiple omics data can improve the accuracy of prediction. Meanwhile; there are also many different databases available for us to download different types of omics data. In this article, we use estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) to define breast cancer subtypes and classify any two breast cancer subtypes using SMO-MKL algorithm. We collected mRNA data, methylation data and copy number variation (CNV) data from TCGA to classify breast cancer subtypes. Multiple Kernel Learning (MKL) is employed to use these omics data distinctly. The result of using three omics data with multiple kernels is better than that of using single omics data with multiple kernels. Furthermore; these significant genes and pathways discovered in the feature selection process are also analyzed. In experiments; the proposed method outperforms other state-of-the-art methods and has abundant biological interpretations.
