Adenosine 5′-triphosphate (ATP) is a functional molecule associated with many important biological processes. Fluorescent detection methods for ATP with facile performance and high selectivity are in demand. One of the possible multi-membered arrays assembled between DHBO and Ga3+ ions was conducted in aqueous solution, which can selectively recognize ATP with fluorescence enhancement from ADP, AMP and other structurally similar nucleoside triphosphates in vitro and in vivo. ATP facilitates the interaction between DHBO and Ga3+ ions, resulting in the fluorescence increase. The detection limit for ATP was calculated to be 5.49×10−7 M, which is much lower than that of intracellular concentrations …

A Supramolecular Double-Cable Structure With A 12944 Helix In A Columnar Porphyrin-C60 Dyad And Its Application In Polymer Solar Cells, Xiong Gong Jul 2014

A Supramolecular Double-Cable Structure With A 12944 Helix In A Columnar Porphyrin-C60 Dyad And Its Application In Polymer Solar Cells, Xiong Gong

A novel porphyrin-C60 dyad (PCD1) is designed and synthesized to investigate and manipulate the supramolecular structure where geometrically isotropic [such as [60]fullerene (C60)] and anisotropic [such as porphyrin (Por)] units coexist. It is observed that PCD1 possesses an enantiomeric phase behavior. The melting temperature of the stable PCD1 thermotropic phase is 160 °C with a latent heat (ΔH) of 18.5 kJ mol−1. The phase formation is majorly driven by the cooperative intermolecular Por–Por and C60–C60 interactions. Structural analysis reveals that this stable phase possesses a supramolecular “double-cable” structure with one p-type Por core columnar channel and three helical n-type C60 …
