- A new series of hybrid dyes, trans-4-(4′-N,N-dialkylaminostyryl)-N-methyl pyridinium [Cd(SCN)3−]n [alkyl = Me(1), Et(2), Pr(3) and n–Bu(4)] have been successfully synthesized from hybrids of inorganic polymers and organic chromophores. The structures of four new hybrid dyes were characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction first. The particular features of the hybrid dyes are (1) the inorganic anions form isolated polymeric one-dimensional zig-zag chains of [Cd(SCN)3−]n with an extended π-conjugation system within the polymeric –[M–S–C≡N]–M… chain and high polarizabilities; and (2) the organic cationic chromophores determine their optical properties. Experimental results revealed that the TPA cross-section values and overall energy conversion efficiencies of hybrid dyes with different alkyl pendant groups have obviously increased from 1 to 4, and in particular, have been substantially enhanced compared to their corresponding iodide analogues 1′–4′. Therefore, we speculate that such increases are attributable to arrangements of infinite anionic [Cd(SCN)3−]n chains and synergic effects with chromophore cations.

- The title complex, {[N(CH3)4]2[Cd(SCN)2S]}n, was prepared by self-assembling from the reaction of a methanol/water (volume ratio, 1/1) solution containing cadmium(II) thiocyanate with equivalent amount of tetramethylammonium thiocyanate. The result of single X-ray determination for the complex reveals that a novel polymeric cadmium(II) complex bridged by sulfur and thiocyanato ions was obtained, which formed a two-dimensional (2D) structure.

- Owing to lack of data from multiple air quality monitoring stations, studies about spatial association between concentrations of ambient pollutants and mortality in China are rare. To investigate the spatial variation of association between concentrations of particulate matter less than 10 mu m in aerodynamic diameter (PM10), nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and carbon monoxide (CO) and cardiovascular mortality in Beijing, China, we collected data including daily deaths, concentrations of PM10, NO2 and CO, and meteorological factors from 1 January 2009 to 31 December 2010 in all 16 districts of Beijing. Generalized additive model (GAM) and generalized additive mixed model (GAMM) were used to examine the citywide and district-specific effects of PM10, NO2 and CO on cardiovascular mortality. The citywide effect derived from GAMM was lower than that derived from GAM, and the strongest effects were identified for 2-day moving average lag 0-1. The interquartile increases in concentrations of PM10, NO2 and CO were associated with 2.46 (95% confidence interval (CI), 1.22-3.72), 4.11 (95% CI, 2.82-5.42) and 2.23 (95% CI, 1.14-3.33) percentage increases in daily cardiovascular mortality by GAMM, respectively. The relative risk of each district compared with reference district was generally statistically significant. The death risk associated with air pollutants varies across different geographic districts in Beijing. The data indicate that the risk is high in suburban areas and rural counties. We found significant and spatially varied adverse effects of air pollution on cardiovascular deaths across the rural and urban areas in Beijing.

- Small, biocompatible and water-soluble molecules with high two-photon absorption (2PA) cross-section values (delta) are in high demand for specific bioimaging applications. Here, two novel terpyridine derivative ligands with donor-acceptor (D-A) (L1) and donor-pi-acceptor (D-pi-A) (L2) models, and their corresponding Zn(II) complexes are designed and characterized. It was found that the two-photon absorption cross section values (d) in the near-infrared region (NIR, about 800 nm) are significantly enhanced for complexes 1 and 2 compared to their free D-A type ligand L1, while those of complexes 3 and 4 were greatly decreased relative to their free ligand L2, thus confirming that the smaller ligand (D-A type) displays a suitable Turn-ON fluorescence pair for two-photon fluorescence microscopy (2PFM). Firstly, the potential of simultaneously labeling a live cell plasma membrane and nucleus using complex 1 is demonstrated. In addition, live larval and adult zebrafish incubated with an optimal concentration of 1 demonstrated clear brain uptake. Lastly and importantly, using such a probe to visualize the blood-brain- barrier (BBB) capillary endothelial cells and penetrate the BBB into the central nervous system (CNS) intravenously in a mouse model is also explored.

- The syntheses, crystal structures, magnetic and photoluminescence properties of a series of dinuclear and mononuclear copper(II) and copper(I)N-carbazolylacetate [N-carbazolylacetic acid=Hcabo] with different carboxylato coordination modes are reported. Although the carboxylato group has different coordination modes, the same carboxylate ligand binding to copper ion via four coordinating modes is rare. The crystal structure of complex [Cu2(Cabo)4(dmf)2]·2dmf (1) consists of a symmetrical dimeric Cu(II) carboxylato paddle-wheel core and oxygen atoms from dmf at the apical positions. The dinuclear complex [Cu2(Cabo)3(phen)2]ClO4·H2O·C2H5OH (2) (phen=1,10-phenanthroline) consists of an unusual dimeric core with two copper atoms bridged by three carboxylates one of which is in the η∶η∶μ2 bridging mode and the other two are in the rarer monoatomic bridging mode. To our knowledge, the present bridging mode has not been reported hitherto. Magnetic susceptibilities were measured in the temperature range 2–300 K. It is found that paddle-wheel copper(II) ions in 1 are strongly coupled antiferromagnetically with 2J=−356.4(6) cm−1, whereas complex 2 shows weak antiferromagnetic interaction with a 2J value of −12.8(4) cm−1. Copper(I)N-carbazolylacetate with strong fluorescence in the solid state as well as high thermal stability was obtained by reduction of the copper(II)N-carbazolylacetate using PPh3(triphenylphosphine) in dmf solution.

- Two novel two-photon polymerization initiators, 10-ethyl-3-E-(4-(N,N′-di-n-butylamino)styryl)phenothiazine 5 and 10-ethyl-3,7-E,E-bis(4-(N,N′-di-n-butyl amino)styryl)phenothiazine 6, have been efficiently synthesized with room temperature solid phase Wittig reaction. Two initiators were found to exhibit good single-photon fluorescence emission and their quantum yields, lifetimes and solvent effects have been studied in detail. Two-photon fluorescence spectra were investigated under 800 nm fs laser pulse and two-photon absorption (TPA) cross-sections of the initiators have been evaluated by theoretical calculation.Two-photon initiating polymerization microfabrication experiments have been carried out and artificial defects were made and polymerization mechanism was also discussed.

- Fluorescent imaging of cysteine (Cys) and homocysteine (Hcy) is crucial to understand sulphur metabolism in living cells. Whereas two-photon active cyclometalated Ir(III) complex for detecting Cys/Hcy has been rarely reported. Herein, two novel cyclometalated iridium (III) complexes Ir1-1r2 with different electron-donor were designed, synthesized and fully characterized as well as confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, which could selectively react with Cys/Hcy, accompanying with an obvious one- and two-photon fluorescence enhancement in vitro. The mechanism for sensing Cys/Hcy was further analyzed in detail by mass spectra and time-dependent density functional theory calculations. It was found that Ir2, bearing ester group, exhibited higher performance on the selective detection of Cys and Hcy compared to In. Notably, the two-photon action cross-section value in the near-infrared region (similar to 800 nm) of Ir2 is significantly enhanced upon the addition of Cys/Hcy. Further application to cellular imaging indicated that Ir2 is membrane permeable and capable of monitoring the changes of intracellular mitochondrial Cys/Hcy. These results support that such two-photon active complexes might provide a promising platform for the detection of mitochondrial Cys/Hcy in living biological systems.

- It is still a challenge that organotin(IV) carboxylate complexes with high-performance two-photon activity for cancer therapy. At present work, two novel organotin carboxylate complexes LSn1 and LSn2, containing coumarin moiety, were rationally designed for two-photon fluorescent imaging and anticancer purpose. The complexes possessed large two-photon action cross-sections and high quantum yields. Living cells evaluation revealed that complexes LSn1 and LSn2 exhibited good biocompatibility and deep tissue penetration over femtosecond laser with wavelength of 840 nm. Furthermore, the antitumor active and as well as possible mechanism of complexes LSn1 and LSn2 have been investigated systematically. The results indicated that complexes LSn1 and LSn2 could induce apoptotic cell death through a mitochondria] dysfunction and ROS elevation pathway. The present work provides a strategy for rationally designing organotin(IV) carboxylate complexes with two-photon activity and antitumor activity.

- The nickel(Ⅱ) complex with the new ligand of S-benzyl-β-N-[10-ethylphenothiazine-3-methylene]dithiocarbazate(HL) crystallizes in the triclinic system, space group P1-with a = 7.516(1), b = 11.322(1), c = 13.366(1) (A),α= 84.818(1),β= 81.688(1), y= 76.037(1)°, V= 1090.26(3) (A)3, Z = 1, Dc=1.413 g/cm3, F(000) = 482,μ(MoKα)= 0.774 mm-1 (λ= 0.7103(A)),R = 0.0573 and wR =0.1375 for 3357 observed reflections withⅠ≥ 2σ(Ⅰ). The HL has lost a proton from its tautomeric thiol form and acts as a single negatively charged bidentate ligand coordinating to the nickel ion via the mercapto sulfur and β-nitrogen atoms. The geometry around Ni(Ⅱ) is almost square-planar with two equivalent Ni-N and Ni-S bonds. The nonlinear absorption of HL and NiL2 solutions (in DMF) was measured by open-aperture Z-scan technique at the wavelength of 532 nm.

- A new Schiff base ligand derived from S-benzyldithiocarbazate and 4-[N-hydroxy ethyl-N-(methyl)amino]benzaldehyde (HL, where H is a dissociable proton) and its NiII, CuII, ZnII and PdII complexes were prepared and fully characterized. The structures of HL and Ni(L)2 were determined by X-ray diffraction analysis, which revealed that the geometry of the NiII ion is square-planar with two equivalent Ni=N and Ni=S bonds, and that the two neighboring molecules in two layers have weak contact. The electronic spectra and solution fluorescence of the ligand and the complexes were studied, and the quantum yields of single-photon fluorescence for the compounds were determined. The compounds possess two-photon absorption (t.p.a.) character and the t.p.a. coefficient β and t.p.a. cross-section σ were determined by the Z-scan technique. Especially, the Zn(L)2complex and the HL ligand exhibit intensive two-photon fluorescence (t.p.f.) at 800 nm laser pulses in the femtosecond regime.
