- To identify susceptibility genes for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), we conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) in 506 individuals with sporadic ALS and 1,859 controls of Han Chinese ancestry. Ninety top SNPs suggested by the current GWAS and 6 SNPs identified by previous GWAS were analyzed in an independent cohort of 706 individuals with ALS and 1,777 controls of Han Chinese ancestry. We discovered two new susceptibility loci for ALS at 1q32 (CAMK1G, rs6703183, P-combined = 2.92 x 10(-8), odds ratio (OR) = 1.31) and 22p11 (CABIN1 and SUSD2, rs8141797, P-combined = 2.35 x 10(-9), OR = 1.52). These two loci explain 12.48% of the overall variance in disease risk in the Han Chinese population. We found no association evidence for the previously reported loci in the Han Chinese population, suggesting genetic heterogeneity of disease susceptibility for ALS between ancestry groups. Our study identifies two new susceptibility loci and suggests new pathogenic mechanisms of ALS.

- With the purpose of developing readily synthesized CHEF (chelation-enhanced fluorescence) type Zn2+ probes with relatively simple molecular structures and excellent sensing behavior, p-anisoyl chloride was used for the acylation of 5-(pentafluorophenyl)dipyrromethane. Interestingly, the alpha,beta'-diacylated product PS2 with a unique substitution mode was obtained in high yield in addition to the normal a-substituted mono- and diacylated products PSI and PS3. Further oxidation of PS1-PS3 afforded dipyrrins S1-S3. Crystal structure and H-1 NMR measurements of S2 demonstrate the existence of a pure tautomer, which is consistent with DFT calculations. S1-S3 show highly Zn2+ selective "turn-on" fluorescence based on a CHEF mechanism by the formation of 2:1 (probe:metal) Zn2+ complexes. The emission colors can be easily tuned from green to red by changing the dipyrrin substitution modes. Furthermore, these probes demonstrate fast responses and wide applicable pH ranges. Among them, S2 shows the highest Zn2+ sensitivity, with a detection limit of 4.4 x 10(-8) M.

From nonconjugation to conjugation : novel meso-OH substituted dipyrromethanes as fluorescence turn-on Zn2+ probes

- Most reported Zn2+ probes suffer from the interference of background fluorescence originated from the conjugated structures of commonly utilized fluorophores. In this work, three novel meso-hydroxyl group substituted dipyrromethanes DPMOH1-DPMOH3 were synthesized and found to be colourless and nonfluorescent due to the interruption of the conjugated p system by an sp(3) carbon between the two pyrrolic units. Interestingly, only the addition of Zn2+ to the solutions of DPMOH1-DPMOH3 promoted their oxidation to dipyrrin forms, and bright fluorescence "turn on" was observed due to the formation of corresponding dipyrrin complexes with the dipyrrin : zinc stoichiometry of 2 :1. Zn2+ detection mechanism was investigated by UV-Vis, fluorescence, H-1 NMR and HRMS analyses, which can be ascribed to the CHEF type fluorescence enhancement, resulting from good rigidity of the dipyrrin complexes. Hence, DPMOH1-DPMOH3 can be used as fluorescence turn-on Zn2+ probes with the advantage of no background fluorescence.

- The acylation of 5-aryl dipyrromethanes afforded products with interestingly rich substitution modes, i.e.; α- and β-monoacylated (modes a and b), and α, α′-, α, β′- and β, β′-diacylated (modes c-e). Especially, the β- and β, β′-acylation modes are unprecedented. And most of these products can be synthesized at a gram scale. The anisoyl substituted 5-(4-cyanophenyl) dipyrromethanes (1a-1e) were oxidized with DDQ. Thus, 1a and 1b afforded the corresponding dipyrrins 1a-DPR, and 1b-DPR. More interestingly, the diacylated ones 1c-1e could not be oxidized by DDQ. Instead, 1c-OH-1e-OH were obtained with a hydroxyl group attached to the 5-position. 1a-DPR-1e-OH were further developed as fluorescence turn-on Zn2+ probes. 1d-OH showed the highest sensitivity, with a detection limit of 1.5 × 10-8 M, and it was successfully applied in Zn2+ imaging in Hela cells. Furthermore, single crystals of two Zn2+ complexes were obtained and analyzed by X-ray diffraction.

A novel trigeminal zinc porphyrin and corresponding porphyrin monomers for dye-sensitized solar cells

- A novel trigeminal zinc porphyrin sensitizer (T) and two zinc porphyrin monomers (M1 and M2) were successfully designed and synthesized. The spectral, electrochemical, and photovoltaic properties of the porphyrin dyes were investigated. Compared with M1, the molecule of M2 has an additional aliphatic n-hexyloxyl chain at the meso-position of the porphyrin framework, and such a structure is favorable for the formation of a compact hydrophobic layer at the TiO2 surface and the retardation of the diffusion of I-3(-) ions into the nanoporous TiO2 electrode, resulting in more effective suppression of the charge recombination process and a higher V-oc. Meanwhile, M2 has larger IPCE values than those of M1, leading to the higher J(sc) value. Thus, the DSSC devices based on M2 demonstrated a relatively high power conversion efficiency of 5.77%, with the J(sc), V-oc and ff values of 13.93 mA cm(-2), 732 mV, and 0.566, respectively. Even though dye T has the highest molar absorption coefficients and multiple binding moieties, the corresponding power conversion efficiency is 2.30%, which is lower than those for M1 and M2. These observations may be ascribed to the low efficiency of the electron injection process caused by the isolation of the LUMOs from the anchoring carboxyl groups in addition to the lowest adsorption amount.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Starting from two simple units of anthracene and 2,2'-dipyridylamine, a series of new luminescent compounds 1-8 were designed and synthesized by a combined strategy of changing the connection mode between the two units, extending the conjugation size, and introducing an additional electron donor. Photophysical properties of 1-8 were investigated and discussed on the basis of solvatochromic behaviour, theoretical calculations, crystal structure, and optimized structures. Interestingly, the emission wavelengths of these compounds could be successfully tuned from violet to red both in solutions and the solid-state, and prominent positive solvatochromism was observed for the compounds with a D-p-A framework. Consider compound 7 as an example, it shows peaks at 526 nm and 627 nm in cyclohexane and DMSO, respectively. Meanwhile, the quantum yield was decreased from 0.80 in cyclohexane to 0.12 in DMSO. The introduction of bulky groups was demonstrated to be effective for suppressing the aggregation effect and thus improving the solid state emission quantum yield. These results indicate that the combined structure modulation strategy offers a powerful tool for tuning the emission behaviour. To demonstrate the possibility of practical applications, 2 was employed as the emitting material for the fabrication of deep-blue organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), which showed a maximum external quantum efficiency of 2.2%. The CIE coordinates of (0.15, 0.08) are indicative of excellent blue color purity.

TICT based fluorescence "turn-on" hydrazine probes
- 2014

- Fluorescence "turn-on" probes PC3 and C3 with weak background emissions were developed for hydrazine sensing. The aldehyde and dicyanovinyl groups were used as the recognition units for PD and C3, respectively. Because of low reactivity of the aldehyde group, the fluorescence of PC3 was enhanced by only ca. 93 folds upon addition of a large amount of 1646 eq. hydrazine. In contrast, 0 exhibited fluorescence enhancement by ca. 239 folds upon addition of only 1.3 eq. hydrazine, and thus it showed high sensitivity towards hydrazine, with the detection limit of 7 ppb. In aqueous systems, it also works well with improved selectivity for hydrazine over CN-. The weak fluorescence of PC3 and 0 can be ascribed to twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) processes by the combination of the bulky diphenylamino and 9-anthryl units, which were well demonstrated by theoretical calculations, viscosity dependent fluorescence, and fluorescence decay behaviour. Addition of hydrazine induced the disappearance of the TICT deactivation pathway, resulting in the observed fluorescence enhancement. It can be concluded that the combination of the bulky diphenylamino and 9-anthryl units is an effective approach for developing fluorescence turn-on hydrazine probes based on the TICT mechanism.

- Compared with most of the reported logic devices based on the supramolecular approach, systems based on individual molecules can avoid challenging construction requirements. Herein, a novel dioxoporphyrin DPH22 was synthesized and two of its tautomers were characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies. Compound DPH22 exhibits multichannel controllable stepwise tautomerization, protonation, and deprotonation processes through interactions with H and F- ions. By using the addition of H+ and F- ions as inputs and UVNis absorption values at.1=412, 510, 562, and 603 nm as outputs, the controlled tautomerism of DPH22 has been successfully used for the construction of an integrated molecular level half-subtractor and comparator. In addition, this acid/base-switched tautomerism is reversible, thus endowing the system with ease of reset and recycling; consequently, there is no need to modulate complicated intermolecular interactions and electron-/chargetransfer processes.
