Realizing full-color room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) under aqueous conditions remains a significant challenge due to the inherent difficulty of stabilizing hydrophobic phosphors within water-based matrices, let alone for unmodified commercial hydrophobic aromatic compounds. In this work, we introduce a versatile glassy hydrogel platform engineered through a solvent exchange-induced nanoscale phase separation strategy, which enables the stable encapsulation of various commercial aromatic compounds within a rigid polymer network. The resulting hydrogels exhibit tunable full-color RTP with long-lived lifetimes, enhanced emission underwater, and outstanding mechanical robustness. In addition to their plastic-like rigidity, these glassy RTP hydrogels display shape-memory characteristics and allow for programmable 2/3D structural reconfiguration. Notably, they facilitate multidimensional information encryption through multicolor triplet-to-singlet Förster resonance energy transfer (TS-FRET) and enable high-resolution spatial patterning. This work offers a general strategy for constructing RTP hydrogels and hydrogel-derived plastics, opening promising avenues for advanced anticounterfeiting, optical sensing, and underwater photonic applications.

Naomaohu lignite (NL) from Hami, Xinjiang, was ultrasonically extracted with a mixed solvent of CS and acetone (in equal volumes) to obtain the extract residue (ER). The ER was then separated based on density differences with CCl to yield the corresponding light residue (NL-L). The composition and structural characteristics of the light residue were characterized by proximate, ultimate, infrared, and thermogravimetric analyses (TG-DTG).

Molecular hybridization of isoniazid with hydrophobic aromatic moieties represents a promising strategy for the development of novel anti-tubercular therapeutics. In this study, a series of hybrid molecules (5a-i) was synthesized by linking isoniazid with aromatic sulfonate esters via a hydrazone bridge. Molecular docking studies revealed that these compounds interact effectively with the catalytic triad of the InhA enzyme (Y158, F149, and K165), suggesting their potential as InhA inhibitors.

In this paper, we present the NMR analysis of multivalent compounds displaying chondroitin sulfate E (CS-E) disaccharide ligands and their interaction with langerin. The disaccharides correspond to the two alternative sequences of CS-E: GlcA-GalNAc and GalNAc-GlcA. Firstly, we studied the conformation of the two corresponding series of glycodendrimers free in solution and in the presence of langerin.

An interesting ruthenium(III) complex, -[Ru(HL)Cl(PPh)], has been synthesized using a redox-active tetradentate bis-azo diamine ligand (HL). This complex represents the first example of a structurally robust, air- and moisture-stable coordination compound featuring a redox non-innocent ligand that provides a unique N4 donor set comprising both strong π-acidic (azo) and σ-donating (amido) groups. The complex has been comprehensively characterized by elemental analysis, various spectroscopic techniques, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD) studies.

The spoilage of bulgur, characterized by a distinctive off-odor, poses a significant challenge to the bulgur industry, resulting in an annual production loss of 10 %. The tempering process plays a critical role to prevent this problem. This study investigated spoilage under high-moisture tempering conditions (15-27 % moisture, 25, 35 and 45 °C, 0-12 h), focusing on off-odor formation, volatile compounds and microbial activity.
