A multi-responsive luminescent sensor towards Fe_(3+) and acetone based on a Cd-containing metal–organic framework

A Cd-containing metal–organic framework(Cd L), formula as {[Cd_3(L)_2(H_2O)_6] 1.5DMF}, has been synthesized under solvothermal condition by the reaction of 4,40,400-(methylsilanetriyl)tribenzoic acid(H_3L) and Cd~(2+)ion. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction reveals that Cd L displays a three-dimensional framework with 2-fold interpenetration and DMF molecules locate in the void space of the channels. A topological analysis of the framework indicates Cd L is a 3,4-connected pto net. The photoluminescence properties of Cd L are systematically studied in detail. Impressively, Cd L shows excellent detection performance towards Fe~(3+)ion and acetone in the sensing experiments, which undoubtedly demonstrates the great potential of Cd Lasa highly selective multi-responsive luminescent sensor for the detection of organic solvents and metal ions.

Fluorescent Detection of 2,4‐DNT and 2,4,6‐TNT in Aqueous Media by Using Simple Water‐Soluble Pyrene Derivatives

Pyrene‐containing water‐soluble probes for the fluorescent detection of nitroaromatic compounds (NACs), such as explosive components (2,4‐DNT and 2,4,6‐TNT) and herbicides (2,4‐dinitrocresol, 2,4‐DNOC), in aqueous media are reported. In the probes, the introduction of surface‐active hydrophilic “heads” at the periphery of lipophilic (i.e., hydrophobic) pyrene “tails” resulted in the formation of highly fluorescent micelle‐like aggregates/pre‐associates in aqueous solutions at concentrations of ≤10^?5 m . The enhanced fluorescence quenching of the herein reported architectures is achieved in the presence of ultra‐trace amounts of TNT or 2,4‐DNT with values of Stern–Volmer quenching constant close to 1×10⁵ m ^?1 and a detection limit as low as 182 ppb. The most hydrophilic probes demonstrated higher response to 2,4‐DNT over TNT. Filter paper test strips impregnated with 1×10^?5 m solutions of the probes were able to detect TNT, 2,4‐DNT, and other NACs at levels as low as 50 ppb in water.

S,O-doped carbon nitride as a fluorescence probe for the label-free detection of folic acid and targeted cancer cell imaging

A novel nanoprobe based on S,O-doped carbon nitride quantum dots (S,O-CNQDs) was designed and synthesized. The as-prepared S,O-CNQDs exhibits good biocompatibility and strong fluorescence at excitation 360 nm. It is found that folic acid (FA) could efficiently quench the fluorescence of S,O-CNQDs. The obtained S,O-CNQDs is capable of acting as a sensitive and selective probe for FA detection in the range 5.0–83.3 μM with a detection limit of 90 nM. The as-prepared probe has been successfully utilized for the detection of FA in various real samples with satisfactory recoveries (98.8–107 %) and small relative standard deviation (<5%). The reaction mechanism between S,O-CNQDs and FA has been discussed. In addition, FA-S,O-CNQDs formed through a classical cross-linking reaction between FA and S,O-CNQDs easily accesses and penetrates into HepG2 cells with high folate receptors expression. FA-S,O-CNQDs with low cytotoxicity and good biocompatibility shows great potential in FA detection and targeted imaging of cancer cells.     

Changes in Light Energy Utilization in Photosystem II and Reactive Oxygen Species Generation in Potato Leaves by the Pinworm Tuta absoluta

We evaluated photosystem II (PSII) functionality in potato plants (Solanum tuberosum L.) before and after a 15 min feeding by the leaf miner Tuta absoluta using chlorophyll a fluorescence imaging analysis combined with reactive oxygen species (ROS) detection. Fifteen minutes after feeding, we observed at the feeding zone and at the whole leaf a decrease in the effective quantum yield of photosystem II (PSII) photochemistry (Φ_PSII). While at the feeding zone the quantum yield of regulated non-photochemical energy loss in PSII (Φ_NPQ) did not change, at the whole leaf level there was a significant increase. As a result, at the feeding zone a significant increase in the quantum yield of non-regulated energy loss in PSII (Φ_NO) occurred, but there was no change at the whole leaf level compared to that before feeding, indicating no change in singlet oxygen (¹O₂) formation. The decreased Φ_PSII after feeding was due to a decreased fraction of open reaction centers (q_p), since the efficiency of open PSII reaction centers to utilize the light energy (Fv′/Fm′) did not differ before and after feeding. The decreased fraction of open reaction centers resulted in increased excess excitation energy (EXC) at the feeding zone and at the whole leaf level, while hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) production was detected only at the feeding zone. Although the whole leaf PSII efficiency decreased compared to that before feeding, the maximum efficiency of PSII photochemistry (Fv/Fm), and the efficiency of the water-splitting complex on the donor side of PSII (Fv/Fo), did not differ to that before feeding, thus they cannot be considered as sensitive parameters to monitor biotic stress effects. Chlorophyll fluorescence imaging analysis proved to be a good indicator to monitor even short-term impacts of insect herbivory on photosynthetic function, and among the studied parameters, the reduction status of the plastoquinone pool (q_p) was the most sensitive and suitable indicator to probe photosynthetic function under biotic stress.

Quenching Behavior of the Electrochemiluminescence of Ru(bpy)32+/TPrA System by Phenols on a Smartphone-Based Sensor

Phenolic compounds such as vanillic and p-coumaric acids are pollutants of major concern in the agro-industrial processing, thereby their effective detection in the industrial environment is essential to reduce exposure. Herein, we present the quenching effect of these compounds on the electrochemiluminescence (ECL) of the Ru(bpy)₃²⁺/TPrA (TPrA=tri-n-propylamine) system at a disposable screen-printed carbon electrode. Transient ECL profiles are obtained from multiple video frames following 1.2 V application by a smartphone-based ECL sensor. A wide range of detection was achieved using the sensor with limit of detection of 0.26 μM and 0.68 μM for vanillic and p-coumaric acids, respectively. The estimated quenching constants determined that the quenching efficiency of vanillic acid is at least two-fold that of p-coumaric acid under the current detection conditions. The present ECL quenching approach provided an effective method to detect phenolic compounds using a low-cost, portable smartphone-based ECL sensor.
