Synthesis of Fluorescent Gold Nanoclusters Directed by Bovine Serum Albumin and Application for Nitrite Detection

In the present work, gold nanocluster (GNC) induced by bovine serum albumin (BSA) was synthesized as a novel fluorescence probe to detect nitrite (NO₂ ^?) sensitively and selectively. The fluorescence of GNC was found to be quenched effectively by NO₂ ^?. Under the optimum conditions, it was found that the change of fluorescence intensity was proportional with the concentration of NO₂ ^? in the linear range of 0.1–50 μM (R?=?0.9990), with a detection limit (S/N?=?3) of 30 nM. The absorption spectroscopy, circular dichroism (CD), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) studies were employed to discuss the quenching mechanism. In addition, the present approach was successfully applied in real water samples.     

Exceptional Blueshifted and Enhanced Aggregation‐Induced Emission of Conjugated Asymmetric Triazines and Their Applications in Superamplified Detection of Explosives

A novel conjugated asymmetric donor–acceptor (CADA) strategy for preventing the redshift in photoluminescence, as well as preserving the merits of donor–acceptor architectures, was proposed and demonstrated for two triazine derivatives, which showed highly efficient, narrow, and blueshifted ultraviolet light emission in solid films along with special aggregation‐induced emission behavior. A mechanism of aggregation‐induced locally excited‐state emission by suppressing the twisted intramolecular charge‐transfer emission for the spectacular optoelectronic phenomena of these CADA molecules was suggested on the basis of both experimental measurements and theoretical calculations. By taking advantage of this special CADA architecture, fluorescent probes based on aggregates of conjugated asymmetric triazines in THF/water for the detection of explosives show superamplified detection of picric acid with high quenching constants (>1.0×10⁷ M ^?1) and a low detection limit of 15 ppb.
