Flexible Alkylene Bridges as a Tool To Engineer Crystal Distyrylbenzene Structures Enabling Highly Fluorescent Monomeric Emission

To design ultrabright fluorescent solid dyes, a crystal engineering strategy that enables monomeric emission by blocking intermolecular electronic interactions is required. We introduced propylene moieties to distyrylbenzene (DSB) as bridges between the phenyl rings either side of its C=C bonds. The bridged DSB derivatives formed compact crystals that emit colors similar to those of the same molecules in dilute solution, with high quantum yields. The introduction of flexible seven-membered rings to the DSB core produced moderate distortion and steric hindrance in the DSB π-plane. However, owing to this strategy, it was possible to control the molecular arrangement with almost no decrease in the crystal density, and intermolecular electronic interactions were suppressed. The bridged DSB crystal structure differs from other DSB derivative structures; thus, bridging affords access to novel crystalline systems. This design strategy has important implications in many fields and is more effective than the conventional photofunctional molecular crystal design strategies.

The Rapid Non-Destructive Detection of Adulteration and Its Degree of Tieguanyin by Fluorescence Hyperspectral Technology

Tieguanyin is one of the top ten most popular teas and the representative of oolong tea in China. In this study, a rapid and non-destructive method is developed to detect adulterated tea and its degree. Benshan is used as the adulterated tea, which is about 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, and 50% of the total weight of tea samples, mixed with Tieguanyin. Taking the fluorescence spectra from 475 to 1000 nm, we then established the 2-and 6-class discriminant models. The 2-class discriminant models had the best evaluation index when using SG-CARS-SVM, which can reach a 100.00% overall accuracy, 100.00% specificity, 100% sensitivity, and the least time was 1.2088 s, which can accurately identify pure and adulterated tea; among the 6-class discriminant models (0% (pure Tieguanyin), 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50%), with the increasing difficulty of adulteration, SNV-RF-SVM had the best evaluation index, the highest overall accuracy reached 94.27%, and the least time was 0.00698 s. In general, the results indicated that the two classification methods explored in this study can obtain the best effects. The fluorescence hyperspectral technology has a broad scope and feasibility in the non-destructive detection of adulterated tea and other fields.     

High-Affinity Ratiometric Fluorescence Probe Based on 6-Amino-2,2′-Bipyridine Scaffold for Endogenous Zn2+ and Its Application to Living Cells

Zinc is an essential trace element involved in many biological activities; however, its functions are not fully understood. To elucidate the role of endogenous labile Zn²⁺, we developed a novel ratiometric fluorescence probe, 5-(4-methoxyphenyl)-4-(methylsulfanyl)-[2,2′-bipyridin]-6-amine (6 (rBpyZ)) based on the 6-amino-2,2′-bipyridine scaffold, which acts as both the chelating agent for Zn²⁺ and the fluorescent moiety. The methoxy group acted as an electron donor, enabling the intramolecular charge transfer state of 6 (rBpyZ), and a ratiometric fluorescence response consisting of a decrease at the emission wavelength of 438 nm and a corresponding increase at the emission wavelength of 465 nm was observed. The ratiometric probe 6 (rBpyZ) exhibited a nanomolar-level dissociation constant (K_d = 0.77 nM), a large Stokes shift (139 nm), and an excellent detection limit (0.10 nM) under physiological conditions. Moreover, fluorescence imaging using A549 human lung adenocarcinoma cells revealed that 6 (rBpyZ) had good cell membrane permeability and could clearly visualize endogenous labile Zn²⁺. These results suggest that the ratiometric fluorescence probe 6 (rBpyZ) has considerable potential as a valuable tool for understanding the role of Zn²⁺ in living systems.     

应用高光谱仪探测叶片反射光谱中的荧光

介绍了一种利用光谱仪进行荧光测量的方法。采用LI 1800_12S积分球,耦合ASD地物光谱仪,在光源前面分别加载长波通、短波通截止滤光片,按照不同算法提取叶片表观反射光谱中的荧光。结果表明利用长波通滤光片测得的表观反射率差值光谱可以代表荧光光谱,在红光区和远红光区表现为明显的双峰特征,不同截止波长滤光片提取的荧光强度不同。采用短波通滤光片可直接获得荧光光谱,不同植物种类荧光光谱差异明显。此法对于植物被动荧光遥感探测及叶绿素荧光仪的研制和开发具有一定参考价值。     

半色调荧光图像的光谱反射与透射模型

荧光油墨半色调印刷品的显色预测规律是彩色成像领域内十分关键的课题。把荧光半色调印刷品反射出来的光分成两个独立的部分,即由最初入射光组成的主光流和由于吸收了主光流而产生的荧光流;并且采用了一个指数矩阵来描述墨层产生的荧光光强,从而得出了荧光半色调图像色彩的光反射规律。考虑到入射光中从一种颜色油墨入射后再由同色油墨出射的概率要比从其它色油墨出射的概率要大的事实,讨论中引入权重因子描述从同色油墨出射部分与从整个表面出射部分比例不同的现象,建立了荧光油墨半色调图像的Clapper-Yule新光谱反射率模型。

侧链基团对聚合物薄膜瞬态发光性能的影响

采用飞秒激光光谱技术比较研究了两种卟啉侧链聚合物:卟啉丙烯酸酯-苯乙烯共聚物P[(por)A-S]和卟啉铁(Ⅲ)丙烯酸酯-苯乙烯共聚物P[(por)FeA-S]的瞬态发光性能。并采用纳秒激光光谱技术测量了小分子卟啉(TPP)的荧光动力学过程。结果表明:P[(por)FeA-S]具有比P[(por)A-S]快得多的荧光弛豫过程,而P[(por)A-S]的荧光寿命远小于小分子卟啉的荧光寿命。对上述过程进行了分析,P[(por)A-S]的荧光衰变主要来源于聚合物分子链间的相互作用;而P[(por)FeA-S]的荧光衰变除了来源于聚合物分子链间的相互作用外,中央金属离子与配位体之间的电荷转移也对卟啉发色基团的激发态超快无辐射弛豫具有重要的影响,对上述过程的产生机理进行了讨论。     

Optimization of Biocompatibility for a Hydrophilic Biological Molecule Encapsulation System

Despite considerable advances in recent years, challenges in delivery and storage of biological drugs persist and may delay or prohibit their clinical application. Though nanoparticle-based approaches for small molecule drug encapsulation are mature, encapsulation of proteins remains problematic due to destabilization of the protein. Reverse micelles composed of decylmonoacyl glycerol (10MAG) and lauryldimethylamino-N-oxide (LDAO) in low-viscosity alkanes have been shown to preserve the structure and stability of a wide range of biological macromolecules. Here, we present a first step on developing this system as a future platform for storage and delivery of biological drugs by replacing the non-biocompatible alkane solvent with solvents currently used in small molecule delivery systems. Using a novel screening approach, we performed a comprehensive evaluation of the 10MAG/LDAO system using two preparation methods across seven biocompatible solvents with analysis of toxicity and encapsulation efficiency for each solvent. By using an inexpensive hydrophilic small molecule to test a wide range of conditions, we identify optimal solvent properties for further development. We validate the predictions from this screen with preliminary protein encapsulation tests. The insight provided lays the foundation for further development of this system toward long-term room-temperature storage of biologics or toward water-in-oil-in-water biologic delivery systems.
