Planar AIEgens with Enhanced Solid-State Luminescence and ROS Generation for Multidrug-Resistant Bacteria Treatment

Planar luminogens have encountered difficulties in overcoming intrinsic aggregation-caused emission quenching by intermolecular π-π stacking interactions. Although excited-state double-bond reorganization (ESDBR) can guide us on designing planar aggregation-induced emission (AIE) luminogens (AIEgens), its mechanism has yet been elucidated. Major challenges in the field include methods to efficiently restrict ESDBR and enhance AIE performance without using bulky substituents (e.g., tetraphenylethylene and triphenylamine). In this study, we rationally developed fluoro-substituent AIEgens with stronger intermolecular H-bonding interaction for restricted molecular motions and increased crystal density, leading to decreased nonradiative decay rate by one order of magnitude. The adjusted ESDBR properties also show a corresponding response to variation in viscosity. Furthermore, their aggregation-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) generations have been discovered. The application of such planar AIEgen in treating multidrug-resistant bacteria has been demonstrated in a mouse model. The relationship between ROS generation and distinct E/Z-configurational stacking behaviors have been further understood, providing a design principle for synthesizing planar AIEgen-based photosensitizers.     

Probing water interactions and vacancy production on gadolinia-doped ceria surfaces using electron stimulated desorption

Polycrystalline gadolinia-doped ceria (GDC) surfaces were studied using low-energy (5-400 eV) electron stimulated desorption (ESD). H(+), O(+), and H(3)O(+) were the primary cationic desorption products with H(+) as the dominant channel. H(+), H(3)O(+), and O(+) have a 22 eV threshold followed by a yield change around 40 eV. H(+) also has an additional yield change approximately 75 eV and O(+) has an additional change approximately 150 eV. The O(+) ESD yield change approximately 150 eV may indicate bond breaking of Gd-O and the involvement of oxygen vacancies. The H(+) and H(3)O(+) threshold data collectively indicate the presence of hydroxyl groups and chemisorbed water molecules on the GDC surfaces. ESD temperature dependence measurements show that the interaction of water with GDC surface defect sites, mainly oxygen vacancies, influences the desorption of H(+), O(+), and H(3)O(+). The temperature dependence of the O(+) ESD at 400 eV incident electron energy yields a 0.21 eV activation energy. This is close to the energy needed for oxygen vacancy production next to a pair of Ce(3+) on a CeO(2) surface. These results may indicate a correlation between the O(+) ESD yield and oxygen vacancy density on GDC surfaces and a potential correlation of O(+) ESD and GDC ionic conductivity.

以β-二酮连接的含生色团丙烯酰类单体及其饱和模型化合物的荧光行为

通过合成一系列同一分子中既含有给电子性荧光生色团又含缺电子性碳碳双键的烯类单体, 发现这类单体在相同生色团浓度下的荧光强度均明显低于相应的饱和模型化合物或聚合物[1～3]. 这种现象称为荧光结构自猝灭效应(SSQE), 以区别于浓度自猝灭现象. 对于电子状态与之相反的单体, 即含受电子性荧光生色团的乙烯基醚类单体, 也观察到了SSQE[4,5]. 进一步的研究结果表明, SSQE是光照条件下分子内电子给受体之间电荷转移作用的结果, 分子中电子给受体间的间隔基长度和溶剂的性质等都对SSQE有显著的影响[6]. 以往合成的含给生色团的丙烯酰类单体, 其电子给受体间是通过饱和脂肪链相连, 当生色团和受电子性碳碳双键之间以β-二酮结构相连时, 这类单体的荧光性质如何, 是否发生SSQE是我们的关注所在. 另一方面, β-二酮类化合物在一定波长光照射条件下, 常发生烯醇式与酮式的互变异构化. 虽然已有许多文献报道有关烯醇式-酮式互变异构过程中各种光谱的变化以及用核磁、红外、紫外等光谱手段研究烯醇式-酮式互变异构动力学, 但有关β-二酮类化合物互变异构过程中荧光光谱的变化的报道却很少[7～11]. 本文合成了以β-二酮连接的含二甲氨基苯基生色团的烯类单体, 1-(4-二甲氨基苯基)-4-甲基-4-戊烯-1,3-二酮(DMPDK)及其饱和模型化合物1-(4-二甲氨基苯基)-1,3-丁二酮(DMBDK), 研究了其光谱性质及光致互变异构行为.     

Spectrophotometric determination of silver with cadion 2B and triton X-100

A highly sensitive and selective procedure for spectrophotometric determination of silver has been developed. At pH 9.2, in the presence of Triton X-100, silver forms a dark red-violet complex with cadion 2B which has an absorption maximum at 565 nm. The molar absorptivity is 1.0 x 10(5) l.mole(-1).cm(-1). Beer's law is obeyed for silver in the range 0.02-0.8 mug ml . The colour reaction, if EDTA is used as a masking agent, is free from interference by the 20 cations and 19 anions investigated. Only Cl(-), Br(-), I(-), S(2-) and CN(-) interfere and must be absent. This method has been used to determine silver in waste-water.
