Nowadays, aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) of organic molecules in aqueous media seriously restricts their analytical and biomedical applications. In this work, hydrogen bond (H-bond) was utilized to resist the ACQ effect of 2,5,8-triamino-1,3,4,6,7,9,9b-heptaazaphenalene (Melem) as an advanced electrochemiluminescence (ECL) luminophore, whose ECL process was carefully studied in an aqueous KSO system coupled with electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) measurements. Notably, the H-bond-induced Melem assemblies (Melem-H) showed 16.

Herein, a novel ECL emitter was obtained by coordinating crystalline covalent triazinyl frameworks (cCTFs) with Ru (termed Ru-cCTFs), which exhibited strong ECL emission by the ligand to metal charge transfer (LMCT) route. After its integration with 4-mercaptopyridine (SH-Py), the resultant SH-Py-Ru-cCTFs achieved 2.

In this work, photodynamic-assisted electrochemiluminescence (PDECL) device was constructed for precision diagnosis of Parkinson, where an advanced emitter was prepared by electrostatically linking 2,6-dimethyl-8-(3-carboxyphenyl)4,4'-difluoroboradiazene (BET) with 1-butyl-3-methylimidazole tetrafluoroborate ([BMIm][BF]). Specifically, protoporphyrin IX (PPIX) can trigger the photodynamic reaction under light irradiation with a wavelength of 450 nm to generate lots of singlet oxygen (O), showing a 2.

Single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that two Mn(2+) cations and two [Sn(CH2CH2COO)](2+) groups are located in the internal and external positions in the so-called equatorial region of SnR-Mn-P2W15, respectively. Intriguingly, two exposed carboxyl groups act as stretching-arm brackets, which provide a favorable structure for potential further functionalization.
