Cucurbit[]uril Supramolecular Assemblies-Regulated Charge Transfer for Luminescence Switching of Gold Nanoclusters.

Host-guest molecular assemblies are highly desirable for precisely controlling the luminescence properties of nanomaterials. Unfortunately, the design of high-quality luminescent nanoswitches is still very challenging due to the low affinity of traditional macrocyclic molecules (e.g.

[Synthesis and application of a surface molecularly imprinted adsorbent for di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate base on graphite oxide].

A molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) base on the surface of graphite oxide (GO) has been developed for the selective recognition of di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP), and applied for the extraction of DEHP in a milk bag sample, with detection by high-performance liquid chromatography. The surface-molecularly imprinted material was prepared by precipitation polymerization in -dimethylformamide (DMF) solvent, using GO as the supporting material, DEHP as the template molecule, and methacrylic acid (MAA) as the functional monomer; the synthesis conditions were also optimized. The obtained GO-MAA-MIP was characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy (TEM).

A Fluorescence Inner-Filter Effect Based Sensing Platform for Turn-On Detection of Glutathione in Human Serum.

A novel turn-on fluorescence assay was developed for the rapid detection of glutathione (GSH) based on the inner-filter effect (IFE) and redox reaction. Molybdenum disulfide quantum dots (MoS₂ QDs), which have stable fluorescent properties, were synthesized with hydrothermal method. Manganese dioxide nanosheets (MnO₂ NSs) were prepared by exfoliating the bulk δ-MnO₂ material in bovine serum albumin (BSA) aqueous solution.
