By coupling two equivalents of N,N-diethyldithiocarbamoylmethylbenzoic acid succinimidyl ester with cystamine dihydrochloride, a disulfide-carrying compound (Cys-BDC) was prepared and used as iniferter (a compound which pursues initiation, chain transfer, and termination) in the telomerization of N,N-dimethylacrylamide and 3-acrylamidophenylboronic acid. The telomerization was carried out in the presence of N,N,N',N'-tetraethylthiuram disulfide under photoirradiation at 365 nm. An aqueous solution of the telomer obtained showed responsiveness to both temperature and sugars as confirmed by the turbidity measurements. The telomer formed a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) on a gold surface as confirmed by both cyclic voltammetry (CV) and ellipsometry. The recognition of sugar residues by the telomer SAM constructed on the gold electrode was detected by the CV measurements. The usefulness of the iniferter to prepare various telomer-carrying SAMs with bio-related functions was strongly suggested.

Selective modification of chemically active sites on supports, such as steps, edges, and corners, with metal nanoparticles (NPs) is a challenging topic in the fields of catalysis and photocatalysis. However, the formation of site-selective, high-density metal NPs on a support has not yet been achieved. Radial ZnO mesocrystals composed of hexagonal nanowires (NWs) with {101̅0} sidewalls were synthesized by a simple solution-phase method.

Ultrasmall and highly fluorescent gold nanoclusters (Au NCs) have been widely used for the construction of sensing and imaging platforms. Specifically, through a combination of surface functionalization and spectral analysis and/or imaging techniques, effective intracellular detection and imaging are realized. In this review, we summarize the recently adopted intracellular analysis and imaging events with Au NCs-based probes.

Nanoparticles of highly porous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are some of the most exciting nanomaterials under development, with potential applications that range from biomedicine and catalysis to adsorption technologies. However, our synthetic methodologies to functionalize and manipulate MOF nanoparticles (NPs) are less well developed than they might be. Here we create MOF NPs derivatized with hydrazone units on their exterior, enabling chemospecific reversible dynamic covalent modification of structures on the external surface.

Background: Real-time and rapid detection of ingredients in food has important significance for food safety. However, traditional detection methods not only require bulky and costly instruments but also are often based on single-mode analysis, limiting their accuracy and applications in point-of-care testing. Herein, an integrated and miniaturized dual-mode device based on colorimetric and photoacoustic (PA) principles is developed, using Au@Ag nanoparticles (Au@AgNPs) as signal probe and ascorbic acid (AA) and ascorbate oxidase (AAO) as analytes.

This study investigates the functionalization of gold-coated magnetoelastic sensors with thionine molecules, focusing on resonance frequency shifts. The functionalization process was characterized by using Raman spectroscopy and analyzed via scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy, revealing the progressive formation of molecular clusters over time. Our results demonstrate that longer functionalization time leads to saturation of surface coverage and cluster formation, impacting the sensor's resonance frequency shifts.
