A molecular thermometer utilizing the different pi-stacking of B- and Z-DNA was designed. Aminopurine, which is a fluorescent probe for charge-transfer processes, was introduced into B- and Z-DNA and the emission monitored. Z-DNA showed a marked increase in fluorescence compared with B-DNA, with the fluorescence intensity correlating linearly and reproducibly with temperature.

Rethinking Assumptions: Assessing the Impact of Strong Magnetic Fields on Luminescence Thermometry.

Luminescence (nano)thermometry has exploded in popularity, offering a remote detection way to measure temperature across diverse fields like nanomedicine, microelectronics, catalysis, and plasmonics. A key advantage is its supposed immunity to strong electromagnetic fields, a crucial feature in many environments. However, this assumption lacks comprehensive experimental verification as most of the proposed luminescent thermometers rely on magnetic ions, such as lanthanides.

The report introduces hybrid polyelectrolyte-stabilized colloids combining blue and green-emitting building blocks, which are citrate carbon dots (CDs) and [TbL] chelate complexes with 1,3-diketonate derivatives of calix[4]arene. The joint incorporation of green and blue-emitting blocks into the polysodium polystyrenesulfonate (PSS) aggregates is carried out through the solvent-exchange synthetic technique. The coordinative binding between Tb centers and CD surface groups in initial DMF solutions both facilitates joint incorporation of [TbL] complexes and the CDs into the PSS-based nanobeads and affects fluorescence properties of [TbL] complexes and CDs, as well as their ability for temperature sensing.

By employing a tetraphenylethylene (TPE)-based tetracarboxylate linker, tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl)ethylene (HTCPE), we herein constructed a novel luminescent Mn-MOF based on a rare [Mn(μ-OH)] cluster (SQNU-55). Interestingly, the TPE-based SQNU-55 not only provides a good material for the blue LED device, but also has a better luminescent molecular thermometer for low-temperature detection.

Temperature-driven fluorescent NOT logic is demonstrated by exploiting predissociation in a 1,3,5-trisubstituted Δ -pyrazoline on its own and when grafted onto silica microparticles. Related Δ -pyrazolines become proton-driven YES and NOT logic gates on the basis of fluorescent photoinduced electron transfer (PET) switches. Additional PASS 1 and YES+PASS 1 logic gates on silica are also demonstrated within the same family.

Although excimer emission is a useful luminescent phenomenon for fabricating optical sensors and probes, it is difficult to apply excimer emission for film sensors due to critical concentration quenching in the solid state. Therefore, robust molecular designs for solid-state excimer emission are still being explored. One of the key examples is the previously reported acridine-ethynyl--carborane , which showed a bright solid-state excimer emission assisted by characteristic CH···N interactions.
