A cyclen based lanthanide luminescent sensor, , has been developed by taking advantage of a combination of hydrogen bonding and f-metal ion coordination binding sites for anionic species. Analysis of the ground state, the emission from the singlet and the Tb(iii) excited states clearly show the ability of the Tb(iii) complex to signal the presence of anions in CH(3)CN, through multiple binding interactions consisting of hydrogen bonding and metal coordination. The delayed lanthanide luminescence from the Tb(iii) diaryl-urea complex was found to be significantly enhanced only upon recognition of H(2)PO(4)(-), at the same time as displaying good selectivity over other competitive anions, such as CH(3)COO(-).

The nucleotides play multiple fundamental roles that are essential in biochemical enzymatic reactions and signaling pathways. Many diseases are closely associated with their dysregulation. Therefore, reliable and sensitive optical probes to discriminate various nucleotides are essential in biochemistry, drug discovery, and disease diagnosis.

An excess of reactive oxygen species (ROS), leading to oxidative stress, is a major factor in aging. Antioxidant therapies are considered crucial for delaying aging. Nanoceria, a nanozyme with antioxidant activity, holds significant potential in protecting cells from oxidative stress-induced damage.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is one of the most common neurodegenerative diseases, commonly affecting the aged, with pathophysiological changes presenting 15 to 20 years before clinical symptoms. Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial in effectively slowing the progression of AD. In the current study, poly(2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl phosphorylcholine) (PMPC)-functionalized NaGdF nanoparticles (NaGdF-PMPC) were developed as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents for targeting alpha 7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (α7 nAChRs) in AD mice.

Rare earth elements (REEs), vital and limited resources, also play a significant role in agriculture. Previous findings indicated that the proper concentration of REEs could enhance the germination process, seed germination rate, and seedling growth and development. This paper introduces designing, synthesizing, and assembling a new type of tapered nanogates for separating and detecting lanthanide ions (La).
