Article Abstract

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(-).

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.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on creating a sustainable fertilizer by synthesizing a chitosan-benzaldehyde Schiff base xerogel with green synthesized cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeO NPs) derived from Psidium guajava leaves.
  • The resulting urea-loaded nanocomposite xerogel (CsB@U/CeO) demonstrated extended water retention and a controlled release of urea over 30 days, enhancing cabbage growth compared to traditional fertilizers.
  • Cabbages treated with CsB@U/CeO showed improved growth parameters and increased content of beneficial compounds like phenolics, proteins, sugars, and flavonoids, suggesting its potential as a viable alternative to conventional urea fertilizers.
