A novel and ultrasensitive immunosensing strategy based on activators generated electron transfer for atom transfer radical polymerization (AGET ATRP) in combination with flow injection chemiluminescent (CL) and electrochemical detection was proposed. The initiator-conjugated polyclone PSA antibodies (Ab2*), prepared by coupling of N-hydroxysuccinmidyl bromoisobutyrate (initiator) with polyclone PSA antibodies (Ab2), were immobilized on the substrate surface through sandwiched immunoreactions to trigger polymerization. AGET ATRP is used for local accumulation of glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) monomers. Horseradish peroxidase (HRP) was chosen as signal species for its well-characterized chemiluminescent and electrochemical behavior, strong enzyme activity, good solubility and ease in coupling. Growth of long chain polymeric materials provided excess epoxy groups for HRP coupling, which in turn significantly increased the loading of signal molecules and enhanced the chemiluminescent and electrochemical readouts. With the proposed strategy, a detection limit of 4.0 and 1.3 pg mL(-1) was obtained for flow injection chemiluminescent and electrocatalytic measurements, respectively. A more than 13- and 14-fold enhancement in the chemiluminescent intensity and electrocatalytic current was achieved comparing to the traditional sandwiched immunoassays using HRP-conjugated antibody directly. The proposed method exhibited an efficient amplification performance for immunosensing. This paved a new way for ultrasensitive detection of cancer biomarkers.

Highly sensitive and catalytic electrochemical aptamer-based biosensor for β-lactoglobulin via coupling redox recycling background minimization with DNAzyme amplification.

Background: β-lactoglobulin (β-Lg), a major allergen in dairy products, can trigger severe allergic reactions and even fatal outcomes in infants. In this work, we develop a new low background current redox recycling strategy by conjugating the electrochemical mediator to trimetallic hybrid nanoparticles (NPs)-dispersed graphene as the signal tag, which is coupled with DNAzyme amplifications to construct highly catalytic and ultrasensitive β-Lg aptasensor.

Results: Target β-Lg molecules bind aptamers in DNAzyme/aptamer duplexes to release active DNAzymes to initiate cyclic cleavage of hairpin substrates.

Carbazolylpyridine ()-based tetradentate platinum(II) complexes containing fused 6/5/6 metallocycles.

Dalton Trans

January 2025

College of Chemical Engineering, State Key Laboratory Breeding Base of Green-Chemical Synthesis Technology, Zhejiang University of Technology, Hangzhou, Zhejiang 310014, P. R. China.

A series of carbazolylpyridine ()-based 6/5/6 Pt(II) complexes featuring tetradentate ligands with nitrogen or oxygen atoms as bridging groups was designed and synthesized, and the bridging nitrogen atoms were derived from acridinyl (Ac), azaaceridine (AAc) and carbazole (Cz). Systematic experimental and theoretical studies reveal that the ligand structures have a significant effect on the electrochemical, photophysical and excited state properties of these complexes. Their oxidation processes mainly occur on the carbazole-Pt moieties, whereas the reduction processes typically occur on the electron-deficient pyridine (Py) moieties.

Au nanoclusters often demonstrate useful optical properties such as visible/near-infrared photoluminescence, in addition to remarkable thermodynamic stability owing to their superatomic behavior. The smallest of the 8e superatomic Au nanoclusters, Au, has limited applications due to its lack of luminescence and relatively low stability. In this work, we investigate the introduction of a single Pt dopant to the center of a halide- and triphenylphosphine-ligated Au nanocluster, affording a cluster with a proposed molecular formula PtAu(PPh)Br.

In Situ Balanced Synthesis of High-Activity Low-Spin Iron Cathode Prussian Blue for Enhanced Sodium-Ion Storage.

Nano Lett

January 2025

The growing market for sodium-ion batteries has stimulated interest in research on Prussian blue-type cathode materials. Iron hexacyanoferrate (FeHCF) is considered a desirable Prussian blue-type cathode, but the incomplete electrochemical property of its low-spin iron sites hinders its further practical application. In this paper, carboxymethyl cellulose is demonstrated to have an appropriate binding energy through DFT calculations, synthesize Prussian blue in situ, balance Fe and water in FeHCF, and introduce Fe vacancies to activate low-spin Fe sites.

Background: The unregulated use of pesticides by farmers, for crop productivity results in widespread contamination of organophosphates in real environmental samples, which is a growing societal concern about their potential health effects. The conventional approaches for the monitoring these organophosphate-based pesticides which include immunoassays, electrochemical methods, immunosensors, various chromatography techniques, along with some spectroscopic methods, are either costly, sophisticated, or involves the use of different metal complexes. Therefore, there is an urgent need for sensitive, quick, and easy-to-use detection techniques for the screening of widely used organophosphate-based pesticides.
