Rhodamine-diformyl p-cresol conjugate (L) has been developed as a novel Al(3+)-selective fluorometric and colorimetric sensor based on the FRET mechanism for the first time. L can selectively detect Al(3+) through time-dependent PET-CHEF and FRET processes. This phenomenon is nicely reflected from (1)H NMR, fluorescence lifetime, and fluorescence cell imaging studies. The probe can detect Al(3+) as low as 5 × 10(-9) M in HEPES-buffered EtOH:water (0.1 M, 4:1, v/v, pH 7.4). The probe shows pH-dependent emission properties viz. an intense red emission (585 nm) at acidic pH and an intense green fluorescence (535 nm) at basic pH. Thus, L can also be used as a pH sensor via tunable wavelength.

Article Synopsis
- Supramolecular coordination assemblies are crucial in material science and biology, but most current examples lack adaptability due to being thermodynamically controlled.
- This research introduces non-equilibrium coordination assembly systems that evolve over time, transitioning from metastable fiber structures to stable nanosheets with the help of zinc ions.
- The evolution process can be tracked using multicolor fluorescence and can be influenced by external factors, showcasing a versatile approach applicable with other ions like Ca, Mg, and Al.

Precise detection of Al with the aid of a fluorescence sensor is of fundamental importance in the fields of water pollution control and food safety. A comprehensive understanding of the photophysical process of the sensor as well as its underlying detection mechanism is a precondition for the design of highly efficient sensors. This contribution performs a thorough investigation of the ratiometric fluorescence sensing mechanism of an Al sensor with the aid of density functional theory and time-dependent density functional theory.

Three homoleptic Al(III) complexes (-) with different degrees of methylation at the 2-pyridylpyrrolide ligand were systematically tested for their function as photosensitizers (PS) in two types of energy transfer reactions. First, in the generation of reactive singlet oxygen (O), and second, in the isomerization of ()- to ()-stilbene. O was directly evidenced by its characteristic NIR emission at around 1276 nm and indirectly by the reaction with an organic substrate [e.

The excited state lifetimes of neutral (Al) clusters up to ∼1 nm in diameter in size, where ≤ 43, are systematically measured with femtosecond time-resolved mass spectrometry. The onset of metallic behavior is identified as a distinct change in the relaxation behavior initiated with single ultraviolet (400 nm) photon excitation. The experimentally measured excited state lifetimes gradually decrease with size for small molecular scale clusters ( < 10) before becoming indistinguishable for larger clusters ( > 9), where the measurements are comparable to electron-lattice relaxation time of bulk Al (∼300 fs).

Based on density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent DFT (TD-DFT) methods with integral equation formula polarized continuum model (IEFPCM), the fluorescent behavior and recognizing mechanism of probe N'-((1-hydroxynaphthalen-2-yl)methylene)isoquinoline-3-carbohydrazide (NHMI) for Al/Mg ion were investigated in more detail. Excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) process in probe NHMI occurs in the stepwise pattern. The proton H of enol structure (E1) firstly moves from O to N to form single proton-transfer (SPT2) structure, and then the proton H of SPT2 transfers from N to N to form the stable double proton-transfer (DPT) structure.
