Microviscosity is of paramount importance in materials and bio-sciences. Fluorescence imaging using molecular rotors has emerged as a versatile tool to measure microviscosity, either using a fluorescence lifetime or a ratiometric signal of the rotor; however, only a limited number of blue-to-green-emitting fluorophores with both the lifetime and the ratiometric signal sensitivity to viscosity have been reported to date. Here we report a deep red emitting dual viscosity sensor, which allows both the ratiometric and the lifetime imaging of viscosity. We study viscosity in a range of lipid-based systems and conclude that in complex dynamic systems dual detection is preferable in order to independently verify the results of the measurements as well as perform rapid detection of changing viscosity.

Isostructured lanthanide-Brønsted acidic ionic liquid coordination polymers, {[Ln(CHNO)(HO)]Cl} (LnIMDC(HO), Ln = Eu, Gd, or Tb, CHNO = [IMDC]) and {[EuTb(CHNO)(HO)]Cl} (EuTbIMDC(HO))), have been synthesized using 1,3-bis(carboxymethyl) imidazolium chloride ([HIMDC]Cl) as linkers. LnIMDC(HO) (Ln = Eu or Tb) and EuTbIMDC(HO) exhibit good temperature sensing performance over a wide temperature range with maximum sensitivities of 2.73%·K (392 K) and 2.

Bovine serum albumin (BSA) is one of the most abundant proteins in serum, and its high-throughput detection is still one of the current challenges. Nitrogen‑phosphorus co-doped carbon dots (CDs) were synthesized by a hydrothermal method. Adenosine monophosphate (AMP) was used as a precursor for the synthesis of CDs, providing the required carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus sources for the CDs.

Pressure dependence of spectral positions of the E → A and T → A bands of Cr ions, resulting from changes in Cr-O covalency and variations in crystal field strength, respectively, is commonly utilized in luminescence manometry. However, as demonstrated in this paper, the luminescence of Cr-Cr pairs shows insensitivity to pressure changes, making this signal suitable as a luminescence reference. The significant difference in the thermal and pressure dependences of luminescence with Cr occupying different crystallographic positions in CaAlO:Cr enables the development of a dual-function luminescence thermometer that operates in both ratiometric and lifetime-based readout modes.

A new hydrazone-linked covalent organic framework (TFTH-COF) was synthesized and characterized. TFTH-COF has porous crystalline framework structure with high thermal stability. TFTH-COF exhibited highly selective fluorescence blue-shift response towards hypochlorite (ClO) in ethanol and accompanied by the obvious color change under both day light and UV light.
