Luminescent spectroscopy combined with the technique of luminescent probing with rare earth ions (europium, gadolinium, terbium) and an actinide ion (uranyl) was used to differentiate enantiopure and racemic alanine, the simplest chiral proteinogenic amino acid. Using the achiral luminescent probes, small differences between pure L and DL alanine in the solid state were strongly amplified. Based on the observed electronic transitions of the probes, the position of the triplet level of the coordinated alanine was estimated. Formation of homo- and heterochiral complexes between enantiomers of alanine and the metal ions is discussed as a possible mechanism of chiral self-discrimination.

Based on nitrogen and phosphorus co-doped carbon dots (NP-CDs), a direct, quick, and selective sensing probe for fluorometric detection of rutin has been developed. Utilizing ethylene diamine tetra acetic acid (EDTA) as a carbon and nitrogen source and diammonium hydrogen phosphate (NH)HPO as a nitrogen and phosphorus source. The NP-CDs were synthesized in less than 3 min with a straightforward one-step microwave pyrolysis process with a high quantum yield (63.

Imaging luminescence kinetics is invaluable in many fields, including biology and chemistry. However, the luminescence lifetime of most photo-activated states is in the low ns-µs range and its measurement requires adding costly image intensifiers to cameras to access the fast phenomena present. Here, the Rectified Imaging under Optical Modulation (RIOM) and Heterodyne Imaging under Optical Modulation (HIOM) protocols make this possible with standard low-cost cameras only, even under ambient light.

In the present study, a norfloxacin (NFX) fluorescent probe was tailored for the spectrofluorometric measurement of cefepime (CFP). The proposed approach measured the quenching effect of CFP on the fluorescence intensity of NFX in acetate buffer solution. The obtained results show that CFP strongly quenches the fluorescence of NFX in a static mechanism.

Accurate and efficient determination of malachite green (MG) in aquaculture is crucial for ensuring environment and food safety. Herein, we present a dual-response fluorescence probe based on an Ag/PMMA/Eu nanocomposite for the sensitive detection of MG with low concentration and single droplet. The luminescence properties of the Ag/PMMA/Eu nanocomposite and the fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) effect between Eu and MG are significantly improved due to the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) effect.

Hypochlorous acid (HClO/ClO) is a common ROS that exhibits elevated activity levels in cancer cells. In this study, an ClO-triggered TADF probe, PTZ-MNI, was designed based on a naphthalimide core. PTZ-MNI self-assemble in aqueous environments, exhibiting significantly enhanced fluorescence that demonstrated typical aggregation-induced delayed fluorescence (AIDF) characteristics.
