To sense biologically important entities with different size and dimensions, a fluorenone based fluorescent receptor was designed and synthesized. Probe 1 displayed a distinct fluorescence enhancement emission at 565nm for pyrophosphate and 530nm for alanine in polar solvent. The fluorescence titration experiments confirm 1:1 stoichiometric ratio with high-binding constant and very low limit of detection (LoD) values. Receptor 1 showed a highly selective and sensitive recognition to HPO and to alanine over other competitive anions and amino acids. In addition, the fluorescence lifetime measurement and reversible binding study results support the practical importance of 1.

Carbonyl-containing materials employed in state-of-the-art hybrid lead halide perovskite solar cells (PSCs) exhibit a strong structure-dependent electron donor effect that predominates in defect passivation. However, the impact of the molecular spatial conformation on the efficacy of carbonyl-containing passivators remains ambiguous, hindering the advancement of molecular design for passivating materials. Herein, we show that altering the spatial torsion angle of aromatic ketones from twisted to planar configurations, as seen in benzophenone (BP, 27.

Article Synopsis
- The text discusses the synthesis and characterization of three new fluorescence probes derived from fluorenone azine, focusing on their structural properties and the methods used for their analysis.
- These probes exhibit unique photophysical behaviors due to hydrogen bonding interactions that allow for processes like excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) and twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT).
- The study highlights the probes' potential applications in bioimaging and viscosity detection, specifically demonstrating that probe 3a is effective for measuring intercellular viscosity in a Caenorhabditis elegans model.

Inhibition of the protein-protein interaction between Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1) and nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) has been recognized as an attractive approach for treating oxidative stress-related diseases. Here, we present a new series of noncovalent Keap1-Nrf2 inhibitors developed by a conformational restriction strategy of our fluorenone-based compounds previously identified by fragment-based drug discovery. The design was guided by X-ray cocrystal structures, and the subsequent optimization process aimed at improving affinity, cellular activity, and metabolic stability.

Article Synopsis
- The study introduces two new structural types in heteroleptic PdAB assemblies: syn-cis-PdAB bowls and cis-PdAB rings that can be bowl-shaped (syn) or saddle-shaped (anti), built upon a common longer fluorenone-based bis-monodentate ligand.
- The size and shape of the rings are influenced by shorter ligands with various para-pyridine donors and aromatic backbones, which affect the assembly's nuclearity through changes in ligand angles and bulk.
- The luminescent properties of the fluorenone ligand are preserved in these assemblies, which can bind chiral guest molecules and generate significant guest-induced circular dichroism (CD) and circularly polarized luminescence (CPL

New semiconductors containing fluorene or fluorenone central fragments along with phosphonic acid anchoring groups were synthesized and investigated as electron transporting materials for possible application in photovoltaic devices. These derivatives demonstrate good thermal stability and suitable electrochemical properties for effective electron transport from perovskite, SbS and SbSe absorber layers. Self-assembled fluorene and fluorenone electron-transporting materials have shown improved substrate wettability, indicating bond formation between monolayer-forming compounds and the ITO, TiO, SbS, or SbSe surface.
