The selective fluorescence sensing of fructose was achieved by fluorescence quenching of the emission of hydrothermal-synthesized carbon quantum dots prepared by 3-hydroxyphenylboronic acid. Quantification of fructose was possible in aqueous solutions with pH of 9 (Limit of Detection L and Limit of Quantification L of 2.04 and 6.12 mM), by quenching of the emission at 376 nm and excitation ~380 nm with a linearity range of 0-150 mM. A Stern-Volmer constant (K) of 2.11 × 10 mM was obtained, while a fluorescent quantum yield of 31% was calculated. The sensitivity of this assay towards fructose was confirmed by comparison with other sugars (such as glucose, sucrose and lactose). Finally, the validity of the proposed assays was further demonstrated by performing recovery assays in different matrixes. Graphical Abstract.

A revolutionary transformation in biomedical imaging is unfolding with the advent of aggregation-induced emission luminogens (AIEgens). These cutting-edge molecules not only overcome the limitations of traditional fluorescent probes but also improve the boundaries of high-contrast imaging. Unlike conventional fluorophores suffering from aggregation-caused quenching, AIEgens exhibit enhanced luminescence when aggregated, enabling superior imaging performance.

Selective binding and optical sensing of Zn(II) and Cd(II) by L1, HL2, L3, HL4 and HL5 receptors were analysed in aqueous solutions by coupling potentiometric, UV-vis absorption and fluorescence emission measurements, with the aim to determine the effect of complex stability on selective signalling of metals with similar electronic configurations. All receptors share the same cyclic tetra-amine binding unit attached to a single quinoline (Q) or 8-hydroxyquinoline (8-OHQ) unit (L1 and HL2, respectively), two Q or 8-OHQ moieties (L3 and HL4, respectively), and, finally, two Q and two acetate groups (HL5). The crystal structures of the Cd(II) and Zn(II) complexes show that L3 and HL4 feature a cavity in which the larger Cd(II) complex is better fitted than the Zn(II) complex, leading to the formation of more stable Cd(II) complexes.

Three different two dimensional Cd(II)-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been synthesized by utilizing same N,N'-donor ligand and three different functionalized dicarboxylate linkers namely isophthalate, 5-nitroisophthalate and 5-hydroxyisophthalate for compound 1, 2 and 3 respectively. The compounds that are isoreticular bi-walled 2D frameworks, show dual fluorescence emission spectra for their π-π* and n-π* excitation. Compound 1 is consists of unsubstituted bridging isophthalate whereas 2 and 3 are made with bridging isophthalate that are substituted by electron withdrawing -NO2 group and electron donating -OH group respectively.

Luminol is a well-known electrochemiluminescence (ECL) fluorophore that is applied in various sensing fields as an ECL reporter. Regulating the signal off/on transition of an ECL fluorophore offers great opportunities for sensors' design; however, such attempts on luminol are extremely scarce as it was regarded to lack promising modification sites. In this study, we developed four luminol derivatives with modification at the amine site and the enol site and systematically explored possible caging strategies to regulate ECL emission.

Thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF)-based nanoprobes are promising candidates as bioimaging agents, yet the fine-tuning of their photophysical properties through the modulation of the surrounding matrices remains largely unexplored. Herein, we report the development of polypeptide-TADF nanoprobes, where the rigid, α-helical polypeptide scaffold plays a critical role in enhancing the emission intensity and lifetime of the TADF fluorophore for bioimaging. The α-helical scaffolds not only spatially separated TADF molecules to avoid self-quenching but also anchored the dyes with minimized rotation and vibration.
