AI Article Synopsis

  • A new fluorescent chemosensor called HL detects metal cations (Fe and Al) and the CN anion using a simple and efficient synthesis method.
  • In solutions like DMSO and DMF, HL shows a strong response to the presence of Fe and Al, with significant changes in its fluorescence emissions.
  • The sensor uniquely identifies CN by changing its chemical structure, which is supported by various characterization techniques and theoretical calculations.

Article Abstract

A naphthylamide based fluorescent chemosensor, N,N'-(1,2-phenylene)bis(1-hydroxy-2-naphthamide) (HL), for detection of Fe and Al cations as well as CN anion is reported. This compound has been synthesized by a novel and facile synthetic method with high yield and characterized by FT-IR, H NMR, elemental analysis, and UV-Vis spectroscopy. It could detect Fe and Al ions in different media with different excitation and emission wavelengths. In DMSO solution, HL showed selective ON-OFF quenching of its 451 nm emission in the presence of Fe. On the other hand, in DMF solution, HL exhibited selective OFF-ON fluorescence upon the addition of Al, the intensity at 429 nm increases drastically by 24-fold. Also, among the anions, the probe can selectively distinguish CN by deprotonation of OH and NH groups, as proved by H NMR titration. TD-DFT calculation supports the UV-Vis and fluorescence measurements of the chemosensor.

Chirality Evolution of Supramolecular Helices by Electron Transfer Assisted Secondary Nucleation.

Adv Sci (Weinh)

December 2024

State Key Lab of Metal Matrix Composites, School of Materials Science and Engineering, Shanghai Key Laboratory for Molecular Engineering of Chiral Drugs, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai, 200230, P. R. China.

Chirality evolution is ubiquitous and important in nature, but achieving it in artificial systems is still challenging. Herein, the chirality evolution of supramolecular helices based on l-phenylalanine derivative (LPF) and naphthylamide derivate (NDIAPY) is achieved by the strategy of electron transfer (ET) assisted secondary nucleation. ET from LPF to NDIAPY can be triggered by 5 s UV irradiation on left-handed LPF-NDIAPY co-assemblies, leading to NDIAPY radical anions and partial disassembly of the helices.

A novel class of thienyltriazine triamides (TTTAs) was facile synthesized and firstly used as cathode interlayers (CILs) for organic solar cells (OSCs). By utilizing different aromatic arms and pendant polar groups, their optoelectronic properties and aggregation behaviors were effectively modulated. The combination of thienyltriazine (TT) core, naphthylamide arm and imidazole pendant group endows TT-N-M with suitable energy levels, intensified work function tunability, higher conductivity, and well-balanced crystallinity and film-forming ability, boosting both the performance and stability of OSCs significantly.

Fe is essential for humans, and its deficiency or excess can be harmful to human health; thus, it is crucial to detect Fe. Herein, a novel 1,8-naphthylimide rhodamine-based fluorescent probe (NA-RhBEA) was prepared from rhodamine B, anhydrous ethylenediamine, and 1,8-naphthoic anhydride. This fluorescent probe complexes Fe with N and O on the carboxyl groups of its spironolactam structure and part of the 1,8-naphthalenedicarboxylic anhydride structure, which results in spironolactam ring-opening and fluorescence.
