Article Abstract
Cyanide released from mostly industrial production is a highly toxic chemical. Its heavy industrial use and transportation increase the danger of human exposure. Since it can often lead to rapid death, selective, sensitive and on-site and rapid monitoring techniques for the detection of cyanide are essential. Therefore, we report an efficient cyanide probe based on thiazolium conjugated HBT-Br derivative. It has striking color change toward cyanide blue to yellow under daylight or colorless to cyan under UV-light. Interaction modes of the probe are based on ESIPT and ICT processes. It is selectively able to react free aqueous cyanide with detection limit of 1.79 μM, lower than physiologically lethal blood levels, >20 μM. Smartphone assisted and test kit applications are able to detect cyanide, qualitatively. Moreover, real samples such as tap or lake water and apricot seeds including cyanide are successfully determined through the present probe. Therefore, the designed probe displays excellent practical potential toward cyanide.

Article Synopsis
- Chemotherapy's effectiveness is hampered by side effects, lack of specificity, and drug resistance, prompting the development of a novel small molecule conjugate called TDK-HCPT for targeted treatment.
- TDK-HCPT utilizes a unique design featuring thiamine disulfide and thioketal subunits that allow for selective targeting of tumor cells and retention of chemotherapy drugs like HCPT inside them.
- This innovative approach has demonstrated a significant reduction in cancer cell migration, tumor growth, and tumorigenesis rates in both lab studies and animal models.

Combining different antimicrobial agents has emerged as a promising strategy to enhance efficacy and address resistance evolution. In this study, we investigated the synergistic antimicrobial effect of a cationic biobased polymer and the antimicrobial peptide (AMP) temporin L, with the goal of developing multifunctional electrospun fibers for potential biomedical applications, particularly in wound dressing. A clickable polymer with pendent alkyne groups was synthesized by using a biobased itaconic acid building block.

Plaques of amyloid fibrils composed of neuronal protein α-synuclein are one of the hallmarks of Parkinson's disease, and their selective imaging is crucial to study the mechanism of its pathogenesis. However, the existing fluorescent probes for amyloids are efficient only in solution and tissue systems, and they are not selective enough for the visualization of amyloid fibrils in living cells. In this study, we present two molecular rotor-based probes RB1 and RB2.

Herein we show how metal-N,S-heterocyclic carbene intermediates are conveniently generated and utilized for the first time to construct N,S doubly-doped cationic conjugated tricyclic organic molecules which exhibit tuneable emission. The chemistry proceeds via direct double C-H activation followed by an annulative π-extension pathway.
