Turn-on time is a key factor for lighting devices to be of practical application. To decrease the turn-on time value of a deep-red light-emitting electrochemical cells (DR-LECs), two novel approaches based on molecularly engineered ruthenium phenanthroimidazole complexes were introduced. First, we found that with the incorporation of ionic methylpyridinium group to phenanthroimidazole ligand, the turn-on time of the DR-LECs device was dramatically reduced, from 79 to 27 s. By complexation of ruthenium emitter with Ag, the turn-on time was improved by 85%, and the EQE of DR-device was increased from 0.62 to 0.71%. These results open a new avenue in decreasing the turn-on time without adding ionic electrolytes, leading to an efficient LEC.

Background: The unregulated use of pesticides by farmers, for crop productivity results in widespread contamination of organophosphates in real environmental samples, which is a growing societal concern about their potential health effects. The conventional approaches for the monitoring these organophosphate-based pesticides which include immunoassays, electrochemical methods, immunosensors, various chromatography techniques, along with some spectroscopic methods, are either costly, sophisticated, or involves the use of different metal complexes. Therefore, there is an urgent need for sensitive, quick, and easy-to-use detection techniques for the screening of widely used organophosphate-based pesticides.

An efficient probe (E)-2-(benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)-3-(9-ethyl-9 H-carbazol-3-yl)acrylonitrile (CZ-BTZ) for selective fluorescence "turn-on" response with cyanide (CN) ion sensor was developed by simple Knoevenagel condensation of 9-ethyl-9 H carbazole-3-carbaldehyde with 2-(benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl) acetonitrile. The sensing ability of probe CZ-BTZ was tested with different inorganic anions through spectrophotometric and spectrofluorimetric methods. The UV-vis and fluorescence spectral studies show the formation of a new adduct between CZ-BTZ and CN by appearing with a new absorbance band at 350 nm and "turn-on" fluorescence at 535 nm in CHCN: HO (8:2, v/v, pH 7.

A series of colorful binuclear Schiff bases derived from the different diamine bridges including 1,2- ethylenediamine (bis-Et-SA, bis-Et-4-NEt, bis-Et-5-NO, bis-Et-Naph), 1,2-phenylenediamine (bis-Ph-SA, bis-Ph-4-NEt, bis-Ph-5-NO, bis-Ph-Naph), dicyano-1,2-ethenediamine (bis-CN-SA, bis-CN-4-NEt, bis-CN-5-NO, bis-CN-Naph) have been designed and prepared. The optical properties of these binuclear Schiff base ligands were fully determined by UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy, fluorescence emission spectroscopy, and time-dependent-density functional theory (TD-DFT) calculations. The inclusion of D-A systems and/or π-extended systems in these binuclear Schiff base ligands not only enables adjustable RGB light absorption and emission spectra (300~700 nm) but also yields high fluorescence quantum efficiencies of up to 0.

Detecting biothiols like glutathione (GSH), homocysteine (Hcy), and cysteine (Cys) is key to understanding their roles in health and disease. We developed BT-DNBS, a cyanine-based turn-on fluorescent probe with a dinitrobenzenesulfonyl (DNBS) quencher group. Upon biothiol interaction, the quencher is cleaved, restoring fluorescence.
