Antibiotic residues have become a public health issues, the fast detection of tetracycline (Tc) in the environment is urgently required. In this work, TiC quantum dots (TiC QDs) and Europium ions jointly constructed a ratiometric fluorescence (FL) platform for the detection of Tc, based on synergistic impact of the Foster Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) from TiC QDs to Eu ions and the Antenna Effect (AE) between Tc and Eu ions. And we proposed a ratiometric FL platform for detecting Tc with good linear response range (100-1000 uM) and low detection limit (48.79 nM). Meanwhile, we applied this platform to detect a serious of β-diketone ligands of Eu ions, demonstrating the platform's versatility for this category of chemical. Furthermore, based on the color changes of QDs@Eu from blue to red at 365 nm ultraviolet light, an intelligent detection smart device was built for the visual semi-quantitative detection of Tc in actual samples. We proved the applicability of the device in complicated samples and the potential for rapid, sensitive, intuitive and point-of-care detection in the field of environment, food, pharmaceutical and agriculture.

We present a computational investigation on the structural arrangements and energetic stabilities of small-size protonated argon clusters, Ar nH +. Using high-level ab initio electronic structure computations, we determined that the linear symmetric triatomic ArH +Ar ion serves as the molecular core for all larger clusters studied. Through harmonic normal-mode analysis for clusters containing up to seven argon atoms, we observed that the proton-shared vibration shifts to lower frequencies, consistent with measurements in gas-phase IRPD and solid Ar-matrix isolation experiments.

The spectral narrowing engineering of pure-organic emitters attracts great research interests in realizing high color purity. Here, the adjusted medium-range charge transfer (MCT) strategy of TIC-BO with rigid planar structure by fusing two typical UV-emitting multiple resonance (MR) fragments via the ingenious double-halide cyclized coupling reaction is reported. The resulting TIC-BO with MCT nature shows efficient violet-blue emission in dilute toluene and evaporated host-guest films, and desirably narrowed spectra are achieved by the suppression of structural relaxation and the shortened charge transfer states.

Bone implants with biocompatibility and the ability to biomineralize and suppress infection are in high demand. The occurrence of early infections after implant placement often leads to repeated surgical treatment due to the ineffectiveness of antibiotic therapy. Therefore, an extremely attractive solution to this problem would be the ability to initiate bacterial protection of the implant by an external influence.

The reactive collision between Ar and the ArH species has been investigated by means of quantum mechanical (QM), quasiclassical trajectories (QCT) and statistical quantum mechanical (SQM) approaches. Reaction probabilities, cross sections as a function of the energy and rate constants in terms of the temperature have been obtained. Cumulative distributions as a function of the collision time and the inspection of selected QCT corresponding to specific dynamical mechanisms have been analysed.
