Background: Fluorescence quenching is an interesting phenomenon with the potential to be applied across various fields. The mechanism is commonly used across analytical applications for monitoring the concentration of trace substances. Naphthalimide and its family of compounds are commonly used as fluorescent detectors. This work investigated an analytical technique through which naphthalimide-based dyes could be quantified. A commercial A/C leak detector was used as the dye and Cu ions as the quencher. Experiments were also conducted to investigate the effect of temperature on quenching. To study the mechanism of quenching further, density functional theory (DFT) was used.
Results: The method detection limit obtained in this work is 1.7 × 10 mol/L. The results from the quenching experiments demonstrated a pattern which fit a modified Stern-Volmer (SV) model, with an R value of 0.9886. From the experiments on the effect of temperature, a dynamic quenching behavior was observed given the emission spectra demonstrated an inverse relationship with temperature.
Conclusions: The quenching of the commercial A/C dye by Cu ions can be used to develop a rapid and sensitive detection method for metal ions such as Cu, and for future fabrication of chemosensors for Cu.

Based on the enhanced peroxidase-like activity of carbon dots nanozymes (CDszymes), with a specific oxidation reaction of D-amino acid oxidase catalysing the formation of HO from D-amino acid, an ultrasensitive sensing platform, was constructed for the quantitative detection of D-amino acids in saliva. With the increase of D-amino acids concentration, the blue color of catalytic product gradually deepend, the fluorescence CDszymes gradually quenched, and the temperature gradually increased. Using D-alanine as D-amino acid models, the detection limits of D-alanine in colorimetric/photothermal/fluorescent mode were 0.

In this work, a site-selective functionalization strategy is proposed for modifying fluorescent dyes in the plasmonic nanopore, which highlights building optoelectronic dual-signal sensing interfaces at "hotspots" locations to construct multiparameter detection nanosensor. Finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulations confirmed the high-intensity electromagnetic field due to plasmonic nanostructure. It is demonstrated that adjusting the distance between the nanopore inner wall and fluorophore prevented the fluorescence quenching, resulting in more than a thirty fold fluorescence enhancement.

This study investigates the structure-property relationships of a series of phenylhydrazones bearing various electron-donating and electron-withdrawing substituents, such as methoxy, dimethylamino, morpholinyl, hydroxyl, chloro, bromo, and nitro groups. The compounds were synthesized, and their structures were characterized using single-crystal X-ray diffraction, powder X-ray diffraction, FTIR spectroscopy, NMR spectroscopy, and DSC. Three-dimensional excitation-emission matrix (3D-EEM) fluorescence spectroscopy and UV-Vis spectroscopy were employed to elucidate the complex interplay between the molecular skeleton, substituents, and the resulting photophysical properties.

Carbon monoxide (CO) is widely recognized as a significant environmental pollutant and is associated with numerous instances of accidental poisoning in humans. However, it also serves a pivotal role as a signaling molecule in plants, exhibiting functions analogous to those of other gaseous signaling molecules, including nitric oxide (NO) and hydrogen sulfide (HS). In plant physiology, CO is synthesized as an integral component of the defense mechanism against oxidative damage, particularly under abiotic stress conditions such as drought, salinity, and exposure to heavy metals.

Fluorescence molecular imaging aims to enhance clarity in the region of interest, particularly in the near-infrared IIb window (NIR-IIb, 1500-1700 nm). To achieve this, we developed a novel small-molecule dye, named , based on classic cyanine dyes (heptamethine or pentamethine is essential for wavelengths beyond 1000 nm). By reducing excessive polymethine to a single methine and disrupting symmetry to form an asymmetric donor-π-acceptor (D-π-A) architecture, we enhanced the donor's electron-donating capability, yielding emission at 1088 nm.
