AI Article Synopsis

  • This study investigates the electrochemiluminescence (ECL) properties of a chromium complex ([Cr(L)]) that emits light at 735 nm and shows similar behavior to more expensive precious metal complexes.
  • The electrochemical properties of [Cr(L)] make it difficult to access its excited state using typical ECL methods, but ECL can be achieved using an annihilation route with alternating potentials.
  • When combined with another complex ([Ir(ppy)]) that emits at 520 nm, the ECL of [Cr(L)] is significantly enhanced, allowing for controlled emissions from both complexes depending on the applied potentials.

Article Abstract

We report the electrochemiluminescence (ECL) of a 3d Cr(0) complex ([Cr(L)]; λ=735 nm) with comparable photophysical properties to those of ECL-active complexes of 4d or 5d precious metal ions. The electrochemical potentials of [Cr(L)] are more negative than those of [Ir(ppy)] and render the [Cr(L)]* excited state inaccessible through conventional co-reactant ECL with tri-n-propylamine or oxalate. ECL can be obtained, however, through the annihilation route in which potentials sufficient to oxidise and reduce the luminophore are alternately applied. When combined with [Ir(ppy)] (λ=520 nm), the annihilation ECL of [Cr(L)] was greatly enhanced whereas that of [Ir(ppy)] was diminished. Under appropriate conditions, the relative intensities of the two spectrally distinct emissions can be controlled through the applied potentials. From this starting point for ECL with 3d metal complexes, we discuss some directions for future development.

Neurodegenerative diseases, characterized by the progressive deterioration of neuronal function and structure, pose significant global public health and economic challenges. Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF), a key regulator of neuroplasticity and neuronal survival, has emerged as a critical biomarker for various neurodegenerative and psychiatric disorders, including Alzheimer's disease. Traditional diagnostic methods, such as Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) and electrochemiluminescence (ECL) assays, face limitations in terms of sensitivity, stability, reproducibility, and cost-effectiveness.

Article Synopsis
  • A new eco-friendly electrochemiluminescence (ECL) sensor using carbon quantum dots (CN QDs) was developed for highly sensitive detection of vitamin K (VK).
  • The sensor combined nickel-cobalt nanocages (NiCo NCs) with CN QDs, enhancing luminescent properties and allowing for efficient signal amplification when applied to a poly-L-cysteine film.
  • It demonstrated a detection range for VK between 1.0 × 10⁻⁸ to 5.0 × 10⁻⁴ mol/L, with a low limit of detection at 1.65 × 10⁻⁹ mol/L, and showed effective recoveries in food samples, indicating its practical application.

Dopamine (DA) is an important catecholamine neurotransmitter and its abnormal concentration is closely related to diseases such as hypertension, Parkinson's disease and schizophrenia. Due to the advantages of high sensitivity and fast response for electrochemiluminescence (ECL), developing ECL sensors for detecting DA was very critical in clinical diagnosis. ECL resonance energy transfer (ECL-RET) was an effective signaling mechanism.

Oseltamivir is a drug that has been widely used to prevent and treat influenza A and B. In this work, an ultrasensitive, simple, and novel electrochemiluminescence (ECL) sensor combined with molecularly imprinted polymers (MIP-ECL) based on a graphene-like two-dimensional material, Mxene quantum dots (MQDs) was constructed to selectively detect oseltamivir. A molecularly imprinted polymer membrane containing an oseltamivir template was constructed by electropolymerization and elution of modified MQDs on a glassy carbon electrode.
