AI Article Synopsis
- Researchers developed a chemosensor probe (P1) that detects Hg and Cu ions using colorimetric and photoluminescent methods, showing quick sensitivity in semi-aqueous solutions.
- P1 produces a significant 50-fold increase in photoluminescence for Cu ions, forming 1:1 complexes with both Hg and Cu, and demonstrating strong binding constants.
- The effectiveness of P1 was proven with real sample analysis and successful visualization of copper ions in mouse fibroblast cells, indicating its potential for intracellular detection.
Article Abstract
In this work, we developed a fast and straightforward colorimetric and photoluminescent chemosensor probe (P1), featuring bis-thiophene-thiosemicarbazide moieties as its signaling and binding unit. This probe exhibited rapid sensitivity to Hg and Cu ions in a semi-aqueous medium, resulting in distinct colorimetric and photoluminescent changes. In the presence of Cu, P1 displayed an impressive 50-fold increase in photoluminescence (PL) at 450 nm (with excitation at 365 nm). The probe P1 formed a 1:1 complex with Hg and Cu ions, featuring association constant values of 4.04 × 10 M and 1.25 × 10 M, respectively. P1 has demonstrated its efficacy in the analysis of real samples, yielding promising results. Additionally, the probe successfully visualized copper ions on a mouse fibroblast cell line (NIH3T3), highlighting its potential as an intracellular probe for copper ion detection.

Elevated temperatures can lead to reabsorption and color drift, compromising the quality of phosphor-converted white light-emitting diode (pc-WLED) devices. To ensure the performance of WLEDs under these conditions, it is essential to develop luminescent materials that maintain stable color. Consequently, there is a pressing need for single-phase white-emitting phosphors with robust chromatic stability.

Given that optical thermometers are widely used due to their unique advantages, this study aims to address critical challenges in existing technologies, such as insufficient sensitivity, limited temperature measurement ranges, and poor signal recognition capabilities. Herein, we develop a thermometer based on the fluorescence intensity ratio (FIR) of Sb-doped CsNaInCl (CsNaInCl:Sb). As the temperature increases from 203 to 323 K, the thermally induced transition from triplet to singlet self-trapped excitons (STEs) leads to enhanced 455 nm photoluminescence (PL) from singlet STE recombination.

A zinc(II) coordination polymer, [Zn(Hdhtp)(2,2'-bpy)(HO)] (1), has been utilized as a dual-mode luminescence-colorimetric sensor (Hdhtp = 2,5-dihydroxy terephthalate and 2,2'-bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine). The presence of hydroxyl groups in Hdhtp can promote excited-state intra- and intermolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) phenomena. Therefore, compound 1, which displays high stability in aqueous environments, exhibits a strong green-yellow photoluminescence.

To examine the water-induced photoluminescence turn-on and its potential application in trace water sensing, a new series of [Ln(dmba)(HO)]·2HO, where Ln = La (), Pr (), Nd (), Sm (), Eu (), Gd (), Tb (), Dy (), Ho (), and Er (), were synthesized using dimethoxybenzoic acid (Hdmba). Their single-crystal structures and thermal and chemical robustness were investigated, and the effects of lanthanide contraction and noncovalent interactions were discussed. The photoluminescence and colorimetric properties of - were investigated.

This research delves into the holistic hydrothermal synthesis of VS QDs and their subsequent utilization as a fluorescent probe for the subtle detection of ferric ions (Fe) in practical sample matrices. The detection paradigms harness a colorimetric sensing mechanism, amplified by smartphone-enabled analytical integration for improved precision and real-time monitoring. A comprehensive suite of analytical characterization techniques has been employed, revealing that the as-synthesized VS QDs feature a surface densely populated with functional groups.
