AI Article Synopsis

  • There is a pressing need to create an easy and effective method for detecting phosgene due to its high toxicity and extensive use.
  • The research introduced a new fluorescent probe (Probe 1) that features benzimidazole and benzothiazole, demonstrating rapid sensitivity and low detection limits for phosgene.
  • Additionally, the probe can be integrated into polystyrene membrane test strips, allowing for the visual detection of phosgene gas with a smartphone app, showcasing its practicality for real-world applications.

Article Abstract

Considering the high toxicity and widespread application of phosgene, there is an urgent need to develop a simple and sensitive method for detecting phosgene. In this work, we designed and synthesized a novel ratiometric fluorescent probe 1 containing fluorophores of benzimidazole and benzothiazole. Probe 1 showed excellent sensitivity (< 30 s) and selectivity (LOD = 3.82 nM) for phosgene and significant ratiometric fluorescence changes. In addition, 1-loaded polystyrene membrane test strips were used to conveniently and efficiently detect phosgene gas (0.5 ppm) via the naked eye and the RGB APP of the smartphone, indicating that this probe has great potential for phosgene detection in the gaseous phase.

Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and AChE inhibitors play critical roles in the early diagnosis and treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Herein, a fluorescence/colorimetry/smartphone triple-mode sensing platform was constructed for both AChE activity monitoring and AChE inhibitor screening by exploring a Cu (I) compound, CuI (SR) (R = CHCHNH), as a fluorescent probe. In comparison of most other fluorescent probes, CuI (SR) presented exceptional stability against pH, temperature, UV irradiation, redox agents, and metal ions, as well as good recyclability due to its unique chemical structure.

Nitric oxide (NO) is a key signaling molecule that regulates energy metabolism, apoptosis, and antioxidant balance within mitochondria. It is closely associated with the development of cardiovascular diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, and cancer. Therefore, developing fluorescent probes capable of accurately detecting NO levels in mitochondria is essential for understanding disease mechanisms and clinical diagnostics.

A dual supersaturation recrystallization method was employed to synthesize water-stable, highly sensitive cesium-lead halide perovskite nanocrystals (CsPbBr PNCs). The PNCs exhibited excellent water stability, a significant photoluminescence quantum efficiency of 83.03%, along with a narrow full width at half maximum (FWHM) of 20 nm.

The present work focuses on the photophysical behavior of meso-N-butylcarbazole-substituted BODIPY (CBZ-BDP) in different organized media towards exploring the possible use of the dye as a molecular sensor and imaging agent. The molecule shows an appreciable change in absorption and emission spectra at 75% water-acetonitrile mixture compared to pure acetonitrile. In water-acetonitrile mixture, it displays aggregate-induced emission (AIE) bands.
