Lanthanide-based luminescent materials hold promise in sensing applications due to their distinct optical properties. Though advancements in lanthanide-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have enhanced downshifting luminescence, achieving upconversion remains challenging. In this effort, we prepared upconverting ytterbium-doped europium MOFs (%Yb-EuMOFs; = 10, 20, and 30) via the solvothermal method using 2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid (NDC) as an organic linker. Upconversion (UC) luminescence studies revealed that 30%Yb-EuMOF () rapidly detects malachite green (MG, a textile dye) and brilliant green (BG, a food colorant) with excellent sensitivity (λ = 980 nm). Notably, UC luminescence offers a lower detection limit (MG: 36.33 nM, BG: 287.9 nM) compared to the downconverting sensing approach (λ 270 nm), while the related dual-mode luminescence minimizes the risk of false positives from interfering ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) light-absorbing substances. Upconversion quenching has been linked to the FRET process, with its luminescence assay accurately detecting MG in fish, water, and soil samples under 980 nm excitation (98-105% recovery).

Near-infrared (NIR) chemiluminescent probes have attracted increasing attention in recent years due to their attractive properties for imaging. Herein, we developed a NIR chemiluminophore silicon rhodamine (SiRCL-1) based on the intramolecular energy transfer process from excited state benzoate to a silicon rhodamine emitter under aqueous conditions. SiRCL-1 exhibited dual emission peaks at 540 nm and 680 nm with a high signal penetration through tissue at 680 nm (>30 mm) and long-lasting luminescence (>50 min), demonstrating its significance as a chemiluminescence scaffold for biological application.

The synthesis of novel highly phosphorescent N^C^N tridentate platinum(II)-complex-peptide nucleic acid (PNA) bioconjugates was accomplished through the solid-phase approach. Melting temperature measurements and circular dichroism spectroscopy studies demonstrated that these conjugates maintain the PNA ability to recognize complementary ssDNA and ssRNA, though the length of the spacer between the metal center and the PNA sequence affects their hybridization properties. Noteworthy, the conjugation of PNA to this family of Pt(II) complexes significantly enhanced the luminescent features of the organometallic moiety, leading to increased quantum yields (82.

Organic red/near-infrared (NIR) room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) holds significant potential for autofluorescence-free bioimaging and biosensing due to its prolonged persistent luminescence and exceptional penetrability. However, achieving activatable red/NIR organic RTP probes with tunable emission in aqueous solution remains a formidable challenge. Here we report on aqueous organic RTP probes with red/NIR phosphorescence intensity and lifetime amplification.
