The fluorescent vesicles based on lanthanide ions are considered as an ideal biomimetic optical nanoplatform for simulating biological processes of cell membrane. However, the accurately and controllably adjusting the size of vesicles based on lanthanides while ensuring their fluorescence performance and stability still remains a challenge. Herein, a dual-stimuli-responsive fluorescent supramolecular vesicle with tunable size has been designed based on host-guest interaction and coordinating aggregation. Europium complexes can be encapsulated within supramolecular assemblies by assembling with polypseudorotaxanes (PPRs), which are formed by F127 and carboxymethyl-β-cyclodextrin (CMCD) through host-guest interaction. The fluorescence properties of the europium complexes have been significantly enhanced by confining and shielding them within vesicles. Upon the addition of α-amylase and HCl, the fluorescence intensity of the vesicles will gradually and significantly quench as a result of CMCD degradation and dissociation of the europium complexes. This research presents a convenient method for regulating the size of lanthanide fluorescent vesicles, and the supramolecular vesicles obtained with multi-stimuli response are anticipated to be utilized in the diagnosis of relevant diseases and targeted drug delivery.

Due to their exceptional anisotropic magnetic properties, lanthanide ion (Ln) complexes are of great utility in many fields of chemistry, including magnetic materials, biomedical imaging, and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. How to achieve large magnetic anisotropies in the Ln complexes coordinated with open-chain ligands is still a challenge. In this study, we started from the open-chain 4PS-PyMTA ligand and assessed the magnetic anisotropy using installed Ln coordinating pendants by increasing size and rigidity.

The synthesis and characterizations of two new complexes, [Sm(btfa)Cl-terp] (SmCHFONCl) and [Eu(btfa)Cl-terp] (EuCHFONCl) were done successfully. The complexes have nona-coordinate Sm and Eu centres coordinated to six oxygen atoms of benzoyltrifluoro acetone (btfa) and three nitrogen atoms of chloro-terpyridine (Cl-terp). The ground state geometry of both complexes was optimized using the sparkle model and the shape analysis was carried out using SHAPE v2.

The global surge in diabetes mellitus (DM) and its associated complications has prompted significant efforts to mitigate this growing public health challenge. Among these complications, diabetic nephropathy (DN) is of particular concern due to its high rates of morbidity and mortality. Extensive research has identified methylglyoxal (MGO) and MGO-derived advanced glycation end products (AGEs) as critical contributors to the pathogenesis of DN.

Adenosine diphosphate (ADP) is a key product of two essential classes of biological reactions, catalysed by ATPases and kinases. This makes ADP a highly appealing target for supramolecular detection. However, doing so selectively is exceedingly difficult due to ADP's lower overall charge and similar structure to ATP and the need for compatibility with biological media.
