113Cd-n.m.r. studies were used to investigate the binding of the lanthanide ions La3+, Gd3+, Tb3+, Yb3+ and Lu3+ to parvalbumins. It was shown that lanthanide ions with a smaller ionic radius bind sequentially to Cd2+-saturated parvalbumin, whereas those with a larger ionic radius bind with similar affinity to both the CD site and the EF site. The smallest ion, Lu3+, does in fact not compete significantly with Cd2+ for the CD site in carp parvalbumin, but appears to bind only to the EF site. This preference of the smaller lanthanide ions for the EF site was used to assign the n.m.r. signals for protein-bound 113Cd. By using Cd n.m.r. and Tb3+ fluorescence it was also shown for alpha-lineage parvalbumin from pike that these proteins possess a third site that can bind lanthanide ions. This site is, however, much weaker than in the beta-lineage parvalbumins. It was used to assign the 113Cd resonances from protein-bound Cd2+ ions in the spectrum of pike pI5.0 parvalbumin.

A sensitized dual-response ratiometric fluorescent sensor integrated smartphone platform for accurate discrimination and detection of tetracycline homologues based on N-CDs‒Eu complex.

Mikrochim Acta

Key Laboratory of Environmental Remediation and Ecological Health, Ministry of Education, College of Environmental and Resource Sciences, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, 310058, China.

A sensitized dual-response ratiometric fluorescent sensor integrated smartphone platform for accurate discrimination and detection of tetracycline (TC) homologues was fabricated based on N-CDs-Eu complex. In the sensing system, N-CDs act as a sensitizer of Eu and significantly enhance the fluorescence of TC-Eu complex approximate 40-fold owing to the synergistic effect of antenna effect (AE) and fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET). A paper sensor integrated with a smartphone platform is further fabricated for on-site measurement of TC.

Fe, Ni, and Cu doped ceria nanoparticles (CeNPs) were prepared with a simple and one-pot hydrothermal synthesis method. We investigated the chemiluminescence (CL) interaction between these NPs and rhodamine B (Rh B) and found that the highest CL intensity was related to the Rh B- Cu doped CeNPs. We assigned that to the higher catalytic property of Cu doped NPs compared to the others.

The widespread use of neodymium-iron-boron (NdFeB) magnets has raised concerns about the environmental impact of their disposal, prompting the need for sustainable recycling strategies. Traditional solvents used in recycling are toxic and flammable, making them risky to use. Ionic liquids are safer and greener options with low vapor pressure, high stability, and less flammability.

Mechanoluminescence from Organic-Inorganic Metal Halide Perovskite Derivative.

Metal halide perovskites and their derivatives are gaining significant attention as photoluminescent materials due to their exceptional light-emitting properties. However, most research has concentrated on electroluminescence and photoluminescence, there remains a substantial gap in the exploration of mechanoluminescence (ML) properties in perovskites, making this field largely uncharted. ML is an ancient and intriguing luminescent phenomenon that occurs when a material is subjected to mechanical forces.

Enhanced upconversion and photoconductive nanocomposites of lanthanide-doped nanoparticles functionalized with low-vibrational-energy inorganic ligands.

Nanoscale Horiz

Upconverting nanoparticles (UCNPs) convert near-infrared (IR) light into higher-energy visible light, allowing them to be used in applications such as biological imaging, nano-thermometry, and photodetection. It is well known that the upconversion luminescent efficiency of UCNPs can be enhanced by using a host material with low phonon energies, but the use of low-vibrational-energy inorganic ligands and non-epitaxial shells has been relatively underexplored. Here, we investigate the functionalization of lanthanide-doped NaYF UCNPs with low-vibrational-energy SnS ligands.
