Conjugated polymer-enhanced enantioselectivity in fluorescent sensing.

ABSTRACT: A new strategy to use conjugated polymers to conduct fluorescent enhancement sensing has been developed. Chiral 1,1'-bi-2-naphthol-based binding sites are linked by p-phenylene units to construct a conjugated polymer whose fluorescence is quenched by the aldehyde groups introduced at each binding site. Interaction of this polymer with chiral amino alcohols in the presence of Zn(ii) leads to highly enantioselective fluorescent enhancement. It is found that the chiral conjugated polymer shows greatly enhanced enantioselectivity over the corresponding small molecular sensor under the same conditions. This work provides the first example that a conjugated polymer is used to greatly increase the enantioselectivity of a small molecular sensor in chiral recognition. Simultaneous determination of the concentration and enantiomeric composition of chiral substrates by a fluorescent measurement has been achieved by combining the polymer with salicylaldehyde in the assay.

Enhanced Nitric Oxide Sensing Performance of Conjugated Polymer Films through Incorporation of Graphitic Carbon Nitride.

Project description:Organic field-effect transistor (OFET) gas sensors based on conjugated polymer films have recently attracted considerable attention for use in environmental monitoring applications. However, the existing devices are limited by their poor sensing performance for gas analytes. This drawback is attributed to the low charge transport in and the limited charge-analyte interaction of the conjugated polymers. Herein, we demonstrate that the incorporation of graphitic carbon nitride (g-C₃N₄) into the conjugated polymer matrix can improve the sensing performance of OFET gas sensors. Moreover, the effect of graphitic carbon nitride (g-C₃N₄) on the gas sensing properties of OFET sensors based on poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT), a conjugated polymer, was systematically investigated by changing the concentration of the g-C₃N₄ in the P3HT/g-C₃N₄ composite films. The obtained films were applied in OFET to detect NO gas at room temperature. In terms of the results, first, the P3HT/g-C₃N₄ composite films containing 10 wt.% g-C₃N₄ exhibited a maximum charge carrier mobility of ~1.1 × 10-1 cm2 V-1 S-1, which was approximately five times higher than that of pristine P3HT films. The fabricated P3HT/g-C₃N₄ composite film based OFET sensors presented significantly enhanced NO gas sensing characteristics compared to those of the bare P3HT sensor. In particular, the sensors based on the P3HT/g-C₃N₄ (90/10) composite films exhibited the best sensing performance relative to that of the bare P3HT sensor when exposed to 10 ppm NO gas: responsivity = 40.6 vs. 18.1%, response time = 129 vs. 142 s, and recovery time = 148 vs. 162 s. These results demonstrate the enormous promise of g-C₃N₄ as a gas sensing material that can be hybridized with conjugated polymers to efficiently detect gas analytes.

Self-assembled conjugated polymer spheres as fluorescent microresonators.

Project description:Confinement of light inside an active medium cavity can amplify emission. Whispering gallery mode (WGM) is one of mechanisms that amplifies light effectively by confining it inside high-refractive-index microstructures, where light propagates along the circumference of a sphere via total internal reflection. Here we show that isolated single microspheres of 2-10 μm diameter, formed from self-assembly of π-conjugated alternating copolymers, display WGM photoemission induced by laser pumping. The wavelengths of the emission peaks depend sensitively on the sphere size, position of the excitation spot and refractive index of each polymer. The Q-factor increases with increasing sphere diameter and displays a linear correlation with the reciprocal radius, indicating that the small curvature increases the efficacy of the total internal reflection. WGM photoemission from π-conjugated polymer microspheres is unprecedented and may be of high technological impact since the microspheres fulfill the role of fluorophores, high-refractive-index media and resonators simultaneously, in addition to their simple fabrication process.

Enhanced optomechanical properties of mechanochemiluminescent poly(methyl acrylate) composites with granulated fluorescent conjugated microporous polymer fillers.

Project description:With the combination of mechanochemiluminescence from 1,2-dioxetane coupled polymers and granulated conjugated microporous polymer (CMP) nanosheets, a new kind of filling-type mechanolumninescent polymer composite was developed. Herein, polymeric 1,2-dioxetane performed as an autoluminescent probe of chain scission. Besides benefiting from their excellent optical properties and good interfacial compatibility with poly(methyl acrylate) (PMA) media, two stable and fluorescent CMP nanosheets were prepared and dispersed in crosslinked PMA, which can serve as effective energy acceptors and reinforcing nano-fillers. These polymer nanocomposites present both reinforced mechanical strength and mechanochemiluminescence, and offer exciting opportunities to study the failure process of polymer nanocomposites with unprecedented temporal and spatial resolution.

Fluorescent/phosphorescent dual-emissive conjugated polymer dots for hypoxia bioimaging.

Project description:A kind of fluorescent/phosphorescent dual-emissive conjugated polyelectrolyte has been prepared by introducing phosphorescent platinum(ii) porphyrin (O2-sensitive) into a fluorene-based conjugated polyelectrolyte (O2-insensitive), which can form ultrasmall conjugated polymer dots (FP-Pdots) in the phosphate buffer solution (PBS) via self-assembly caused by their amphiphilic structures with hydrophobic backbones and hydrophilic side chains. These FP-Pdots can exhibit an excellent ratiometric luminescence response to O2 content with high reliability and full reversibility for measuring oxygen levels, and the excellent intracellular ratiometric O2 sensing properties of the FP-Pdots nanoprobe have also been confirmed by the evident change in the Ired/Iblue ratio values in living cells cultured at different O2 concentrations. To confirm the reliability of the O2 sensing measurements of the FP-Pdots nanoprobe, O2 quenching experiments based on lifetime measurements of phosphorescence from Pt(ii) porphyrin moieties have also been carried out. Utilizing the sensitivity of the long phosphorescence lifetime from Pt(ii) porphyrins to oxygen, the FP-Pdots have been successfully applied in time-resolved luminescence imaging of intracellular O2 levels, including photoluminescence lifetime imaging and time-gated luminescence imaging, which will evidently improve the sensing sensitivity and reliability. Finally, in vivo oxygen sensing experiments were successfully performed by luminescence imaging of tumor hypoxia in nude mice.

A Fluorescent Linear Conjugated Polymer Constructed from Pillararene and Anthracene.

Project description:Over the past few years, conjugated polymers (CPs) have aroused much attention owing to their rigid conjugated structures, which can perform well in light harvesting and energy transfer and offer great potential in materials chemistry. In this article, we fabricate a new luminescent linear CP p(P[5](OTf)2-co-9,10-dea) via the Sonogashira coupling of 9,10-diethynylanthracene and trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride (OTf) modified pillar[5]arene, generating enhanced yellow-green fluorescence emission at around 552 nm. The reaction condition was screened to get a deeper understanding of this polymerization approach, resulting in an excellent yield as high as 92% ultimately. Besides the optical properties, self-assembly behaviors of the CP in low/high concentrations were studied, where interesting adjustable morphologies from tube to sheet were observed. In addition, the fluorescence performance and structural architecture can be disturbed by the host-guest reorganization between the host CP and the guest adiponitrile, suggesting great potential of this CP material in the field of sensing and detection.

Mechanism of cellular uptake of highly fluorescent conjugated polymer nanoparticles.

Project description:Conjugated polymer nanoparticles are formed by precipitation of highly fluorescent conjugated polymers to form small nanoparticles with extremely bright fluorescence. We characterized cellular uptake and cytotoxicity of 18 ± 5 nm PFBT conjugated polymer nanoparticles in J774A.1 cells. Significant nanoparticle uptake was observed, indicating efficient nanoparticle entry into cells, even for short (1 h) incubations. The high fluorescence of these nanoparticles allows extremely low loading concentrations; PFBT nanoparticle fluorescence in cells could be detected with loading concentrations of 155 pM (270 ppb). Cellular uptake slows at low temperature, consistent with endocytic entry. Nanoparticles colocalize with Texas Red dextran and are trafficked to lysosomes, as demonstrated by the location of nanoparticle fluorescence in perinuclear organelles that also stain with an anti-LAMP-1 antibody. Inhibition of uptake by phosphoinositide 3-kinase inhibitors implicates macropinocytosis as the operative endocytic mechanism. No significant cytotoxic or inflammatory effects could be observed, making PFBT nanoparticles attractive probes for live cell imaging.

Enhanced Enantioselectivity in the Fluorescent Recognition of a Chiral Diamine by Using a Bisbinaphthyl Dialdehyde.

Project description:A bisbinaphthyl dialdehyde shows greatly enhanced enantioselective fluorescent response (ef = 10.0) in the fluorescent recognition of a chiral diamine, 1,2-diphenylethylenediamine, over a previously reported monobinaphthyl dialdehyde (ef = 1.1). This compound can be used to determine the enantiomeric composition of the diamine by fluorescence measurement. The NMR and mass spectroscopic studies have demonstrated that the chirality matched reaction of the bisbinaphthyl dialdehyde with the diamine in the presence of Zn(OAc)2 favors the formation of a macrocyclic product more than the chirality mismatched. This enantioselective cyclocondensation should contribute to the observed highly enantioselective fluorescent response because the macrocyclic Zn(II) complex is proposed to give much greater fluorescence enhancement than the acyclic ones.

Bio-degradable highly fluorescent conjugated polymer nanoparticles for bio-medical imaging applications.

Project description:Conjugated polymer nanoparticles exhibit strong fluorescence and have been applied for biological fluorescence imaging in cell culture and in small animals. However, conjugated polymer particles are hydrophobic and often chemically inert materials with diameters ranging from below 50 nm to several microns. As such, conjugated polymer nanoparticles cannot be excreted through the renal system. This drawback has prevented their application for clinical bio-medical imaging. Here, we present fully conjugated polymer nanoparticles based on imidazole units. These nanoparticles can be bio-degraded by activated macrophages. Reactive oxygen species induce scission of the conjugated polymer backbone at the imidazole unit, leading to complete decomposition of the particles into soluble low molecular weight fragments. Furthermore, the nanoparticles can be surface functionalized for directed targeting. The approach opens a wide range of opportunities for conjugated polymer particles in the fields of medical imaging, drug-delivery, and theranostics.Conjugated polymer nanoparticles have been applied for biological fluorescence imaging in cell culture and in small animals, but cannot readily be excreted through the renal system. Here the authors show fully conjugated polymer nanoparticles based on imidazole units that can be bio-degraded by activated macrophages.

Conjugated polymer coating enabled light-resistant black phosphorus with enhanced stability.

Project description:As an advanced two-dimensional (2D) material with unique properties, black phosphorus (BP) has attracted great attention in a variety of fields. One of the main obstacles for the practical application of BP is the poor ambient stability of few-layer BP, especially under light irradiation. In this study, a light-absorbing conjugated polymer is functionalized on the surface of BP during the exfoliation process, yielding BP nanosheets with light-resistance. The obtained BP/polymer nanosheets demonstrate enhanced stability compared to pure BP under sunlight. Systematic characterization reveals that the crystal structure and electronic characteristics of BP are well retained after 30 days of sun exposure. This convenient and efficient conjugated polymer passivation provides a novel light-prohibited method to improve the stability of BP for future applications.
