Color-tunable single-fluorophore supramolecular system with assembly-encoded emission.

ABSTRACT: Regulating the fluorescent properties of organic small molecules in a controlled and dynamic manner has been a fundamental research goal. Although several strategies have been exploited, realizing multi-color molecular emission from a single fluorophore remains challenging. Herein, we demonstrate an emissive system by combining pyrene fluorophore and acylhydrazone units, which can generate multi-color switchable fluorescent emissions at different assembled states. Two kinds of supramolecular tools, amphiphilic self-assembly and ?-cyclodextrin mediated host-guest recognition, are used to manipulate the intermolecular aromatic stacking distances, resulting in the tunable fluorescent emission ranging from blue to yellow, including a pure white-light emission. Moreover, an external chemical signal, amylase, is introduced to control the assembly states of the system on a time scale, generating a distinct dynamic emission system. The dynamic properties of this multi-color fluorescent system can be also enabled in a hydrogel network, exhibiting a promising potential for intelligent fluorescent materials.

A color-tunable single-component luminescent molecule with multiple emission centers.

Project description:For achieving smart materials with color-tunable emissions, the development of single-component systems exhibiting high durability and stability is desired but remains challenging, in comparison to multicomponent systems. Here, a single-component luminescent molecule (3-SPhF) with colorful emissions is successfully reported through different expressions of triplet excitons in radiative transitions. The time-resolved spectra confirm the existence of delayed fluorescence (τ = 282.5 μs), monomeric phosphorescence (τ = 497.7 ms) and aggregated-state phosphorescence (τ = 230.0 ms) in the crystal powder of 3-SPhF, which affords time-dependent afterglow and excitation-dependent emissions in a steady state. Furthermore, the relationships between ultra-long luminescence and stacking of the dibenzofuran group in single crystals are explored, providing evidence for the regularity of multiple emission centers in single-component compounds with dibenzofuran substituents.

Multi-color tunable circularly polarized luminescence in one single AIE system.

Project description:Circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) materials with a large luminescence dissymmetry factor (g lum) and multi-color properties are very attractive. While multi-color tunable CPL can be realized by different organic dyes, the challenge of realizing both a higher g lum and multiple colors using a single component remains. Here, we design an aggregation-induced emission (AIE) fluorophore, which is a pyridine functionalized cyanostilbene attached to a chiral unit, and realize multi-color tunable CPL with a high g lum. The compound can self-assemble into a nanohelix and form both gel and xerogel films, exhibiting blue CPL with large g lum values of -3.0 × 10-2 and -1.7 × 10-2, respectively. With the assistance of pyridine protonation, the xerogel films exhibit red-shifted CPL signals from 480 nm to 530 nm, covering from blue via green and yellow to orange. Additionally, the g lum remains constant during the process. This work paves a simple and convenient way to construct multi-color tunable CPL materials using a single molecule.

A Binary Supramolecular Assembly with Intense Fluorescence Emission, High pH Stability, and Cation Selectivity: Supramolecular Assembly-Induced Emission Materials.

Project description:We construct a fluorescent supramolecular system (TPE-Q4 ⊂ DSP5) of excellent tolerance to a wide range of pH by the facile self-assembly of a new pillar[5]arene bearing disulfonated arms (DSP5) with an AIE-active tetraphenylethene-based tetratopic guest bearing four quaternary ammonium binding sites (TPE-Q4), which exhibits strong blue emission even in dilute aqueous solutions along with much higher quantum yield and longer fluorescence lifetime than TPE-Q4 itself. This appreciable property can be attributed to the supramolecular assembly-induced emission (SAIE) mechanism endowed by the host-guest inclusion complexation based on synthetic macrocycles. Remarkably, the enhanced fluorescence of the supramolecular assembly is quenched efficiently and exclusively by ferric ions in water with a high Stern-Volmer formula constant of 1.3 × 105 mol-1, demonstrating the excellent cation selectivity and visualized responsiveness in ion sensing and detection.

Metallacycle-cored supramolecular assemblies with tunable fluorescence including white-light emission.

Project description:Control over the fluorescence of supramolecular assemblies is crucial for the development of chemosensors and light-emitting materials. Consequently, the postsynthetic modification of supramolecular structures via host-guest interactions has emerged as an efficient strategy in recent years that allows the facile tuning of the photophysical properties without requiring a tedious chemical synthesis. Herein, we used a phenanthrene-21-crown-7 (P21C7)-based 60° diplatinum(II) acceptor 8 in the construction of three exohedral P21C7 functionalized rhomboidal metallacycles 1-3 which display orange, cyan, and green emission colors, respectively. Although these colors originate from the dipyridyl precursors 10-12, containing triphenylamine-, tetraphenylethene-, and pyrene-based fluorophores, respectively, the metal-ligand coordination strongly influences their emission properties. The metallacycles were further linked into emissive supramolecular oligomers by the addition of a fluorescent bis-ammonium linker 4 that forms complementary host-guest interactions with the pendant P21C7 units. Notably, the final ensemble derived from a 1:1 mixture of 1 and 4 displays a concentration-dependent emission. At low concentration, i.e., <25 µM, it emits a blue color, whereas an orange emission was observed when the concentration exceeds >5 mM. Moreover, white-light emission was observed from the same sample at a concentration of 29 µM, representing a pathway to construct supramolecular assemblies with tunable fluorescence properties.

Cross-talk-free multi-color STORM imaging using a single fluorophore.

Project description:Multi-color stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy (STORM) is routinely performed; however, the various approaches for achieving multiple colors have important caveats. Color cross-talk, limited availability of spectrally distinct fluorophores with optimal brightness and duty cycle, incompatibility of imaging buffers for different fluorophores, and chromatic aberrations impact the spatial resolution and ultimately the number of colors that can be achieved. We overcome these complexities and develop a simple approach for multi-color STORM imaging using a single fluorophore and sequential labelling. In addition, we present a simple and versatile method to locate the same region of interest on different days and even on different microscopes. In combination, these approaches enable cross-talk-free multi-color imaging of sub-cellular structures.

Single-fluorophore membrane transport activity sensors with dual-emission read-out.

Project description:We recently described a series of genetically encoded, single-fluorophore-based sensors, termed AmTrac and MepTrac, which monitor membrane transporter activity in vivo (De Michele et al., 2013). However, being intensiometric, AmTrac and Meptrac are limited in their use for quantitative studies. Here, we characterized the photophysical properties (steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy as well as anisotropy decay analysis) of different AmTrac sensors with diverging fluorescence properties in order to generate improved, ratiometric sensors. By replacing key amino acid residues in AmTrac we constructed a set of dual-emission AmTrac sensors named deAmTracs. deAmTracs show opposing changes of blue and green emission with almost doubled emission ratio upon ammonium addition. The response ratio of the deAmTracs correlated with transport activity in mutants with altered capacity. Our results suggest that partial disruption of distance-dependent excited-state proton transfer is important for the successful generation of single-fluorophore-based dual-emission sensors.

Photoluminescence and Stoichiometry Correlation in Nanocrystalline EuO x Thin Films: Tunable Color Emission.

Project description:The development of broadband and ultracompact optoelectronic devices relies on the possibility of fabricating bright and tunable emitters at the nanoscale. Here, we show emission from EuO x (1 ? x < 1.4) thin films on silicon formed by nanocrystals with average sizes in the range of 5 nm. The photoluminescence emission of the nano-EuO x films is tunable as a function of the oxygen concentration changing from a green broadband Eu2+-related emission to a narrow red Eu3+-related emission. To reach these results has been instrumental through the use of a new methodology specially designed to achieve high-quality europium oxide films whose compositional properties are controlled by the growth base pressure and preserved thanks to a chemically stable and transparent cover layer of Al2O3. Our findings confirm the outstanding potential of nanostructured EuO x films as "one-compound" optical elements with tunable emission properties for their implementation in integrated silicon-based devices.

Color-encoded single-shot computer-generated Moire profilometry.

Project description:A color-encoded single-shot computer-generated Moiré profilometry (CSCGMP) is proposed. Two sinusoidal gratings with a π phase difference are encoded in red and blue channels respectively to combine a composite color grating. While this composite color grating is projected onto the measured object, the corresponding color deformed pattern can be captured. So two deformed patterns with a π phase difference are separated from its red and blue components respectively. After normalization and subtraction, the AC component of both separated deformed patterns can be extracted. If this AC component respectively multiplied by the two AC components of fringe patterns of reference plane with a π/2 phase difference prepared and saved on the computer in advance, two computer-generated Moiré fringes just respectively standing for sine and cosine of phase which is modulated by the height of the object relative to the reference plane are figured out. So the 3D shape of the measured object can be reconstructed with normal computer-generated Moiré profilometry. Both simulation and experimental results show the feasibility and validity of the proposed method. It has potential in real-time 3D measurement due to its single-shot feature.

Organic solid fluorophores regulated by subtle structure modification: color-tunable and aggregation-induced emission.

Project description:Organic solid fluorophores with a tunable emission color have been widely applied in multiple areas. However, rational design and efficient crafting of these fluorophores from a simple core skeleton is still a formidable challenge because of the undesirable concentration quenching emission effect. Herein, we present the development of two series of organic solid fluorophores based on a backbone of p-bis(2,2-dicyanovinyl)benzene. Notably, the introduction of either non-aromatic or aromatic substituents provides fluorophores with a tunable emission color. Moreover, the fluorophores with aromatic substituents exhibit additional unique optical phenomena, such as aggregation-induced emission, polymorphism-dependent emission, and reversible mechanochromic luminescence.

Time-encoded bio-fluorochromic supramolecular co-assembly for rewritable security printing.

Project description:Innovative fluorescence security technologies for paper-based information are still highly pursued nowadays because data leakage and indelibility have become serious economic and social problems. Herein, we report a novel transient bio-fluorochromic supramolecular co-assembly mediated by a hydrolytic enzyme (ALP: alkaline phosphatase) towards rewritable security printing. A co-assembly based on the designed tetrabranched cationic diethynylanthracene monomer tends to be formed by adding adenosine triphosphate (ATP) as the biofuel. The resulting co-assembly possesses a time-encoded bio-fluorochromic feature, upon successively hydrolyzing ATP with ALP and re-adding new batches of ATP. On this basis, the dynamic fluorescent properties of this time-encoded co-assembly system have been successfully enabled in rewritable security patterns via an inkjet printing technique, providing fascinating potential for fluorescence security materials with a biomimetic mode.
