Aggregation-Induced Emission-Based Material for Selective and Sensitive Recognition of Cyanide Anions in Solution and Biological Assays.

ABSTRACT: Cyanide is one of the highly poisonous pollutants to our environment and toxic to human health. It is important to develop the widely applicable methods for their recognition to secure safe uses for people coming into contact and handling cyanide and their derivatives. In this regard, the aggregation-induced emission materials possess high potential for the development of simple, fast, and convenient methods for cyanide detection through either "turn-off" or "turn-on". Among the AIE-based materials, tetraphenylethylene is a promising sensor for various sensing applications. In this paper, we have designed and synthesized a TPE-based chemosensor, which shows high sensitivity and displays good selectivity for cyanide (CN^-) over others in the presence of interfering Cl^-, I^-, F^-, Br^-, HSO₄ ^-, H₂PO₄ ^-, NO₃ ^-, HCO₃ ^-, and ClO₄ ^- anions employed. The naked-eye, UV-vis, and fluorescence methods are employed to evaluate the performance of probe 1 toward CN^- detection. From these experiments, CN^- ions can be detected with a limit of detection as low as 67 nM, which is comparatively lower than that of the World Health Organization (WHO) permissible limit of the cyanide anion, that is, 1.9 μM. From the Job's plot, the 1:1 stoichiometric complexation reaction between probe 1 and CN^- was found. The probe was efficiently applied for the detection of CN^- ions using a paper strip method. The probe 1 also showed the potential of detecting CN^- ions in various food items and in the cell line.

Mulifunctional Dendritic Emitter: Aggregation-Induced Emission Enhanced, Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescent Material for Solution-Processed Multilayered Organic Light-Emitting Diodes.

Project description:Thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) materials emerged as promising light sources in third generation organic light-emitting diodes (OLED). Much effort has been invested for the development of small molecular TADF materials and vacuum process-based efficient TADF-OLEDs. In contrast, a limited number of solution processable high-molecular weight TADF materials toward low cost, large area, and scalable manufacturing of solution processed TADF-OLEDs have been reported so far. In this context, we report benzophenone-core carbazole dendrimers (GnB, n = generation) showing TADF and aggregation-induced emission enhancement (AIEE) properties along with alcohol resistance enabling further solution-based lamination of organic materials. The dendritic structure was found to play an important role for both TADF and AIEE activities in the neat films. By using these multifunctional dendritic emitters as non-doped emissive layers, OLED devices with fully solution processed organic multilayers were successfully fabricated and achieved maximum external quantum efficiency of 5.7%.

Visualizing Material Processing via Photoexcitation-Controlled Organic-Phase Aggregation-Induced Emission.

Project description:Aggregation-induced emission (AIE) has been much employed for visualizing material aggregation and self-assembly. However, water is generally required for the preparation of the AIE aggregates, the operation of which limits numerous material processing behaviors. Employing hexathiobenzene-based small molecules, monopolymers, and block copolymers as different material prototypes, we herein achieve AIE in pure organic phases by applying a nonequilibrium strategy, photoexcitation-controlled aggregation. This strategy enabled a dynamic change of molecular conformation rather than chemical structure upon irradiation, leading to a continuous aggregation-dependent luminescent enhancement (up to ~200-fold increase of the luminescent quantum yield) in organic solvents. Accompanied by the materialization of the nonequilibrium strategy, photoconvertible self-assemblies with a steady-state characteristic can be achieved upon organic solvent processing. The visual monitoring with the luminescence change covered the whole solution-to-film transition, as well as the in situ photoprocessing of the solid-state materials.

Synthesis of Novel Biocompatible Thienopyrimidine Chromophores with Aggregation-Induced Emission Sensitive to Molecular Aggregation.

Project description:Biocompatible luminogens with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) have several applications in the biology field, such as in detecting biomacromolecules bioprobes and in bio-imaging. Due to their bioactivities and light-emitting properties, many heterocyclic compounds are good candidates for such applications. However, heterocyclic π-conjugated systems with AIE behavior remain rare as strong intermolecular π-π interactions usually quench their emission. In this work, new thienopyrimidine heterocyclic compounds were synthesized and their structures were verified by elemental analysis and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and 13C NMR spectra. The photophysical properties of some compounds were investigated in the solution and solid states. Density functional theory calculations were also performed to confirm the observed photophysical properties of the compounds. The studied dyes displayed AIE properties with spectral shapes related to the aggregate structure and a quantum yield up to 10.8%. The emission efficiency of the powder is attributed to the incorporation of multiply rotatable and twisted aryl groups to the fused heterocyclic moieties. The dyes also showed high thermal stability and potent antimicrobial activities against numerous bacterial and fungal strains. Additionally, the cytotoxicity of the new compounds was evaluated against the Caco-2 cell line, and molecular docking was used to investigate the binding conformation of the most effective compound with the MNK2 enzyme. Therefore, the presented structures may potentially be used for bioapplications.

Direct observation of long-lived cyanide anions in superexcited states.

Project description:The cyanide anion (CN-) has been identified in cometary coma, interstellar medium, planetary atmosphere and circumstellar envelopes, but its origin and abundance are still disputed. An isolated CN- is stabilized in the vibrational states up to ν = 17 of the electronic ground-state 1Σ+, but it is not thought to survive in the electronic or vibrational states above the electron autodetachment threshold, namely, in superexcited states. Here we report the direct observation of long-lived CN- yields of the dissociative electron attachment to cyanogen bromide (BrCN), and confirm that some of the CN- yields are distributed in the superexcited vibrational states ν ≥ 18 (1Σ+) or the superexcited electronic states 3Σ+ and 3Π. The triplet state can be accessed directly in the impulsive dissociation of BrCN- or by an intersystem transition from the superexcited vibrational states of CN-. The exceptional stability of CN- in the superexcited states profoundly influences its abundance and is potentially related to the production of other compounds in interstellar space.

Environment-sensitive emission of anionic hydrogen-bonded urea-derivative-acetate-ion complexes and their aggregation-induced emission enhancement.

Project description:Anions often quench fluorescence (FL). However, strong ionic hydrogen bonding between fluorescent dyes and anion molecules has the potential to control the electronic state of FL dyes, creating new functions via non-covalent interactions. Here, we propose an approach, utilising ionic hydrogen bonding between urea groups and anions, to control the electronic states of fluorophores and develop an aggregation-induced emission enhancement (AIEE) system. The AIEE ionic hydrogen-bonded complex (IHBC) formed between 1,8-diphenylnaphthalene (p-2Urea), with aryl urea groups at the para-positions on the peri-phenyl rings, and acetate ions exhibits high environmental sensitivities in solution phases, and the FL quantum yield (QY) in ion-pair assemblies of the IHBC and tetrabutylammonium cations is more than five times higher than that of the IHBC in solution. Our versatile and simple approach for the design of AIEE dye facilitates the future development of environment-sensitive probes and solid-state emitting materials.

Biological hydrogen cyanide emission globally impacts the physiology of both HCN-emitting and HCN-perceiving <i>Pseudomonas</i>.

Project description:ImportanceBacteria communicate by exchanging chemical signals, some of which are volatile and can remotely reach other organisms. HCN was one of the first volatiles discovered to severely impact exposed organisms by inhibiting their respiration. Using HCN-deficient mutants in two Pseudomonas strains, we demonstrate that HCN's impact goes beyond the sole inhibition of respiration and affects both emitting and receiving bacteria in a global way, modulating their motility, biofilm formation, and production of antimicrobial compounds. Our data suggest that bacteria could use HCN not only to control their own cellular functions, but also to remotely influence the behavior of other bacteria sharing the same environment. Since HCN emission occurs in both clinically and environmentally relevant Pseudomonas, these findings are important to better understand or even modulate the expression of bacterial traits involved in both virulence of opportunistic pathogens and in biocontrol efficacy of plant-beneficial strains.

Functional Poly(dihalopentadiene)s: Stereoselective Synthesis, Aggregation-Enhanced Emission and Sensitive Detection of Explosives.

Project description:The development of polymeric materials with novel structures and unique properties and functionalities is of both academic and industrial significance. In this work, functional poly(dihalopentadiene)s were synthesized by boron trihalide-mediated multicomponent polymerization routes in a stereoselective manner. The polymerizations of tetraphenylethylene-containing diyne, BX₃ (X = Cl, Br) and p-tolualdehyde proceed smoothly in dichloromethane under mild conditions to afford high molecular weight poly(dihalopentadiene)s with a predominant (Z,Z)-configuration in moderate to good yields. The reaction conditions and the boron trihalide used were found to have great effects on the stereochemistry of the resulting polymer structures. The obtained poly(1,5-dihalo-(Z,Z)-1,4-pentadiene)s possess high thermal stability and good film-forming ability. Their thin films show high refractive index of 1.9007⁻1.6462 in a wide wavelength region of 380⁻890 nm with low optical dispersion. The polymers are weakly emissive in dilute solutions but become highly emissive upon aggregated, demonstrating a unique phenomenon of aggregation-enhanced emission. Their nanoaggregates in aqueous media can serve as sensitive fluorescent chemosensors for the detection of explosives with a superamplification effect and a low detection limit.

Aggregation induced emission based fluorenes as dual-channel fluorescent probes for rapid detection of cyanide: applications of smartphones and logic gates.

Project description:Rational modification of molecular structure by incorporating electron donating groups can play a potential role for designing aggregation induced emission (AIE) active fluorescent probes. Based on this principle, fluorescent probes (1a-c) were synthesized, and they displayed excellent aggregation induced emission (AIE) behavior in a H2O/DMF (4 : 1, v/v) mixture due to restrictions in intramolecular charge transfer (ICT). As a comparison, probe 1d was synthesized by installing an electron withdrawing (-NO2) group that surprisingly quenched the aggregation behaviour. Additionally, AIE active probes 1a-c displayed a highly sensitive dual channel (fluorometric and colorimetric) response towards rapid detection of CN-, which is an active toxic material. Probes 1a-c showed selectively enhanced fluorescence emission behavior towards CN- with detection limits of 1.34 ppb, 1.38 ppb, and 1.54 ppb, respectively. The sensing mechanism involves Michael type adduct formation due to the nucleophilic addition reaction of cyanide with probes and was confirmed through 1H NMR titration experiments. In contrast, probe 1d containing an electron withdrawing moiety showed insensitivity towards CN-. Therefore, this study provides the efficient strategy to induce AIE character in fluorescent probes and expands the mechanistic approach toward the sensing of toxic CN-.

Biological Synthesis and Process Monitoring of an Aggregation-Induced Emission Luminogen-Based Fluorescent Polymer.

Project description:As the most abundant and renewable biopolymer on earth, cellulose can be functionalized for various advanced applications by chemical modification. In addition, fluorescent polymers with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) are generally prepared using chemical approaches, and the biosynthesis of AIE-active polymers are rarely investigated. Herein, fluorescent cellulose was successfully synthesized by bacterial fermentation, where glucosamine-modified AIE luminogen was incorporated into cellulose to achieve AIE-active biopolymers. Excitingly, real-time visualization of the synthetic process was realized, which is crucial for investigating the process of bacterial fermentation. The biosynthesized cellulose exhibited better performance with uniform fluorescence distribution and high stability, compared with that prepared by physical absorption. Additionally, fluorescent mats were fabricated by electrospinning of AIE-active cellulose, demonstrating its great potential applications in flexible display and tissue engineering.

Redox-sensitive polymeric micelles with aggregation-induced emission for bioimaging and delivery of anticancer drugs.

Project description:BackgroundNano-drug delivery systems show considerable promise for effective cancer therapy. Polymeric micelles have attracted extensive attention as practical nanocarriers for target drug delivery and controlled drug delivery system, however, the distribution of micelles and the release of the drug are difficult to trace in cancer cells. Therefore, the construction of a redox-sensitive multifunctional drug delivery system for intelligent release of anticancer drugs and simultaneous diagnostic imaging and therapy remains an attractive research subject.ResultsTo construct a smart drug delivery system for simultaneous imaging and cancer chemotherapy, mPEG-ss-Tripp was prepared and self-assembled into redox-sensitive polymeric micelles with a diameter of 105 nm that were easily detected within cells using confocal laser scanning microscopy based on aggregation-induced emission. Doxorubicin-loaded micelles rapidly released the drug intracellularly when GSH reduced the disulfide bond. The drug-loaded micelles inhibited tumor xenografts in mice, while this efficacy was lower without the GSH-responsive disulfide bridge. These results establish an innovative multi-functional polymeric micelle for intracellular imaging and redox-triggered drug deliver to cancer cells.ConclusionsA novel redox-sensitive drug delivery system with AIE property was constructed for simultaneous cellular imaging and intelligent drug delivery and release. This smart drug delivery system opens up new possibilities for multifunctional drug delivery systems.
