Reversal of a Fluorescent Fluoride Chemosensor from Turn-Off to Turn-On Based on Aggregation Induced Emission Properties.

ABSTRACT: Here we present a new approach for the development of fluoride chemosensors taking advantage of aggregation induced emission (AIE) properties. Although AIE-based chemosensors have been described, they rely primarily on the analyte causing aggregation and hence fluorescence. We propose a new concept in the use of AIE for the development of fluorescent sensors. Our hypothesis is based on the fact that a turn-off chemosensor in solution can be transformed into turn-on in the solid state if the properties of ACQ and AIE are properly combined between the fluorescent molecules involved. To demonstrate this hypothesis, we have selected a fluorescent chemosensor for the fluoride anion with a conjugated structure of bis(styryl)pyrimidine that, while showing turn-off behavior in solution, becomes turn-on when it is brought to the solid state. We have also combined it with the advantages of a detection system based on the microfluidic paper-based analytical devices (μPAD). The system is fully characterized spectroscopically both in solution and in the solid state, and quantum mechanical calculations were performed to explain how the sensor works. The prepared device presents a high sensitivity, with no interference and with an LoD and LoQ that allow determination of fluoride concentrations in water 2 orders of magnitude below the maximum allowed by WHO.

A "Turn-On" fluorescent probe for sensitive and selective detection of fluoride ions based on aggregation-induced emission.

Project description:Based on the fluorophore of 2-(2'-hydroxyphenyl)benzothiazole (HBT) with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) properties, a highly selective and sensitive fluorescent probe PBT towards F- was investigated. "Turn-On" fluorescence type signaling was realized by employing fluoride-selective cleavage of the latent thiophosphinated probe in mixed aqueous media. The probe is designed in such a way that the excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) of the HBT moiety becomes blocked. The chemodosimetric approach of F- to the probe results in the recovery of the ESIPT by removal of a free AIE-active HBT moiety through a subsequent hydrolysis process. The F- detection limit of the probe was 3.8 nM in the dynamic range of 0.5 μM to 10 μM. In addition, the proposed probe has been used to detect F- in water samples and toothpaste samples with satisfying results.

Aggregation-induced emission effect on turn-off fluorescent switching of a photochromic diarylethene.

Project description:Background: Diarylethenes are well-known photochromic compounds, which undergo cyclization and cycloreversion reactions between open- and closed-ring isomers. Recently, diarylethene derivatives with photoswitchable fluorescent properties were prepared. They are applicable for fluorescence imaging including bio-imaging. On the other hand, a new system called "excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT)" is reported. In the system, absorption and emission bands are largely separated due to the proton transfer, hence it showed strong fluorescence even in the crystalline state. We aimed to construct the photochromic system incorporating the ESIPT mechanism. Results: A diarylethene incorporating a fluorescent moiety that exhibit ESIPT behavior was prepared. The ESIPT is one of the examples which express the mechanisms of aggregation-induced emission (AIE). This compound emits orange fluorescence with a large Stokes shift derived from ESIPT in aprotic solvents such as THF or hexane, while it exhibits only a photochromic reaction in protic solvents such as methanol. In addition, it shows turn-off type fluorescence switching in an aprotic solvent and in crystals. The fluorescence is quenched as the content of closed-ring isomers increases upon UV light irradiation. Conclusions: A diarylethene containing an ESIPT functional group was prepared. It showed fluorescent turn-off behavior during photochromism in aprotic solvents as well as in crystalline state upon UV light irradiation. Furthermore, it showed AIE in THF/water mixtures with blue-shift of the emission.

Non-aromatic annulene-based aggregation-induced emission system via aromaticity reversal process.

Project description:Aggregation-induced emission (AIE) is a photophysical phenomenon correlated closely with the excited-state intramolecular motions. Although AIE has attracted increasing attention due to the significant applications in biomedical and optoelectronics, an in-depth understanding of the excited-state intramolecular motion has yet to be fully developed. Here we found the non-aromatic annulene derivative of cyclooctatetrathiophene shows typical AIE phenomenon in spite of its rotor-free structure. The underlying mechanism is investigated through photoluminescence spectra, time-resolved absorption spectra, theoretical calculations, circular dichroism as well as by pressure-dependent fluorescent spectra etc., which indicate that the aromaticity reversal from ground state to the excited state serves as a driving force for inducing the excited-state intramolecular vibration, leading to the AIE phenomenon. Therefore, aromaticity reversal is demonstrated as a reliable strategy to develop vibrational AIE systems. This work also provides a new viewpoint to understand the excited-state intramolecular motion behavior of lumiongens.

A Vibration-Induced-Emission-Based Fluorescent Chemosensor for the Selective and Visual Recognition of Glucose.

Project description:The development of chemosensors to detect analytes in biologically relevant solutions is a challenging task. We report the synthesis of a fluorescent receptor that combines vibration-induced emission (VIE) and dynamic covalent chemistry for the detection of glucose in aqueous media. We show that the bis-2-(N-methylaminomethyl)phenylboronic acid-decorated N,N'-diphenyl-dihydrodibenzo[a,c]phenazine (DPAC) receptor 1 can detect glucose and discriminate between closely related monosaccharides including those commonly found in blood. Preliminary studies suggest monosaccharides bind to the DPAC-receptor with a 1:1 stoichiometry to produce pseudomacrocyclic complexes, which in turn leads to distinct optical changes in the fluorescent emission of the receptor for each host. Moreover, the complexation-induced change in emission can be detected visually and quantified in a ratiometric way. Our results highlight the potential of VIE-type receptors for the quantitative determination of saccharides in biological samples.

A new fluorescent chemosensor for fluoride anion based on a pyrrole-isoxazole derivative.

Project description:Molecules containing polarized NH fragments that behave as anion-binding motifs are widely used as receptors for recognition and sensing purposes in aprotic solvents. We present here a new example of a receptor, 3-amino-5-(4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1H-indol-2-yl)isoxazole-4-carboxamide (receptor 1), which contains pyrrole, amide and amino subunits. This receptor shows both changes in its UV-vis absorption and fluorescence emission spectra upon the addition of F(-), resulting in highly selectivity for fluoride detection over other anions, such as Cl(-), Br(-), I(-), HSO(4) (-), H(2)PO(4) (-) and AcO(-) in CH(3)CN. (1)H NMR titration, time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) calculations and other experiments confirm that the sensing process is brought about by deprotonation of the pyrrole-NH in receptor 1.

Lipofection with estrone-based luminophores featuring aggregation-induced emission properties.

Project description:In this communication we present the use of a novel class of luminophores with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) properties based on the steroid estrone. These molecules were equipped with cationic residues yielding amphiphiles suitable for lipofection. To this end, self-assembled luminescent structures were formed in aqueous media and mixed with a red-fluorescent protein expressing plasmid, yielding lipoplexes with increased emission intensity. These luminescent lipoplexes were able to efficiently transfect HeLa and HEK 293T cells and were able to be tracked due to the aggregation induced-emission properties.

A Highly Selective and Sensitive Turn-On Fluorescent Chemosensor Based on Rhodamine 6G for Iron(III).

Project description:Recently, more and more rhodamine derivatives have been used as fluorophores to construct sensors due to their excellent spectroscopic properties. A rhodamine-based fluorescent and colorimetric Fe(3+) chemosensor 3',6'-bis(ethylamino)-2-acetoxyl-2',7'-dimethyl-spiro[1H-isoindole-1,9'-[9H]xanthen]-3(2H)-one (RAE) was designed and synthesized. Upon the addition of Fe(3+), the dramatic enhancement of both fluorescence and absorbance intensity, as well as the color change of the solution, could be observed. The detection limit of RAE for Fe(3+) was around 7.98 ppb. Common coexistent metal ions showed little or no interference in the detection of Fe(3+). Moreover, the addition of CN(-) could quench the fluorescence of the acetonitrile solution of RAE and Fe(3+), indicating the regeneration of the chemosensor RAE. The robust nature of the sensor was shown by the detection of Fe(3+) even after repeated rounds of quenching. As iron is a ubiquitous metal in cells and plays vital roles in many biological processes, this chemosensor could be developed to have applications in biological studies.

Fluorescent polymer cubosomes and hexosomes with aggregation-induced emission.

Project description:Fluorescent polymer cubosomes and hexosomes with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) were prepared from amphiphilic block copolymers PEG-b-PTPEMA where the hydrophobic block PTPEMA was a polymethacrylate with tetraphenylethene (TPE) as the AIE side group. Four highly asymmetric block copolymers with hydrophilic block weight ratio f PEG ≤ 20% were synthesized. Cubosomes and hexosomes with strong fluorescence emission were obtained by nanoprecipitation of polymers with f PEG < 9% in dioxane/water and THF/water systems. Their ordered internal structures were studied by electron microscopy (cryo-EM, SEM and TEM) and the X-ray scattering technique (SAXS). To elucidate the formation mechanisms of these inverted colloids, other parameters influencing the morphologies, like the water content during self-assembly and the organic solvent composition, were also investigated. This study not only inspires people to design novel building blocks for the preparation of functional cubosomes and hexosomes, but also presents the first AIE fluorescent polymer cubosome and hexosome with potential applications in bio-related fields.

A pH-Sensitive Fluorescent Chemosensor Turn-On Based in a Salen Iron (III) Complex: Synthesis, Photophysical Properties, and Live-Cell Imaging Application.

Project description:pH regulation is essential to allow normal cell function, and their imbalance is associated with different pathologic situations, including cancer. In this study, we present the synthesis of 2-(((2-aminoethyl)imino)methyl)phenol (HL1) and the iron (III) complex (Fe(L1)2Br, (C1)), confirmed by X-ray diffraction analysis. The absorption and emission properties of complex C1 were assessed in the presence and absence of different physiologically relevant analytes, finding a fluorescent turn-on when OH- was added. So, we determined the limit of detection (LOD = 3.97 × 10-9 M), stoichiometry (1:1), and association constant (Kas = 5.86 × 103 M-1). Using DFT calculations, we proposed a spontaneous decomposition mechanism for C1. After characterization, complex C1 was evaluated as an intracellular pH chemosensor on the human primary gastric adenocarcinoma (AGS) and non-tumoral gastric epithelia (GES-1) cell lines, finding fluorescent signal activation in the latter when compared to AGS cells due to the lower intracellular pH of AGS cells caused by the increased metabolic rate. However, when complex C1 was used on metastatic cancer cell lines (MKN-45 and MKN-74), a fluorescent turn-on was observed in both cell lines because the intracellular lactate amount increased. Our results could provide insights about the application of complex C1 as a metabolic probe to be used in cancer cell imaging.
