Synthesis of carbazole-based dendritic conjugated polymer: a dual channel optical probe for the detection of I^- and Hg².

ABSTRACT: A new type of carbazole-based blue-emitting dendritic conjugated polymer, poly[(9,9-dioctyl)-2,7-fluorene-co-4,4',4"-triphenylamine-co-9-(4-(9H-carbazol-9-yl)butyl)-3,6-carbazole](P), was successfully synthesized by Suzuki coupling reaction. Chemical structures of monomers and polymer were verified by FI-IR and ¹HNMR characterizations. We found that polymer showed a special selectivity and high sensitivity for I^-. With the addition of I^-, the fluorescent polymer solution was obviously quenched. The polymer showed a special detection effect on I^-. However, the fluorescent polymer was obviously restored when Hg²⁺ was added to the P/I^- system due to the large complexation between I^- and Hg²⁺. The anti-interference experiments of probe P/I^- showed that other background cations have a slight influence on detecting Hg²⁺, and the calculated detection limit of Hg²⁺ reached 9.7 × 10^-8 M, which could be a potential application for a two-channel cyclic detection of I^- and Hg²⁺. Additionally, it was found that the theoretical values were in agreement with the experimental data.

Dendritic Iron(III) Carbazole Complexes: Structural, Optical, and Magnetic Characteristics.

Project description:This paper focuses on the synthesis, structural characterization, and study of the optical, magnetic, and thermal properties of novel architectures combining metal ions as magnetoactive centers and photoactive blocks formed by carbazole units. For this purpose, a series of azomethine complexes of the composition [Fe(L)2]X (L = 3,6-bis[(3',6'-di-tert-butyl-9-carbazol)-9-carbazol]benzoyloxy-4-salicylidene-N'-ethyl-N-ethylenediamine, X = NO3-, Cl-, PF6-) were synthesized by the reaction of metal salts with Schiff bases in a mixture of solvents. The UV-Vis absorption properties were studied in dichloromethane and rationalized via time-dependent density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Upon excitation at 350 nm, the compounds exhibited an intense dual fluorescence with two emission bands centered at ~445 and ~485 nm, which were assigned to πcarb-π* intraligand and πcarb-dFe ligand-to-metal charge-transfer excited states. EPR spectroscopy and SQUID magnetometry revealed solid-state partial spin crossover in some compounds, and antiferromagnetic interactions between the neighboring Fe(III) ions.

Rhodamine-Based Fluorescent Probe for Highly Selective Determination of Hg2.

Project description:The determination of mercuric ions (Hg2+) in environmental and biological samples has attracted the attention of researchers lately. In the present work, a novel turn-on Hg2+ fluorescent probe utilizing a rhodamine derivative had been constructed and prepared. The probe could highly sensitively and selectively sense Hg2+. In the presence of excessive Hg2+, the probe displayed about 52-fold fluorescence enhancement in 50% H2O/CH3CH2OH (pH, 7.24). In the meantime, the colorless solution of the probe turned pink upon adding Hg2+. Upon adding mercuric ions, the probe interacted with Hg2+ and formed a 1:1 coordination complex, which had been the basis for recognizing Hg2+. The probe displayed reversible dual colorimetric and fluorescence sensing of Hg2+ because rhodamine's spirolactam ring opened upon adding Hg2+. The analytical performances of the probe for sensing Hg2+ were also studied. When the Hg2+ concentration was altered in the range of 8.0 × 10-8 to 1.0 × 10-5 mol L-1, the fluorescence intensity showed an excellent linear correlation with Hg2+ concentration. A detection limit of 3.0 × 10-8 mol L-1 had been achieved. Moreover, Hg2+ in the water environment and A549 cells could be successfully sensed by the proposed probe.

Potential Antimicrobial Isopropanol-Conjugated Carbazole Azoles as Dual Targeting Inhibitors of Enterococcus faecalis.

Project description:A series of isopropanol-bridged carbazole azoles as potential antimicrobial agents were designed and synthesized from commercial carbazoles. Bioassay revealed that 3,6-dichlorocarbazolyl triazole 3f could effectively inhibit the growth of E. faecalis with minimal inhibitory concentration of 2 ?g/mL. The active molecule 3f showed lower propensity to trigger the development of resistance in bacteria than norfloxacin and exerted rapidly bactericidal ability. Compound 3f also exhibited low cytotoxicity to normal mammalian RAW264.7 cells. Further mechanism exploration indicated that conjugate 3f was membrane active against E. faecalis and could form 3f-DNA complex by intercalating into DNA of resistant E. faecalis, which might be responsible for its antimicrobial action. Molecular docking showed an efficient binding of triazole derivative 3f with DNA gyrase enzyme through noncovalent interactions.

An aggregation-induced emission-based fluorescence turn-on probe for Hg2+ and its application to detect Hg2+ in food samples.

Project description:In this work, we presented a new tetraphenylethene-derived fluorescent probe TPE-M for Hg2+ detection in an aqueous solution. Probe TPE-M is molecularly dissolved in CH3OH/PBS (20 mM, pH = 7.4) (3 : 7, v/v) mixed solution and is almost non-emissive. Reaction of TPE-M with Hg2+ leads to release of an AIE-active precursor 4, and results in a significant fluorescence enhancement. The Hg2+ recognition process has some distinct advantages including rapid response, high selectivity and sensitivity, strong anti-interference ability, and a low detection limit (4.16 × 10-6 M). Moreover, the probe is applicable to detect Hg2+ in real food samples such as shrimp, crab and teas, suggesting the practical applicability of TPE-M.

A simple and efficient dual optical signaling chemodosimeter for toxic Hg(II).

Project description:10-Methylthioacridone, designated as acrithion, has been employed as an easily accessible chemodosimeter for the optical targeting of toxic Hg(2+) in buffered aqueous DMSO. The Hg(2+)-mediated desulfurization of the probe is translated into selective dual signaling of Hg(2+) by means of color bleaching and fluorescence amplification while several other metal ions, including potentially competing Ag(+), Cu(2+) and Pb(2+), afford no significant interferences even in excess concentrations.

Polymer Labelling with a Conjugated Polymer-Based Luminescence Probe for Recycling in the Circular Economy.

Project description:In this paper, we present the use of a disubstituted polyacetylene with high thermal stability and quantum yield as a fluorescence label for the identification, tracing, recycling, and eventually anti-counterfeiting applications of thermoplastics. A new method was developed for the dispersion of poly[1-phenyl-2-[p-(trimethylsilyl)phenyl]acetylene] (PTMSDPA) into polymer blends. For such purposes, four representative commodity plastics were selected, i.e., polypropylene, low-density polyethylene, poly(methyl methacrylate), and polylactide. Polymer recycling was mimicked by two reprocessing cycles of the material, which imparted intensive luminescence to the labelled polymer blends when excited by proper illumination. The concentration of the labelling polymer in the matrices was approximately a few tens ppm by weight. Luminescence was visible to the naked eye and survived the simulated recycling successfully. In addition, luminescence emission maxima were correlated with polymer polarity and glass transition temperature, showing a marked blueshift in luminescence emission maxima with the increase in processing temperature and time. This blueshift results from the dispersion of the labelling polymer into the labelled polymer matrix. During processing, the polyacetylene chains disentangled, thereby suppressing their intermolecular interactions. Moreover, shear forces imposed during viscous polymer melt mixing enforced conformational changes, which shortened the average conjugation length of PTMSDPA chain segments. Combined, these two mechanisms shift the luminescence of the probe from a solid- to a more solution-like state. Thus, PTMSDPA can be used as a luminescent probe for dispersion quality, polymer blend homogeneity, and processing history, in addition to the identification, tracing, and recycling of thermoplastics.

Rational design of fluorescent probe for Hg2+ by changing the chemical bond type.

Project description:Two kinds of fluorescent probes DFBT and DFABT, and their corresponding water-soluble compounds WDFBT and WDFABT, based on the trimers containing a benzo[2,1,3]thiadiazole moiety and two fluorene moieties are synthesized. Their luminescent behavior towards Hg2+ ions and other various metal ions in organic and water solutions are studied in detail via absorption and emission spectroscopy. All these probes show a selective "on-off-type" fluorescent response to Hg2+ ions in solution over other metal ions with a maximum detection limit of 10-7 M. Importantly, the probe type can be changed from irreversible to reversible by altering the bridge mode between the functional units from C[triple bond, length as m-dash]C triple bond to C-C single bond. Their detection mechanisms towards Hg2+ are studied in detail via mass spectrometry and Job plots, which are attributed to irreversible chemical reaction for DFABT and WDFABT and a reversible coordination reaction for DFBT and WDFBT respectively. Our research results about this kind of organic fluorescent probe provide valuable information to the future design of practical Hg2+ fluorescent probes.

A Highly Selective Fluorescent Probe for Hg2+ Based on a 1,8-Naphthalimide Derivative.

Project description:Hg2+ has a significant hazardous impact on the environment and ecosystem. There is a great demand for new methods with high selectivity and sensitivity to determine mercury in life systems and environments. In this paper, a novel turn-on Hg2+ fluorescent probe has been reported with a naphthalimide group. The Hg2+ fluorescent probe was designed by the inspiration of the well-known specific Hg2+-triggered thioacetal deprotection reaction. A 1,2-dithioalkyl group was chosen as the specific recognition site of Hg2+. The probe showed weak fluorescence without Hg2+, and the color of the solution was light yellow. In the presence of Hg2+, the probe reacted specifically with the mercury ion to produce an aldehyde and emitted strong fluorescence, and the color of the solution also turned light green, thus realizing the monitoring of the mercury ion. The Hg2+ fluorescent probe showed outstanding sensitivity and selectivity toward Hg2+. Furthermore, the Hg2+ fluorescent probe could work in a wide pH range. The linear relationship between the fluorescence intensity at 510 nm and the concentration of Hg2+ was obtained in a range of Hg2+ concentration from 2.5 × 10-7 to 1.0 × 10-5 M. The detection limit was found to be 4.0 × 10-8 M for Hg2+. Furthermore, with little cell toxicity, the probe was successfully applied to the confocal image of Hg2+ in PC-12 cells.

Rhodamine-immobilized optical hydrogels with shape deformation and Hg2+-sensitive fluorescence behaviors.

Project description:A highly effective method for the research and development of a novel macroscopic hydrogel sensor and bilayer hydrogel is reported. Based on Rhodamine 6G, an Hg2+ sensitive fluorescent functional monomer was synthesized, then the monomer was utilized to synthesize hydrogel sensors and bilayer hydrogels. Hydrogel sensor has prominent selectivity to Hg2+, the bilayer hydrogel has shape changing function additionally. By combining a thermoresponsive hydrogel layer, poly N-isopropylacrylamide (PNIPAM), with an Hg2+ selective hydrogel layer via macroscopic supramolecular assembly, a bilayer hydrogel is obtained that can be tailored and reswells. The bilayer hydrogel sensor can show complex shape deformation caused by the PNIPAM layer and the Hg2+-responsive characteristic of hydrogel sensor layer can be observed under visible light or UV light. This work will provide novel insights for the design and synthesis of novel smart materials with synergistic functions.

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.
