Broad-Spectrum Tunable Photoluminescent Material Based on Cascade Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer between Three Fluorophores Encapsulated within the Self-Assembled Surfactant Systems
摘要： A broad spectrum tunable photoluminescent material with dual encryption based on a two-step Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) between Pyrene (Py), Coumarin480 (Cou480) and Rhodamine6G (R6G) in micelles of SDS and bmimDS is presented. The phenomenon is achievable due to the encapsulation of the fluorophores within these micelles. The transfer of energy as FRET between the pair Py and Cou480 showed ON at 336 nm and OFF at 402 nm in contrast to the FRET observed between the pair Cou480 and R6G that showed ON at 402nm and OFF at 336 nm. However, the transfer of energy as FRET occurs from Py to R6G in the presence of Cou480 when excited at 336 nm, thereby making it a chain of three fluorophores with Cou480 acting as a relay fluorophore receiving energy from Py and transferring it to R6G. The different FRET scenarios between the three fluorophores in micelles provide a window for the generation of a matrix of colors, which occupies a significant 2D area in the chromaticity diagram, having potential applications in security printing. The different fluorophoric ratios generate different colors based on their individual photonic emissions and the FRET processes taking place between them. Writing tests were carried out using varied ratios of the fluorophores in the micellar systems producing different colored outputs under the UV light with insignificant visibility under the white light. We envision that this as-discovered three fluorophoric FRET system could form the basis for the future development of multi-FRET light-harvesting devices and anti-counterfeiting security inks based on much simpler non-covalent interaction aided encapsulation of the fluorophores within the self-assembled soft systems.

Excimer based FRET between non-FRET pair flourophores aided by the aromatic moiety of anionic surfactants: An experimental observation
摘要： A new FRET pair has been reported based on the apperance of excimeric emission and hence significant spectral overlap between an otherwise non-FRET pair fluorophores viz pyrene and rhodamine 6G in the anionic sodiumdodecylbenzenesulfonate (SDBS) micellar system. The occurence of FRET based on such modulation of spectral overlap integral has not been dealt with in detail in comparison to the other FRET parameters like distance between the fluorophores and orientation. Due to the presence of benzene ring in the SDBS micellar system the formation of excimers is augemented due to the π?π interactions between the pyrene molecules and the benzene units of the surfactants. The excimeric pyrene has a bathochromically shifted peak which overlaps with the absorption peak of rhodamine 6G thereby giving rise to energy transfer as FRET between these otherwise non-FRET pair molecules. The efficiency of FRET between the pyrene and rhodamine 6G can be modulated by the degree of spectral overlap between the excimeric peak of pyrene and the absorption peak of rhodamime6g. All the experiments were carried in the Sodiumdodecylsulfate (SDS) micellar system also, which unlike SDBS does not possess any benzene unit, in order to compare the results of excimer formation as well the FRET process.

Synchronized “Click” and Templated Synthesis of a Fluorescent Pyrene Crown Ether
摘要： The reaction of 6,8-bisethynylpyrene-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester with 1-azido-2-(2-(2-azidoethoxy)ethoxy)ethoxy)ethane using standard “click” chemistry produced a 1+1 crown ether (CPYR). The copper ions used both catalyse the reaction and provide a template for ensuring smooth cyclisation. The X-ray crystal structure of the compound reveals the two triazole groups are non-coplanar with the pyrene moiety. The triazole groups are more co-planar with the pyrene subunit in the first-excited singlet state as revealed by a density functional theory (DFT) calculated molecular structure (B3LYP, 6-311G). Partially structured emission observed in acetonitrile is consistent with the calculation result. In acetonitrile solution the macrocycle CPYR interacts with a Na+ ion to form a complex in which the ion binds with the crown and the pyrene residue.

Pyrene-SH functionalized OTFT for detection of Hg2+ ions in aquatic environments
摘要： Mercury ion (Hg2+) sensor based on bottom gate top contact organic thin film transistor (OTFT) was fabricated. The OTFT channel area was functionalized with pyrene that contain thiol group, which has strong binding affinity toward Hg2+ ion. The OTFT sensor exhibited a charge mobility of 0.28 cm2 V–1 s–1, a threshold voltage of -22.3 V and on-to-off ratio 103. The sensor shows high selectivity to Hg2+ ion over other two valence metal ions. OTFT sensor exhibited high sensitivity to Hg2+ ion, indicated by increasing of drain current after exposed to different concentration of Hg2+ ion ranging from 1 mM to 0.01 μM. Moreover, the OTFT sensor capability for practical application was also demonstrated by sensing the present of 25 μM of Hg2+ ion in tap, drinking and seawater samples.

Enhanced removal and detection of benzo[a]pyrene in environmental water samples using carbon dots-modified magnetic nanocomposites
摘要： Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) have already proven their e?cacy in the disposal of a wide array of environmental contaminants in recent years. However, the di?culties in dispersibility and agglomeration of MNPs arising from its own physical and chemical properties limit its large-scale application. Herein, we fabricated the carbon dots/fatty acid-coated MNPs (CDs/C11-Fe3O4) through a facile and simple method. To utilize the advantage of carbon dots, these limitations can be mitigated by diminishing the size of MNPs and modifying the surface of MNPs. Detailed characterization including VSM, FT-IR, XPS and TEM conformed that the higher adsorption capacity of CDs/C11-Fe3O4 is mainly attributed to low average size (< 8 nm), which is obviously lower than that of C11-Fe3O4 (about 13 nm). The CDs/C11-Fe3O4 showed higher adsorption performance than that of C11-Fe3O4 nanocomposites (76.23 ng mg?1 for CDs/C11-Fe3O4 and 59.89 ng mg?1 for C11-Fe3O4). The adsorption processes of BaP on both C11-Fe3O4 and CDs/C11-Fe3O4 nanocomposites are exothermic, and well simulated by pseudo-second-order model. Moreover, the CDs/C11-Fe3O4 were also applied for the detection of BaP in large-volume water samples, which satis?es the China environmental protection standard, are promising candidates for water remediation.

Fluorescent turn-on probes for the development of binding and hydrolytic activity assays for mRNA cap-recognising proteins
摘要： The m7G cap is a unique nucleotide structure at the 5' end of all eukaryotic mRNAs. The cap specifically interacts with numerous cellular proteins and participates in biological processes essential for cell growth and function. To provide small molecular probes to study important cap-recognising proteins, we synthesized m7G nucleotides labelled with fluorescent tags via the terminal phosph(on)ate group and studied how their emission properties changed upon protein binding or enzymatic cleavage. Only the pyrene-labelled compounds behaved as sensitive turn-on probes. A pyrene-labelled m7GTP analogue showed up to 8-fold enhanced fluorescence emission upon binding to eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E (eIF4E) and over 30-fold enhancement upon cleavage by decapping scavenger (DcpS) enzyme. These observations served as the basis for developing binding- and hydrolytic-activity assays. The assay utility was validated with previously characterized libraries of eIF4E ligands and DcpS inhibitors. The DcpS assay was also applied to study hydrolytic activity and inhibition of endogenous enzyme in cytoplasmic extracts from HeLa and HEK cells.

A Visible-Light-Driven Molecular Motor Based on Pyrene
摘要： The aromatic core of an overcrowded alkene-based molecular motor is extended with the goal of inducing isomerization with visible light instead of harmful UV light. In our design, the common naphthalene moiety in the upper half of the motor is changed to pyrene. The photochemical and thermal isomerization processes are studied in detail using DFT calculations as well as NMR and UV/vis spectroscopy. Our studies confirm that extension of the π-system of the upper half successfully leads to a shift of the excitation wavelength into the visible region, while retaining proper rotary function.

Synthesis, characterization and photophysical properties of a new class of pyrene substituted 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives
摘要： We have designed and synthesized a series of a new class of pyrene substituted 1,3,4- oxadiazole derivatives (abbreviated as 3(a-e)) through palladium catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura cross coupling reaction. The chemical structures of the probes were characterized by using analytical techniques namely 1H NMR, 13C NMR, FT-IR and GC-MS. The novel bipolar molecules consist of pyrene as an electron donor unit (D) and electron-deficient 1,3,4-oxadiazole as an acceptor unit (A) linked via extending π conjugation through a phenyl spacer with para linkages (D-π-A). Intramolecular charge transfer is improved by structure-property relationship. The detailed photophysical/solvatochromic properties of newly synthesized derivatives have been studied employing steady state spectroscopic techniques. The photophysical studies revealed that compounds emit strong indigo-blue fluorescence and efficient blue emission extending into blue-green in solid phase with high quantum yields. Thermal and morphological stabilities of the derivatives were studied employing DSC and TGA measurements. In addition, density functional theory (DFT) computations have been carried out to demonstrate various intramolecular interactions that cause the stabilization of the compound leading to its optoelectronic applications. The highest occupied molecular orbital energy (HOMOs), lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy (LUMOs), the energy bandgap, chemical hardness (η), softness (δ), electronegativity (χ) and chemical potential (μ) were computed with the help of frontier molecular orbitals. The results were compared and discussed with the experimental results. The results demonstrate that the novel pyrene containing oxadiazole derivatives could be used as small organic molecules for multifunctional organic light-emitting devices (OLED)/optoelectronic devices.

Design, characterization, optical and photophysical properties of novel thiophene monomers and polymers containing pyrene moieties linked via rigid and flexible spacers
摘要： Herein, we report the synthesis of three novel thiophene monomers connected to pyrene moieties via a flexible oligo(ethylene glycol) (OEG) spacer with an oxygen α-to-pyrene (T1), a flexible OEG spacer with an oxygen β-to-pyrene (T2), and a rigid acetylene spacer (T3). These monomers were prepared in an easy manner from commercially available 3-bromo-4-methylthiophene and further characterized by NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. Monomer T2 exhibited the absorption band at 344 nm and a strong 'monomer' emission band at 375 nm typical of a 1-pyrenemethyl derivative. Moreover, T1 and T3 showed red shifted absorption bands at 352 and 384 nm arising from the pyrene substituents, namely the electron-donating oxygen α-to-pyrene and the extended conjugation length, respectively. These compounds exhibited a broad 'monomer' emission band between 360–480 nm without excimers. Homopolymers (OHP1, OHP2, and OHP3) obtained from these monomers were partially soluble and their photophysical properties such as quantum yield and lifetime were characterized. Emission spectra of the oligomers OHP1 and OHP3 exhibited an emission band at ~500 nm, which is due to the conjugated polythiophene backbone and does not arise from intramolecular pyrene-pyrene interactions.

DNA origami deposition on native and passivated molybdenum disulfide substrates
摘要： Maintaining the structural fidelity of DNA origami structures on substrates is a prerequisite for the successful fabrication of hybrid DNA origami/semiconductor-based biomedical sensor devices. Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) is an ideal substrate for such future sensors due to its exceptional electrical, mechanical and structural properties. In this work, we performed the first investigations into the interaction of DNA origami with the MoS2 surface. In contrast to the structure-preserving interaction of DNA origami with mica, another atomically flat surface, it was observed that DNA origami structures rapidly lose their structural integrity upon interaction with MoS2. In a further series of studies, pyrene and 1-pyrenemethylamine, were evaluated as surface modifications which might mitigate this effect. While both species were found to form adsorption layers on MoS2 via physisorption, 1-pyrenemethylamine serves as a better protective agent and preserves the structures for significantly longer times. These findings will be beneficial for the fabrication of future DNA origami/MoS2 hybrid electronic structures.
