Fluorometric determination and intracellular imaging of cysteine by using glutathione capped gold nanoclusters and cerium(III) induced aggregation
摘要： A turn-on fluorometric method is described for selective and sensitive detection of cysteine (Cys). Gold nanoclusters (Au NCs) capped with glutathione (GSH) are used as a fluorescent probe. If Ce3+ ion are present, they will bind to the carboxy groups of the GSH-capped Au NC. This results in aggregation-induced emission enhancement (AIEE), best measured at excitation/emission wavelengths of 360/575 nm. On addition of Cys, which has less steric hindrance compared with GSH and higher affinity for Ce3+, it will bind to Ce3+ through the carboxyl group and link with Au NCs via Au-S bond. Hence, the AIEE is increased and Cys can be quantified via this effect with a linear response in the 0.4–120 μmol L?1 Cys concentration range and a detection limit of 0.15 μmol L?1.

Correction: Boosted visible light photodegradation activity of boron doped rGO/g-C <sub/>3</sub> N <sub/>4</sub> nanocomposites: the role of C–O–C bonds
摘要： A series of two-component co-crystals driven by I···N interactions based on the bipyridine (BIPY) chromophore with one among three different co-former building blocks, iodopentafluorobenzene (IPFB), 1,4-diiodotetrafluorobenzene (DITFB) and 1,3,5-trifluoro-2,4,6-triiodobenzene (IFB), were prepared and analysed via infrared spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. By comparing the I···N distances in the co-crystal structures, we found that the higher the –F ratio in the building blocks the closer the contact of the I···N bond, enhancing the intermolecular interactions in these co-crystals as well. That is, the positive electrostatic potential on the iodine atom(s) in the co-formers was enhanced by the presence of strong electron-withdrawing groups. The distinct spectroscopic behaviours (fluorescence and Raman spectra) among the two-component BIPY co-crystal systems in response to hydrostatic pressure were also investigated. Interestingly, the fluorescence of BIPY–DITFB presented intriguing abnormal evolution from dark to bright, suggesting a new charge transfer state due to the decreased intermolecular distance and the enhanced I···N interactions. Theoretical simulations by Materials Studio also showed the shortened I···N distance and the increased angle of C–I···N, evidencing the enhanced I···N interactions. In contrast, BIPY–IFB showed only slightly enhanced fluorescence intensity at 550 nm consistent with BIPY–DITFB. Once the pressure was relieved, both the Raman and fluorescence spectra for BIPY co-crystal systems entirely self-recovered. Remarkable emission enhancement in a solid-state co-crystal has been rarely reported in previous publications and in fact, this study paves a unique way for designing and developing novel stimuli-responsive photo-functional materials.

Catalytic Growth of 1D ZnO Nanoneedles on Glass Substrates Through Vapor Transport
摘要： In this study, one-dimensional (1D) zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoneedles are successfully fabricated on a Ag catalyst-coated glass substrate through simple physical vapor deposition via thermal evaporation of zinc (Zn) powder in the presence of oxygen (O2) gas at a low growth temperature of 450°C. The growth rate and diameter of ZnO nanoneedles increase as a function of varying silver (Ag) film thicknesses and argon (Ar) flow rates. Detailed structural investigations confirm that the synthesized nanoneedles have high crystallinity with a hexagonal wurtzite structure, and they preferentially grow along the c-axis orientation. This approach provides a simple and cost-effective method for the synthesis and controlled growth of 1D nanostructures, which can be useful in solid-state devices and various optoelectronic applications.

Alkyl chains length dependent fluorescence emission and reversible mechanofluorochromism of AIEE-based quinoline derivatives
摘要： Five quinoline derivatives containing different alkyl chains (QLACn, n ? 2, 4, 6, 8, 12) were synthesized to investigate the effect of alkyl chains on their photophysical properties. The ?uorescent properties of the QLACn were affected by the alkyl chains, which indicated obvious blue-shifting trend and ?uorescence emission are alkyl chains length-dependent by grinding-induced spectral shifts (DlMFC). Longer alkyl-length revealed larger DlMFC. Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurements indicated that the transformation between microcrystalline and amorphous states upon external stimuli should be responsible for the observed reversible MFC behavior.

Novel 4,4′-Fluoresceinoxy Bisphthalonitrile Showing Aggregation-Induced Enhanced Emission and Fluorescence Turn off Behavior to Fe3+ Ions
摘要： A novel 4,4′-fluoresceinoxy bisphthalonitrile FPN is synthesized from fluorescein and 4-nitrophthalonitrile by aromatic nucleophilic ipso nitro substitution reaction. The structure of FPN constitutes phthalonitrile-fluorescein-phthalonitrile, acceptor-donor-acceptor, A-D-A form and the solvatochromic study of newly synthesized compound FPN was done in hexane, cyclohexane, CHCl3, DCM, DMF, acetonitrile, ethanol and in methanol. The aggregation behavior of FPN was investigated in good-poor solvent mixture DMF-water in various proportions and the molecule was found to be exhibiting Aggregation Induced Emission Enhancement AIEE for volume percentage of water beyond 50% with a significant hypsochromic shift of 70 nm in the emission maxima from 458 to 388 nm. This phenomenon is termed as Aggregation Induced Blue Shifted Emission Enhancement AIBSEE and was reported in substituted phthalonitrile for the first time. The chemo sensing activity of FPN with various transition metal ions also has been checked by fluorescence spectroscopy where the new molecule FPN exhibited fluorescence turn OFF behaviour towards Fe3+ ion in acetonitrile-methanol ACN-MeOH solution. The binding stoichiometry of FPN with Fe3+ was verified by Job’s plot analysis and Density Functional Theory DFT-B3LYP computational methodology by using Gaussian 09 software.

Properties of Au incorporated In2O3 films
摘要： Effect of gold loading on the structural, morphological, optical and electrical properties of RF magnetron sputtered In2O3 films is discussed. Annealing is done to analyse the properties of heavily Au loaded In2O3 film after thermal treatment. Au acts as a nucleation centre and improves the crystalline quality of cubic bixbyite In2O3 films with moderate Au loading concentration. FESEM and AFM images of the as-deposited films present smooth surface morphology with a dense distribution of small grains. Random distribution of Au nanorods can be seen in the FESEM image of the 10 wt% Au incorporated film annealed at a temperature of 400 °C. The present study reveals the formation of smooth, crack-free, crystalline In2O3 films with Au incorporation. XPS analysis suggests the predominance of metallic state of Au in the Au loaded films. Absorption studies show an enhanced absorption in both as-deposited and annealed Au loaded films. Transmittance of In2O3 films is considerably modified but electrical properties are not much modified by Au incorporation. Enhancement in UV luminescence emission of In2O3 films ~378 nm is observed with Au incorporation up to 3 wt%. Intense UV emission in Au incorporated films opens a possibility of using these films for UV light emission applications.

Copper nanoclusters @ nitrogen-doped carbon quantum dots-based ratiometric fluorescence probe for lead (II) ions detection in porphyra
摘要： A novel ratiometric fluorescence probe was proposed for detecting lead (II) ions (Pb2+) in porphyra, the approach was based on copper nanoclusters and nitrogen-doped carbon quantum dots (CuNCs-CNQDs). In this probe, the CuNCs delivered the response signal, the fluorescence of which was enhanced by Pb2+ due to the aggregation-induced emission enhancement (AIEE) between Pb2+ and CuNCs. The CNQDs provided the self-calibration signal, whose fluorescence remained almost unchanged in coexistence with Pb2+. According to the change of fluorescence intensity ratio between the fluorophores, CuNCs–CNQDs nanohybrid was used as ratiometric probes for the sensitive detection of Pb2+ in the range of 0.010 to 2.5 mg L-1, with a detection limit of 0.0031 mg L-1. Finally, the probe was successfully applied to detect Pb2+ in porphyra with relative standard deviations (RSDs) lower than 5%. This study provides a straightforward, stable, and sensitive approach for detecting Pb2+ in porphyra.

Spatiotemporal dynamics of aggregation-induced emission enhancement controlled by optical manipulation
摘要： We present spatiotemporal control of aggregation-induced emission enhancement (AIEE) of a protonated tetraphenylethene derivative by optical manipulation. A single submicrometer-sized aggregate is initially confined by laser irradiation when its fluorescence is hardly detectable. The continuous irradiation of the formed aggregate leads to sudden and rapid growth, resulting in bright yellow fluorescence emission. The fluorescence intensity at the peak wavelength of 540 nm is tremendously enhanced with growth, meaning that AIEE is activated by optical manipulation. Amazingly, the switching on/off of the activation of AIEE is arbitrarily controlled by alternating the laser power. This result means that local concentration, which increases the optical manipulation tool overcomes the electrostatic repulsion between the protonated molecules, namely, optical manipulation changes the aggregate structure. The dynamics and mechanism in AIEE controlled by optical manipulation will be discussed from the viewpoint of molecular conformation and association depending on the laser power.

Multistimuli-responsive small-molecule compound with aggregation-induced emission enhancement characteristics: preparation, properties and applications
摘要： A novel multifunction luminescent small-molecule compound with hydrophilic chains was successfully designed and synthesized, which exhibited aggregation-induced emission enhancement (AIEE) characteristics. Even more interesting, it exhibited responsive behavior to temperature, pH and UV irradiation. In aqueous solution, its luminescence intensity showed temperature sensitivity. Initially, its luminescence intensity decreased slightly with an increase in temperature, which was enhanced greatly when the temperature increased to its lower critical solution temperature (LCST). With a further increase in temperature, there was a significant decline in its luminescence intensity. Additionally, it showed different pH and UV irradiation responsive behaviors in water and THF solution. In THF solution, its luminescence intensity was enhanced greatly with the addition of alkali, but it decreased with an increase in UV irradiation time. In aqueous solution, its luminescence intensity was enhanced slightly and its LCST decreased first and then increased with the addition of alkali. However, its luminescence intensity increased with an increase in UV irradiation time. The prepared small-molecule compound could also be used as a rewritable material with solid alkali or alkali solution used as ink and ordinary paper adsorbed with our prepared small-molecule compound used as rewritable paper.

Towards Blue AIE/AIEE: Synthesis and Applications in OLEDs of Tetra-/Triphenylethenyl Substituted 9,9-Dimethylacridine Derivatives
摘要： Aiming to design blue fluorescent emitters with high photoluminescence quantum yields in solid-state, nitrogen-containing heteroaromatic 9,9-dimethylacridine was refined by tetraphenylethene and triphenylethene. Six tetra-/triphenylethene-substituted 9,9-dimethylacridines were synthesized by the Buchwald-Hartwig method with relatively high yields. Showing effects of substitution patterns, all emitters demonstrated high fluorescence quantum yields of 26–53% in non-doped films and 52–88% in doped films due to the aggregation induced/enhanced emission (AIE/AIEE) phenomena. In solid-state, the emitters emitted blue (451–481 nm) without doping and deep-blue (438–445 nm) with doping while greenish-yellow emission was detected for two compounds with additionally attached cyano-groups. The ionization potentials of the derivatives were found to be in the relatively wide range of 5.43–5.81 eV since cyano-groups were used in their design. Possible applications of the emitters were demonstrated in non-doped and doped organic light-emitting diodes with up to 2.3 % external quantum efficiencies for simple fluorescent devices. In the best case, deep-blue electroluminescence with chromaticity coordinates of (0.16, 0.10) was close to blue color standard (0.14, 0.08) of the National Television System Committee.
