Abstract
In this work we have designed a novel system based on carbon dots prepared from chitosan gel capped with β-cyclodextrin and calix[4]arene-25,26,27,28-tetrol for sensitive and selective detection of fluoride ions in aqueous media. Fluorescent carbon dots prepared from chitosan gel when capped with β-cyclodextrin and calix[4]arene-25,26,27,28-tetrol results in quenching of its fluorescence intensity. Introduction of F(-) ions to carbon dots capped with β-cyclodextrin and calix[4]arene-25,26,27,28-tetrol system results in enhancement and restoration of fluorescence intensity leading to detection of F(-) ion. Minimum detection limit was determined to be ∼6.6 μM. The detection is selective as with other halide ions i.e. Cl(-), Br(-) and I(-) and hydroxyl ion (OH(-)), there is observed decrease of fluorescence intensity. A possible mechanism to justify the observation is also discussed in the paper.

Abstract
The cysteine-stimulated aggregation of Au nanoparticles (Au NPs) is used as an auxiliary reporting system for the optical detection of H2O2, for optical probing of the glucose oxidase (GOx) and the catalyzed oxidation of glucose, for probing the biocatalytic cascade composed of acetylcholine esterase/choline oxidase (AChE/ChOx), and for following the inhibition of AChE. The analytical paradigm is based on the I(-)-catalyzed oxidation of cysteine by H2O2 to cystine, a process that prohibits the cysteine-triggered aggregation of the Au NPs. The system enabled the analysis of H2O2 with a detection limit of 2 μM. As the GOx-biocatalyzed oxidation of glucose yields H2O2, and the AChE/ChOx cascade leads to the formation of H2O2, the two biocatalytic processes could be probed by the cysteine-stimulated aggregation of the Au NPs. Since AChE is inhibited by 1,5-bis(4-allyldimethylammonium phenyl)pentane-3-one dibromide, the biocatalytic AChE/ChOx cascade is inhibited by the inhibitor, thus leading to the enhanced cysteine-mediated aggregation of the NPs. The results suggest the potential implementation of the cysteine-mediated aggregation of Au NPs in the presence of AChE/ChOx as a sensing platform for the optical detection of chemical warfare agents.

Abstract
The conformational properties and aggregation behavior of two selectively modified cyclomaltooligosaccharides (cyclodextrins, CDs) containing a double-linked 1,8-dimethylnaphthalene cap-like moiety at the secondary face, namely, 2(I),3(I)-O-(1,8-dimetylnaphthalene-α,α'-diyl)-per-O-Me-α- and -γ-cyclodextrins (NmαCD and NmγCD, respectively), in water and in organic solvents were investigated. Both CD derivatives self-associated in water to form dimer species, but the characteristics of the dimerization process and of the resulting dimer strongly depended on the size of the macrocycle. Dimerization constants, thermodynamic parameters upon association, and information about the preferred conformations of the monomer and dimer CD structures were obtained by using NMR, UV-vis, steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence, and circular dichroism experimental techniques, as well as molecular mechanics (MM) and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The complexation of 1,8-di(methoxymethyl)naphathalene (oNy) and the heteroassociation of both NmCDs with their permethylated CD partners (mCDs), lacking the aromatic cap, were examined. In addition, the influence of the size of the chromophore moiety on the thermodynamics of self-association was also assessed by comparison of the results obtained for the new naphthalene derivatives with those of the 2(I),3(I)-O-(1,2-xylylene)-modified CD analogues (XmCDs).

Abstract
A CdSe-ZnS quantum dot (QD) has been surface functionalised by a place exchange reaction with p-mercaptomethyl benzoate synthesized by a three-step procedure. The resulting lumophore-spacer-receptor QD-conjugate was characterized by IR, UV-visible and fluorescence spectroscopy. The emission profile of the QD reveals a narrow emission peak centred at 542 nm. Addition of hydroxide to the solution containing the QD-conjugate results in quenching of the original fluorescence, which is attributed to a photoinduced electron transfer reaction from the electron-rich benzoate moiety to the QD valence band. This is the first reported example of fluorescent quenching of a CdSe-ZnS QD luminescence by an aryl carboxylate moiety.

Abstract
The self-assembly of cyclodextrin (CD) functionalized graphene (GR) and adamantane-modified horseradish peroxidase (HRP-ADA) by host-guest supramolecular interaction into novel nanostructures in aqueous solution is reported in the present study. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry were applied to characterize the self-assembly process and study the electrochemical behaviors of the immobilized proteins. UV-vis spectra indicated that the native structure of HRP was maintained after the assembly, implying good biocompatibility of CD-functionalized GR (CD-GR). Furthermore, the HRP-ADA/CD-GR composites were utilized for the fabrication of enzyme electrodes (HRP-ADA/CD-GR electrodes). The proposed biosensor showed good reproducibility and high sensitivity to H2O2 with the detection limit of 0.1 μM. In the range of 0.7-35 μM, the catalytic reduction current of H2O2 was proportional to H2O2 concentration.

Abstract
Fold-up fluorophore : A new paradigm for designing self-referencing fluorescent nanosensors is demonstrated by interfacing a pH-triggered molecular conformational switch with quantum dots. Analytedependent, large-amplitude conformational motion controls the distance between the nanocrystal energy donor and an organic FRET acceptor. The result is a fluorescence signal capable of reporting pH values from individual endosomes in living cells.

Abstract
Highly fluorescent water soluble glyco-quantum dots were synthesized using a sonochemical procedure. The synthetic approach is based on specific host-guest interactions between β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) and trioctylphosphine oxide (TOPO) surfactant on quantum dots. The modified QDs were analyzed by a combination of FT-IR, (1)H-NOESY NMR spectroscopy and by TEM. The high sugar density on QDs resulted in selective colloidal aggregation with ConcanavalinA (ConA), Galanthus nivalis lectin (GNA) and Peanut agglutinin (PNA) lectins. Subsequently, in vitro studies indicated that β-CD modification of QDs enabled good cell viability of human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line (HepG2) cells. Finally, flow cytometry and confocal imaging studies revealed that βCDgal capped QDs undergo preferential binding with HepG2 cells. These results clearly demonstrate that β-CD capped QDs could be a promising candidate for further carbohydrate-based biomedical applications.

Abstract
Sensitive and selective detection strategies for toxic heavy metal ions, which are rapid, cheap and applicable to environmental and biological fields, are of significant importance. As a result of specific interaction between thiol(s) used as ligands and heavy metal ions, the photoluminescence intensity of quantum dots (QDs) in PBS buffer solution was quenched and the aggregation of QDs was formed at the same time. Herein, we present water-soluble, low toxic QDs, ZnSe/ZnS, which were applied for ultrasensitive Hg(2+) ion detection with a low detection limit (2.5 nM). In addition, a model has been proposed to explain the aggregation of QDs in the presence of heavy metal ions such as Hg(2+) ions.

Abstract
A fundamental and systematic study on the fabrication of a supramolecularly assembled nanostructure of an organic ligand-capped CdS nanocrystal (NC) and multiple heptamine β-cyclodextrin ((NH(2))(7)βCD) molecules in aqueous solution has been here reported. The functionalization process of presynthesized hydrophobic CdS NCs by means of (NH(2))(7)βCD has been extensively investigated by using different spectroscopic and structural techniques, as a function of different experimental parameters, such as the composition and the concentration of CD, the concentration of CdS NCs, the nature of the NC surface capping ligand (oleic acid and octylamine), and the organic solvent. The formation of a complex based on the direct coordination of the (NH(2))(7)βCD amine groups at the NC surface has been demonstrated and found responsible for the CdS NC phase transfer process. The amine functional group in (NH(2))(7)βCD and the appropriate combination of pristine capping agent coordinating the NC surface and a suitable solvent have been found decisive for the success of the CdS NC phase transfer process. Furthermore, a layer-by-layer assembly experiment has indicated that the obtained (NH(2))(7)βCD functionalized CdS NCs are still able to perform the host-guest chemistry. Thus, they offer a model of a nanoparticle-based material with molecular receptors, useful for bio applications.

Abstract
Due to possessing unique optical properties, semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) have been applied to construct bioconjugates. Using QDs as donors, the Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) system can be developed and applied to biological imaging and sensing, and various construction strategies have been reported. To provide a new practicable method, we introduce a protocol with two routes to construct a supramolecular FRET system based on the high-affinity interaction between melittin and phosphocholine. Melittin exists with a random coil structure in aqueous environments but will adopt a bent helix when inserted into natural or artificial membranes. Such specific and high affinity protein-membrane interaction makes it possible to construct a QDs-based FRET system. The strategy applying protein-membrane interaction to construct a QDs-based FRET system can be applied to the investigation on the protein-membrane interaction through distance-depended FRET and further proteolysis of trypsin. Because of the existence of various protein-membrane interactions in real life, the system has the potential to be expanded to other related systems.

Abstract
The engineering of multifunctional nanoparticles carrying photosensitizer drugs (PS) and exposing binding groups for cellular receptors is of increasing interest in therapeutics and diagnostics applications. Natural and modified cyclodextrins (CDs) offer useful scaffolds to bind PS guests by supramolecular interactions. In particular, amphiphilic β-CDs, which form nanoaggregates of diverse shape and size according to the polarity of substituent groups on the rims, include in their different compartments as CD cavity, hydrophilic and hydrophobic portion, PS with different physicochemical properties. PS embedded in cationic amphiphilic CD nanoassemblies are effective in inducing photodynamic damage in cancer cells. For a carrier/PS system to be used in photodynamic therapy (PDT) or photodynamic diagnosis (PDD), the appropriate combination of the delivery characteristics with the preservation of the photodynamic activity of the PS is strictly required. Homogeneous multilayer films based on cationic amphiphilic β-CD entrapping anionic porphyrins can be constructed to exploit interfacial electrostatic interactions between the two components. The capability of CDs to generate restricted microenvironments for PS which can facilitate photoinduced energy transfer with suitable donor molecules was investigated for potential application in fluorescence diagnosis. Besides, recent findings suggest that PDT could represent a useful tool for properly addressing an alternative approach for killing pathogens and combating infections at a clinical level. Finally, modified CDs can bind gold nanoparticles, yielding hybrid organic/inorganic nanoparticles which were studied in water solution and after casting on solid substrates. These binary assemblies could further encapsulate PS or other conventional drugs, opening new intriguing routes on multimodal therapy.

Abstract
The photophysical properties of the confined dye inside the γ-CD in presence of Au nanoparticles have been studied by steady state and time resolved spectroscopy. It is found that the photoluminescence quenching of C480 dye increases from 26% to 49% due to confinement of dye inside γ-CD. The designing of such new optical based materials having coumarin 480 dye inside the γ-CD in presence of Au nanoparticles may have potential applications for light harvesting system.

Abstract
Pyrene-modified dextrin (Py-Dex) was synthesized via the Schiff base reaction between reducing end of dextrins and 1-aminopyrene, and then self-assemblies of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) were fabricated through the tunable tethering of pyrene to SWNTs by dextrin chains. The Py-Dex-SWNTs assemblies were found to be significantly water-soluble because of the synergistic effect of dextrin chains and pyrene moieties. Py-Dex and Py-Dex-SWNTs were adequately characterized by NMR, UV-vis, fluorescence spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight mass spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. The tethering effect of dextrin toward pyrene moieties was clearly revealed and was found to be tunable by adjusting the length of dextrin chains. The fluorescence of pyrene moieties was sufficiently quenched by SWNTs with the support of dextrin chains. Furthermore, the Py-Dex-SWNTs assemblies were used for chiral selective sensing by introducing cyclodextrins as chiral binding sites. The rapid chiral sensing was successfully tested for different enantiomers.
