JACS AU 2024; 4:1954-1965. [PMID: 38818060 PMCID: PMC11134381 DOI: 10.1021/jacsau.4c00187] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2024] [Revised: 04/26/2024] [Accepted: 04/29/2024] [Indexed: 06/01/2024]
Abstract
Materials with stimuli-responsive purely organic room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) exempt from exquisite molecular design and complex preparation are highly desirable but still relatively rare. Moreover, most of them work in a single switching mode. Herein, we employ a versatile host-guest-doped strategy to facilely construct efficient RTP systems with multimode stimuli-responsiveness without ingenious molecular design. By conveniently doping butterfly-like guests, namely, N,N'-diphenyl-dihydrodibenzo[a,c]phenazines (DPACs), featured with vibration-induced emission into the small-molecular hosts via various methods, RTP systems with finely tunable photophysical properties are readily obtained. Through systematic mechanistic studies and with the aid of a series of control experiments, we unveil the critical role of the host crystallinity in achieving efficient RTP. By virtue of the inherent environmental sensitivity of both RTP and fluorescence of the DPACs, our systems exhibit multiple-stimuli-responsiveness with the luminescence not only switching between the fluorescence and phosphorescence but also continuously changing in the fluorescence color. Advanced dynamic anticounterfeiting and multilevel information encryption is thereby realized.

Abstract
A new AIE-based luminogen TPES, as a ratiometric fluorescence probe for mercury(II) was readily synthesized. The probe combined the advantages of the outstanding specificity of Hg2+-triggered deprotection reaction of thioketal and the brilliant emission of AIEgens in aggregated state. Once encountered aqueous Hg2+, fluorescent color of TPES in THF-H2O (fw = 98%) altered from blue to green rapidly, while other metal cations gave no interference to the probe. And the mechanism of this chemosensor was carefully verified by 1H NMR analysis, FTIR and MS spectra. As expected, TPES exhibits excellent selectivity and sensitivity towards Hg2+ in the solid state. When using filter paper as the solid medium, the fabricated test strips could signify Hg2+ ions with the LOD as 1 × 10-5 M (Hg2+ in aqueous solution), accompanied with a distinct emitting altered from blue to green. Furthermore, by changing the medium from filter paper to silica gel plate, a more significant fluorescence alteration from blue to yellow was achieved, and the LOD was further optimized to 1 × 10-6 M as discerned by naked-eye.

Abstract
Development of fluorescent sensors with large Stokes shift for selective detection of heavy metals is of great importance. A novel fluorescent probe with extremely large Stokes shift (212 nm) was synthesized for selective and simultaneous detection of Hg2+ and Ag+ ions. The deep yellow probe turned colorless or pale yellow after addition of Hg2+ or Ag+. The new probe could be utilized for absorption spectral detection of Hg2+ and Ag+ both in ethanol and aqueous solution. Addition of Hg2+ and Ag+ ions caused significant decrease in the fluorescence intensity of the new probe and the selective recognition of Hg2+ and Ag+ was not interfered by common competitive metal ions including Li+, Na+, K+, Cu2+, Fe2+, Zn2+, Co2+, Ni2+, Mn2+, Sr2+, Ca2+, Mg2+, Al3+, Cr3+ and Fe3+. The detection limit for Hg2+ and Ag+ was calculated to be 4.68 μM and 4.29 μM, respectively. Application of the new probe for quantitative determination of Hg2+ and Ag+ concentrations in real water samples was accomplished.

Abstract
Herein, pyridinium and 4-vinylpyridinium groups are introduced into the VIE-active N,N'-disubstituted-dihydrodibenzo[a,c]phenazines (DPAC) framework to afford a series of D-π-A-structured dihydrodibenzo[a,c]phenazines in consideration of the aggregation-benefited performance of the DPAC module and the potential mitochondria-targeting capability of the resultant pyridinium-decorated DPACs (DPAC-PyPF6 and DPAC-D-PyPF6). To modulate the properties and elucidate the structure-property relationship, the corresponding pyridinyl/4-vinylpyridinyl-substituted DPACs, i.e., DPAC-Py and DPAC-D-Py, are designed and studied as controls. It is found that the strong intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) effect enables the effective separation of the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) of DPAC-PyPF6 and DPAC-D-PyPF6, which is conducive to the generation of ROS. By adjusting the electron-accepting group and the π-bridge, the excitation, absorption, luminescence, photosensitizing properties as well as the mitochondria-targeting ability can be finely tuned. Both DPAC-PyPF6 and DPAC-D-PyPF6 display large Stokes shifts (70-222 nm), solvent-dependent absorptions and emissions, aggregation-induced emission (AIE), red fluorescence in the aggregated state (λem = 600-650 nm), aggregation-promoted photosensitizing ability with the relative singlet-oxygen quantum yields higher than 1.10, and a mitochondria-targeting ability with the Pearson coefficients larger than 0.85. DPAC-D-PyPF6 shows absorption maximum at a longer wavelength, slightly redder fluorescence and better photosensitivity as compared to DPAC-PyPF6, which consequently leads to the higher photocytotoxicity under the irradiation of white light as a result of the larger π-conjugation.

Abstract
Invading mercury would cause many serious health hazards such as kidney damage, genetic freak, and nerve injury to human body. Thus, developing highly efficient and convenient mercury detection methods is of great significance for environmental governance and protection of public health. Motivated by this problem, various testing technologies for detecting trace mercury in the environment, food, medicines or daily chemicals have been developed. Among them, the fluorescence sensing technology is a sensitive and efficient detection method for detecting Hg2+ ions due to its simple operation, rapid response and economic value. This review aims to discuss the recent advances in fluorescent materials for Hg2+ ion detection. We reviewed the Hg2+ sensing materials and divided them into seven categories according to the sensing mechanism: static quenching, photoinduced electron transfer, intramolecular charge transfer, aggregation-induced emission, metallophilic interaction, mercury-induced reactions and ligand-to-metal energy transfer. The challenges and prospects of fluorescent Hg2+ ion probes are briefly presented. We hope that this review can provide some new insights and guidance for the design and development of novel fluorescent Hg2+ ion probes to promote their applications.

Abstract
Based on aggregation-induced emission (AIE) and twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) mechanisms, a fluorescent probe SWJT-12 for the detection of ClO- was designed by using the CN bond as a reactive group. This synthesized probe can react with ClO- in a high aqueous phase, and it shows a large Stokes shift (144 nm) and low biological toxicity. Its limit of detection was calculated to be 0.28 μM. Furthermore, SWJT-12 was successfully used for ratiometric imaging of the exogenous hypochlorite anion in living cells.

Abstract
Since strong polarity usually causes emission quenching, materials with polarity-induced emission (PIE) are rarely reported despite their important applications in polar environments. Herein, an N-phenylcarbazole-substituted benzophenone derivative (BP-3-Cz) with a twisted electron donor-acceptor (D-A) structure is synthesized. The incorporation of heteroatoms into the twisted π-conjugated D-A backbone simultaneously endows BP-3-Cz with obvious polarity- and pressure-induced emission. Spectral analysis, X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry, and quantum chemical calculation results confirm that BP-3-Cz has special optical features related to the molecular conformation change and excited state turning to planarized intramolecular charge transfer with an increase in polarity or applied pressure. These findings contribute to the understanding of the PIE mechanism and the design of new PIE materials.

Abstract
The development of non-invasive and effective viscosity inspection methods during the liquid deterioration process is urgently needed since viscosity is one of the most important physical parameters of liquids. Methods featuring rapid detection, high sensitivity, cheap equipment, and fast result output are greatly desired. In this study, a viscosity-sensitive molecular rotor (BTPEQ) with a large Stokes shift (187 nm), and long emission wavelength (648 nm) has been developed. The rotor is comprised of a bithiophene donor and quinolinium acceptor, and displays a typical twisted intramolecular-charge transfer (TICT) feature, with good photostability, selectivity, and universality in various commercial liquids. With the aid of BTPEQ, the thickening effects of liquid thickeners can be determined. More importantly, BTPEQ was explored to visualize the viscosity variations in liquids at different metamorphic stages, and it was found that the viscosity level in microenvironments is highly dependent on the liquid food metamorphic period. It is worth noting that this approach can facilitate the continued perfection of fluorescent analytical methods for food quality and safety inspection.

Abstract
Although numerous fluorescence sensors for Cu2+ have been presented, a long-wavelength sensor in aqueous media has rarely been reported as expected due to practical application requirements. In this work, a novel AIE molecule (DHBB) containing two biphenylacrylonitrile units bridged by dibenzylidenehydrazine was prepared. It possessed the merits of long-wavelength emission, good emission in aqueous media, and multiple functional groups for binding Cu2+. It exhibited good sensing selectivity for Cu2+ among all kinds of tested metal ions. The detection limit was as low as 1.08 × 10-7 M. The sensing mechanism was clarified as 1:1 stoichiometric ratio based on the binding cooperation of O and N functional groups of DHBB. The selective sensing ability for Cu2+ remained stable at pH = 5-9 and was influenced little by other metal ions. The Cu2+ sensing ability of DHBB was applied in real samples with 96% recovery rate. The bio-imaging experiment of living cells suggested that DHBB possessed not only good bio-imaging performance but also sensing ability for Cu2+ in living environments. This work suggested the good application prospect of DHBB to sense Cu2+ in real samples and living environment.

Abstract
Although some sensors for Cu2+ and Zn2+ had been reported, the sensor with long-wavelength emission in aqueous media for in-situ detecting Cu2+ and Zn2+ was always expected. Herein, a biphenylacrylonitrile Schiff-base (OPBS) with large aromatic conjugated system was designed and synthesized in yield of 82%. OPBS possessed excellent long-wavelength fluorescence at 550-750 nm in aqueous media, which selectively response to sense Cu2+ with quenched fluorescence and Zn2+ with chromotropic fluorescence from red to yellow. The detection of Cu2+ and Zn2+ were realized without mutual interference in their coexistence system by means of the assistance of ATP. The detection limits were 2.3 × 10-7 M for Cu2+ and 1.8 × 10-6 M for Zn2+, respectively. The sensing mechanism was elucidated by binding MS spectra, fluorescence Job's plot and 1H NMR spectra. Moreover, OPBS exhibited good bioimaging performance and the in-situ sensing abilities for Cu2+ and Zn2+ in living cells, suggesting the application potential for detecting Cu2+ and Zn2+ in both vitro assay and vivo environment.

Abstract
Food safety has become one of the urgent affairs in the global public health studies, and irregular viscosity is closely associated with the food spoilage extent. In this study, one kind of activatable molecular rotor (TPA-PBZ) based on triphenylamine derivates has been synthesized via the Schiff base condensation reaction. This rotor is comprised by donor-accepter conjugated structure, with aggregation induced-emission feature and a large Stokes shift of 160 nm in water. The rotation of aromatic rings in TPA-PBZ is restricted in high-viscosity microenvironment, with the gradually increasing fluorescence emission signal at 568 nm. Significantly, this rotor TPA-PBZ has successfully been applied not only in the determination of thickening effects of food gum, but also in the detection of viscosity enhancement during the liquid food spoilage process. This molecular rotor can be utilized as an intelligent monitor platform for food quality and safety inspection in viscosity-related conditions.

Abstract
Organic chromophores with large Stokes shifts and dual emissions are fascinating because of their fundamental and applied interest. Vibration-induced emission (VIE) refers to a tunable multiple fluorescence exhibited by saddle-shaped N,N'-disubstituted-dihydribenzo[a,c]phenazines (DHPs), which involves photo-induced configuration vibrations from bent to planar form along the N-N axis. VIE-active molecules show intrinsic long-wavelength emissions in the unconstrained state (planar state) but bright short-wavelength emissions in the constrained state (bent state). The emission response for VIE-active luminogens is highly sensitive to steric hindrance encountered during the planarization process such that a tiny structural variation can induce an evident change in fluorescence. This can often be achieved by tuning the intensity ratio of short- and long-wavelength bands. In some special cases, the alterations in the emission wavelength of VIE fluorophores can be achieved step by step by harnessing the degree of bending angle motion in the excited state. In this perspective, we summarize the latest progress in the field of VIE research. New bent heterocyclic structures, as novel types of VIE molecules, are being developed, and the general features of the chemical structures are also being proposed. Technologically, novel emission color-tuning approaches and VIE-based probes for visualizing biological activity are presented to demonstrate how the dynamic VIE effect can be exploited for cutting-edge applications.

Abstract
As a global public health problem, food safety has attracted increasing concern. To minimize the risk exposure of food to harmful ingredients, food quality and safety inspection that covers the whole process of "from farm to fork" is much desired. Fluorescent sensing is a promising and powerful screening tool for sensing hazardous substances in food and thus plays a crucial role in promoting food safety assurance. However, traditional fluorphores generally suffer the problem of aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) effect, which limit their application in food quality and safety inspection. In this regard, luminogens with aggregation-induced emission property (AIEgens) showed large potential in food analysis since AIEgens effectively surmount the ACQ effect with much better detection sensitivity, accuracy, and robustness. In this contribution, we review the latest developments of food safety monitoring by AIEgens, which will focus on the molecular design of AIEgens and their sensing principles. Several examples of AIE-based sensing applications for screening food contaminations are highlighted, and future perspectives and challenges in this emerging field are tentatively elaborated. We hope this review can motivate new research ideas and interest to aid food safety and quality control, and facilitate more collaborative endeavors to advance the state-of-the-art sensing developments and reduce actual translational gap between laboratory research and industrial production.

Abstract
The characteristics of chloroplasts harvesting solar energy and conducting energy transfer have inspired chemists to mimic similar processes. However, accurate manipulation to gain regularly displayed antenna chromophores in mimicking chloroplasts is a great challenge. Herein, a rational design is presented that combines orderly arranged chromophores with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) to develop artificial light-harvesting systems. Tetraphenyl ethylene (TPE) molecules, which exhibited strong AIE properties, are considered as building blocks to fabricate high emissive 2D nanosheets and nanovesicles, respectively. Furthermore, the well-aligned TPE molecules are also developed as donor chromophores in light-harvesting processes. After subsequent surface modification by porphyrin molecules as acceptor chromophores, an efficient light-harvesting system has been integrally constructed. This study demonstrates a novel strategy to utilize AIE feature to mimic chloroplasts process in nature.

Abstract
Bent N,N'-diphenyl-dihydrodibenzo[a,c]phenazine amphiphiles are introduced as mechanosensitive membrane probes that operate by an unprecedented mechanism, namely, unbending in the excited state as opposed to the previously reported untwisting in the ground and twisting in the excited state. Their dual emission from bent or "closed" and planarized or "open" excited states is shown to discriminate between micelles in water and monomers in solid-ordered (So ), liquid-disordered (Ld ) and bulk membranes. The dual-emission spectra cover enough of the visible range to produce vesicles that emit white light with ratiometrically encoded information. Strategies to improve the bent mechanophores with expanded π systems and auxochromes are reported, and compatibility with imaging of membrane domains in giant unilamellar vesicles by two-photon excitation fluorescence (TPEF) microscopy is demonstrated.

Abstract
Monitoring specific processes such as gelation in a ratiometric and visual manner is of scientific value and has practical implications but remains challenging. Herein, an innovative fluorescent low-molecular-weight gelator (DPAC-CHOL) capable of revealing and self-revealing the gelation processes in situ and in real time via the ratiometric fluorescence change from orange-red to blue has been developed. By virtue of its vibration-induced emission attribute, the gelation point, critical gelation concentration, and the internal stiffness of the gel networks of DPAC-CHOL and other gelation systems could be facilely evaluated in a ratiometric and naked-eye-observable fashion. Noteworthily, the DPAC-CHOL-doped gelation system Ph-CHOL can quantitatively identify the environmental temperature in a daily-concerned range (i.e., 20-55 °C). This work not only provides a versatile advanced material but also opens up a new avenue for the investigation of gelation systems.

Abstract
Mercuric ion (HgII) is a stable form of mercury pollution with high toxicity and bioaccumulation ability, and its sensitive and visible determination is of great importance. Herein, a simple method to significantly improve the complexation reaction rate between porphyrin and manganous ions (MnII) has been implemented by using the synergistic effect of trace nitrogen-doped graphene quantum dots (NGQDs) and Hg(II). A mechanism is proposed in accordance with a substitution reaction in which the deformed porphyrin nucleus by relatively larger Hg(II) ions is favorable for attacking small divalent metal ions carried by NGQDs from the back. Meanwhile, the formation of metalloporphyrin is accompanied by the absorption red-shift and fluorescence quenching of porphyrins; simultaneously, the fluorescence of NGQDs is gradually enhanced because of the inner filter effect between porphyrins and NGQDs. Thus, the ratiometric fluorescence and colorimetric methods for trace HgII sensing have been proposed on the basis of the distinct absorption/fluorescence spectral changes, which have potential application in complex environmental and biological conditions.

Abstract
Small, apolar aromatic groups, such as phenyl rings, are commonly included in the structures of fluorophores to impart hindered intramolecular rotations, leading to desirable solid-state luminescence properties. However, they are not normally considered to take part in through-space interactions that influence the fluorescent output. Here, we report on the photoluminescence properties of a series of phenyl-ring molecular rotors bearing three, five, six, and seven phenyl groups. The fluorescent emissions from two of the rotors are found to originate, not from the localized excited state as one might expect, but from unanticipated through-space aromatic-dimer states. We demonstrate that these relaxed dimer states can form as a result of intra- or intermolecular interactions across a range of environments in solution and solid samples, including conditions that promote aggregation-induced emission. Computational modeling also suggests that the formation of aromatic-dimer excited states may account for the photophysical properties of a previously reported luminogen. These results imply, therefore, that this is a general phenomenon that should be taken into account when designing and interpreting the fluorescent outputs of luminescent probes and optoelectronic devices based on fluorescent molecular rotors.
