Abstract
Crystalline organic-inorganic hybrids, which exhibit colorimetric responses to ionizing radiation, have recently been recognized as promising alternatives to conventional X-ray dosimeters. However, X-ray-responsive organic-inorganic hybrids are scarce and the strategy to fine-tune their detection sensitivity remains elusive. Herein, an unprecedented mixed-ligand strategy is reported to modulate the X-ray detection efficacy of organic-inorganic hybrids. Deliberately blending the stimuli-responsive terpyridine carboxylate ligand (tpc- ) and the auxiliary pba- group with different ratios gives rise to two OD thorium-bearing clusters (Th-102 and Th-103) and a 1D coordination polymer (Th-104). Notably, distinct X-ray sensitivity is evident as a function of molar ratio of the tpc- ligand, following the trend of Th-102 > Th-103 > Th-104. Moreover, Th-102, which is exclusively built from the tpc- ligands with the highest degree of π-π interactions, exhibits the most sensitive radiochromic and fluorochromic responses toward X-ray with the lowest detection limit of 1.5 mGy. The study anticipates that this mixed-ligand strategy will be a versatile approach to tune the X-ray sensing efficacy of organic-inorganic hybrids.

Abstract
A novel radio-photoluminescence material featuring fluorochromic responses toward UV or X-ray irradiation has been obtained. Such a unique monomer- to excimer-based luminescence transition allows for dosimetry of ionizing radiation in a ratiometric manner. Rather than quenching the luminescence, the radiation-induced radical species of Th-105 boost the excimer emission, rendering it as a rare material possessing radical-excimers.

Abstract
A highly sensitive detection of ultraviolet (UV) radiation is required in a broad range of scientific research, chemical industries, and health-related applications. Traditional UV photodetectors fabricated by direct wide-band-gap inorganic semiconductors often suffer from several disadvantages such as complicated manufacturing procedures, requiring multiple operations and high-cost instruments to obtain a readout. Searching for new materials or simple strategies to develop UV dosimeters for quantitative, accurate, and on-site detection of UV radiation dose is still highly desirable. Herein, a photochromic uranyl-based coordination polymer [(UO2)(PBPCA)·DMF]·DMF (PBPCA = pyridine-3,5-bis(phenyl-4-carboxylate), DMF = N,N'-dimethylformamide, denoted as SXU-1) with highly radiolytic and chemical stabilities was successfully synthesized via the solvothermal method at 100 °C. Surprisingly, the fresh samples of SXU-1 underwent an ultra-fast UV-induced (365 nm, 2 mW) color variation from yellow to orange in less than 1 s, and then the color changed further from orange to brick red after the subsequent irradiation, inspiring us to develop a colorimetric dosimeter based on red-green-blue (RGB) parameters. The mechanism of radical-induced photochromism was intensively investigated by UV-vis absorption spectra, EPR analysis, and SC-XRD data. Furthermore, SXU-1 was incorporated into an optoelectronic device to fabricate a novel dosimeter for convenient, quantitative, and on-site detection of UV radiation dose.

Abstract
In consideration of the severe hazards of radioactive uranium pollution and the growing demand of uranium resources, the novel sensor/adsorbent composite was creatively developed to integrate the dual functions for on-site detection of uranium contamination and efficient recovery of uranium resources. By hybridizing the luminescent 3D terbium (III) metal-organic framework (Tb-MOF) with sodium alginate (SA) gel using terbium (III) as cross-linker, the Tb-MOF/Tb-AG was fabricated with multi-luminescence centers and sufficient binding sites for uranium. Notably, the ultra-high sensitivity with detection limit as low as 1.2 ppt was achieved, which was 4 orders of magnitude lower than the uranium contamination standard in drinking water (USEPA) and even comparable to the sensitivity of the ICP-MS. Furthermore, the very wide quantification range (1.0 ×10-9-5.0 ×10-4 mol/L), remarkable adsorption capacity (549.0 mg/g) and outstanding anti-interference ability have been achieved without sophisticated sample preparation procedures. Applied in complex natural water samples from Uranium Tailings and the Pearl River, this method has shown good detection accuracy. The ultra high sensitivity and great adsorption capacity for uranium could be ascribed to the synergistic coordination, hydrogen bonding and ion exchange between uranium and Tb-MOF/Tb-AG. The mechanisms were explored by infrared spectroscopy, batch experiments, X-ray photoelectron studies and energy dispersive spectroscopic studies. In addition, the Tb-MOF/Tb-AG can be reused for uranium adsorption.

Abstract
Photochromic viologen-based materials have emerged as one of the most promising candidates for the development of X-ray light detection applications, including medical diagnosis and treatment, environmental radiation inspection, and industrial crack detection. However, the design and construction of low-dose X-ray-sensitive complexes remains an immense challenge, especially for the in-depth dissection of their response mechanisms. Herein, by using N,N'-4,4'-bipyridiniodipropionate (CV) as functional sensitive structural units and cadmium as heavy atoms, two cadmium-viologen complexes with one-dimensional chained structures, namely, [Cd2Cl4(CV)(H2O)2]n (1) and [CdBr2(CV)]n (2), have been constructed, which exhibit a remarkable and selective photochromic response to low-dose X-ray radiation detection. Compound 1 is visually sensitive to both X-ray and UV light due to the more accessible photoinduced electron transfer (ET) pathways, while compound 2 only shows a slight color-changing process in response to UV light, in conformity with UV-vis absorbance analyses and kinetic studies. Surprisingly, compound 2 has longer ET pathways than 1, but not in response to high-energy X-ray light, seeming to contradict the previous phenomena. On further analysis, the key point in achieving X-ray-sensitive behavior should be a good balance among the electron donor-acceptor distance, intermolecular interaction, and X-ray absorbing capacity, as verified by density functional theory (DFT) and X-ray absorption strength calculations, X-ray photoelectron spectra, electron paramagnetic resonance measurements, and independent gradient model analysis. In particular, compound 1 is unprecedentedly sensitive to soft X-ray radiation, accompanied by an X-ray detection limit of as low as 2.91 Gy. These findings push forward the further development of low-dose X-ray sensing materials.

Abstract
The three zwitterionic di- and tricarboxylate ligands 1,1'-[(2,3,5,6-tetramethylbenzene-1,4-diyl)bis(methylene)]bis(pyridin-1-ium-4-carboxylate) (pL1), 1,1'-[(2,3,5,6-tetramethylbenzene-1,4-diyl)bis(methylene)]bis(pyridin-1-ium-3-carboxylate) (mL1), and 1,1',1″-[(2,4,6-trimethylbenzene-1,3,5-triyl)tris(methylene)]tris(pyridin-1-ium-4-carboxylate) (L2) have been used as ligands to synthesize a series of 15 uranyl ion complexes involving various anionic coligands, in most cases polycarboxylates. [(UO2)2(pL1)2(cbtc)(H2O)2]·10H2O (1, cbtc4- = cis,trans,cis-1,2,3,4-cyclobutanetetracarboxylate) is a discrete, dinuclear ring-shaped complex with a central cbtc4- pillar. While [UO2(pL1)(NO3)2] (2), [UO2(pL1)(OAc)2] (3), and [UO2(pL1)(HCOO)2] (4) are simple chains, [(UO2)2(mL1)(1,3-pda)2] (5, 1,3-pda2- = 1,3-phenylenediacetate) is a daisy chain and [UO2(pL1)(pdda)]3·10H2O (6, pdda2- = 1,2-phenylenedioxydiacetate) is a double-stranded, ribbon-like chain. Both [UO2(pL1)(pht)]·5H2O (7, pht2- = phthalate) and [(UO2)3(mL1)(pht)2(OH)2] (8) crystallize as diperiodic networks with the sql topology, the latter involving hydroxo-bridged trinuclear nodes. [(UO2)2(pL1)(c/t-1,3-chdc)2] (9, c/t-1,3-chdc2- = cis/trans-1,3-cyclohexanedicarboxylate) and [UO2(pL1)(t-1,4-chdc)]·1.5H2O (10, t-1,4-chdc2- = trans-1,4-cyclohexanedicarboxylate) are also diperiodic, with the V2O5 and sql topologies, respectively. Both [(UO2)2(mL1)(c/t-1,4-chdc)2] (11) and [(UO2)2(pL1)(1,2-pda)2] (12, 1,2-pda2- = 1,2-phenylenediacetate) crystallize as diperiodic networks with hcb topology, and they display threefold parallel interpenetration. [HL2][(UO2)3(L2)(adc)3]Br (13, adc2- = 1,3-adamantanedicarboxylate) contains a very corrugated hcb network with two different kinds of cells, and the uncoordinated HL2+ molecule associates with the coordinated L2 to form a capsule containing the bromide anion. [(UO2)2(pL1)(kpim)2] (14, kpim2- = 4-ketopimelate) is a three-periodic framework with pL1 molecules pillaring fes diperiodic subunits, whereas [(UO2)2(L2)2(t-1,4-chdc)](NO3)1.7Br0.3·6H2O (15), the only cationic complex in the series, is a triperiodic framework with dmc topology and t-1,4-chdc2- anions pillaring fes diperiodic subunits. Solid-state emission spectra and photoluminescence quantum yields are reported for all complexes.

Abstract
Radiation protective materials are widely applied to avoid occupational hazards from either particle emissions or high-energy electromagnetic waves. Herein, we present a boron imidazolate framework (BIF) as a novel neutron shielding additive with high neutron capture cross-section elements B/Li and H. The BIF1-based epoxy resin matrix (Ep-BIF1) possesses high thermal stability and excellent resistance capacity. The neutron radiation shielding property was characterized using an Am-Be source, in which the thermal neutron shielding efficiency of Ep-BIF1 is notably higher than that of Ep-B4C with equal boron concentration, showing potential applications as an advanced efficient neutron radiation shielding composite.

Abstract
Synergistic assembly of uranyl centres and luminescent 2,6-bis(pyrazol-1-yl)pyridine-4-carboxylates (bppCOOH) gives rise to a uranyl coordination polymer, namely U-bppCOO, which exhibits a luminescence quenching response toward UV or X-ray irradiation doses. Notably, the photosensitivity of U-bppCOO has been significantly enhanced via metal-ligand assembly compared with that of the naked bppCOOH ligand.

Abstract
This perspective highlights the recent advances in the structural and practical aspects of thorium-based metal-organic frameworks (Th-MOFs) and molecular clusters. Thorium, as an underexplored actinide, features surprisingly rich coordination geometries and accessibility of the 5f orbital. These features lead to a myriad of topologies and electronic structures, many of which are undocumented for other tetravalent metal-containing MOFs or clusters. Moreover, Th-MOFs inherit the modularity, structural tunability, porosity, and versatile functionality of the state-of-the-art MOFs. Recognizing the radioactive nature of these thorium-bearing materials that may limit their practical uses, Th-MOFs and Th-clusters still have great potential for various applications, including radionuclide sequestration, hydrocarbon storage/separation, radiation detection, photoswitch, CO2 conversion, photocatalysis, and electrocatalysis. The objective of this updated perspective is to propose pathways for the renaissance of interest in thorium-based materials.

Optical Detection of Acetone Using " Turn-Off" Fluorescent Rice Straw Based Cellulose Carbon Dots Imprinted onto Paper Dipstick for Diabetes Monitoring. ACS OMEGA 2022; 7:16766-16777. [PMID: 35601306 PMCID: PMC9118203 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.2c01492] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/12/2022] [Accepted: 04/26/2022] [Indexed: 05/08/2023]
Abstract
Persistent bad breath has been reported as a sign of serious diabetes health conditions. If an individual's breath has a strong odor of acetone, it may indicate high levels of ketones in the blood owing to diabetic ketoacidosis. Thus, acetone gas in the breath of patients with diabetes can be detected using the current easy-to-use fluorescent test dipstick. In another vein, rice straw waste is the most well-known solid pollutant worldwide. Thus, finding a simple technique to change rice straw into a valuable material is highly important. A straightforward and environmentally friendly approach for reprocessing rice straw as a starting material for the creation of fluorescent nitrogen-doped carbon dots (NCDs) has been established. The preparation process of NCDs was carried out via one-pot hydrothermal carbonization using NH4OH as a passivation substance. A testing strip was developed on the basis of cellulose CD nanoparticles (NPs) immobilized onto cellulose paper assay. The NCDs demonstrated a quantum yield of 23.76%. A fluorescence wavelength was detected at 443 nm upon applying an excitation wavelength of 354 nm. NCDs demonstrated remarkable selectivity for acetone gas as their fluorescence was definitely exposed to quenching by acetone as a consequence of the inner filter effect. A linear correlation was observed across the concentration range of 0.5-150 mM. To detect and measure acetone gas, the present cellulose paper strip has a "switch off" fluorescent signal. A readout limit was accomplished for an aqueous solution of acetone as low as 0.5 mM under ambient conditions. The chromogenic fluorescence of the cellulose assay responsiveness depends on the fluorescence quenching characteristic of the cellulose carbon dots in acetone. A thin fluorescent cellulose carbon dot layer was deposited onto the surface of cellulose strips by a simple impregnation process. CDs were made using NP morphology and analyzed using infrared spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The carbon dot distribution on the paper strip was evaluated by scanning electron microscope and energy-dispersive X-ray analysis. The absorption and fluorescence spectral analyses were investigated. The paper sheets' mechanical qualities were also examined.

Abstract
Crystallization and immobilization of actinides to form actinide compounds are of significant importance for the extraction and reutilization of nuclear waste in the nuclear industry. In this paper, the state-of-art progress in the crystallization of actinides are summarized, as well as the main functionalization of the actinide compounds, i.e., as adsorbents for heavy metal ions and organic pollutant in waste management, as (photo)catalysts for organic degradation and conversion, including degradation of organic dyes and antibiotics, dehydrogenation of N-heterocycles, CO2 cycloaddition, selective alcohol oxidation and selective oxidation of sulfides. This review will give a comprehensive summary about the synthesis and application exploration of solid actinide crystalline salts and actinide-based metal organic frameworks in the past decades. Finally, the future perspectives and challenges are proposed in the end to give a promising direction for future investigation.

Abstract
Here, we report a series of two-dimensional lanthanide metal-organic frameworks Ln-DBTPA (where DBTPA = 2,5-dibromoterephthalic acid and Ln = Tb (1), Eu (2), or Gd (3)) showing a unique turn-up responsiveness toward ultraviolet (UV) radiation. The luminescence enhancement was derived from the accumulated radicals that can promote the intersystem crossing process. The compound 1 shows an ultralow detection limit of 9.1 × 10-9 J toward UV radiation, representing a new type of luminescent UV detectors.

Abstract
A brand-new application of thorium-bearing clusters in the field of ionizing radiation detection is exemplified by two novel hexanuclear thorium clusters, Th-bppCOO-1 and Th-bppCOO-2, which incorporate carboxylate-functionalized 2,6-di(pyrazol-1-yl)pyridine ligands. Notably, Th-bppCOO-1 is composed of an unprecedented [Th6(OH)4O4(H2O)5]12+ secondary building unit, the Th6 core of which is decorated by five H2O molecules. Furthermore, selective photoluminescence quenching responses of Th-bppCOO-1 and Th-bppCOO-2 toward X-ray over UV radiation have been demonstrated for the first time.

Abstract
Detection and remediation of radioactive components have become the focus of worldwide research interest due to the ever-increasing generation of nuclear waste and the concerns on nuclear accidents. Among the numerous radionuclides, uranium and its isotopes receive the most attention because of their high proportion in nuclear waste and long half-life. Herein, a highly luminescent terbium-organic framework, formulated as [Tb4(C29O8H17)2(NO3)4(DMF)4(H2O)4]·4H2O·8.5DMF (YTU-100), with exceptional sensitivity and selectivity toward uranium was successfully prepared. The material exhibits fast adsorption kinetics and moderate sorption capacity. Interestingly, the luminescence intensity variation highly correlates to the amount of adsorbed uranium, which results in a quantitative, accurate, and selective uranium detection manner. The detection limits in deionized water and tap water were determined to be 1.07 and 0.75 ppb, respectively, which are lower than the US Environmental Protection Agency standard of the maximum contamination of uranium in drinking water. YTU-100 offers an alternative approach for building multifunctional MOFs used for simultaneous detection and removal of uranium from aqueous solutions.

Abstract
By first applying a thorium-organic framework (Th-SINAP-2) as a radiation attenuator and by incorporating a terpyridine derivative (Htpbz) as a photo-responsive guest, selective photochromism in response to X-rays was achieved in the host-guest assembly of Htpbz@Th-SINAP-2. Such a combination endows the afforded material with the lowest detection limit of X-ray dose among all photochromic sensors and a brand-new function of X-ray dosimetry for thorium containing materials.
