Abstract
The potential of coordination polymers (CPs) as a host of integrating multiple guest species to construct a fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) nanoprobe was demonstrated. The ZnCPs built from zinc(II) and adenine was employed as a model of CPs to integrate carbon dot (CD) and phenol red (PR) for producing the FRET nanoprobe (CD/PR@ZnCPs). Benefiting from the confinement effect of ZnCPs, the integrated CD and PR can be brought in close proximity to favor the occurrence of FRET process from CD to PR, which leads to the quenching of CD fluorescence. However, the FRET process was disrupted upon the red-shift of PR absorption from 428 to 562 nm in alkaline medium, and consequently switches on the fluorescence of CD/PR@ZnCPs. Based on this finding, by utilizing urease to hydrolyze urea and mediate medium pH, a turn-on fluorescent method was established for the detection of urease activity. This fluorescent method has a linear response that covers 5 to 150 U/L urease with a detection limit of 0.74 U/L and exhibits an excellent selectivity over other enzymes. The successful determination of urease in saliva samples demonstrates the applicability of the fluorescent nanoprobe in complex biological matrix.

Abstract
Lower alcohols (C1-C7) have a close relationship with our lives and some of them are harmful to our body's health. For example, liquor mixed with a tiny amount of methanol is harmful to our health. Much of this study is about identifying one or two low-level alcohols. How to detect low-level alcohol and high-throughput and distinguish between analogues of alcohol remains a tremendous challenge. In this study, a new large ring Schiff base Sm(III) complex (Sm-2r) is synthesized with a double emission matrix using the template method. Its dynamic imine bond (CN) and organic ligands (H2L2r) with molecular rotor properties can respond to changes in viscosity and polarity in external environments. The PCA method is used to turn the data matrix into a fingerprint spectrum to distinguish different alcohols (C1-C7). Sm-2r enables the quantization of cyclopropyl and glycerol. Linear ranges of cyclopropanol and glycerol are 0-9.0% and 0-3.0% (v/v), respectively. In addition, Sm-2r has an excellent ability to distinguish the mixtures of n-PrOH and i-PrOH, C5H9OH and C6H11OH, n-PeOH and n-HeOH, 1,3-PDO and 1,2-PDO, MeOH and EtOH, 1,2-EG and 1,2-PDO at different volume ratios. We have provided a way to distinguish alcohol species based on their molecular polarity and viscosity.

Abstract
Coordination polymers have been extensively studied in recent years. Some of these materials can exhibit several properties such as permanent porosity, high surface area, thermostability and light emission, as well as open sites for chemical functionalization. Concerning the fact that this kind of compounds are usually solids, the size and morphology of the particles are important parameters when an application is desired. Inside this context, there is a subclass of coordination polymers, named infinite coordination polymers (ICPs), which auto-organize as micro- or nanoparticles with low crystallinity. Specifically, the particles exhibiting spherical shapes and reduced sizes can be better dispersed, enter cells much easier than bulk crystals and be converted to inorganic materials by topotactic transformation. Luminescent ICPs, in particular, can find applications in several areas, such as sensing probes, light-emitting devices and bioimaging. In this review, we present the state-of-the-art of ICP-based spherical particles, including the growth mechanisms, some applications for luminescent ICPs and the challenges to overcome in future commercial usage of these materials.

Abstract
Copper nanoclusters (Cu NCs) have attracted a surge of interest in fluorescent sensors as their outstanding physicochemical and optical properties. However, most of the reports have focused on single-signal fluorescent sensors, which are susceptible to background interferences and affect accuracy of the results. Herein, we constructed a facile ratiometric fluorescent sensor for monitoring ethanol based on Cu NCs with tunable dual emission. Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP)-modified Cu NCs were simply prepared in water, which exhibit ratiometric dual emission, including a strong green emission at 520 nm and a weak blue emission at 450 nm. The PVP-Cu NCs in water with strong green emission display monodisperse state due to the formation of hydration shell around Cu NCs. In ethanol where the hydration shell is destructed, Cu NCs tend to aggregate and show strong blue emission. This emission shift might attribute to the enhancement of Cu-Cu metallophilic interaction with the aggregation of Cu NCs, which induces the excited-state level increasing. Thus, a ratiometric fluorescent probe for ethanol based on the PVP-Cu NCs is fabricated, which possesses rapid response (<1 min), and realize full-range detection from 0 to 100%. In addition, this ratiometric probe is successfully applied to determine the alcohol strength of alcohol beverages, demonstrating the great potential in practical application.

Abstract
Metal-organic framework (MOF) based stimuli-responsive polymers (coordination polymers) exhibit reversible phase-transition behavior and demonstrate attractive properties that are capable of altering physical and/or chemical properties upon exposure to external stimuli, including pH, temperature, ions, etc., in a dynamic fashion. Thus, their conformational change can be imitated by the adsorption/desorption of target analytes (guest molecules), temperature or pressure changes, and electromagnetic field manipulation. MOF-based stimuli responsive polymers have received great attention due to their advanced optical properties and variety of applications. Herein, we summarized some recent progress on MOF-based stimuli-responsive polymers (SRPs) classified by physical and chemical responsiveness, including temperature, pressure, electricity, pH, metal ions, gases, alcohol and multi-targets.

Abstract
This work demonstrates a new strategy for sensing cerebrospinal acetylcholinesterase (AChE) as a cholinergic biomarker for brain dysfunction based on graphene quantum dot (GQD)-functionalized lanthanide infinite coordination polymer (Ln-ICP) nanoparticles. The ICPs used in this work were comprised of two components, i.e. a supramolecular Ln-ICP host formed by the coordination between the GMP ligand and central metal ion Tb3+, and guest GQDs with abundant functional groups, which were utilized as antenna ligands to further sensitize the fluorescence of Tb/GMP. Upon excitation at 300 nm, the obtained GQD@Tb/GMP ICP nanoparticles exhibited enhanced green fluorescence from Tb/GMP. With the addition of Cu2+, the competitive coordination between Cu2+ and GQDs weakened the antenna effect, leading to a decrease in the fluorescence of GQD@Tb/GMP ICPs. However, in the presence of thiocholine (TCh), a thiol-containing compound hydrolyzed from acetylthiocholine (ATCh) by AChE, a stronger coordination interaction between Cu2+ and TCh occurred, resulting in the restoration of the fluorescence of GQD@Tb/GMP ICPs. Using the method established herein, the cerebrospinal AChE fluctuation of rats with acute organophosphorus pesticide (OP) poisoning or chronic Alzheimer's disease (AD) could be monitored. This study essentially provides a novel approach to realize the direct monitoring of a biomarker for brain dysfunction by regulating the competitive coordination interaction reversibly, which is critical in the early diagnosis and therapy of brain diseases.

Abstract
In this study, by rationally designing the stimulus response of graphene quantum dot (GQD)-sensitized terbium/guanine monophosphate (Tb/GMP) infinite coordination polymer (ICP) nanoparticles, we have constructed a smartphone-based colorimetric assay with ratiometric fluorescence, which could be applied for the detection of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and organophosphorus pesticides (OPs) directly. First, GQDs with abundant functional groups were chosen as the guest, which not only could be used as one of the signal readouts but also served as the antenna ligand to further sensitize the fluorescence of the host Tb/GMP. Upon being excited at 330 nm, the green fluorescence of the Tb/GMP host is highly enhanced, while the blue fluorescence of GQDs is suppressed due to the confinement of the ICP host. With the presence of thiocholine (TCh), an enzymatic product hydrolyzed from acetylthiocholine (ATCh) by AChE, the competitive coordination of Tb3+ between GMP and TCh results in the collapse of the ICP network and thereby the release of GQDs into the solution; thus, the fluorescence of Tb/GMP turns off and the fluorescence of GQDs turns on. The dual-responsive ratiometric fluorescent intensity change leads to the corresponding green-to-blue fluorescent color change obviously, which constitutes a novel mechanism for the colorimetric analysis of AChE. Moreover, when OPs are subsequently introduced, the activity of AChE is blocked, thus preventing the stimulus response of GQD@Tb/GMP ICP nanoparticles, leading to the fluorescent color change from greenish-blue to green, which could also be employed for OP detection. Benefitting from the high sensitivity, good reliability, and the obvious color changes, the method demonstrated here is a promising candidate to realize smartphone-based point-of-use applications, which is of great importance for timely clinical diagnosis and treatment of OPs related to health issues with AChE as an exposure biomarker in less industrialized countries, in remote settings, or even in home care services.

Abstract
A smartphone-based detection platform for the determination of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is described. The method is based on the rational design of the stimulus-response of 7-methoxycoumarin-3-carboxylic acid (7-MC-3-COOH)-functionalized Eu-AMP infinite coordination polymer (ICP) nanoparticles. The blue fluorescence of 7-MC-3-COOH at 403 nm was suppressed, while the red fluorescence of Eu3+ at 615 nm was sensitized after the formation of 7-MC-3-COOH@Eu-AMP ICP. Upon exposure to ALP, the dephosphorylation of AMP resulted in the destruction of 7-MC-3-COOH@Eu-AMP ICP, and thereby, the blue fluorescence of 7-MC-3-COOH recovered; in the meantime, the sensitized red fluorescence was quenched. With the fluorescence intensity ratio F615/F430 as the signal readout, ALP can be detected within a concentration range 0.001 to 0.15 U mL-1, and the limit of detection (LOD) was 0.00035 U mL-1. Moreover, fluorescence color changes from red to blue could also be recognized by a portable device with the smartphone as a signal reader, and direct point-of-use testing (POUT) for ALP within a concentration range 0.005 to 0.7 U mL-1 could be realized, with LOD of 0.0015 U mL-1. Endowed with high sensitivity and superior reliability, the assay enabled direct monitoring of P-related water eutrophication in a freshwater lake with ALP as an indicator.

Abstract
Recently, chemical compounds containing lanthanides were used in various fields of biology and medicine. It has been described that such compounds can be applied in scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to increase the contrast and simplify the sample preparation process due to the process of replacing calcium with lanthanides in cell. However cell death by different mechanisms under influence of lanthanides seems possible. Here, we described that mummification process is a cell death physiologically realized in time: some time after lanthanide contrasting, the cell remains metabolically active and is able to biochemically transform neodymium-containing contrast, oxidize it and form large agglomerates. A distinctive feature of mummification induced by neodymium-containing contrast (NCC) is the formation of a high-rigid oxygen-containing "shield" on the surface of a neutrophil granulocyte.

Abstract
Herein, a novel ratiometric fluorescent probe based on CDs@Eu/GMP ICP nanoparticles was developed for the detection of Aβ monomer in rat as a biomarker for Alzheimer's disease (AD) by fully exploring the competitive coordination interaction and by taking advantage of excellent optical property of carbon dots sensitized lanthanide infinite coordination polymer (ICP) nanoparticles. The carbon dots (CDs) with abundant functional groups were encapsulated into Eu/GMP ICPs through self-adaptive chemistry, which could not only sensitize the red fluorescence of Eu/GMP ICPs effectively, but also act as an internal reference for self-correction. In the absence of Cu2+, the as-formed CDs@Eu/GMP ICPs exhibited the characteristic emission of CDs at 400 nm and strong emission of Eu3+ at 592 nm, 615 nm, 650 nm and 694 nm. With the addition of Cu2+, the red fluorescence of Eu3+ decreased due to the coordination interaction between CDs and Cu2+, thus destroyed the antenna effect. After the subsequent addition of Aβ monomer, the specific binding occurred between Cu2+ and Aβ monomer, and then the red fluorescence of Eu3+ restored again. During this process, the fluorescence of CDs remained unchanged, thus could be used as an internal reference to cancel out the environmental fluctuation and was more adaptive for the detection of Aβ monomer in biological fluids. The method demonstrated here was highly sensitive, free from the interference of other species in rat brain, the in vivo analysis of Aβ monomer in CSF and different brain regions from normal rats and Alzheimer's rats could be realized, which was of great significance for better understanding the mechanism of AD and paving the way to understand the chemical essence involved in AD.

Abstract
Easy-to-use sensors for ethanol solutions have broad applications ranging from monitoring alcohol quality to combating underage drinking. Although there are a number of electronic and colorimetric sensors available for determining alcohol concentration, there is currently no device that can concurrently provide a prompt, well-defined, quickly recoverable readout and remain readily affordable. Here, we developed a field-ready, colorimetric indicator that provides a fast, clear identification of ethanol-water mixtures between 0 and 40% based on the discoloration of a wetted photonic crystal. We cooperatively exploit the iridescence and the geometrical gating in silica inverse opal films (IOFs), together with a fine-tuned surface chemistry gradient, to distinguish ethanol concentrations by their wettability patterns in the different segments of the IOFs. The resultant all-in-one colorimetric sensor delivers a striking and instantaneous optical response at an ethanol concentration as low as 5%. We further improve the ease of use by seamlessly integrating this colorimetric platform with drinking glassware (a glass stirrer and a vial). This research provides an optimal means for colorimetric ethanol detection and is a step toward the immersible sensing of diverse molecules (e.g., biomarkers) in aqueous solutions without expensive laboratory tests.

Abstract
2,2'-Thiodiacetic acid derivatives have a wide application potential, mainly in coordination chemistry. This research indicates that quaternary ammonium 2,2'-thiodiacetate salts may also be potent herbicidal agents used in agriculture. To provide a rationale for this statement, the toxic effect by a alkyl and aryl quaternary ammonium salts (QASs) on plant growth was investigated. The phytotoxicity of these compounds was tested against cultivated monocotyledonous (spring barley) and dicotyledonous (common radish) plants, whereas herbicidal activity was investigated in relation to popular weeds species (white goosefoot, sorrel and gallant-soldier). The results showed that aliphatic QASs possessed a low phytotoxicity to food crops and that some of them (in particular triethylammonium salt) had potent and selective herbicidal properties against common weeds, such as sorrel and gallant-soldier. However, the investigated compounds appeared to be ineffective herbicides against white goosefoot.

Abstract
2,2'-Thiodiacetates with their excellent complexing properties may be used as metal extraction agents, fluorescent and superparamagnetic materials, antibacterial and anticancer medical agents, however there are no data concerning the environmental impact of 2,2'-thiodiacetates derivatives and data definying the potential hazard connected with their use. This study describes the ecotoxicity assessment of seven 2,2'-thiodiacetates with non-metallic, alkyl and aryl ammonium cations, which were obtained in an environmentally friendly, solvent-free syntheses. The ecotoxicity of these water soluble compounds was tested in aquatic and benthic environments using luminescent marine bacteria Vibrio fischeri (Microtox® test) and the crustaceans Heterocypris incongruens (Ostracodtoxkit F™), respectively. The antimicrobial and antifungal activity against Trichoderma viridis, Aspergillus niger, Rhizoctonia solani and Escherichia coli was also investigated. The results showed how structural changes within ammonium cations themselves influence ecotoxicity: the QASs with alkylammonium cations exhibited a similar, rather low toxicity both to Vibrio fischeri and Heterocypris incongruens, and they would not pose a risk to these organisms in case of leakage. Higher toxicity was observed in case of two isoquinolinium salts, however it was rather associated with the heteroaromatic cation, than with the 2,2'-thiodiacetate anion.

Abstract
In our study, the carbon nanodots (CDs) were synthesized by one-step solvothermal method using resorcinol as the only presusor. The obtained CDs contained abundant unsaturated oxygen-containing groups resulting from the surface oxidation. A novel, simple, and real-time fluorescent assay for the detection of water in various organic solvents was thus established by reducing the surface oxidation states. Excellent reversibility can be readily achieved by the external stimulus water and N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC). The water-induced sensitive (limit of detection = 0.006%, v/v, in ethanol) and ultrafast (<1 s) response in emission properties was capable of water determination in spirit samples in both solution and solid-state paper test strips.

Abstract
This work focused on the development of a novel ratiometric fluorescence sensor for detection of Hg2+ by using dye-doped lanthanide infinite coordination polymer (Ln-ICP) particles. The dye-doped Ln-ICP used herein was prepared by self-assemble of adenosine monophosphate (AMP) with Ce3+ and Tb3+ (Ce/Tb-AMP) through self-adaptive chemistry, in which the fluorescent dye coumarin was encapsulated during the assembly process as a guest molecule. Under 310 nm irradiation, the obtained coumarin@Ce/Tb-AMP itself emitted characteristic green luminescence of Tb3+, accompanied with a weak fluorescence at 445 nm originated from coumarin encapsulated in the Ce/Tb-AMP networks. The fluorescence emission of coumarin became strong when it was released to the solution. In the presence of Hg2+, the coumarin@Ce/Tb-AMP was destroyed due to the specific coordination interaction between AMP and Hg2+, which leaded to the release of coumarin to the solution meanwhile. Consequently, the fluorescence of Ce/Tb-AMP was quenched, while that of coumarin enhanced. On the basis of this strategy, we developed a novel ratiometric fluorescent sensor for the detection of Hg2+ by measuring the ratio of fluorescent intensity of the coumarin@Ce/Tb-AMP suspension, which showed a wide linear range from 0.08 to 1000 nM and detection limit of 0.03 nM with high selectivity and sensitivity. Furthermore, the constructed ratiometric fluorescent sensor was successfully applied in detecting Hg2+ in drinking water and human blood serum (HBS) with satisfactory results.
