Anal Chim Acta 2023; 1249:340925. [PMID: 36868767 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2023.340925] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/02/2022] [Revised: 01/30/2023] [Accepted: 01/30/2023] [Indexed: 02/05/2023]
Abstract
A rhodamine hydrazide conjugating uridine moiety (RBH-U) is firstly synthesized by screening different synthetic routes, and then developed as a fluorescence probe for selective detection of Fe3+ ions in an aqueous solution, accompanied by visual color change with naked eyes. Upon the addition of Fe3+ in a 1:1 stoichiometry, a 9-fold enhancement in the fluorescence intensity of the RBH-U was observed with an emission wavelength of 580 nm. In the presence of other metal ions, the "turn-on" fluorescent probe with pH-independent (value 5.0 to 8.0) is remarkably specific for Fe3+ with a detection limit as low as 0.34 μM. Further, the enhanced fluorescence intensity of RBH-U- Fe3+ can be quenched as a switch-off sensor to assist in the recognition of Cu2+ ions. Additionally, the colocalization assay demonstrated that RBH-U containing uridine residue can be used as a novel mitochondria-targeted fluorescent probe with rapid reaction time. Cytotoxicity and cell imaging of RBH-U probe in live NIH-3T3 cells suggest that it can be a potential candidate for clinical diagnosis and Fe3+ tracking toll for the biological system due to its biocompatibility and nontoxicity in NIH-3T3 cells even up to 100 μM.

Abstract
Photonic crystals (PCs) with fascinating structural color nanomaterials present effectively spontaneous emission modulation and selectively optical signal amplification. Stretchability or elasticity could enable the feasible tunability for structural colors. Aimed at the regulation of structural colors, we endeavored to achieve the PC nanomatrix evolution and optical property during stretching. In this work, a rainbow structural color by stretchable PCs was exploited to provide abundant optical information for multianalyte recognition. The finite element analysis proved the electric field distribution in the PC matrix, which completely matched with the phenomenon of the measured PC spectra. By simply employing analysis of the multistate PC during stretching, the mono PC matrix chip can differentially enhance fluorescence signals in broad spectral regions, resulting in diverse sensing information for high-efficiency multianalysis. The stretchable PC chip can facilely discriminate 14 similar structured saccharides with a minimum concentration of 10-7 M using only one fluorescence complex. Furthermore, saccharides in different concentrations, mixtures, and real samples (beverages and sweets) also can be successfully distinguished. The exploration on fluorescent stretch dependence behavior of the photonic crystal contributes the biomatching optical platform for wearable devices, dynamic environment, clinical, or health monitoring auxiliary.

Abstract
Invisible photonic patterns (IPPs) are photonic materials that can display hidden patterns under external stimulation and are attractive in anti-counterfeiting devices and information storage. In this work, we report a solvent-responsive invisible photonic pattern (SRIPP) with high contrast by polymerizing two monomers of acrylamide (AAm) and poly(ethylene glycol) methacrylate (PEGMA) with different solubility parameters in different regions of poly(hydroxyethyl methacrylate) photonic gels. The two regions with different solvent responsiveness can shrink and swell in the same environment, thus causing the colors of different regions of photonic gel to shift in opposite directions from the initial state. As a result, the contrast of photonic patterns is significantly improved, increasing naked-eye visualization. In addition, by introducing fluorescent substances into the photonic gel and adjusting the photonic band gap (PBG) of photonic gels, we realize the regulation of fluorescence emission and display of fluorescence patterns by utilizing different PBGs on the SRIPP. Dynamic solvent responsiveness patterns and fluorescence patterns are integrated into a photonic gel, showing great potential in information storage and multiple-mode anti-counterfeiting applications.

Abstract
Photonic crystal (PhC) light emitter (PC-LE) devices attract extensive attention in anticounterfeiting for their manipulated light emission and iridescent structural color, but their large-scale three-dimensional fabrication is still limited by poor mechanical strength and microstructural defects. Herein, colloidal nanospheres incorporated with photoluminescent dye were assembled to three-dimensional PC-LE devices through a large-scale compressing-induced strategy, which realized dual iridescent and reversible photochromic colors. Periodically distributed refractive indices between molten molecular chains and cross-linked nanospheres generated the iridescent structural color. Subsequently, the device surface reflected another different structural color after partially removing the surface molecular chains by etching. The light emission intensity of the dye was sufficient to obtain the reversible photochromic colors. Simultaneously, the manipulation toward light emission of the photonic band gap achieved the shape of the photoluminescent intenstiy spectra that varied in accordance with the reflective peak. Furthermore, by use of screen-printing tools and transparent masking glue, the etching process became an inkless color printing process, generating a colorful bar code (2 cm × 2 cm) on the device surface. The code was reversibly displayed and encrypted through control of the reflection and emission of light. Significantly, the PC-LE devices opened up a new route for advanced display, color printing, and anticounterfeiting stickers.
