Abstract
In the recently discovered proton-coupled energy transfer (PCEnT) mechanism, the transfer of electronic excitation energy between donor and acceptor chromophores is coupled to a proton transfer reaction. Herein, we develop a general theory for PCEnT and derive an analytical expression for the nonadiabatic PCEnT rate constant. This theory treats the transferring hydrogen nucleus quantum mechanically and describes the PCEnT process in terms of nonadiabatic transitions between reactant and product electron-proton vibronic states. The rate constant is expressed as a summation over these vibronic states, and the contribution of each pair of vibronic states depends on the square of the vibronic coupling as well as the spectral convolution integral, which can be viewed as a generalization of the Förster-type spectral overlap integral for vibronic rather than electronic states. The convolution integral also accounts for the common vibrational modes shared by the donor and acceptor chromophores for intramolecular PCEnT. We apply this theory to model systems to investigate the key features of PCEnT processes. The excited vibronic states can contribute significantly to the total PCEnT rate constant, and the common modes can either slow down or speed up the process. Because the pairs of vibronic states that contribute the most to the PCEnT rate constant may correspond to spectroscopically dark states, PCEnT could occur even when there is no apparent overlap between the donor emission and acceptor absorption spectra. This theory will assist in the interpretation of experimental data and will guide the design of additional PCEnT systems.

Abstract
This study presents functionalized metal-organic frameworks nanosheets (RuMOFNSs) with strong electrochemiluminescence (ECL) and fluorescence (FL) properties and a novel signal marker-tetraferrocene. Based on the efficient quenching effect of the tetraferrocene on RuMOFNSs, a "signal switch" ECL-FL dual-mode sensor is constructed for sensitive detection of paraquat (PQ). ECL and FL signals are annihilated after adding paraquat-aptamer DNA (PQ-Apt DNA) labeled with tetraferrocene since it is close to RuMOFNSs. PQ is added, and the strong binding and intermolecular interaction between PQ-Apt DNA and PQ induces spatial separation, with tetraferrocene groups far away from RuMOFNSs. At this point, ECL and FL signals are restored. The change in ECL and FL signals realized the quantitative determination of the PQ solution. In addition, the dual-mode sensor exhibits high sensitivity and specificity with detection limits as low as 0.008 ng/mL and 0.059 ng/mL. The proposed sensor is successfully applied to determine PQ, indicating its great application potential in the food industry.

A non-invasive wearable stress patch for real-time cortisol monitoring using a pseudoknot-assisted aptamer. Biosens Bioelectron 2023; 227:115097. [PMID: 36858023 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2023.115097] [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: 12/02/2022] [Revised: 12/29/2022] [Accepted: 01/19/2023] [Indexed: 01/30/2023]
Abstract
Stress is part of everyone's life and is exacerbated by traumatic events such as pandemics, disasters, violence, lifestyle changes, and health disorders. Chronic stress has many detrimental health effects and can even be life-threatening. Long-term stress monitoring outside of a hospital is often accomplished by measuring heart rate variability. While easy to measure, this digital biomarker has low specificity, greatly limiting its utility. To address this shortcoming, we report a non-invasive, wearable biomolecular sensor to monitor cortisol levels in sweat. Cortisol is a neuroendocrine hormone that regulates homeostasis as part of the stress pathway. Cortisol is detected using an electrochemical sensor functionalized with a pseudoknot-assisted aptamer and a flexible microfluidic sweat sampling system. The skin-worn microfluidic sampler provides rapid sweat collection while separating old and new sweat. The conformation-switching aptamer provides high specificity towards cortisol while being regenerable, allowing it to monitor temporal changes continuously. The aptamer was engineered to add a pseudoknot, restricting it to only two states, thus minimizing the background signal and enabling high sensitivity. An electrochemical pH sensor allows pH-corrected amperometric measurements. Device operation was demonstrated invitro with a broad linear dynamic range (1 pM - 1 μM) covering the physiological range and a sub-picomolar (0.2 pM) limit of detection in sweat. Real-time, on-body measurements were collected from human subjects using an induced stress protocol, demonstrating in-situ signal regeneration and the ability to detect dynamic cortisol fluctuations continuously for up to 90 min. The reported device has the potential to improve prognosis and enable personalized treatments.

Abstract
Developing "green" catalytic systems with desirable performance such as solubility, recyclability, and switchability is a great challenge. However, inspired by nature, the studies on synthesis and activity of artificial switchable metal catalysts and organocatalysts have become an intense, fervid, and challenging field of research. The peculiarity of these catalysts is that they can be generally triggered in the "on" or "off" states by several external stimuli such as light, heat, solvents, pH change, coordination events or ion influxes, redox processes, mechanical forces, or other changes in reaction conditions. A large number of review articles are available in these areas. However, most efforts are currently focused on the invention of new types of switchable catalysts with different forms of stimuli-response units incorporated within their architectures in order to achieve control over the catalytic activity and regio-, chemo- and stereocontrol of various chemical reactions. Thus, in this review, we begin with a brief introduction to switchable catalysts, followed by discussion of types of stimuli and the influence factors on their activities in the field of biomedical engineering, and catalysis as well as related catalytic mechanisms summarized and discussed. The emphasis is on the recent advances utilized in artificial switchable catalysis.

Abstract
Ferrocene (Fc) is a common quencher of Ru(bpy)32+ luminescence. However, interactions between Fc and Ru(bpy)32+ can be extremely complicated. In this work, we reported the first use of Fc to regulate the electrochemiluminescence (ECL) of Ru(bpy)32+ by tuning the length of the DNA sequence between Fc and the luminophore of nitrogen-doped graphene quantum dots-Ru(bpy)32+-doped silica nanoparticles (SiO2@Ru-NGQDs). The ECL of SiO2@Ru-NGQDs was depressed when the distance between Ru(bpy)32+ and Fc was less than 8 nm; a stronger ECL was observed when the distance was more than 12 nm. The switching of the ECL of Ru(bpy)32+ by Fc was attributed to the electron transfer mechanism, in which Fc participated in the redox of Ru(bpy)32+ for "signal-off" ECL; this favored electron transfer at the electrode fabricated with an Fc-labeled aptamer (Fc-apt) and SiO2@Ru-NGQDs for "signal-on" ECL depending on the length of the DNA sequence. Here, a dual-signal readout aptasensor for aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) detection was developed via the enhanced ECL of SiO2@Ru-NGQDs by Fc-apt. The redox currents of Fc and the ECL of Ru(bpy)32+ were simultaneously collected as yardsticks, and both decreased with higher concentrations of AFB1. The aptasensor allowed linear ranges of 3 × 10-5 to 1 × 102 ng mL-1 for ECL mode and 1 × 10-3 to 3 × 103 ng mL-1 for electrochemical mode. Our work provides insight into the interactions between Fc and Ru(bpy)32+. The dual-signal readout strategy is a potential platform for the versatile design of aptasensors.

Abstract
To improve the efficiency of the photocatalytic decarbonylation of cyclopropenones, the effects of substituents on cyclopropenone were explored. A benzothiophene-substituted aminocyclopropenone exhibited significantly improved decarbonylation efficiency to produce the corresponding ynamine, which worked as a potent dehydration condensation agent. The benzothiophene derivative was applicable to the photocatalytic reaction in the presence of potential excited-state quenchers such as oxygen and anilines. The high catalyst sensitivity would be attributed to the involvement of triplet energy transfer reaction pathway, which was not observed in the reaction with previously reported aminocyclopropenones.

Abstract
Herein a regioselective addition/annulation strategy of ferrocenyl (Fc) thioamides with alkynes to construct thienylferrocene (ThienylFc) structures, involving a rhodium-catalyzed C-H activation, an unusual C2-selective addition of 1,3-diyne, and an unexpected intramolecular sulfur-transfer rearrangement process is described. In this protocol, thioamide not only serves as a directing group to activate the ortho-C-H bond of the ferrocene, but also as a sulfur source to form the thiophene ring. The resulting carboxylic ester group after sulfur transfer can act as a linkage to construct extended π-conjugated ferrocenes (OCTFc) with luminescent properties. ThienylFc displays effective fluorescence quenching due to the photoinduced electron transfer (PET) from the Fc unit to the excited luminophore, which turns out to be a promising type of redox molecular switch. OCTFc exhibit relatively strong emission owing to their intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) characteristics. The ring-fused strategy is herein employed for the first time to construct luminescent materials based on ferrocenes, which provides inspiration for the development of novel organic optoelectronic materials, such as electroluminescent materials based on ferrocenes.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a treatment in which photoactive compounds delivered to cancerous tissues are excited with light and then transfer the absorbed energy to adjacent tissue oxygen molecules to generate toxic singlet oxygen (1O2). As 1O2 is produced only where light and photosensitizers (PSs) are combined, PDT holds promise as a minimally invasive, highly selective treatment for certain cancers. The practical application of PDT requires easily synthesized, water-soluble PSs that have low dark toxicities, high 1O2 quantum yields, and efficient absorption of 650-850 nm near-infrared (NIR) light, which deeply penetrates tissue. We recently developed a linear tetrapyrrole metal complex, Pd[DMBil1]-PEG750, that meets most of these criteria. This complex is remarkably effective as a PS for PDT against triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells but, critically, it does not absorb NIR light, which is necessary to treat deeper tumors. To enable NIR activation, we synthesized a new derivative, Pd[DMBil1]-PEG5000-SH, which bears a thiol functionality that facilitates conjugation to NIR-absorbing gold nanoshells (NSs). Upon excitation with pulsed 800 nm light, NSs emit two-photon-induced photoluminescence spanning 500-700 nm, which can sensitize the attached PSs to initiate PDT. Additionally, NSs produce heat upon 800 nm irradiation, endowing the NS-PS conjugates with an auxiliary photothermal therapeutic (PTT) capability. Here, we demonstrate that NS-PS conjugates are potent mediators of NIR-activated tandem PDT/PTT against TNBC cells in vitro. We show that Pd[DMBil1]-PEG5000-SH retains the photophysical properties of the parent Pd[DMBil1] complex, and that NS-PS generate 1O2 under pulsed 800 nm irradiation, confirming activation of the PSs by photoluminescence emitted from NSs. TNBC cells readily internalize NS PS conjugates, which generate reactive oxygen species in the cells upon pulsed NIR irradiation to damage DNA and induce apoptosis. Together, these findings demonstrate that exploiting photoluminescent NSs as carriers of efficient Pd[DMBil1] PSs is an effective strategy to enable NIR light-activated tandem PDT/PTT.
