JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 475:134914. [PMID: 38885588 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.134914] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/12/2024] [Revised: 06/03/2024] [Accepted: 06/12/2024] [Indexed: 06/20/2024]
Abstract
Due to the highly toxic nature of mercury ions to living organisms, accurately detecting Hg2+ in water samples and biological systems is of great significance. In this study, we designed and synthesized a novel red-to-near-infrared Aggregation-Induced Emission (AIE) fluorescent probe (named as DS) based Fluorene derivatives on specifically for Hg2+ detection. Probe DS can visually identify Hg2+ through an red-to-near-infrared fluorescence enhancement change, characterized by a large Stokes shift (130 nm) and AIE feature. This probe offers a fast response, high selectivity and sensitivity. The Hg2+-induced deprotection reaction of the thioketal mechanism was thoroughly investigated using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR), mass spectrometry (MS) and density functional theory (DFT) calculation. Additionly, dynamic light scattering (DLS) results indicated that the aggregation states changes of the molecular play a crucial role in the AIE fluorescence response of probe DS toward Hg2+. The red-to-near-infrared response with AIE feature not only avoids the interference of auto-fluorescence signals in complex environments, but also reduces the fluorescence quenching caused by probe molecular aggregation. This makes probe DS highly suitable for high-quality imaging detection of Hg2+ in aqueous environments. Furthermore, probe DS demonstrates the capability for visual fluorescence detection of Hg2+ concentrations in water sample, plant roots and living cells.

Abstract
In this study, a novel multi-stimulus responsive RGB fluorescent organic molecule, RTPE-NH2, was designed and synthesized based on the combination of aggregation-induced emission tetraphenylethylene (TPE) luminophore and acid-responsive fluorescent molecular switch Rhodamine B. RTPE-NH2 exhibits aggregation-induced emission behavior, as well as UV irradiation-stimulus and acid-stimulus responsive fluorescence properties. It could emit orange-red (R), green(G), and blue(B) light in both solution and PMMA film under 365 nm excitation. The dark through-bond energy transfer (DTBET) mechanism was proposed and supported by control experiments and TD-DFT calculations. The synthesis and application of RTPE-NH2 could accelerate the development of organic smart materials with high sensitivity and excellent optical properties.

Abstract
The rapid and sensitive detection of chemical compounds in body fluids and tissues is important for diagnosis of diseases and assessment of the effectiveness of treatment programs. Point-of-care (POC) sensors based on fluorescence signals have been widely used in the rapid detection of various infectious diseases. However, the aggregation-caused quenching phenomenon of conventional fluorescent probes limits the sensitivity and accuracy of fluorescent POC sensors. In this review, we first focus on aggregation-induced emission (AIE)-based POC detection for early diagnosis of diseases and then describe how to use mechanisms of AIE to improve the sensitivity of POC testing. This review gives a summary of the design mechanisms of AIE probes in AIE-based biosensors. Subsequently, it summarizes the design strategies of AIE-based POC sensors in the detection of ions, small molecules, nucleic acids, proteins, and whole entity (cells, bacteria, viruses, and exosomes), placing an emphasis on signal amplification. Finally, it gives an overview of AIE-based POC biosensors, including probes, instruments, and applications. We hope that this review will provide valuable guidance for further expanding the application of AIE luminogens in POC biosensors.

Shedding Novel Photophysical Insights Toward Discriminative Detection of Three Toxic Heavy Metal Ions and a hazard class 1 nitro-explosive By Using a Simple AIEE Active Luminogen. J Fluoresc 2024; 34:1401-1425.

Abstract
In this work, we introduced a simple aggregation-induced emission enhancement (AIEE) sensor (PHCS) which can selectively detect and discriminate three environmentally and biologically imperative heavy metal ions (Cu2+, Co2+ and Hg2+) and a hazard class 1 categorized nitro-explosive picric acid (PA) in differential media. By virtue of its weak fluorescence attributes in pure organic medium owing to the synergistic operation of multiple photophysical quenching mechanisms, the molecular probe showcased highly selective 'TURN ON' fluorogenic response towards hazardous Hg2+ with a limit of detection (LOD) as low as 97 nM. Comprehensive investigation of binding mechanism throws light on the cumulative effect of probe-metal complexation induced chelation enhanced fluorescence (CHEF) effect and subsequent AIEE activation within the formed probe-metal adducts. Noteworthily, the probe (PHCS) can be readily used in real water samples for the quantitative determination of Hg2+ in a wide concentration range. In addition, the probe displayed modest colorimetric recognition performances to selectively detect and discriminate two essential heavy metal ions (Cu2+ and Co2+) with a LOD of 96 nM and 65 nM for Cu2+ and Co2+ respectively, in semi-aqueous medium. Intriguingly, based on high photoluminescence efficiency, the AIEE active nano-aggregated PHCS displayed a remarkable propensity to be used as a selective and ultra-sensitive 'TURN-OFF' fluorogenic chemosensor towards PA with LOD of 34.4 ppb in aqueous medium. Finally, we specifically shed light on the interaction of PHCS hydrosol towards PA using some unprecedented techniques, which helped uncover new photophysical insights of probe-explosive molecule interaction.

Abstract
Self-indicating polymers have emerged as a promising class of smart materials that possess the unique ability to undergo detectable variations in their physical or chemical properties in response to various stimuli. This article presents an overview of the most important mechanisms through which these materials exhibit self-indication, including aggregation, phase transition, covalent and non-covalent bond cleavage, isomerization, charge transfer, and energy transfer. Aggregation is a prevalent mechanism observed in self-indicating polymers, where changes in the degree of molecular organization result in variations in optical or electrical properties. Phase transition-induced self-indication relies on the transformation between different phases, such as liquid-to-solid or crystalline-to-amorphous transitions, leading to observable changes in color or conductivity. Covalent bond cleavage-based self-indicating polymers undergo controlled degradation or fragmentation upon exposure to specific triggers, resulting in noticeable variations in their structural or mechanical properties. Isomerization is another crucial mechanism exploited in self-indicating polymers, where the reversible transformation between the different isomeric forms induces detectable changes in fluorescence or absorption spectra. Charge transfer-based self-indicating polymers rely on the modulation of electron or hole transfer within the polymer backbone, manifesting as changes in electrical conductivity or redox properties. Energy transfer is an essential mechanism utilized by certain self-indicating polymers, where energy transfer between chromophores or fluorophores leads to variations in the emission characteristics. Furthermore, this review article highlights the diverse range of applications for self-indicating polymers. These materials find particular use in sensing and monitoring applications, where their responsive nature enables them to act as sensors for specific analytes, environmental parameters, or mechanical stress. Self-indicating polymers have also been used in the development of smart materials, including stimuli-responsive coatings, drug delivery systems, food sensors, wearable devices, and molecular switches. The unique combination of tunable properties and responsiveness makes self-indicating polymers highly promising for future advancements in the fields of biotechnology, materials science, and electronics.

Abstract
Mercury is a harmful heavy metal that seriously threatens the environment and organisms. In this study, we combined the aggregation-induced emission mechanism and the advantages of peptides to design a novel tetraphenylene (TPE)-based peptide fluorescent probe, TPE-Cys-Pro-Gly-His (TPE-CPGH), in which the sulfhydryl group of Cys in the peptide chain and the imidazolium nitrogen provided by His were used to mimic the Hg2+ binding site of metalloproteins. The β-fold formed by Pro-Gly was used to promote the spatial coordination of the probe with Hg2+ and the formation of the coordination complex aggregates, these changes led to the "turn on" response to Hg2+. The detection of Hg2+ by TPE-CPGH not only showed high specificity and sensitivity (LOD=46.2 nM), but also had the advantages of fast response and applicability for detection over a wide pH range. Additionally, TPE-CPGH effectively detected Hg2+ in environmental samples, living cells and organisms due to its low cytotoxicity, high water solubility and cell membrane permeability. More interestingly, TPE-CPGH was also mitigated Hg2+ exposure-induced oxidative stress toxicity in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
The chemosensor literature contains many reports of fluorescence sensing using polyaromatic hydrocarbon fluorophores such as pyrene, tetraphenylethylene, or polyaryl(ethynylene), where the fluorophore is excited with ultraviolet light (<400 nm) and emits in the visible region of 400-500 nm. There is a need for general methods that convert these "turn-on" hydrocarbon fluorescent sensors into ratiometric sensing paradigms. One simple strategy is to mix the responsive hydrocarbon sensor with a second non-responsive dye that is excited by ultraviolet light but emits at a distinctly longer wavelength and thus acts as a reference signal. Five new cyanine dye cassettes were created by covalently attaching a pyrene, tetraphenylethylene, or biphenyl(ethynylene) component as the ultraviolet-absorbing energy donor directly to the pentamethine chain of a deep-red cyanine (Cy5) energy acceptor. Fluorescence emission studies showed that these Cy5-cassettes exhibited large pseudo-Stokes shifts and high through-bond energy transfer efficiencies upon excitation with ultraviolet light. Practical potential was demonstrated with two examples of ratiometric fluorescence sensing using a single ultraviolet excitation wavelength. One example mixed a Cy5-cassette with a pyrene-based fluorescent indicator that responded to changes in Cu2+ concentration, and the other example mixed a Cy5-cassette with the fluorescent pH sensing dye, pyranine.

Abstract
The bottom-up molecular science research paradigm has greatly propelled the advancement of materials science. However, some organic molecules can exhibit markedly different properties upon aggregation. Understanding the emergence of these properties and structure-property relationship has become a new research hotspot. In this work, by taking the unique closed-form rhodamines-based aggregation-induced emission (AIE) system as model compounds, we investigated their luminescent properties and the underlying mechanism deeply from a top-down viewpoint. Interestingly, the closed-form rhodamine-based AIE system did not display the expected emission behavior under high-viscosity or low-temperature conditions. Alternatively, we finally found that the molecular conformation change upon aggregation induced intramolecular charge transfer emission and played a significant role for the AIE phenomenon of these closed-form rhodamine derivatives. The application of these closed-form rhodamine-based AIE probe in food spoilage detection was also explored.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) represents an emerging noninvasive treatment technique for cancers and various nonmalignant diseases, including infections. During the process of PDT, the physical and chemical properties of photosensitizers (PSs) critically determine the effectiveness of PDT. Traditional PSs have made great progress in clinical applications. One of the challenges is that traditional PSs suffer from aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) due to their discotic structures. Recently, aggregation-induced emission PSs (AIE-PSs) with a twisted propeller-shaped conformation have been widely concerned because of high reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation efficiency, strong fluorescence efficiency, and resistance to photobleaching. However, AIE-PSs also have some disadvantages, such as short absorption wavelengths and insufficient molar absorption coefficient. When the advantages and disadvantages of AIE-PSs and ACQ-PSs are complementary, combining ACQ-PSs and AIE-PSs is a "win-to-win" strategy. As far as we know, the conversion of traditional representative ACQ-PSs to AIE-PSs for phototheranostics has not been reviewed. In the review, we summarize the recent progress on the ACQ-to-AIE transformation of PSs and the strategies to achieve desirable theranostic applications. The review would be helpful to design more efficient ACQ-AIE-PSs in the future and to accelerate the development and clinical application of PDT.

Abstract
Methylmercury (MeHg) readily accumulates in aquatic organisms while transferring and amplifying in the aquatic food chains. This study firstly explores the in vivo accumulation sites and metabolic regulation of MeHg in the rotifer Brachionus plicatilis by aggregation-induced emission fluorogen (AIEgen) and metabolomics. Fluorescent image analysis by AIEgen showed that MeHg in B. plicatilis mainly occured in the ciliary corona, esophagus, mastax, stomach and intestine in the direct absorption group. In the other group, where B. plicatilis were indirectly supplied with MeHg via food intake, the accumulation of MeHg in the rotifer occurred in the ciliary corona, various digestive organs, and the pedal gland. However, the MeHg accumulated in the rotifer is difficult to metabolize outside the body. Metabolomics analysis showed that the significant enrichment of ABC transporters was induced by the direct exposure of rotifers to dissolved MeHg. In contrast, exposure of rotifers to MeHg via food intake appeared to influence carbon, galactose, alanine, aspartate and glutamate metabolisms. Besides, the disturbed biological pathways such as histidine metabolism, beta-alanine metabolism and pantothenate and CoA biosynthesis in rotifers may be associated with L-aspartic acid upregulation in the feeding group. The significant enrichment of ABC transporters and carbon metabolism in rotifers may be related to the accumulation of MeHg in the intestine of rotifers. In both pathways of MeHg exposure, the arginine biosynthesis and metabolism of rotifers were disturbed, which may support the hypothesis that rotifers produce more energy to resist MeHg toxicity. This study provides new insight into the accumulation and toxicity mechanisms of MeHg on marine invertebrates from the macro and micro perspectives.

A terpyridyl-rhodamine hybrid fluorescent probe for discriminative sensing of Hg (II) and Cu (II) in water and applications for molecular logic gate and cell imaging. SPECTROCHIMICA ACTA. PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2023; 302:123124.

Abstract
Sensitive and discriminative sensing of more than one analyte with a single fluorescent probe is significant and challenging. Herein a new terpyridyl-rhodamine hybrid, namely TRH, has been rationally designed and prepared with two responsive groups in the molecular structure, which facilitate the discriminative detection of Hg2+ and Cu2+ ions in water with detection limits of 4.9 and 53.3 nM by ratiometric fluorescence change (F595/F485) and fluorescence quenching, respectively. Investigations show that the selectivity to Hg2+ ions can be attributed to Hg2+-promoted spirolactam ring opening and further hydrolysis, followed by a through-bond energy transfer (TBET) process. The selective fluorescence quenching to Cu2+ ions probably can be ascribed to the binding Cu2+ to terpyridyl that triggers a ligand-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT) process, which can also efficiently inhibit the TBET process induced by Hg2+ ions and promotes the discriminative sensing of Cu (II) and Hg (II). In addition, the fluorescent responses to Hg2+ and Cu2+ ions cover a wide pH range. Moreover, a combinatorial logic gate with the functions of NOR and INHIBIT has been fabricated by using Hg2+ and Cu2+ ions as chemical input signals, and fluorescence at 485 and 595 nm as output signals. Besides, TRH also exhibits sensitive and discriminative sensing ability to Hg2+ and Cu2+ ions by the fluorescence of rhodamine fluorophore. Significantly, based on the fluorescence signal output of rhodamine moiety, TRH can be used as a tracer for the discriminative sensing of Hg2+ and Cu2+ ions by using living cells.

Abstract
A novel reaction-based fluorescent probe 1 for Hg2+ was designed and synthesized. 1 was almost nonfluoresent due to inhibition of the ESIPT process between hydroxy group and imid carbonyl oxygen by diphenylphosphinothioate group. After reacting with Hg2+, the fluorescence intensity of 1 exhibited significant enhancement owing to recovery of the ESIPT process via Hg2+-promoted desulfurization-hydrolysis of the diphenylphosphinothioate moiety and cleavage of the P-O bond. 1 not only showed rapid response, high sensitivity, excellent selectivity for Hg2+ over other metal ions, but also could detect Hg2+ with large Stokes shift (165 nm), which was attributed to the ESIPT process. Moreover, the reaction mechanism was fully validated by absorption spectra, fluorescence spectra, fluorescence color as well as ESI-MS analysis. 1 is the reaction-based ESIPT fluorescent probe for the detection of Hg2+ with large Stokes shift, rapid response, high sensitivity and selectivity.

Abstract
A novel mitochondrion-targeted Hg2+-specific fluorescent probe 1 based on ESIPT phthalimide was designed and synthesized for the first time. Owing to the blockage of the ESIPT process between the hydroxy group and the carbonyl oxygen of the imide by the diphenylphosphinothioate group, 1 was almost nonfluorescent. After reacting with Hg2+, 1 exhibited a dramatic fluorescence enhancement due to the recovery of the ESIPT process through Hg2+-induced desulfurization-hydrolysis of the diphenylphosphinothioate moiety and the cleavage of the P-O bond. 1 showed a large Stokes shift, rapid response and high sensitivity and selectivity for Hg2+ over other metal ions. Moreover, 1 was successfully employed to image Hg2+ in the mitochondria of living cells.

Abstract
A calix[4]arene-based gelator 1, with lower-rim mono triazolylpyridine group, capable of spontaneous self-assembly into microspheres in different ethanol/H2 O mixtures, is synthesized. The concentration-dependent 1 H NMR spectra and X-ray single-crystal structure of 1 provided evidence for self-assembly of gelator 1 via cooperative interactions of intermolecular noncovalent forces. Furthermore, metallogels by self-assembly of 1 was found to exhibit remarkable selectivity toward Hg2+ ions. 1 H NMR spectra support that Hg2+ ion was bound to the nitrogen atoms of two coordination sites of 1, which composed of triazole and pyridine. Moreover, the results of field emission scanning electron microscopy and rheology experiments indicated that Hg2+ ions not only enhanced the gelling ability of gelator 1 in ethanol but also led to morphological change of its self-assembly through metal-ligand interactions. Finally, the in situ gelation, triggered by mixing a gelator solution of 1 in ethanol with water samples such as deionized (DI), tap, and lake water, leads to the effective removal of Hg(II) from a water sample which reduced from 400 to 1.6 ppm.

Abstract
Considerable progress in the construction of efficient fluorescence-resonance energy transfer (FRET) systems has promoted the development of artificial energy transfer materials. However, despite recent advances, the exploration of efficient and easy strategies to fabricate novel supramolecular systems with FRET activities is still a challenge. Here, we report that a two-step FRET system was successfully achieved, driven by platinum metallacycle based host-guest interactions. The two-step FRET system is used for the preparation of a white-light-emitting diode and serves as a nanoreactor for the photosynthetic process. This work offers a strategy for the fabrication of FRET systems and opens opportunities for functional materials constructed by platinum(II) metallacycle based host-guest interactions.

Abstract
The shortage of freshwater resources caused by heavy metal pollution is an acute global issue, which has a great impact on environmental protection and human health. Therefore, the exploitation of new strategies for designing and synthesizing green, efficient, and economical materials for the detection and removal of heavy metal ions is crucial. Among the various methods for the detection and removal of heavy ions, advanced functional systems including nanomaterials, polymers, porous materials, and biomaterials have attracted considerable attention over the past several years due to their capabilities of real-time detection, excellent removal efficiency, anti-interference, quick response, high selectivity, and low limit of detection. In this tutorial review, we review the general design principles underlying the aforementioned functional materials, and in particular highlight the fundamental mechanisms and specific examples of detecting and removing heavy metal ions. Additionally, the methods which enhance water purification quality using these functional materials have been reviewed, also current challenges and opportunities in this exciting field have been highlighted, including the fabrication, subsequent treatment, and potential future applications of such functional materials. We envision that this tutorial review will provide invaluable guidance for the design of functional materials tailored towards the detection and removal of heavy metals, thereby expediting the development of high-performance materials and fostering the development of more efficient approaches to water pollution remediation.

Abstract
An easy naked-eye detection technique for mercuric ions in water using silanized quantum dots is demonstrated. Cadmium selenide quantum dots were synthesized and rendered water soluble by silica overcoating. The quantum dot emission was instantly turned off by the mercuric ions in the analyte, enabling visual detection. The emission quenching was associated with a concomitant bathochromic shift, both in the absorption and emission profiles. The underlying mechanism is a permanent surface modification of quantum dots by mercuric ions, altering the electronic structure and, in turn, the photophysical properties. The results confirmed the potential of this simple system to be customized for on-site visual detection of mercury contamination in water bodies, biological fluids, and soil with high selectivity and sensitivity.

Abstract
The pollution caused by mercury ions (Hg2+) poses a potential threat to public health. Therefore, monitoring Hg2+ concentration in the environment is necessary and significant. In this work, a naphthalimide functionalized fluoran dye NAF has been prepared, which shows a new red-shift in emission at 550 nm with the maximum intensity in a mixture of water-CH3CN (v/v = 7/3) due to aggregating induced emission (AIE) effect. Meanwhile, NAF can be employed as a Hg2+ ions sensor, which displays a selective and sensitive response to Hg2+ ions by the reduced fluorescence of naphthalimide fluorophore and increased fluorescence of fluoran group, respectively, showing ratiometric fluorescence signal changes with more than 65-fold emission intensity ratio increase and naked eyes visible color change. In addition, the response time is fast (within 1 min) and the sensing can be conducted in a wide pH range (4.0-9.0). Moreover, the detection limit has been evaluated to be 5.5 nM. The sensing mechanism may be attributed to the formation of a π-extended conjugated system due to the Hg2+ ions-induced conversion of spironolactone to the ring-opened form, partially accompanied by the fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) process. Significantly, NAF exhibits suitable cytotoxicity to living HeLa cells, which allows it to be utilized for ratiometric imaging of Hg2+ ions assisted by confocal fluorescence imaging.

Abstract
The small molecule built around the benzene ring, diacetyl phenylenediamine (DAPA), has attracted much attention due to its synthesis accessibility, large Stokes shift, etc. However, its meta structure m-DAPA does not fluoresce. In a previous investigation, it was found that such a property is due to the fact that it undergoes an energy-reasonable double proton transfer conical intersection during the deactivation of the S1 excited-state, then returns to the ground state by a nonradiative relaxation process eventually. However, our static electronic structure calculations and non-adiabatic dynamics analysis results indicate that only one reasonable non-adiabatic deactivation channel exists: after being excited to the S1 state, m-DAPA undergoes an ultrafast and barrierless ESIPT process and reaches the single-proton-transfer conical intersection. Subsequently, the system either returns to the keto-form S0 state minimum with proton reversion or returns to the single-proton-transfer S0 minimum after undergoing a slight twist of the acetyl group. The dynamics results show that the S1 excited-state lifetime of m-DAPA is 139 fs. In other words, we propose an efficient single-proton-transfer non-adiabatic deactivation channel of m-DAPA that is different from previous work, which can provide important mechanistic information of similar fluorescent materials.

Abstract
As one of the most toxic metals, Mercury ions cause serious environmental pollution and threaten the health of living organisms. Hence, we designed and synthesised a new near-infrared (NIR) ratiometric fluorescent probe toward monitoring of Hg2+ based on quinoline-fused rhodamine dye. Owing to the specific spirolactam ring-opening reaction, the probe exhibits a ratiometric fluorescent change after treatment of Hg2+ with increased emission in NIR and significantly reduced emission in visible region. The specific response mechanism and dual-channel fluorescence change allow the probe to have remarkable detection selectivity, fast response and high detection sensitivity. Moreover, with the properties of excellent cell permeability and low cytotoxicity, probe can be applied as detection tool for mercury ions with dual-channel ratiometric fluorescence imaging in living cell.

Abstract
A novel ratiometric fluorescent probe p-RPT was prepared with triphenylamine and a rhodamine derivative. The probe displays high sensitivity and selectivity for Hg2+, which was applied in real water sample detection and biologic cell imaging. Hydrogel-coated paper sensors were fabricated with p-RPT, which displayed fluorescent colour change upon Hg2+ ion contact with a detection limit of 1.2 × 10-8 M (∼10 ppb). In addition, flexible fluorescent p-RPT gloves were developed for visible and wearable Hg2+ detection and applied to detect mercury (II) in river prawn samples. In summary, the p-RPT probe not only shows great potential in mercury (II) detection for food and water, but also provides a new perspective for wearable sensing apparatus.

Abstract
Hg2+ contamination in sewage can accumulate in the human body through the food chains and cause health problems. Herein, a novel aggregation-induced emission luminogen (AIEgen)-encapsulated hydrogel probe for ultrasensitive detection of Hg2+ was developed by integrating hydrophobic AIEgens into hydrophilic hydrogels. The working mechanism of the multi-fluorophore AIEgens (TPE-RB) is based on the dark through-bond energy transfer strategy, by which the energy of the dark tetraphenylethene (TPE) derivative is completely transferred to the rhodamine-B derivative (RB), thus resulting in intense photoluminescent intensity. The spatial networks of the supporting hydrogels further provide fixing sites for the hydrophobic AIEgens to enlarge accessible reaction surface for hydrosoluble Hg2+, as well create a confined reaction space to facilitate the interaction between the AIEgens and the Hg2+. In addition, the abundant hydrogen bonds of hydrogels further promote the Hg2+ adsorption, which significantly improves the sensitivity. The integrated TPE-RB-encapsulated hydrogels (TR hydrogels) present excellent specificity, accuracy and precision in Hg2+ detection in real-world water samples, with a 4-fold higher sensitivity compared to that of pure AIEgen probes. The as-developed TR hydrogel-based chemosensor holds promising potential as a robust, fast and effective bifunctional platform for the sensitive detection of Hg2+.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2023; 445:130612.

Abstract
Noninvasively imaging mercury poisoning in living organisms is critical to understanding its toxicity and treatments. Especially, simultaneous fluorescence imaging of Hg2+ and MeHg+in vivo is helpful to disclose the mysteries of mercury poisoning. The key limitation for mercury imaging in vivo is the low imaging signal-to-background ratio (SBR) and limited imaging depth, which may result in unreliable detection results. Here, we designed and prepared a near-infrared II (NIR II) emissive probe, NIR-Rh-MS, leveraging the "spirolactam ring-open" tactic of xanthene dyes for in situ visualization of mercury toxicity in mice. The probe produces a marked fluorescence signal at 1015 nm and displays good linear responses to Hg2+ and MeHg+ with excellent sensitivity, respectively. The penetration experiments elucidate that the activated NIR-II fluorescence signal of the probe penetrates to a depth of up to 7 mm in simulated tissues. Impressively, the probe can monitor the toxicity of Hg2+ in mouse livers and the accumulation of MeHg+ in mouse brains via intravital NIR-II imaging for the first time. Thus, we believe that detecting Hg2+ and MeHg+ in different organs with a single NIR-II fluorescence probe in mice would assuredly advance the toxicologic study of mercury poisoning in vivo.

Abstract
Some important biological species and microenvironments maintain a complex and delicate dynamic balance in life systems, participating in the regulation of various physiological processes and playing indispensable roles in maintaining the healthy development of living bodies. Disruption of their homeostasis in living organisms can cause various diseases and even death. Therefore, real time monitoring of these biological species and microenvironments during different physiological and pathological processes is of great significance. Fluorescent-probe-based techniques have been recognized as one of the most powerful tools for real time imaging in biological samples. In this Account, we introduce the representative works from our group in the field of fluorescent probes for biological imaging capable of detecting metal ions, small bioactive molecules, and the microenvironment. The design strategies of small molecule fluorescent probes and their applications in biological imaging will be discussed. By regulating the design strategy and mechanism (e.g., ICT, PeT, and FRET) of the electronic and spectral characteristics of the fluorescent platforms, these chemical probes show high selectivity and diverse functions, which can be used for imaging of various physiological and pathological processes. Through the exploration of the rational response mechanism and design strategy, combined with a variety of imaging techniques, such as super-resolution imaging, photoacoustic (PA) imaging, etc., we have realized multimode imaging of the important biological analytes from the subcellular level to the in vivo level, which provides powerful means to study the physiological and pathological functions of these species and microenvironments. This Account aims to offer insights and inspiration for the development of novel fluorescent probes for biological imaging, which could provide powerful tools for the study of chemical biology. Overall, we represent a series of turn-on/turn-off/ratiometric fluorescent/PA probes to visually and dynamically trace biological species and microenvironments in cells and even in vivo that seek higher resolution and depth molecular imaging to improve diagnostic methods and clarify new discoveries related to chemical biology. Our future efforts will be devoted to developing multiorganelle targeted fluorescent probes to study the mechanism of subcellular organelle interaction and employing various dual-mode probes of NIR II and PA imaging to investigate the development of related diseases and treat the related diseases at subcellular and in vivo levels.

Abstract
Tetra-(4-pyridylphenyl)ethylene (TPPE), featuring an aggregation-induced luminescence effect (AIE), has been synthesized and used for selective detection of Hg2+ in DMF/H2O (3:7, v/v) binary solutions. There was a color change from colorless to yellow in the detection of the Hg2+ ions, in addition to an increased fluorescence emission. This shows that TPPE will function as an excellent "turn-on" fluorescence probe in the detection Hg2+. Moreover, the interference of Al3+, Ba2+, Mn2+, Ca2+, Fe3+, Cu2+, Ag+, Cd2+, Co2+, Ni2+, Mg2+, Pb2+, Zn2+, and Cr3+ ions was found to be negligible under optimized solvent conditions. Cysteine and EDTA were also found to form TPPE-based fluorescent switches with the Hg2+ ions. The practical use of the TPPE sensor was also demonstrated by using a specific test kit. Characterization using FT-IR, NMR titration, UV titration, EDS, and HR-MS techniques showed that Hg2+ will form a 1:1 complex with TPPE. Also, the observation of a Tyndall effect, in addition to UV absorption and fluorescence spectra, did clearly demonstrate the presence of an AIE. More noteworthy, TPPE and Hg2+ were found to form a metal-organic gel (MOG) in the DMF solution. The SEM, TEM, ICP, and Zeta potential analyses confirmed that the fluorescent MOG could further adsorb an excess of Hg2+ ions. The BET analyses revealed that the MOG showed a type IV-H3 hysteresis loop according to the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry classification. The results of the XRD analysis and of the spectroscopic titrations show that a π-π stacking may be the auxiliary driving force for the gel formation, after that a coordination has taken place. These results indicate that further research on structurally simple metal ion fluorescent probes, which are based on the AIE, is promising for the achievement of a simultaneous fluorescent detection and adsorption of heavy metal pollutants.

Abstract
Mercury ion (Hg2+) is a toxic heavy metal ion and Hg2+ is convertible to methylmercury (MeHg) by many aquatic microorganisms, leading to bioaccumulation and biomagnification in aquatic organisms, which can interfere with brain development and function in humans. This study employs a newly developed AIEgen (Aggregation-induced emission fluorogen) to quantify and visualise the process of MeHg bioaccumulation in vivo on the species of water flea Daphnia carinata. Two approaches to MeHg absorption were taken, either by direct incubation in a MeHg solution or by indirect consumption of algae contaminated with MeHg. We analysed the relationship between the ratio of photoluminescence (PL) intensities (I585/I480) and MeHg concentration (CMeHg) and generated a master curve for determining MeHg concentration based on the measurement of PL intensities. Fluorescent image analysis showed the occurrence of MeHg in D. carinata to be mainly in the compound eyes, optic nerve and carapace. This study indicates that MeHg absorption can be quantified and visualised in the body of zooplankton, and the MeHg transfer to zooplankton is more likely through direct exposure than via indirect food intake. The accumulation of MeHg in the eye and the nervous system could be the cause of the high mortality of D. carinata exposed to MeHg in water.

Abstract
To develop efficient tools for monitoring toxicant Hg2+ in aqueous solution attracts great attention because the abnormal distribution of Hg2+ in environment poses great threat to human health. We here report the preparation of a novel quinoline-rhodamine hybrid fluorescent probe P7RHg for ratiometricly sensing of Hg2+ in water, with a spirolactam-thiosemicarbazide reaction group. Upon treatment by Hg2+, the ratio of fluorescence intensity (F600/F460) exhibits nearly 90-fold enhancement, presenting two well-resolved emission peaks (140 nm). Meanwhile, the specific Hg2+-induced desulfurization provides probe P7RHg an excellent selectivity to Hg2+, with a detection limit of 8.6 nM. Moreover, the low cytotoxicity allows P7RHg to be employed for tracing Hg2+ in living cells by confocal fluorescence imaging.

Abstract
Aggregation-induced emission (AIE) represents a powerful tool in nanoscience as a result of enhanced luminescence in the condensed state. Although AIEgenic materials have been utilized in a wide range of applications, well-defined self-assembled nanoparticles with tailorable and uniform dimensions and morphology remain challenging to access. Herein, we use the seeded growth, living crystallization-driven self-assembly (CDSA) method to prepare size-tunable and uniform AIE-active 2D nanoplatelets from amphiphilic block copolymer (BCP) precursors with a crystallizable core-forming block and a corona-forming block to which tetraphenylethene (TPE) groups were covalently grafted as AIE-active pendants. The nanoplatelets were formed as a result of a solvophobicity-induced 1D to 2D morphology preference change, which accompanied the seeded growth of a BCP with a quaternized corona-forming block bearing the TPE luminogen. The 2D nanoplatelets exhibited a solvent-responsive fluorescent emission, and examples with coronas containing homogeneously distributed AIE-active TPE groups and Hg(II)-capturing thymine units exhibited excellent performance as proof-of-concept "turn-on" sensors for Hg(II) detection with a rapid response, high selectivity, and a low detection limit (5-125 × 10-9 M, i.e., 1-25 ppb). The fluorescence intensity was found to be nonlinear with respect to analyte concentration and to increase with the area of the nanoplatelet. This behavior is consistent with a cooperative mechanism based on changes in the steric compression of the corona chains, which gives rise to a restriction of the intramolecular motion (RIM) effect.

Abstract
Curcuminoids have been extensively investigated as metal ion probes, but the intrinsic aggregation-caused-quenching (ACQ) characteristic of curcumin would hinder their applications in aqueous solution. Fortunately, tetraphenylethylene (TPE) could endow the compounds with aggregation-induced emission (AIE)/aggregation-induced enhanced emission (AIEE) characteristics to eliminate the ACQ effect. According to this strategy, a series of TPE-modified curcumin derivatives L1–4 were prepared and studied for their AIEE properties. Among the four TPE-curcumin analogues, only L1 particles have been successfully used as an on-off fluorescence probe for detecting Cu2+ in aqueous solution. The fluorescence titration experiment determined its detection limit of 1.49 × 10−7 mol L−1, and the binding ratio between L1 and Cu2+ was estimated as 2 : 1, which was in agreement with the results of high resolution mass spectrum and Job's plot. In addition, the binding constant was evaluated as 6.77 × 102 M−1 using a Benesi–Hildebrand plot. Finally, the obtained L1-based indicator paper showed significant fluorescence response to Cu2+ aqueous solution. This TPE-modified strategy improves the detection capability of curcumin probe in aqueous solution and provides a feasible way to obtain other probes with ACQ characteristics. A curcumin-based AIEE-active L1 was synthesized and used to prepare an on-off fluorescent probe for Cu2+ detection in aqueous solution.![]()

Abstract
New quinoline based fluorescent sensors 4 and 5 were rationally synthesized that exhibited excellent aggregation induced emission (AIE) in an aqueous medium. High fluorescence emission of sensors was accompanied by a noticeable redshift in their absorption and emission spectra that corresponds to the formation of J-aggregates. An AIE feature of sensors 4 and 5 was used for selective detection of Fe3+ and 4-NP in an aqueous medium that is attributed to the involvement of intermolecular charge transfer (ICT). The interaction mechanism of sensors with Fe3+ and 4-NP was investigated through 1H NMR titration, Jobs plots, dynamic light scattering (DLS), and DFT analysis. The fluorescence quenching response of sensors 4 and 5 displayed distinguished linear behavior with the concentrations of Fe3+ and limits of detection (LOD) were calculated to be 15 and 10 nM, respectively. Further, LOD of sensors 4 and 5 for 4-NP (7.3 and 4.1 nM, respectively) was very low compared to previously reported sensors. Moreover, sensors' coated test strips were fabricated for solid-supported detection of Fe3+ and 4-NP. Sensors were successfully applied for the detection and quantification of Fe3+ and 4-NP in real water samples. Additionally, sensors were used for the determination of trace amounts of Fe3+ in the human serum sample.

Abstract
Spatial and temporal monitoring of bioactive targets such as calcium ions is vitally significant for their essential roles in physiological and biochemical functions. Herein, we proposed an esterase-activated precipitating strategy to achieve highly specific identification and long-term bioimaging of calcium ions via lighting up the calcium ions by precipitation using a water-soluble aggregation-induced phosphorescence (AIP) probe. The designed probe CaP2 has an AIP behavior and can be efficiently aggregated by calcium ions through the coupling coordination of carboxylic acid and cyanide groups, which enables it to light up Ca2+ by precipitating-triggered phosphorescence. Four hydrophilic groups of tetraethylene glycol were introduced to endow the resulting probe CaP3 with extraordinary water solubility as well as excellent cellular penetration. Only when the probe CaP3 penetrates inside the live cells the existing esterase in cells can activate the probe to be transformed active CaP2 probe selectively binding with calcium ion in the surroundings. The probe was used to further evaluate the imaging of intracellular calcium ions in model organisms. The excellent imaging performance of CaP3 in Arabidopsis thaliana seedling roots demonstrates that CaP3 has the excellent capability of monitoring calcium ions in live-cell imaging, and furthermore CaP3 exhibits much better photostability and thereby greater potential in long-term imaging. This work established a general esterase-activated precipitating strategy to achieve specific detection and bioimaging in situ triggered by esterase in live cells, and established a water-soluble aggregation-induced phosphorescence probe with high selectivity to achieve specific sensing and long-term imaging of calcium ions in live cells.

Abstract
A novel valine-based isocyanonaphthalene (NpI) was designed and synthesized by using an easy method and enabled the selective fluorescence detection of Hg2+. The chemodosimeter can display an immediate turn-on fluorescence response (500-fold) towards target metal ions upon the Hg2+-mediated conversion of isocyano to amino within NpI. Based on this specific reaction, the fluorescence-enhancement probe revealed a high sensitivity toward Hg2+ over other common metal ions and exhibited excellent aqueous solubility, good antijamming capability, high sensitivity (detection limit: 14.2 nM), and real-time detection. The response mechanism of NpI was supported by NMR spectroscopy, MS analysis and DFT theoretical calculation using various techniques. Moreover, a dipeptidomimetic NpI probe was successfully applied to visualize intracellular Hg2+ in living cells and monitor Hg2+ in real water samples with good recoveries and small relative standard deviations.

Abstract
Trace mercury ion (Hg2+) detection is important for environmental monitoring and water safety. In this work, we study the electrochemical strategy to detect trace Hg2+ based on the preconcentration of temperature-controlled N-octylpyridinium tetrafluoroborate ([OPy][BF4]) dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction. The [OPy][BF4] selectively extracted Hg2+ from aqueous solution by the adsorption of unsaturated N in [OPy][BF4], which increased the concentration of Hg2+ and decreased that of other interference ions. It was noted that the adsorption of [OPy][BF4] to Hg2+ was weakened by aqueous solution. Hence, after extraction, precipitated [OPy][BF4] was diluted by a buffer solution comprising a mixture of water and acetonitrile to release Hg2+ and the single was detected by electrochemistry. Water is proposed to release Hg2+ adsorbed by [OPy][BF4], and the acetonitrile serves as a co-solvent in buffer solution. Sensitivity and anti-inference ability of sensors were improved using the proposed method and Hg2+ releasing procedure. The detection limit (S/N = 3) of the sensor is 0.0315 μg/L with a linear range from 0.1 to 1 μg/L. And the sensor exhibits good recovery with an range from 106 % to 118%, which has great potential for trace Hg2+ determination.

Abstract
Hydrazine and mercury (Hg) poisoning represented a serious hazard to human health. So, developing method to detect and recognize them is highly desirable. Here, we prepared a multifunctional colorimetric and fluorescent probe (PI-Rh) consisting of a phenanthroimidazole (PI) dye conjugated with a Rhodamine (Rh) group for the effective recognition of hydrazine and Hg2+, induvidually and collectively, with different colorimetric and fluorescence outputs. Probe PI-Rh displays low detection limits measured to be 0.0632 μM (~2 ppb) and 0.0101 μM (~2 ppb) respectively for hydrazine and Hg2+ with high selectivity and excellent sensitivity. Moreover, the experimental results indicated that the superiority of this probe lied in its wide applications, for example, successful response in real water, and soil analysis. Interestingly, an visual, rapid, and real-time detection of gaseous hydrazine can be realized with 0.2793 μM detection limit using the facile PI-Rh-impregnated test paper.

Abstract
Excitation energy transfer (EET) as a fundamental photophysical process is well-explored for developing functional materials with tunable photophysical properties. Compared to traditional fluorophores, aggregation-induced emission luminogens (AIEgens) exhibit unique advantages for building EET systems, especially serving as energy donors, due to their outstanding photophysical properties such as bright fluorescence in aggregation state, broad absorption and emission spectra, large Stokes shift, and high photobleaching resistance. In addition, the photophysical properties of AIEgens can be modulated by energy transfer for improved luminescence performance. Therefore, a variety of EET systems based on AIEgens have been constructed and their applications in different areas have been explored. In this review, we summarize recent progress in the design strategy of AIE-based energy transfer systems for light-harvesting, fluorescent probes and theranostic systems, with an emphasis on design strategies to achieve desirable properties. The limitations, challenges and future opportunities of AIE-EET systems are briefly outlined. Design strategies and applications (light-harvesting, fluorescent probe and theranostics) of AIEgen-based excitation energy systems are discussed in this review.
