Abstract
Traditional fluorophores often face aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ), limiting their efficacy in high-concentration applications. We demonstrate that a combined effect of anion and mechanical bond can significantly increase fluorescence intensity, up to 14-fold, and a quantum yield of 97.0%. A large number of crystal analyses reveal that this enhancement is primarily driven by nonclassical hydrogen bonds, which stabilize the structure and restrict molecular motion. The versatility of this synergistic effect opens up new avenues for applications, including circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) facilitated by chiral anions and the development of a fluorescence switchable rotaxane shuttle-based stimuli-responsive material.

From Molecule to Aggregate: Designing AIE Nanocrystals for Low-Power Backward Third-Harmonic Generation Angiography. ADVANCED MATERIALS (DEERFIELD BEACH, FLA.) 2025; 37:e2414419. [PMID: 40165774 PMCID: PMC12087731 DOI: 10.1002/adma.202414419] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/24/2024] [Revised: 03/17/2025] [Indexed: 04/02/2025]
Abstract
Organic materials featuring third harmonic generation (THG) hold great promise for deep-tissue bioimaging due to their good biocompatibility and second near-infrared excitation. However, minimizing photodamage from the incident light necessitates significant improvements in the third-order nonlinear susceptibility. Herein, an organic luminogen called OTBP is developed as a backward THG (BTHG) contrast agent for second near-infrared (NIR-II) angiography. OTBP's intense absorption at 433 nm resonantly enhances its BTHG efficiency when excited by a 1300 nm femtosecond laser. In the aggregate state, the robust intermolecular interactions among OTBP molecules realize excellent crystallinity and the facile preparation of nanocrystals (NCs) with a high refractive index of 1.78. By leveraging Mie scattering theory, the best size of OTBP NCs for BTHG collection is attained. These integrated properties result in a high BTHG efficiency of OTBP NCs. Encapsulating the NCs with F-127 enables ultralow-power but high-contrast 3D vasculature imaging with negligible photodamage and background interference. Further elevating the laser power to 60 mW enables the visualization of microvessels at 500 µm with a high SNR of 143. This study offers insights into material design strategies toward efficient organic BTHG contrast agents and paves the way for the materials-oriented non-linear optics.

Abstract
Luminescence technology is a powerful analytical tool for biomedical research as well as for marker detection. Luminescent materials with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) properties have attracted extensive research interest, and their unique luminescence characteristics, biocompatibility, and sensitivity make them useful for the development of fluorescence-turn-on biosensors with superior sensitivity. While numerous reviews have focused on the design of AIEgens, comprehensive summaries on the strategies for biosensor preparation and application fields remain limited. In this review, we provide a concise introduction to the discovery and mechanism of the AIE phenomenon and summarize the working principles of classic AIE molecules. We discuss luminescence tuning strategies and functionalization methods for AIEgens, along with the design and preparation of AIE-based biosensors. Typical applications of AIE in biosensing and imaging are outlined, and we analyze the current limitations and future research directions of AIE technology in these fields. We hope this review will serve as a valuable reference for researchers in this rapidly developing field. The insights provided may facilitate the rational design of next-generation biosensors based on AIE technology, exhibiting promising avenues of biomedical applications and vast potential for growth.

Abstract
Phosphonate compounds have been proposed as atypical chromophores, but their luminescence properties, especially in combination with flexible aliphatic chains, remain underexplored. In this study, we have synthesized a series of novel siloxane-containing phosphonate esters as organofluorophores through a catalyst-free, one-pot Kabachnik-Fields (K-F) reaction. This reaction involved acetone, cyclohexanone, or cyclopentanone, with siloxanes containing aliphatic amines and phosphonate diesters as reactants. The resulting compounds exhibit blue fluorescence. Fluorescence tests confirmed that all synthesized materials display aggregation-induced emission (AIE) phenomena, with some also exhibiting upconversion. Notably, the luminescence intensity can be modulated by altering the steric hindrance near the phosphonate ester group. Mechanistic studies indicate that the strong blue photoluminescence observed in the aggregated state results from restricted intramolecular motion (RIM) and spatial electronic delocalization. These findings demonstrate that even simple phosphonates, when combined with flexible aliphatic chains, can exhibit significant AIE luminescence properties.

Abstract
Lung cancer is one of the most common malignancies with low prevention efficiency and high mortality, so prevention and early detection are very important. In this work, we propose a magnetic metal-organic skeleton nanomaterial bound to biological nucleic acid chains in a spatially confined magnetic single-drop microextraction (SDME) system to enhance the aggregation-induced emission (AIE) effect for fluorescence detection of miRNA-21 associated with lung cancer. DNA/MOF network structure was formed, and loaded with an AIE material, 4',4''',4''''',4'''''''-(ethene-1,1,2,2-tetrayl) tetrakis-([1,1-biphenyl]-3-carboxylic acid) (H4ETTC), by DNA amplification reaction. From a serum sample, the structure was then spontaneously collected, forming a single drop at the end of a magnetic rod in less than 10 s by utilizing a magnetic SDME process. In this self-generated single drop, the structure was aggregated and the fluorescence signal of H4ETTC was enhanced. Direct detection by fluorescence spectrophotometry was enabled. The limit of detection of miRNA-21 was 0.194 fM, and the linear range of miRNA-21 was 1 fM to 100 nM, respectively. The method was applied to the fluorescence detection of miRNA in human serum samples. The relative recoveries were 98.4 %-104.5 %.

Abstract
Creating tin-alloyed silicon nanocrystals with tailored bandgap values is a significant challenge, primarily because a substantial concentration of tin is essential to observe useful changes in the electronic structure. However, high concentration of Sn leads to instability of the silicon-tin nanocrystals. This work introduces a completely new approach to doping and the modification of the electronic structure of nanoparticles by incorporating few-atom clusters in nanocrystals, deviating from isolated atom doping or attempting alloying. This approach is exemplified via a combined theoretical and experimental study on tin (Sn) 'cluster-doping' of silicon (Si) nanocrystals, motivated by the opportunities offered by the Si-Sn system with tailored band energy. First-principles modelling predicts two noteworthy outcomes: a considerably smaller bandgap of these nanocrystals even with a modest concentration of tin compared to an equivalent-sized pure silicon nanocrystal and an unexpected decrease in the bandgap of nanocrystals as the diameter of nanocrystals increases, contrary to the typical quantum confined behaviour. Experimental verification using atmospheric pressure microplasma synthesis confirms the stability of these nanocrystals under ambient conditions. The plasma-synthesised nanocrystals exhibited the predicted atypical size-dependent behaviour of the bandgap, which ranged from 1.6 eV for 1.4 nm mean diameter particles to 2.4 eV for 2.2 nm mean diameter particles.

Abstract
Aggregation-induced emission (AIE) has been widely used in research on electrochemiluminescence (ECL) due to its excellent luminescence intensity. In this work, copper superparticles (Cu SPs) were used to construct ECL biosensor to detect the microRNA-103a (miRNA-103a) in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) tumor tissues. Firstly, GSH-capped copper clusters were used as precursors to prepare Cu SPs by the AIE effect. Compared with clusters, Cu SPs possessed higher luminescence performance and energy stability, making them an ideal choice for ECL nanoprobe. The film of PVDF-HFP/CeVO4 NPs was constructed and modified with CPBA and GSH as the sensing interface (PCCG). The PCCG film displayed good conductivity and hydrophilicity, and desirable mechanical stability. Moreover, the PCCG film can induce high carrier mobility rates and dissociate large amounts of the co-reactant K2S2O8 to enhance the ECL intensity of Cu SPs. As a result, the prepared ECL sensor with the catalyzed hairpin assembly (CHA) strategy was employed to quantify miRNA-103a in the range of 100 fM to 100 nM. The biosensor provided a novel analytical approach for the clinical diagnosis of TNBC.

Abstract
The development of aggregation-induced emission (AIE)-exhibiting compounds heavily relies on our evolving comprehension of their behavior at interfaces, an understanding that still remains notably limited. In this study, we explored the preparation of two-dimensional (2D) sensing films from 2,3-diphenylquinoxaline-based diazapolyoxa- and polyazamacrocycles displaying AIE via the Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) technique. This systematic investigation highlights the key role of the heteroatom-containing tether of 2,3-diphenylquinoxalines in the successful fabrication of Langmuir layers at the air-water interface and the transfer of AIE-emitting supramolecular aggregates onto solid supports. Using both diazapolyoxa- and polyazamacrocycles, we prepared AIE-exhibiting monolayer films containing emissive supramolecular aggregates on silica, mica, and quartz glass and characterized them using ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopies, atomic force microscopy (AFM) imaging, and fluorescence microscopy. We also obtained multilayer AIE-emitting films through the LB technique, albeit with increased complexity. Remarkably, by employing the smallest macrocycle N2C3Q, we successfully prepared LB films suitable for the visual detection of acidic vapors. This sensing material, which contains a much lesser amount of organic dye compared with traditional drop-cast films, can be regenerated and utilized for real-life sample analysis, such as monitoring the presence of ammonia in the air and the freshness of meat.

Abstract
Purpose This research was to innovate a nanozyme-based therapeutic strategy that combines aggregation-induced emission (AIE) photosensitizers with copper nanozymes. This approach is designed to address the hypoxic conditions often found in bacterial infections and aims to boost the effectiveness of photodynamic therapy (PDT) by ensuring sufficient oxygen supply for reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. Methods Our approach involved the synthesis of dihydroxyl triphenyl vinyl pyridine (DHTPY)-Cu@zoledronic acid (ZOL) nanozyme particles. We initially synthesized DHTPY and then combined it with copper nanozymes to form the DHTPY-Cu@ZOL composite. The nanozyme's size, morphology, and chemical properties were characterized using various techniques, including dynamic light scattering, transmission electron microscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. We conducted a series of in vitro and in vivo tests to evaluate the photodynamic, antibacterial, and wound-healing properties of the DHTPY-Cu@ZOL nanozymes, including their oxygen-generation capacity, ROS production, and antibacterial efficacy against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Results The DHTPY-Cu@ZOL exhibited proficient H2O2 scavenging and oxygen generation, crucial for enhancing PDT in oxygen-deprived infection environments. Our in vitro analysis revealed a notable antibacterial effect against MRSA, suggesting the nanozymes' potential to disrupt bacterial cell membranes. Further, in vivo studies using a diabetic rat model with MRSA-infected wounds showed that DHTPY-Cu@ZOL markedly improved wound healing and reduced bacterial presence, underscoring its efficacy as a non-antibiotic approach for chronic infections. Conclusion Our study suggests that DHTPY-Cu@ZOL is a highly promising approach for combating antibiotic-resistant microbial pathogens and biofilms. The biocompatibility and stability of these nanozyme particles, coupled with their improved PDT efficacy position them as a promising candidate for clinical applications.

[PMID: 38448434 PMCID: PMC10917805 DOI: 10.1038/s41467-024-46287-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/06/2023] [Accepted: 02/21/2024] [Indexed: 03/08/2024] Open
Abstract
Developing X-ray scintillators that are water-dispersible, compatible with polymeric matrices, and processable to flexible substrates is an important challenge. Herein, Tb3+-doped Na5Lu9F32 is introduced as an X-ray scintillating material with steady-state X-ray light yields of 15,800 photons MeV-1, which is generated as nanocrystals on halloysite nanotubes. The obtained product exhibits good water-dispersibility and highly sensitive luminescence to X-rays. It is deposited onto a polyurethane foam to afford a composite foam material with dose-dependent radioluminescence. Moreover, the product is dispersed into polymer matrixes in aqueous solution to prepare rigid or flexible scintillator screen for X-ray imaging. As a third example, it is incorporated multilayer hydrogels for information camouflage and multilevel encryption. Encrypted information can be recognized only by X-ray irradiation, while the false information is read out under UV light. Altogether, we demonstrate that the water-dispersible scintillators are highly promising for aqueous processing of radioluminescent, X-ray imaging, and information encrypting materials.

Abstract
In this work, a gold nanocluster [Au14(2-SAdm)9(Dppe)2]+ was synthesized and structurally determined by X-ray crystallography. The crystals of this cluster exhibit a 50-fold enhancement in quantum yield (5.05% for crystals) compared with its solution. Crystallographic analysis reveals that the weak intermolecular interactions (C-H⋯π, π⋯π) can inhibit the molecular vibration and thus generate the crystallization-induced emission enhancement phenomenon.

Abstract
A dual donor-acceptor photosensitizer TCN-2 prepared based on single donor-acceptor could fulfil lipid droplets targeting to trigger apoptosis and tumor growth arrest. Meanwhile, all of experiments both in phosphate buffer solution and intracellular surroundings have demonstrated that TCN-2 catalyzed the production of type I as well as type II reactive oxygen species, forming a hybrid reactive oxygen species pattern, indicating that TCN-2 could be applied to initiate a series of biological responses triggered by oxidative stress within most high-viscosity solid tumors. In addition, TCN-2 also has the capability of fluorescence imaging, which could perfectly combine therapeutic imaging to achieve therapeutic effects while identifying cancerous lesions. Due to the structural design of double electron-absorbing groups, TCN-2 retained excellent lipophilicity while enhancing solubility in the biological environment. Terrific biocompatibility, minimal phototoxic damage to normal cells and tissues, and specific driving to prescriptive organelles to maximize therapeutic effects were used to enhance the therapeutic effect of photodynamic therapy to cease disease progression.

Abstract
Picric acid (PA) is highly water-soluble, the fact makes it stand out as the most hazardous environment pollutant. Therefore, accurate determination of PA is of great significance for human health and environmental protection. Herein, a novel indole-based fluorescent sensor (H1) with good water solubility and fluorescence stability was reported. H1 exhibited 'turn-off' fluorescence response for PA with fast reaction rate (<30 s), unique specificity and excellent selectivity and high sensitivity (limit of detection = 34 nM). Further, H1 was successfully applied to detect PA in real samples (tap water, Yangtze River, Xuanwu Lake, soil, food, fish and shrimp) with satisfactory recoveries at three spiking levels ranging from 98.0 to 112.0 %. In addition, H1 displayed high biocompatibility in mung beans and fresh blood. Moreover, aiming to attain portable analysis, H1 was composited with biomass cellulose paper (H1-FP) and integrated with smartphone for construction as a solid-state fluorescence platform to achieve fast and visual detection of PA in suit with significant stability, high sensitively and selectivity. The establishment of this sensing approach is expected to offer new insight into rapid, selective, and sensitive detection of major pollutants for food and environmental safety.

High AIECL performance of tetraphenylethene derivatives originated from the linear increasing of benzene ring and solvent regulation for sensitive measurement of melatonin. Biosens Bioelectron 2023; 237:115544. [PMID: 37536226 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2023.115544] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/04/2023] [Revised: 07/05/2023] [Accepted: 07/20/2023] [Indexed: 08/05/2023]
Abstract
The efficiency of aggregation-induced electrochemiluminescence (AIECL) in tetraphenylethene (TPE) derivatives were significantly enhanced by combining the regulation of molecular structure and solvent. Firstly, the linear increase of the benzene ring resulted in enhanced molecular aggregation and promoted the electrochemical reaction of the anode, due to increased molecular conjugation and higher lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) and highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO). The ECL efficiency of 4,4,4,4-(Ethene-1,1,2,2-tetrayl) tetrakis (([1,1,4,1-terphenyl]-4-carbaldehyde)) (T3) nanoparticles (NPs) with more benzene rings were 5558 times that of 4,4,4,4-(ethene-1,1,2,2-tetrayl) tetrabenzaldehyde (T1) NPs, and its relative ECL efficiency of T3 NPs reached 55.58% compared to the [Ru (bpy)3]2+/tripropylamine (TPrA) system. Furthermore, solvents with different polarities played a crucial role in modulating the degree of molecular aggregation, which also effectively facilitated the AIE process and reduced the aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) effect caused by excessively dense aggregation. This aspect had often been overlooked in previous AIECL studies. T3 NPs demonstrated optimal ECL performance at fw = 70% (fw was the H2O content in tetrahydrofuran (THF)/H2O), and its ECL efficiency was 232 times greater than fw = 100% and 1853 times greater than fw = 0%. Additionally, it was found that melatonin (MT), one of the hormones widely used to treat insomnia, exhibited antioxidant and free radical scavenging properties, which exerted a significant quenching effect on the ECL of the T3 NPs/TPrA system. Consequently, a sensitive sensing platform was developed for MT with a low detection limit of 8.78 × 10-10 mol L-1, which promoted the application of AIECL in efficient ultra-sensitive biosensing.

Abstract
Observations of the micro world, especially the structures of organelles, have been attractive topics since the 17th century. As a powerful detection tool, the fluorescence technique has played a significant role in bioimaging to provide more details and enhance the signal-to-noise ratio compared to that of traditional optical microscopes. The boom of aggregate-induced emission luminogens (AIEgens) in the last two decades has revolutionized the design strategy of luminescent materials for biological applications. This Review summarizes the advantages and recent progress of AIEgens in imaging and tracking. Different imaging strategies of AIEgens including turn-on imaging, stimuli-response sensing, and long-term tracking are presented. NIR AIEgens used for in-depth bioimaging via different methods are also discussed. Finally, we propose several potential development directions for AIEgens in bioimaging.

Synthesis and Characterization of Tetraphenylethene AIEgen-Based Push-Pull Chromophores for Photothermal Applications: Could the Cycloaddition-Retroelectrocyclization Click Reaction Make Any Molecule Photothermally Active? Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24108715. [PMID: 37240061 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24108715] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/13/2023] [Revised: 05/04/2023] [Accepted: 05/10/2023] [Indexed: 05/28/2023] Open
Abstract
Three new tetraphenylethene (TPE) push-pull chromophores exhibiting strong intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) are described. They were obtained via [2 + 2] cycloaddition-retroelectrocyclization (CA-RE) click reactions on an electron-rich alkyne-tetrafunctionalized TPE (TPE-alkyne) using both 1,1,2,2-tetracyanoethene (TCNE), 7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ) and 2,3,5,6-tetrafluoro-7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane (F4-TCNQ) as electron-deficient alkenes. Only the starting TPE-alkyne displayed significant AIE behavior, whereas for TPE-TCNE, a faint effect was observed, and for TPE-TCNQ and TPE-F4-TCNQ, no fluorescence was observed in any conditions. The main ICT bands that dominate the UV-Visible absorption spectra underwent a pronounced red-shift beyond the near-infrared (NIR) region for TPE-F4-TCNQ. Based on TD-DFT calculations, it was shown that the ICT character shown by the compounds exclusively originated from the clicked moieties independently of the nature of the central molecular platform. Photothermal (PT) studies conducted on both TPE-TCNQ and TPE-F4-TCNQ in the solid state revealed excellent properties, especially for TPE-F4-TCNQ. These results indicated that CA-RE reaction of TCNQ or F4-TCNQ with donor-substituted are promising candidates for PT applications.

Abstract
Fluorescent polymer particles have witnessed an increasing interest in recent years, owing to their fascinating physicochemical properties as well as wide-ranging applications. In this review, the state-of-the-art research progress of fluorescent polymer particles in the past five years is summarized. First, the synthesis protocols for fluorescent polymer particles, including emulsion polymerization, precipitation polymerization, dispersion polymerization, suspension polymerization, nanoprecipitation, self-assembly, and post-polymerization modification, are presented in detail. Then, the applications of the resulting beguiling particles in anticounterfeiting, chemical sensing, and biomedicine, are illustrated. Finally, the challenges and opportunities that exist in the field are pointed out. This review aims to offer important guidance and stimulate more research attention to this rapidly developing field.
