Abstract
In this research, we synthesized and constructed a novel gelator (namedQN) combining quinoline and naphthalene that self-assembled in N, N-dimethylformamide (DMF) to form a stable supramolecular gel (namedOQN). Under UV light, gelOQNexhibited extremely bright yellow fluorescence. The gelOQNshowed excellent sensing performance for both Fe3+and Cu2+, with a fluorescence 'turn-off' detection mechanism and the lowest detection limit of 7.58 × 10-8M and 1.51 × 10-8M, respectively. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra, x-ray powder diffraction (XRD), rheological measurements, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and fluorescence spectroscopy were used to characterize the gelOQN. TheOQNion-responsive membrane created is an excellent fluorescent writing material.

Abstract
Self-assembly provides access to non-covalently synthesized supramolecular materials with distinct properties from a single building block. However, dynamic switching between functional states still remains challenging, but holds enormous potential in material chemistry to design smart materials. Herein, we demonstrate a chemical fuel-mediated strategy to dynamically switch between two distinctly emissive aggregates, originating from the self-assembly of a naphthalimide-appended peptide building block. A molecularly dissolved building block shows very weak blue emission, whereas, in the assembled state (Agg-1), it shows cyan emission through π stacking-mediated excimer emission. The addition of a chemical fuel, ethyl-3-(3-(dimethylamino)propyl)carbodiimide (EDC), converts the terminal aspartic acid present in the building block to an intra-molecularly cyclized anhydride in situ forming a second aggregated state, Agg-2, by changing the molecular packing, thereby transforming the emission to strong blue. Interestingly, the anhydride gets hydrolyzed gradually to reform Agg-1 and the initial cyan emission is restored. The kinetic stability of the strong blue emissive aggregate, Agg-2, can be regulated by the added concentration of the chemical fuel. Moreover, we expand the scope of this system within an agarose gel matrix, which allows us to gain spatiotemporal control over the properties, thereby producing a self-erasable writing system where the chemical fuel acts as the ink.

Abstract
Acceptor-donor-acceptor (A-D-A) molecular rotors have drawn substantial attention for their applications in monitoring temperature variations within cellular microenvironments, biomimetic photocatalysis, and bioimaging. In this study, we have synthesized two novel rotor molecules, NBN1 and NBN2, by incorporating benzodithiophene (BDT) as the donor core and naphthalic anhydride/naphthalimide (NA/NI) moieties as acceptors using Pd-catalyzed Stille coupling reactions. These molecules exhibited distinct charge transfer (CT) behavior in both their absorption and emission spectra and displayed prominent emission solvatochromism. Notably, NBN1 exhibited better CT properties among the two molecules. Moreover, these A-D-A molecular rotors demonstrated remarkable sensitivities of their emission spectra toward solvent polarities and temperatures. Rotors NBN1 and NBN2 showed positive temperature coefficients with internal temperature sensitivities of 0.34% °C-1 and 0.13% °C-1 in chloroform, respectively, and thus hold significant promise for detecting temperature variations in cellular microenvironment. Furthermore, we have modeled these molecules with graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3 N4 ) to form composite systems and performed theoretical calculations to obtain valuable insights into their charge transfer behavior. Theoretical results suggested that these molecules have the potential to efficiently sensitize and modulate the band gap of g-C3 N4 and show potential for diverse photocatalytic applications.

Abstract
We have rationally designed a one-dimensional coordination polymer (1D CP), termed 1D-DGIST-18, that exhibits intrinsic structural flexibility. This 1D CP enables its expansion into a three-dimensional network through supramolecular interactions involving coordinated solvents and/or ligands. The strategic selection of solvents for solvent exchange, prior to drying, significantly influences the structures of 1D-DGIST-18 by removing certain coordinating solvents and modulating π-π stacking. Consequently, a hierarchical porosity emerges, ranging from micro- to meso- to macroporous structures, which is attributed to its inherent structural dynamics. Additionally, the formation of excimers endows 1D-DGIST-18, when immersed in acetone, with 'turn-on' fluorescence, as evidenced by fluorescence decay profiles. These structural transitions within 1D-DGIST-18 are further elucidated using single-crystal X-ray diffractometry. The insights from this study provide a foundation for the design of materials with structural dynamics and tunable properties.

Abstract
The VCD spectra of chiral 2,3-dihydro-1H-benzo[de]isoquinolin-1-one (8-substituted naphthalene-1-carboxamide, BIQ) were studied in KBr pellets. The X-ray diffractometry revealed that the Me, Ph, and pClPh BIQs crystalize in the monoclinic P21, while nBu, pMePh, and oMeOPh BIQs in the orthorhombic P212121 space group. Only the Me-BIQ crystal exhibits the presence of cyclic amide dimers, while the others contain chains of the amid group hydrogen bonds. For all BIQs, except pMePh, the most intense IR band in the 1750-1550 cm-1 region is located at ca. 1680 cm-1 and is accompanied by two weak ones at ca. 1618 and 1590 cm-1. For the pMePh derivative, four almost equally intense IR bands at 1662, 1639, 1614, and 1588 cm-1 are observed. This region of the IR spectra of BIQs, but pMePh, is well reproduced by calculations based on BIQ monomers. On the other hand, the complex IR pattern of pMePh is computationally reproduced when larger crystal fragments, like octamers, are considered. Registration of the VCD spectra enabled recognizing the complexity of IR contours at ca. 1680 cm-1 by the corresponding VCD motives. For (i) Me, Ph and pClPh (R)-enantiomers, two (+)(-) bands were distinguished and for (ii) nBu and pMePh ones, one VCD band with right-side asymmetry was found. For (iii) oMeOPh the VCD pattern cannot be unambiguously assigned. Thus, the VCD spectra in the ν(C=O) range diverse the studied compounds. Among the set of molecules, pMePh has exceptional crystal geometry. Therefore, its most intense ν(C=O) band position and shape can be connected with the geometry of the hydrogen bonds, interactions, and crystal packing. Interpretation of the VCD spectra is based on linear and packed BIQ octamers. This cluster model can reproduce the main features of the solid-state VCD of BIQs.

Abstract
Ligand 1, a rim-differentiated pillar[5]arene macrocycle modified with five naphthalimide groups through click chemistry, serves as an effective ratiometric fluorescent chemosensor for Cu2+. In contrast to the monomeric naphthalimide control compound 2, which shows only monomer emission, ligand 1 demonstrates dual emission characteristics encompassing both the monomer and excimer of the naphthalimide moieties. The binding properties of ligand 1 toward 15 different metal ions were systematically investigated in CH2Cl2/CH3CN (v/v, 1 : 1) by UV-vis and fluorescence spectroscopy. Remarkably, ligand 1 exhibits exceptional selectivity for Cu2+ ions. Upon complexation with Cu2+, the excimer emission of ligand 1 diminishes, concomitant with an enhancement of its monomer emission. The binding ratio for 1·Cu2+ was determined to be 1 : 1, with an association constant of (3.39 ± 0.40) × 105 M-1 calculated using a nonlinear least-squares curve-fitting method. Furthermore, the limit of detection (LOD) was found to be 185 ± 7 nM. Our results from 1H NMR titration, high-resolution mass spectrometry analysis and density functional theory calculations of 1·Cu2+ suggest synergistic coordination between Cu2+ and the triazole groups on ligand 1.

Abstract
The development of 1,8-naphthalimide derivatives as cell probes, DNA targeting agents, and anti-tumor drugs is one of the research hotspots in the field of medicine. Naphthalimide compounds are a kind of DNA embedder, which can change the topological structure of DNA by embedding in the middle of DNA base pairs, and then affect the recognition and action of topoisomerase on DNA. Aminofide and mitonafide are the first 2 drugs to undergo clinical trials. They have good DNA insertion ability, can embed DNA double-stranded structure, and induce topoisomerase II to cut part of pBR322DNA, but not yet entered the market due to their toxicity. In this paper, the design and structure-activity relationship of mononaphthalimide and bisaphthalimide compounds were studied, and the relationship between the structure of naphthalimide and anti-tumor activity was analyzed and discussed. It was found that a variety of structural modifications were significant in improving anti-tumor activity and reducing toxicity.

Abstract
Supramolecular polymers of π-conjugated systems are an important class of materials with fascinating functions and properties originated from the dynamic behavior and highly ordered molecular organizations. Here, a donor-π-acceptor based functionalized luminescent napthalene monoimide (NMI) undergoes J-type self-assembly by non-covalent interactions via a non-cooperative, isodesmic mechanism to form supramolecular 1D nanowire. The fundamental insights into the thermodynamics regulating the supramolecular polymerization were derived through the fitting of the isodesmic model to variable temperature UV/Vis data in linear (dodecane) and nonliner hydrocarbon (decalin) based solvents. This shows a significant role of entropy-enthalpy compensation in solvent geometry-regulated formation and stabilization of supramolecular polymer. Furthermore, we have quantitively estimated the influence of solvent geometry and found that NMI forms stronger self-assembly and spontaneous gel in linear hydrocarbon based solvent compared to nonliner one and thereby substantially increases the degree of polymerization in linear hydrocarbon solvent (dodecane). This is accredited to the effective influence of the linear hydrocarbon solvent molecules in the polymerization process by favourable van der waals interactions with the peripheral alkyl chains of the NMI monomers in contrast to unfavourable interaction of nonliner hydrocarbon solvent due to geometry mismatch.

Abstract
peri-Annulation of naphthalane, an important tool for realization of wide range of functional materials, is presently accomplished with limited few functional groups like imide, amide and diamine-derivative (perimidine). To increase the diversity, we have incorporated α-keto aldonitrone as a new functional group, and herein report about five peri-naphthoisatogens (PNTIs) dyes. The synthesis were accomplished using an unusual reaction of aromatic nitro group, which is nucleophilic attack of a C-nucleophile (enol) to the N-atom of nitro group. In five different 5-alkylamino-8-nitro-1-acetylnaphthalenes, intramolecular acid-catalyzed nucleophilic attack of enol moiety to the N-atom of nitro group produced α-keto aldonitrone via addition-elimination mechanism. The PNTIs showed characteristics of 1,3-dipole and reacted with ethyl acrylate to produce isoxazolidine ring, which subsequently converted into aza phenalenone derivative via ring cleavage. Both the PNTI and the corresponding derivative strongly absorb in the visible region, displaying absorption maximum at 551 and 561 nm (in CHCl3 ) respectively. Compared to the popular analogous dye naphthalene monoimides, PNTIs showed bathochromic shift of absorption maximum by more than 100 nm. The emission maximum for the PNTI and its derivative in chloroform were observed at 594 and 635 nm respectively.

Abstract
Fibrillation of amyloid beta (Aβ) is the key event in the amyloid neurotoxicity process that induces a chain of toxic events including oxidative stress, caspase activation, poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase cleavage, and mitochondrial dysfunction resulting in neuronal loss and memory decline manifesting as clinical dementia in humans. Herein, we report the development of a novel, biologically active supramolecular probe, INHQ, and achieve functional nanoarchitectures via a self-assembly process such that ultralong fibers are achieved spontaneously. With specifically decorated functional groups on INHQ such as imidazole, hydroxyquinoline, hydrophobic chain, and hydroxyquinoline molecules, these ultralong fibers coassembled efficiently with toxic Aβ oligomers and mitigated the amyloid-induced neurotoxicity by blocking the aforementioned biochemical events leading to neuronal damage in mice. These functional ultralong "Artificial Fibers" morphologically resemble the amyloid fibers and provide a higher surface area of interaction that improves its clearance ability against the Aβ aggregates. The efficacy of this novel INHQ molecule was ascertained by its high ability to interact with Aβ. Moreover, this injectable, ultralong INHQ functional "artificial fiber" translocates through the blood-brain barrier and successfully attenuates the amyloid-triggered neuronal damage and pyknosis in the cerebral cortex of wild-type mouse. Utilizing various spectroscopic techniques, morphology analysis, and in vitro, in silico, and in vivo studies, these ultralong INHQ fibers are proven to hold great promise for treating neurological disorders at all stages with a potential to replace the existing medications, reduce complications in the brain, and eradicate the amyloid-triggered neurotoxicity implicated in numerous disorders in human through a rare synergistic mechanism.

Abstract
A naphthalimide based chemosensor (NPG), containing 1,8-naphthalimide as a fluorophore unit and pentaethylene glycol as a binding unit, has been used for the detection of Pd2+ ions in 50% HEPES buffer-DMSO (pH 7.2) solution. The NPG showed aggregation induced emission enhancement (AIEE) properties in H2O-DMSO binary mixtures (0-90%) and the CIE plot of NPG in DMSO has x = 0.152, y = 0.102 coordinates corresponding to blue colour emission with 86% colour purity. Upon addition of Pd2+ ions, NPG showed a decrease in fluorescence intensity associated with a colour change from fluorescent blue to non-fluorescent colourless solution. The lowest limit of detection for Pd2+ ions was 75 nM. The mechanism of interaction of NPG with Pd2+ ions leads to complexation induced aggregation caused quenching (ACQ) supported by DLS, SEM and AFM studies. The NPG has been successfully utilized for (i) intracellular detection of Pd2+ ions (250 μM) in live MG-63 cells; (ii) detection of Pd2+ ions in pharmaceutical (99.74 ± 0.6%), urine (98.20 ± 2.96%) and blood serum (99.17 ± 1.84%) samples and (iii) detection of Pd2+ ions using silica coated TLC strips via a contact mode method. NPG can be used as a security ink for writing letters and alphabets for anticounterfeiting applications.

Abstract
Disulfide bridges common in proteins show excellent photostability achieved by ultrafast internal conversion and maintain the stability of the tertiary structure. When disulfide bonds exist in aromatic compounds, the rigid chemical structure may affect the cleavage and reforming dynamics of disulfide bonds. In this work, a model compound with a disulfide five-membered-ring structure, 4,5-dithiolo-N-(2,6-dimethylphenyl)-1,8-naphthalimide (DTDPNI), is selected to elaborate the effect of disulfide modification on the excited-state deactivation mechanism. Quantum chemical calculations show that the S-S stretching leads to a dramatic decrease in the energy gap between the S1 and S0 states, similar to the situation in 1,2-dithiane. Due to the efficient nonradiative process, the excited-state lifetime of DTDPNI resolved by ultrafast spectroscopy is determined to be ∼20 ps. It is found that the excellent photostability is achieved by ultrafast excited-state quenching induced by the S-S stretching, rather than the cleavage of the disulfide bond; even the disulfide bridge is in a very rigid aromatic molecular system.

Abstract
Supramolecular polymers of π-conjugated organic chromophores have emerged as promising candidates in organic electronics because of their dynamic and highly ordered molecular organization. Herein, we demonstrate the formation of luminescent, highly conducting supramolecular polymers of a functionalized naphthalimide π-chromophore-based organic semiconductor in a moderately polar organic solvent (tetrahydrofuran) by overcoming solute-solvent H-bonding via assistance from fluoride anions. The polymerization is exclusively guided by the synergistic effects of cascade H-bonding (F-⋯H-N- of primary amines, followed by -CO⋯H-N- of amides), π-π stacking and hydrophobic interactions. An increasing molar equivalent of anions leads to a morphology transition from 1D nanowires to 2D nanosheets via nanotubes and nanorings, but above a particular threshold of the same anion, depolymerization-mediated disruption of long-range order and formation of non-luminescent spherical particles was observed. Such significant impacts of anions in supramolecular polymerization-depolymerization were utilized in modulating the electronic properties of this naphthalimide-based organic semiconductor.

Abstract
Aggregation-induced emission (AIE)-based fluorescent organic nanoparticles (FONPs) with distinctive characteristics are emerging as superior sensors due to their facile fabrication, high signal-to-noise ratio, and good biocompatibility. The present article delineates the detection and analysis of the redox behavior of the protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) enzyme by exploitation of the AIE of novel naphthalimide (NI) derivatives having thiol (-SH) and disulfide (-S-S-) moieties. Self-aggregated spherical-shaped organic nanoparticles were prepared by synthesized NI-based amphiphiles (NISH, NISS, NINSS, and TNINSH) through J-type aggregation in DMSO-water (fw = 99 vol %). Naphthyl residue containing NI-derived amphiphiles (NINSS and TNINSH) exhibited AIE (blue and yellow) at 470 and 550 nm, respectively, in DMSO-water (fw = 99 vol %). NINSS and TNINSH FONPs were suitably utilized in sensing PDI through their redox nature of thiol-disulfide exchange. Fluorescence quenching of NINSS FONPs was observed due to reduction of disulfide to thiol by PDI, whereas emission intensity was progressively red-shifted and enhanced ("Dual-AIE") for TNINSH (containing ER-targeting N-tosylethylenediamine), owing to oxidation of thiol to disulfide by PDI. NINSS and TNINSH FONPs were found to be highly efficient in sensing PDI through the AIE-based "fluorescence off/on" mechanism having limits of detection of ∼12.6-17.7 and ∼11.7-16.5 ng/mL, respectively. In vitro cell imaging for NIH3T3 (noncancer) and B16F10 (melanoma) cells with NINSS and TNINSH FONPs displayed excellent diagnosis of eukaryotic cells upon interaction with indigenous PDI. Notably, detection of cancer cells was more sensitive over the noncancerous cells by these FONPs due to overexpression of PDI within cancer cells.

Abstract
This paper presents the photophysical and biological properties of eight 3-imino-1,8-naphthalimides. The optical properties of the compounds were investigated in the solvents that differed in their polarity (dichloromethane, acetonitrile, and methanol), including three methods of sample preparation using different pre-dissolving solvents such as dimethyl sulfoxide or chloroform. In the course of the research, it was found that there are strong interactions between the tested compounds and DMSO, which was visible as a change in the maximum emission band (λem) of the neat 3-imino-1,8-naphthalimides (λem = 470-480 nm) and between the compounds and DMSO (λem = 504-514 nm). The shift of the emission maximum that was associated with the presence of a small amount of DMSO in the sample was as much as 41 nm. In addition, the susceptibility of imines to hydrolysis in the methanol/water mixture with increasing water content and in the methanol/water mixture (v/v; 1:1) in the pH range from 1 to 12 was discussed. The studies showed that the compounds are hydrolysed in the CH3OH/H2O system in an acidic environment (pH in the range of 1 to 4). In addition, it was found that partial hydrolysis occurs in systems with an increased amount of water, and its degree may depend on the type of substituent on the imine bond. The compounds tended to quench the emission (ACQ) in the aggregated state and increase the emission related to the protonation of the imine bond. Moreover, it was found that the substituent in the imine bonds influenced a compound's individual photophysical properties. Biological tests, including cytotoxicity studies and cellular localisation, were also performed for all of the molecules. All of the tested compounds exhibited green fluorescence in the MCF-7 cells and showed co-localisation in the mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, and lysosome. The obtained photophysical and biological results indicate the promising potential use of the tested compounds as cellular dyes.

Abstract
A new gel factor (named N) has been successfully designed and synthesized, which contains the conventional fluorophore naphthalene with the acylhydrazone bond as the self-assembly site. It can be self-assembled into stable organogels (named ON) in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and water mixed medium (V : V = 4 : 1) with a critical gel temperature and concentration (55 °C and 10 mg mL-1). Interestingly, under 365 nm UV light, the ON exhibits bright yellow Aggregation Induced Emission (AIE). The supramolecular organogel ON shows a fluorescent "OFF" response to the metal ions Fe3+, and the state of the gel ON remains constant before and after detection. Notably, the minimum detection limits (LODs) of the gel ON for Fe3+ are as low as 1.30 × 10-7 M. The binding mechanism of supramolecular organogels (ON) to ions has been investigated through a series of characterizations. Meanwhile, the organogel sensor ON can also be used as an ion-responsive membrane for the detection of Fe3+ in the aqueous phase.

Abstract
We investigated the effects of sterically nonrestricted electron-accepting substituents of three isomeric indolocarbazole derivatives on their aggregation-induced emission enhancement, mechanochromic luminescence and thermally activated delayed fluorescence. The compounds are potentially efficient emitters for host-free organic light-emitting diodes. The films of indolocarbazole derivatives exhibit emissions with wavelengths of fluorescence intensity maxima from 483 to 500 nm and photoluminescence quantum yields from 31 to 58%. The ionization potentials of the solid samples, measured by photoelectron emission spectrometry, are in the narrow range of 5.78-5.99 eV. The electron affinities of the solid samples are in the range of 2.99-3.19 eV. The layers of the derivatives show diverse charge-transporting properties with maximum hole mobility reaching 10-4 cm2/Vs at high electric fields. An organic light-emitting diode with a light-emitting layer of neat compound shows a turn-on voltage of 4.1 V, a maximum brightness of 24,800 cd/m2, a maximum current efficiency of 12.5 cd/A and an external quantum efficiency of ca. 4.8%. When the compounds are used as hosts, green electroluminescent devices with an external quantum efficiency of ca. 11% are obtained. The linking topology of the isomeric derivatives of indolo[2,3-a]carbazole and indolo[3,2-b]carbazole and the electron-accepting anchors influences their properties differently, such as aggregation-induced emission enhancement, mechanochromic luminescence, thermally activated delayed fluorescence, charge-transporting, and electroluminescent properties. The derivative indolo[3,2-b]carbazole displays good light-emitting properties, while the derivatives of indolo[2,3-a]carbazole show good hosting properties, which make them useful for application in electroluminescent devices.

Abstract
A simple naphthalimide fluorophore NAP-H2O was designed and synthesized. Basic photophysical properties were investigated, especially found that the probe showed robust green fluorescence in water compared with that in various organic solvents, and the specific mechanism was conformed to be the aggregation induced emission (AIE) through dynamic light scattering (DLS) analysis, solid-state luminescence and fluorescence imaging. Accordingly, the capability of NAP-H2O for water sensing was examined, and good linear relationships between fluorescence intensities at the green emission band and the water content were obtained, enabling quantitative detection of water in organic solvents. The detection limits were calculated to be 0.004 % (v/v) in ACN, 0.117 % (v/v) in 1,4-dioxane, 0.028 % (v/v) in THF, 0.022 % (v/v) in DMF and 0.146 % (v/v) in DMSO, respectively. In addition, the probe presented fast response time within 5 s to water and good photostability. Furthermore, the probe was successfully applied for fast and naked-eye detection of water in organic solvents via test papers. This work provides a rapid, sensitive and naked-eye method for trace amount detection of water in organic solvents and has potential for practical applications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Platinum-drugs based chemotherapy in clinic increases the potency of tumor cells to produce M2 macrophages, thus leading to poor anti-metastatic activity and immunosuppression. Lysosome metabolism is critical for cancer cell migration and invasion, but how it promotes antitumor immunity in tumours and macrophages is poorly understood and the underlying mechanisms are elusive. The present study aimed to explore a synergistic strategy to dismantle the immunosuppressive microenvironment of tumours and metallodrugs discovery by using the herent metabolic plasticity. METHODS Naphplatin was prepared by coordinating an active alkaline moiety to cisplatin, which can regulate the lysosomal functions. Colorectal carcinoma cells were selected to perform the in vivo biological assays. Blood, tumour and spleen tissues were collected and analyzed by flow cytometry to further explore the relationship between anti-tumour activity and immune cells. Transformations of bone marrow derived macrophage (BMDM) and M2-BMDM to the M1 phenotype was confirmed after treatment with naphplatin. The key mechanisms of lysosome-mediated mucolipin-1(Mcoln1) and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) activation in M2 macrophage polarization have been unveiled. RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) was used to further explore the key mechanism underlying high-mobility group box 1(HMGB1)-mediated Cathepsin L(CTSL)-lysosome function blockade. RESULTS We demonstrated that naphplatin induces divergent lysosomal metabolic programs and reprograms macrophages in tumor cells to terminate the vicious tumour-associated macrophages (TAMs)-MDSCs-Treg triangle. Mechanistically, macrophages treated with naphplatin cause lysosome metabolic activation by triggering Ca2+ release via Mcoln1, which induces the activation of p38 and nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) and finally results in polarizing M2 macrophages. In contrast, HMGB1-mediated lysosome metabolic blockade in cancer cells is strongly linked to antitumor effects by promoting cytoplasmic translocation of HMGB1. CONCLUSIONS This study reveals the crucial strategies of macrophage-based metallodrugs discovery that are able to treat both immunologically "hot" and "cold" cancers. Different from traditional platinum-based antitumour drugs by inhibition of DNAs, we also deliver a strong antitumour strategy by targeting lysosome to induce divergent metabolic programs in macrophages and tumours for cancer immunotherapy.

Bioelectrochemistry 2023; 151:108373. [PMID: 36702078 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioelechem.2023.108373] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/18/2022] [Revised: 01/13/2023] [Accepted: 01/17/2023] [Indexed: 01/22/2023]
Abstract
The synthesized ferrocene appended naphthalimide derivative (FND) exhibited great binding ability toward dsDNA, while its usage as the electrochemical hybridization indicator was restricted by the poor water solubility. Herein, a simple and effective signal amplification strategy for FND based label-free DNA biosensors was developed based on the interaction between FND and cyclodextrin. α-Cyclodextrin (α-CD), β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) and γ-cyclodextrin (γ-CD) were helpful to amplify the signal of the DNA biosensor, while the signal amplification effect of α-CD was better than that of β-CD and γ-CD. Under the optimum conditions, there was a 3-fold increase in the sensitivity of the DNA biosensor after the addition of α-CD. The interaction between FND and α-/β-/γ-CD was investigated by differential pulse voltammetry and fluorescence experiment. Experimental results showed that α-CD not only minimized the impact on the electrochemical activity of FND but also improved the dispersity of FND in aqueous solution. That was why the proposed biosensor showed higher sensitivity in the presence of α-CD. This strategy was universal for other ferrocenyl indicators with similar structures as used in this work.

Abstract
In this work, 1,8-naphthalimide (NMI)-conjugated three hybrid dipeptides constituted of a β-amino acid and an α-amino acid have been designed, synthesized, and purified. Here, in the design, the chirality of the α-amino acid was varied to study the effect of molecular chirality on the supramolecular assembly. Self-assembly and gelation of three NMI conjugates were studied in mixed solvent systems [water and dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO)]. Interestingly, chiral NMI derivatives [NMI-βAla-lVal-OMe (NLV) and NMI-βAla-dVal-OMe (NDV)] formed self-supported gels, while the achiral NMI derivative [NMI-βAla-Aib-OMe, (NAA)] failed to form any kind of gel at 1 mM concentration and in a mixed solvent (70% water in DMSO medium). Self-assembly processes were thoroughly investigated using UV-vis spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), fluorescence, and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy. A J-type molecular assembly was observed in the mixed solvent system. The CD study indicated the formation of chiral assembled structures for NLV and NDV, which were mirror images of one another, and the self-assembled state by NAA was CD-silent. The nanoscale morphology of the three derivatives was studied using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). In the case of NLV and NDV, left- and right-handed fibrilar morphologies were observed, respectively. In contrast, a flake-like morphology was noticed for NAA. The DFT study indicated that the chirality of the α-amino acid influenced the orientation of π-π stacking interactions of naphthalimide units in the self-assembled structure that in turn regulated the helicity. This is a unique work where molecular chirality controls the nanoscale assembly as well as the macroscopic self-assembled state.

Abstract
Due to the scarcity of spectroscopic studies on metal-coordinated naphthalimides, and aiming to investigate fundamental spectroscopic aspects, we have described here the aggregates of N-(4-pyridyl)-1,8-naphthalimide (NI-py) in solution as well as solvatochromism displayed by it and by the coordination compounds [Ru3O(CH3COO)6(NI-py)3]n, n = +1 or 0. Based both on theoretical calculations and luminescence spectra, we demonstrated that in aqueous media, the NI-py π-stacking is thermodynamically favored, suggesting a preferable conformation where the pyridine and naphthalene moieties of two NI-py molecules are parallel to each other, but are not co-planar within an individual molecule, due to steric hindrance. The NI-py ππ* band displayed positive solvatochromism, to which the major contribution was the Catalan's SP parameter (solvent polarizability). This observation is fully consistent with the extended π-electron cloud of the NI-py naphthalene ring. However, a secondary contribution of the SA (solvent acidity) was also observed, owing to the electron pairs available at the N-heteroatom of the pyridine rings and at the carbonyl-group oxygen atoms. Finally, the multiparametric solvent effect analysis indicated that the electronic coupling between coordinated NI-py and the metallic core is modulated by the charge of the [Ru3O(CH3COO)6] core, being higher for the reduced species [Ru3O(CH3COO)6(NI-py)]0. In addition, in this reduced species, there is no overlap between NI-py ππ* and the [Ru3O(CH3COO)6] charge transfer (CT) transitions, leading to the observation of the dependence of the CT energy with the SdP parameter (solvent dipolarity) since the CT transition implies in a charge-separation state.

Abstract
Over the last few years, the development of fluorescent probes has received considerable attention. Fluorescence signaling allows noninvasive and harmless real-time imaging with great spectral resolution in living objects, which is extremely useful for modern biomedical applications. This review presents the basic photophysical principles and strategies for the rational design of fluorescent probes as visualization agents in medical diagnosis and drug delivery systems. Common photophysical phenomena, such as Intramolecular Charge Transfer (ICT), Twisted Intramolecular Charge Transfer (TICT), Photoinduced Electron Transfer (PET), Excited-State Intramolecular Proton Transfer (ESIPT), Fluorescent Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET), and Aggregation-Induced Emission (AIE), are described as platforms for fluorescence sensing and imaging in vivo and in vitro. The presented examples are focused on the visualization of pH, biologically important cations and anions, reactive oxygen species (ROS), viscosity, biomolecules, and enzymes that find application for diagnostic purposes. The general strategies regarding fluorescence probes as molecular logic devices and fluorescence–drug conjugates for theranostic and drug delivery systems are discussed. This work could be of help for researchers working in the field of fluorescence sensing compounds, molecular logic gates, and drug delivery.

Abstract
The development of pyrene-based fluorescent assembled systems with desirable emission characteristics by reducing conventional concentration quenching and/or aggregation-induced quenching (ACQ) is highly desirable. In this investigation, we designed a new azobenzene-functionalized pyrene derivative (AzPy) in which sterically bulky azobenzene is linked to pyrene. Absorption and fluorescence spectroscopic results before and after molecular assembly indicate that even in a dilute N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) solution (~10 μM), AzPy molecules experienced significant concentration quenching, whereas the emission intensities of AzPy DMF-H2O turbid suspensions containing self-assembled aggregates were slightly enhanced and showed similar values regardless of the concentration. The shape and size of sheet-like structures, from incomplete flakes less than one micrometer in size to well-completed rectangular microstructures, could be adjusted by changing the concentration. Importantly, such sheet-like structures exhibit concentration dependence of their emission wavelength from blue to yellow-orange. Comparison with the precursor (PyOH) demonstrates that the introduction of a sterically twisted azobenzene moiety plays an important role in converting the spatial molecular arrangements from H- to J-type aggregation mode. Thus, AzPy chromophores grow into anisotropic microstructures through inclined J-type aggregation and high crystallinity, which are responsible for their unexpected emission characteristics. Our findings provide useful insight into the rational design of fluorescent assembled systems.

Abstract
The synthesis and fabrication of spin coated films of a new Eu3+ complex [Eu(1)3] derived from the 1,8-naphthalimide containing ligand 1H is presented. The complex is multi-emissive displaying blue emission from the 1,8-naphthalimide fluorophore and red emission from the Eu3+ centre in both solution-state and solid-state. This allows the overall emission to be tuned by changing the excitaton wavelength, where varing degrees of red and blue emission intensity alter the overall emission colour from blue, to red and including white-light emission. The complex was spin-coated onto quartz slides giving 134 nm thick coatings that retained the multi-emissive and colour tunable properties. Overall, resulting in a colour-tunable system which in solution, solid, and thin film states can alter the overall colour from deep red to dark blue.

Abstract
Aggregation-induced emissive fluorogens (AIEgens) are promising building blocks for fluorescent polymeric hydrogels (FPHs) because intense fluorescence intensities are usually guaranteed by spontaneous aggregates of hydrophobic AIEgens in a hydrophilic polymer network. However, most AIE-active FPHs are single-color fluorescent and cannot display tunable emission colors. Additionally, efforts to produce mechanically strong AIE-active hydrogels have been largely ignored, restricting their potential uses. Herein, we present the synthesis of an AIE-active methyl picolinate-substituted 1,8-naphthalimide monomer (MP-NI) for fabricating mechanical tough and multicolor FPHs. Owing to the introduction of bulky and coordinative methyl picolinate group, these specially designed MP-NI molecules were forced to adopt propeller-shaped conformation that renders them with intense aggregation-induced blue emission. Moreover, the MP-NI moieties grafted in a hydrogel matrix can sensitize red and green fluorescence of Eu3+and Tb3+ via antenna effect. Consequently, multicolor fluorescent hydrogels that sustain a high stress of 1 MPa were obtained by chemically introducing MP-NI moieties into dually cross-linked alginate polymer networks with high-density metal (Ca2+/Tb3+/Eu3+) coordination and hydrogen bonding crosslinks. Their capacity to enable the writing of arbitrary multicolor fluorescent patterns using Eu3+/Tb3+ as inks were finally demonstrated, suggesting their potential uses for smart display and information encryption.

Abstract
Novel 1,8-naphthalimide-based fluorescent probes NI-1 and NI-2 were designed and screened for use as chemosensors for detection of heavy metal ions. Two moieties, methylpyridine (NI-1) and hydroxyphenyl (NI-2), were attached via piperazine at the C-4 position of the napthalimide core resulting in a notable effect on their spectroscopic properties. NI-1 and NI-2 are pH sensitive and show an increase in fluorescence intensity at around 525 nm (switch "on") in the acidic environment, with pKa values at 4.98 and 2.91, respectively. Amongst heavy metal ions only Cu2+ and Hg2+ had a significant effect on the spectroscopic properties. The fluorescence of NI-1 is quenched in the presence of either Cu2+ or Hg2+ which is attributed to the formation of 1:1 metal-ligand complexes with binding constants of 3.6 × 105 and 3.9 × 104, respectively. The NI-1 chemosensor can be used for the quantification of Cu2+ ions in sub-micromolar quantities, with a linear range from 250 nM to 4.0 μM and a detection limit of 1.5 × 10-8 M. The linear range for the determination of Hg2+ is from 2 μM to 10 μM, with a detection limit of 8.8 × 10-8 M. Conversely, NI-2 behaves like a typical photoinduced electron transfer (PET) sensor for Hg2+ ions. Here, the formation of a complex with Hg2+ (binding constant 8.3 × 103) turns the green fluorescence of NI-2 into the "on" state. NI-2 showed remarkable selectivity towards Hg2+ ions, allowing for determination of Hg2+ concentration over a linear range of 1.3 μM to 25 μM and a limit of detection of 4.1 × 10-7 M.

Abstract
Two new twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) donor-π-acceptor compounds were designed by combining a well-known electron acceptor naphthalimide unit with a classic electron donor dimethylaniline through two types of different rigid linkers. The combined steady-state and time-resolved spectroscopy of molecules in solvents of different polarities in comparison to solid-state solvation experiments of doped polymer matrixes of different polarities allowed distinguishing between solvation and conformation determined processes. The photophysical measurements revealed that non-polar solutions possess high fluorescence quantum yields of up to 70% which is a property of pre-twisted/planar molecules in the excited charge transfer (CT) states. The increase of polarity allows tuning the Stokes shift through all the visible wavelength range up to 8601 cm-1 which is accompanied by a three orders of magnitude drop of fluorescence quantum yields. This is a result of the emerged TICT states as dimethylaniline twists to a perpendicular position against the naphthalimide core. The TICT reaction of molecules enables an additional non-radiative excitation decay channel, which is not present if the twisting is forbidden in a rigid polymer matrix. Transient absorption spectroscopy was employed to visualize the excited state dynamics and to obtain the excited state reaction constants, revealing that TICT may occur from both the Franck-Condon region and the solvated pre-twisted/planar CT states. Both molecules undergo the same photophysical processes, however, a longer linker and thus a higher excited state dipole moment determines the faster excited state reactions.

Abstract
The employment of N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) to design luminescent metal compounds has been the focus of recent intense investigations because of the strong σ-donor properties, which bring stability to the whole system and tend to push the d-d dark states so high in energy that they are rendered thermally inaccessible, thereby generating highly emissive complexes for useful applications such as organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), or featuring chiroptical properties, a field that is still in its infancy. Among the NHC complexes, those containing organic chromophores such as naphthalimide, pyrene, and carbazole exhibit rich emission behavior and thus have attracted extensive interest in the past five years, especially carbene coinage metal complexes with carbazolate ligands. In this review, the design strategies of NHC-based luminescent platinum and iridium complexes with large spin-orbit-coupling (SOC) are described first. Subsequent paragraphs illustrate the recent advances of luminescent coinage metal complexes with nucleophilic- and electrophilic-based carbenes based on silver, gold, and copper metal complexes that have the ability to display rich excited state emissions in particular via thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF). The luminescence mechanism and excited state dynamics are also described. We then summarize the advance of NHC-metal complexes in the aforementioned fields in recent years. Finally, we propose the development trend of this fast-growing field of luminescent NHC-metal complexes.

Abstract
We have developed a new naphthalimide-based amphiphile (YN-1) for the simultaneous detection of ATP and CTP. In YN-1, the cationic tyrosine-linked polyamine (+2 charge, hydrophilic unit) is appended at the -peri position of naphthalimide (hydrophobic unit). YN-1 and its Boc-protected compound 4 were characterized using state-of-the-art spectroscopic and optical techniques such as NMR, IR, UV-vis and fluorescence. The fluorescence data revealed that YN-1 showed a 'turn-on' (λem = 440 nm) fluorescence response for nanomolar detection of nucleoside triphosphates such as ATP and CTP in 20% HEPES buffer-DMSO solution. YN-1 also showed a concentration-based discrimination between ATP and CTP. YN-1 has been successfully applied for bioimaging of nucleoside triphosphates in MCF-7 live cancer cells with good compatibility. Therefore, the important findings from the present work will provide insight for future development of fluorescent probes to detect various kinds of essential nucleoside triphosphates.

Abstract
Helical supramolecular architectures play important structural and functional roles in biological systems. The helicity of synthetic molecules can be tuned mainly by the chiral manipulation of the system. However, tuning of helicity by the achiral unit of the molecules is less studied. In this work, the helicity of naphthalimide-capped peptide-based gel nanofibers is tuned by the alteration of methylene units present in the achiral amino acid. The inversion of supramolecular helicity has been extensively studied by CD spectroscopy and morphological analysis. The density functional theory (DFT) study indicates that methylene spacers influence the orientation of π-π stacking interactions of naphthalimide units in the self-assembled structure that regulates the helicity. This work illustrates a new approach to tuning the supramolecular chirality of self-assembled biomaterials.

Abstract
Fluorescent probes are essential for imaging of cancer cells and for tracking organelles inside cells. We have synthesized three molecular rotors AIN, AINP and F-AINP based on 1-aminoindole (AI) as an electron donor and naphthalimide as an electron acceptor. All compounds showed charge transfer (CT) character, aggregation induced emission (AIE) and emission responsiveness towards temperature variation and solvent viscosity. AINP was most sensitive towards viscosity among all molecules with a viscosity sensitivity of ∼0.37. AIN, AINP and F-AINP showed negative temperature coefficients in chloroform with internal sensitivities of -0.04% °C-1, -0.08% °C-1 and -0.1% °C-1, respectively. Furthermore, all the rotors were sensitive towards the pH of the solvent environment as revealed by acid titration and base back-titration and served as colorimetric pH sensors with intriguing photophysical characteristics. Additionally, AINP and F-AINP were used to image the live cancer cell line A549 and the fibroblast cell line L929, and the imaging studies revealed the incorporation of dyes in the cytoplasmic space of the cells except for the nuclei.

Abstract
A series of carbazole-containing gold(I) complexes modified with different substituents were successfully designed and synthesized, and their molecular structures were characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. The aggregation-induced behaviors of these gold(I) complexes were studied by ultraviolet/visible and photoluminescence spectroscopy. Meanwhile, their mechanical force-responsive emissive properties were also investigated via solid-state photoluminescence spectroscopy. Interestingly, all these gold(I)-based luminogenic molecules were capable of exhibiting aggregation-induced phosphorescent emission phenomena. Furthermore, their solids of three gold(I) complexes displayed contrasting mechano-responsive phosphorescence features. More specifically, trifluoromethyl or methoxyl-substituted luminophores 1 and 3 demonstrated mechanochromic behaviors involving blue-shifted phosphorescence changes, and their mechanoluminochromic phenomena were reversible. However, the solid-state phosphorescence of phenyl-substituted luminophor 2 was not sensitive to external mechanical force.

Abstract
A silatranyl appended furfural Schiff base (Silt-FUR) has been synthesized and characterized by spectroscopic techniques, elemental analysis and mass spectrometry. The dissolution of Silt-FUR in methanol-water (90:10 v/v) results in the formation of fluorescent nano-aggregates due to the hydrolysis of the silatranyl ring. The formation of nano-aggregates has been confirmed by dynamic light scattering, scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The nano-aggregates exhibit quenching of fluorescence in the presence of phenolic brominated flame retardants such as 3,3',5,5'-tetrabromobisphenol A, 2,4-dibromophenol, 2,4,6-tribromophenol, and pentabromophenol. Density-Functional Theory and NMR titration suggest that acid-base pair formation between azomethinic functionality and flame retardants is the main cause of quenching of fluorescent signal as it causes photoinduced electron transfer. Due to the excellent spectrofluorimetric response of Silt-FUR nano-aggregates to detect brominated phenols, a spectrofluorimetric method has been standardized for the quantification of brominated flame retardants. The detection limit for pentabromophenol obtained is 0.432 µM under optimal experimental conditions, and the linear range of the determination is 0.0495-1.35 µM. Thus, the in-situ generation of nano-aggregates offers a user-friendly method for the detection, quantification and extraction of the brominated phenols with exceptionally high sensitivity and selectivity for pentabromophenol.

Abstract
Dyad compound NI-SP bearing 1,8-naphthalimide (NI) and styrylpyridine (SP) photoactive units, in which the N-phenylazadithia-15-crown-5 ether receptor is linked with the energy donor naphthalimide chromophore, has been evaluated as a ratiometric fluorescent chemosensor for mercury (II) ions in living cells. In an aqueous solution, NI-SP selectively responds to the presence of Hg2+ via the enhancement in the emission intensity of NI due to the inhibition of the photoinduced electron transfer from the receptor to the NI fragment. At the same time, the long wavelength fluorescence band of SP, arising as a result of resonance energy transfer from the excited NI unit, appears to be virtually unchanged upon Hg2+ binding. This allows self-calibration of the optical response. The observed spectral behavior is consistent with the formation of the (NI-SP)·Hg2+ complex (dissociation constant 0.13 ± 0.04 µM). Bio-imaging studies showed that the ratio of fluorescence intensity in the 440–510 nm spectral region to that in the 590–650 nm region increases from 1.1 to 2.8 when cells are exposed to an increasing concentration of mercury (II) ions, thus enabling the detection of intracellular Hg2+ ions and their quantitative analysis in the 0.04–1.65 μM concentration range.

Abstract
The rational design of small building block molecules and understanding their molecular assemblies are of fundamental importance in creating new stimuli-responsive organic architectures with desired shapes and functions. Based on the experimental results of light-induced conformational changes of four types of triangular azo dyes with different terminal functional groups, as well as absorption and fluorescence characteristics associated with their molecular assemblies, we report that aggregation-active emission enhancement (AIEE)-active compound (1) substituted with sterically crowded tert-butyl (t-Bu) groups showed approximately 35% light-induced molecular switching and had a strong tendency to assemble into highly stable hexagonal structures with AIEE characteristics. Their sizes were regulated from nanometer-scale hexagonal rods to micrometer-scale sticks depending on the concentration. This is in contrast to other triangular compounds with bromo (Br) and triphenylamine (TPA) substituents, which exhibited no photoisomerization and tended to form flexible fibrous structures. Moreover, non-contact exposure of the fluorescent hexagonal nanorods to ultraviolet (UV) light led to a dramatic hexagonal-to-amorphous structure transition. The resulting remarkable variations, such as in the contrast of microscopic images and fluorescence characteristics, were confirmed by various microscopic and spectroscopic measurements.

Abstract
Herein, we report emissive aminoquinoline derivatives (TFMAQ) containing alkylmorpholine and arylmorpholine groups and their photophysical properties, acid-responsiveness, and organelle targeting. The alkylmorpholine group is well-known to favour accumulation in lysosomes and be acid-responsive, but, counterintuitively, the TFMAQ derivatives containing ethylmorpholine groups showed limited accumulation in lysosomes and, instead, preferential accumulation in lipid droplets. The findings reported here will aid the development of organelle/tissue specific dyes for cell imaging and diagnosis.
