[PMID: 34835661 PMCID: PMC8625964 DOI: 10.3390/nano11112897] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/09/2021] [Revised: 10/23/2021] [Accepted: 10/27/2021] [Indexed: 01/01/2023]
Abstract
The concentration of sodium and potassium ions in biological fluids, such as blood, urine and sweat, is indicative of several basic body function conditions. Therefore, the development of simple methods able to detect these alkaline ions is of outmost importance. In this study, we explored the electrochemical and optical properties of graphene quantum dots (GQDs) combined with the selective chelating ability of the crown ethers 15-crown-5 and 18-crown-6, with the final aim to propose novel composites for the effective detection of these ions. The results obtained comparing the performances of the single GQDs and crown ethers with those of the GQDs-15-crown-5 and GQDs-18-crown-6 composites, have demonstrated the superior properties of these latter. Electrochemical investigation showed that the GQDs based composites can be exploited for the potentiometric detection of Na+ and K+ ions, but selectivity still remains a concern. The nanocomposites showed the characteristic fluorescence emissions of GQDs and crown ethers. The GQDs-18-crown-6 composite exhibited ratiometric fluorescence emission behavior with the variation of K+ concentration, demonstrating its promising properties for the development of a selective fluorescent method for potassium determination.

Yao Y, Ye JT, Li X, Zhang Y, Zhu SN, Qiu YQ. Regulating the NLO response of anthraquinone-supported thiourea-linked crown ether macrocycle by introducing metal cations: A DFT study.

Abstract
Recently, an anthraquinone-supported thiourea group linking a 1-aza-18-crown-6 macrocycle L has been the subject of extensive attention due to the perfect affinity towards metal cations. This work systematically researched the effects of different metal cations ([Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]) on the second-order nonlinear optical (NLO) properties of macrocycle L by density functional theory (DFT). DFT calculations revealed that the values of first hyperpolarizabilities ([Formula: see text] decrease significantly when alkaline earth metal cations ([Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]) were injected into macrocycle L due to the smaller charge transfer (CT) transition and larger transition energy. Conversely, the variations of [Formula: see text] values in alkali metal cations ([Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] and transition metal cations ([Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]) derivatives are not obvious compared to the [Formula: see text] value of macrocycle L. Therefore, the NLO properties of macrocycle can be effectively regulated by alkaline earth metal cations. Furthermore, we found that the [Formula: see text] value of anion-controlled complex Na(L)(ClO4) is larger than that of L*Na+ complex because the anion [Formula: see text] improves the planarity of anthraquinone-supported thiourea group leading to the enhancement of the CT ability. In addition, the influence of frequency-dependent on the first hyperpolarizabilities is weak for the current systems. Hence, we look forward to the conception of this work will offer a fundamental guideline and reference for further research for novel NLO materials.

Abstract
A new strategy to design new molecules based on a fused hydrocarbon ring system comprising a COT ring and two 5-membered rings has been proposed for the study of second order NLO properties. The four charge transferring groups -NR2 (R = H, Li, Na and K) in conjunction with a sufficient number of electron withdrawing groups lead to significant variation of structural parameters and polarity. The charge transfer characteristics can be strongly modulated by introducing calcium metal atoms at suitable sites. Ca metal atoms end-capping the nitrogen ends of two adjacent -CN groups lead to electride character while a Ca metal atom bonded directly to the COT ring leads to greater charge transfer. The size of the alkali metal atom has been found to have a dramatic effect on the enhancement of first hyperpolarizability. The most significant electronic asymmetry induced by the larger potassium metal atom strongly enhances the magnitude of first hyperpolarizability. The variation of first hyperpolarizability has been satisfactorily explained in terms of TD-CAMB3LYP calculated spectroscopic parameters in light of the two-state model.

Abstract
The metal-organic framework (MOF) complex (H3 O)2 [Zn4 (ur)(Hfdc)2 (fdc)4 ] (1, ur=urotropine, H2 fdc=furan-2,5-dicarboxylic acid) incorporates cryptand-like cavities, which can be used to separate and detect Rb+ and Cs+ optically. This is the first example of the effective employment of a MOF material for optical detection of these cations.
