Abstract
Continuous efforts are ongoing to discover new luminescent materials with appropriate properties for applications in medicine, serving as theranostic agents for healing and bioimaging. In this paper, novel single-phase carbonated calcium chlorapatite (Ca10(PO4)5(CO3)Cl2, abbreviated as CaClAp-CO3) phosphors activated with varying concentrations of Sm3+ ions were successfully fabricated using both co-precipitation and hydrothermal methods to investigate the influence of the synthesis techniques on the physicochemical properties of these materials. The effects of doping concentration of Sm3+ ions and synthesis techniques on the structure, photoluminescence (PL), energy transfer, substitute sites, fluorescence lifetime and luminescence colour of phosphors were investigated. The synthesized phosphors were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) to confirm their crystal phase structure and purity. Vibrational features and the incorporation of carbonate ions were verified using Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The obtained materials emit reddish-orange light, primarily from the most intense 4G5/2 → 6H7/2 transition. The electric dipole to magnetic dipole transition ratio (ED/MD), CIE colour coordinates and colour purity were determined to provide additional insights into the spectroscopic attributes of the obtained phosphors. In addition, the concentration quenching was also observed, and its mechanism was proposed based on theoretical calculations showing the multipolar interactions.

Lanthanide-Based Single-Chain Nanoparticles as "Visual" Pass/Fail Sensors of Maximum Permissible Concentration of Cu 2+ Ions in Drinking Water. Macromol Rapid Commun 2024:e2400116. [PMID: 38558468 DOI: 10.1002/marc.202400116] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2024] [Revised: 03/22/2024] [Indexed: 04/04/2024]
Abstract
The maximum permissible concentration (m.p.c.) of Cu2+ ions in drinking water, as set by the World Health Organization (WHO) is m.p.c. (Cu2+)WHO = 30 × 10-6 m, whereas the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) establishes a more restrictive value of m.p.c. (Cu2+)EPA = 20 × 10-6 m. Herein, for the first time ever, a family of m.p.c. (Cu2+) "visual" pass/fail sensors is developed based on water-soluble lanthanide-containing single-chain nanoparticles (SCNPs) exhibiting an average hydrodynamic diameter less than 10 nm. Both europium (Eu)- and terbium (Tb)-based SCNPs allow excessive Cu2+ to be readily detected in water, as indicated by the red-to-transparent and green-to-transparent changes, respectively, under UV light irradiation, occurring at 30 × 10-6 m Cu2+ in both cases. Complementary, dysprosium (Dy)-based SCNPs show a yellow color-to-transparent transition under UV light irradiation at ≈15 × 10-6 m Cu2+. Eu-, Tb-, and Dy-containing SCNPs prove to be selective for Cu2+ ions as they do not respond against other metal ions, such as Fe2+, Ag+, Co2+, Ba2+, Ni2+, Hg2+, Pb2+, Zn2+, Fe3+, Ca2+, Mn2+, Mg2+, or Cr3+. These new m.p.c. (Cu2+) "visual" pass/fail sensors are thoroughly characterized by a combination of techniques, including size exclusion chromatography, dynamic light scattering, inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry, as well as infrared, UV, and fluorescence spectroscopy.

Abstract
Ascorbic acid (AA) is an important biomolecule, the deficiency or maladjustment of which is associated with the symptoms of many diseases (e.g., cardiovascular disease or cancer). Therefore, there is a need to develop a fluorescent probe capable of detecting AA in aqueous media. Here, we report the synthesis, structural, and spectroscopic characterization (by means of, e.g., XRD, XPS, IR and Raman spectroscopy, TG, SEM, and EDS analyses), as well as the photoluminescent properties of a metal-organic framework (MOF) based on Cu2+ and Eu3+ ions. The ion-exchange process of the extraframework cation in anionic Cu-based MOF is proposed as an appropriate strategy to obtain a new material with a nondisturbed structure and a sensitivity to interaction with AA. Accordingly, a novel Eu[Cu3(μ3-OH)(μ3-4-carboxypyrazolato)3] compound for the selective optical detection of AA with a short detection time of 5 min is described.

Abstract
This research investigates hydrothermally synthesized hydroxyapatite nanoparticles doped with rubidium(I) and europium(III) ions. Investigation focused on establishing the influence of co-doped Eu3+ and Rb+ ions on hydroxyapatite lattice. Therefore, structural, and morphological properties were characterized via using X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD), infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), as well as transmission electron microscopy (TEM) techniques. Furthermore, this investigation evaluates the impact of various Rb+ ion doping concentrations on the distinct red emission of co-doped Eu3+ ions. Hence, luminescence properties of the obtained materials were evaluated by measuring emission excitation, emission spectra, and luminescence decays. As established by numerous studies, synthetic hydroxyapatite has excellent application in biomedical field, as it is fully biocompatible. Its biocompatible makes it highly useful in the biomedical field as a bone fracture filler or hydroxyapatite coated dental implant. By the incorporation of Eu3+ ions and Rb+ ions we established the impact these co-doped ions have on the biocompatibility of hydroxyapatite powders. Therefore, biocompatibility toward a ram's red blood cells was evaluated to exclude potential cytotoxic features of the synthesized compounds. Additionally, experimental in vitro bioactive properties of hydroxyapatite nanoparticles doped with Rb+ and Eu3+ ions were established using a mouse osteoblast model. These properties are discussed in detail as they contribute to a novel method in regenerative medicine.

Abstract
Hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (HAP NPs) are host materials and can be modified with various substrates and dopants. Among them, rare earth (RE) ions doped HAP NPs have gathered attention due to their unique physicochemical and imaging properties. Compared to other fluorescence probes, RE-doped HAP NPs display advantages in high brightness, high contrast, photostability, nonblinking, and narrow emission bands. Meanwhile, their intrinsic features (composition, morphology, size, crystallinity, and luminescence intensity) can be adjusted by changing the dopant ratio, synthesizing temperature, reaction time, and techniques. And they have been used in various biomedical applications, including imaging probe, drug delivery, bone tissue engineering, and antibacterial studies. This review surveys the luminescent properties, fluorescence enhancement, synthetic methods, and biocompatibility of various RE-doped HAP NPs consolidated from different research works, for their employments in biomedical applications. For this literature review, an electronic search was conducted in the Pubmed, Web of Science, Google Scholar, Scopus and SciFinder databases, using the keywords: hydroxyapatite, rare earth, lanthanide, fluorescence, and imaging. Literature searches of English-language publications from 1979 with updates through April, 2022, and a total of 472 potential papers were identified. In addition, a few references were located by noting their citation in other studies reviewed. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (HAP NPs) have a broad range of promising biological applications. Although prospective biomedical applications are not limited to rare earth-doped hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (RE-doped HAP NPs), some cases do make use of the distinctive features of RE-elements to achieve the expected functions for HAP families. This review surveys the luminescent properties, synthetic methods, and biocompatibility of various RE-doped HAP NPs consolidated from different research works, for their employments in biomedical applications, including imaging probe, drug delivery, bone tissue repair and tracking, and anti-bacteria. Overall, we expect to shed some light on broadening the research and application of RE-doped HAP NPs in biomedical field.

Abstract
The relative sensitivities of structurally related Eu(III) complexes to quenching by electron and energy transfer processes have been compared. In two sets of 9-coordinate complexes based on 1,4,7-triazacyclononane, the Eu emission lifetime decreased as the number of conjugated sensitising groups and the number of unbound ligand N atoms increased, consistent with photoinduced electron transfer to the excited Eu(III) ion that is suppressed by N-protonation. Quenching of the Eu 5D0 excited state may also occur by electronic energy transfer, and the quenching of a variety of 9-coordinate complexes by a cyanine dye with optimal spectral overlap occurs by an efficient FRET process, defined by a Förster radius (R0) value of 68 Å and characterised by second rate constants in the order of 109 M-1 s-1; these values were insensitive to changes in the ligand structure and to the overall complex hydrophilicity. Quenching of the Eu and Tb excited states by energy transfer to Mn(II) and Cu(II) aqua ions occurred over much shorter distances, with rate constants of around 106 M-1 s-1, owing to the much lower spectral overlap integral. The calculated R0 values were estimated to be between 2.5 to 4 Å in the former case, suggesting the presence of a Dexter energy transfer mechanism that requires much closer contact, consistent with the enhanced sensitivity of the rate of quenching to the degree of steric shielding of the lanthanide ion provided by the ligand.
