摘要：
The influence of the aggregation-induced emission (AIE) effect on the luminescence and the chirality of two chiral Au clusters (R)-1 and (S)-1 was well demonstrated. Their solid states exhibited extremely bright phosphorescence with quantum yields above 70%. The two clusters were free of luminescence and chirality in diluted solution. Meanwhile, the formation of aggregate states could not only induce both the luminescence and the chirality, but also further facilitate their enhancements, which resulted in the output and the modulation of desirable circularly polarized luminescence.

摘要：
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are a type of active species in body, and can participate in the process of tumor development under the condition of oxidative stress, which can lead to the apoptosis of cancer cells through a variety of different mechanisms. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a novel method of treating tumor with photosensitive drugs and laser activation. However, PDT suffers from the poor penetrating depth of tissue of excitation light. By comparison, sonodynamic therapy (SDT) adopts high-penetrating sound waves to trigger the ultrasound-responsive materials called sonosensitizers for the treatment of cancer by different mechanisms such as ROS, ultrasound response cavitation, and thermal effects. The efficiency of SDT is bound up with molecular structures and performances of sonosensitizers, which has promoted the design of sonosensitive agents and their development in various biological fields. In clinical treatment, regulating the tumor microenvironment offers a door and new ideas for effective tumor treatment. For tumor microenvironment (TME) involving pH values, excessive production of hydrogen peroxide, scientists have designed and synthesized many nanomaterials to produce hydroxyl radicals (center dot OH) for tumor chemodynamic therapy (CDT) through Fenton and Fenton-like reactions. Many studies have indicated that its therapeutic efficiency is associated with the increase of center dot OH production in situ of the tumor. Many approaches based on Fenton reaction have been used to improve the production of center dot OH, including the choice of nanomaterials and the adjustment of the microenvironment. In view of the above two new treatment methods, this article summarizes, discusses and enlightens the SDT-related sonosensitizers and CDT-related nanomaterials in recent years, and discusses their applications and potential challenges.

摘要：
The homeostasis of acid/base and alkali metal played critical roles in life process. To get insight into their functional mechanism, a large amount of detectors, especially based on organic fluorescent probes have been largely developed and used to monitor the dynamic changes of pH and alkali metal ions. Importantly, fluorescent probes provide a portable means to carry out a real-time determination and even a clinical diagnosis for abnormal pathological states. Over the past decades, numerous fluorescent probes for the pH and alkali metals analytes have been extensively developed and applied in living systems. In this review, we outlined the recent advances on fluorescent probes for pH and alkali metal ions containing their sensing mechanism, binding modes and application. (C) 2020 Elsevier B.V.

摘要：
Novel classes of contorted hexabenzocoronenes (c-HBCs) which exhibit a doubly concave configuration were synthesized by using hexabenzocoronene as bridge ligand and diphenylamine/triphenylamine as the redox-active termini. Although the analysis of the crystal structures of tri-di(4-methoxyphenyl) amino-substituted HBC (1), trimethoxy-substituted HBC (3) and tri(triphenylamine)-substituted HBC (4) show that the peripheral modified arylamine groups have a certain influence on the interaction force between molecules, the results of UV-vis absorption and fluorescence emission spectra indicate that these arylamine-modified hexabenzocoronenes have similar photophysical properties, which are primarily regulated by the c-HBC center. Subsequent electrochemical tests found that these compounds have multi-step redox process, and there is a certain degree of overlap between the arylamine and arylamine or between the arylamine and the bridge (c-HBC) during the oxidation process. Combining the UV-vis-NIR spectroelectrochemistry with the density functional theory (DFT) calculations, we further explored the electronic characters of the neutral and one-electron oxidation states of tri-di(4-methoxyphenyl)amino-substituted HBC (1), trimethoxy-substituted HBC (3) and tri(triphenylamine)substituted HBC (4).

摘要：
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S), a well-known signaling molecule, exerts significant regulatory effects on the cardiovascular and nervous systems. Therefore, monitoring the metabolism of H2S offers a potential mechanism to detect various diseases. In addition, biotin is significantly used as a targeting group to detect cancer cells exclusively. In this work, a biotin-guided benzoxadizole-based fluorescent probe, NP-biotin, was developed for H2S detection and evaluated in normal liver cell (LO2) and liver cancer cell (HepG2) lines. Results reveal that NP-biotin can detect cellular H2S with high sensitivity and selectivity. Moreover, NP-biotin has been confirmed to possess the ability to target cancer cells under the guidance of the biotin group.
摘要：
The different oxidation states of sulphur atom play a significant role on functional materials. In this work, a aryl-thioether and its sulphone substituted benzo[c][1,2,5]oxadiazole dyes were synthesized and utilized to determine thiol-containing amino acids. The result of selectivity experiments showed they detected the cysteine and homocysteine under physiological condition with negligible interference from other amino acids. In comparison to the thioether dye, the sulphone-based dye exhibited much faster response time for Cys and Hcy. However, the sulphone restricted its thiol-reactivity and bioimaging performance in living cells. By reducing the oxidation state of sulphur atom, we amazedly found that the sulfoxide-based dye still maintained high selectivity ultrafast response time for Cys/Hcy under physiological condition. It was worth mentioning that it also had high reactivity and good bioimaging performance that sulfone compounds did not have.

摘要：
IR780 as a commercially available dye with near-infrared emission has been extensively applied in fluorescent probes and bioimaging. In this work, to further intensify the optical behavior, a tetrahydropyridine ring was used to replace the cyclohexene ring at the center of IR780, forming a cyanine dye Cy-NH with near-infrared emission. Photophysical properties demonstrated that Cy-NH exhibits good optical performance. In particular, Cy-NH contains two functional reaction sites (e.g. Cl and NH sites on the tetrahydropyridine ring) and can be used to construct functional cyanine dyes. Investigation on imaging showed that these cyanines can be used as near-infrared fluorescent imaging agents in living cells and in vivo.

摘要：
Stimuli-responsive luminescent materials, which show various luminescence alterations upon the introduction of external mechanical forces, have attracted extraordinary attention owing to their promising applications in smart materials. Amongst, the phenomena of self-recovered mechanochromic luminescence constitute only a small proportion, and relevant systematic explorations are extremely limited. Here, we developed a series of new Au(i) complexes (AuIB-Cn, n = 5-10) featuring aggregation-induced emission properties, and systematically studied their solid-state self-recovery properties. We showed that the self-recovery speed could be elaborately tuned by introducing alkyl chains of different lengths, or changing the temperature. Increasing the alkyl chain length could speed up the self-recovery due to much faster intermolecular rearrangements. Lowering the temperature allowed for the capture of the originally superfast and unobservable self-recoveries of C8-C10 due to the decreased molecular mobility. In addition, we also demonstrated the great potentials of these AIE-active complexes serving as self-erasing rewritable paper and anti-counterfeit carbonless copy paper in practical applications.

摘要：
A commercial cyanine dye IR-780 and a thioether-containing dicarboxylic acid ligand were used to construct the near-infrared fluorescent probe, which was used as a near-infrared fluorescent indicator for the determination of mercury ions in water and in living cells. This indicator displayed high specificity towards Hg(2+) without any interference from other detecting species. Especially, the emission at 790nm dramatically increased more than 25 times after interacting with Hg(2+). The binding experiment showed that the indicator formed 1:1 complex with Hg(2+). More, this indicator could be applied in the visualization of Hg(2+) in living cells and measuring the Hg(2+) concentration of tap-water sample.
摘要：
Biomedical detection needs to develop more detection methods and reagents. CuFeS2, an I-III-IV ternary semiconductor material, has attracted great interest of researchers because of its optical, electrical, low toxicity and controllable chemical synthesis. Here, we synthesized CuFeS2 quantumdots (QDs) with hot-injectionmethod and their ECL behaviors were investigated for the first time, involving the co-reactant anode/cathode ECL emission and the related ECL mechanism. Moreover, a novel ECL immunosensor based on CuFeS2 QDs for the ultrasensitive detection of Cyclin D1 (CCND1) was designed and prepared. CuFeS2 QDs with uniform size and excellent optical properties were used as ECL emitters and Carboxyl Fe3O4 magnetic beads (MB) were utilized for magnetic separation of CCND1 from MCF-7 cells treated by sophora frevescens. In addition, reduced graphene oxide (rGO) andAuNPs by electrodeposition not only provided plentiful active sites for the immobilization of anti-CCND1 (primary antibody, Ab(1)), but also enhanced the conductivity of the electrode. Results indicated that under the optimal condition, the ECL signal was proportional to the logarithmic of CCND1 concentration in the linear range from 40 fg/mL to 0.8 mu g/mL with a detection limit of 15.8 fg/mL. Further, the good reproducibility, stability and selectivity of the as-prepared ECL immunosensor were also proved. Significantly, the anticancer effect of sophora frevescens on MCF-7 cells was investigated through quantitative analysis of overexpression of CCND1, which was related to proliferation of cancer cells. This research indicated the ECL immunosensor we suggested could offer great potential for the follow-up research in clinical diagnosis and anticancer drug screening.
