HPC nanogels possess bright blue fluorescence which eliminates the use of additional probing agents in image-guided drug delivery. The results showed that disulfide crosslinked HPC nanogels are promising vehicles for stimulated photosensitizer delivery in advanced PDT.

The development of synthetic strategies for functional building units plays a central role in supramolecular chemistry. Both porphyrin and crown ethers have attracted the attention of researchers worldwide owing to their unique properties. It is envisioned that the integration of the two molecules will result in hybrid materials with potential applications in many fields. In the present study, a new porphyrin derivative 3 appended with four 18-crown-6 (18C6) ether moieties was synthesized through the Suzuki-Miyaura coupling of boronic ester porphyrin 1 and 4-bromobenzo-18-crown-6 2 in 80% yield. Porphyrin 3 was fully characterized by 1H/[Formula: see text]C NMR spectroscopy and high resolution mass spectrometry. The tendency of the 18C6 to form host-guest complexes with ammonium cations was exploited to assemble cation responsive hybrid material of porphyrin 3 and ammonium immobilized mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs). Furthermore, the potential application of the 3/MSNs conjugate as a cation-responsive drug delivery vehicle was investigated in solution by UV-vis and fluorescence spectroscopies.

PVP/[Sr (NO3)2+Al (NO3)3+Eu (NO3)3+Dy (NO3)3] composite nanofibres were prepared by electrospinning technique. SrAl2O4:Eu2+, Dy3+ luminescent nanofibers were synthesized by calcination under a reducing atmosphere at 1100°C. The luminescent nanofibers were characterized by XRD, SEM, FTIR, TG, fluorescence spectrophotometer, respectively. The experimental results showed that the products are with monoclinic SrAl2O4 crystal structure, the diameter of nanofibers is about 100nm and the size is uniformly distributed. The luminescent nanofibers emit bright blue fluorescence of 470nm in wavelength of Eu2+ ion characteristic emission under the excitation of 365nm in wavelength of ultraviolet ray. The position of emission peak exhibit blue shift in some degree compared with that of bulk SrAl2O4:Eu2+, Dy3+.
