A sensitive and selective fluorescence “turn on–off” strategy for simultaneous detection of Cu2+and hemin was proposed on the basis of the formation of fluorescent CuNCs and the inner filter effect of hemin on the fluorescence of the CuNCs.

AbstractDetection of mercury with high sensitivity and selectivity constitutes a significant research concern. Here, we report an amplified fluorescence turn-on assay for mercury(II) with an improved performance. This sensing system takes advantage of optically amplifying fluorescent conjugated polyfluorene derivatives and DNA immobilized silica nanospheres (NSs) in addition to the specific thymine- mercury(II)-thymine(T- Hg2+-T) interaction. The employment of ion-specific T- Hg2+-T coordination increases the melting temperature (Tm) of the double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) on the hybridized NS surface. After thermal washing at 45 °C, the Hg2+ treated sample (dsDNA-NS) was effectively differentiated from that treated with nonspecific ions through monitoring fluorescence emission of fluorescein (Fl) labeled target DNA remained on the NS surface. Finally, a cationic conjugated polyfluorene derivative (CCP) was introduced to electrostatically associate with the DNA molecules on the NS surface, resulting in an amplified Fl signal via fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) from the CCP to the dye molecule. In comparison with the use of Fl alone as a signal reporter, the presence of CCP significantly enhances the detection fluorescence intensity, reduces false-positive signal, and improves the detection selectivity for mercury(II). Further improvement in the probe design could yield more efficient metal ion sensors, which have the potential to be operated at room temperature and for the detection of other metal ions besides mercury(II).

Abstract Carboxylic acids conjugated with 4,5-dimethoxy-2-nitrobenzyl photoremovable protecting group are well known and widely used for biological studies. In this paper, we study the photolysis of likewise “caged” acetic, caprylic and arachidonic acids. Unexpectedly, we observed huge growth of fluorescence emission at ~430 nm during photolysis. Following further UV irradiation, a product with fluorescence at longer wavelength was formed (470 nm excitation / ~500–600 nm emission). While it may be used to monitor the “uncaging”, these fluorescent products may interfere with widespread dyes such as fluorescein in biomedical experiments. This effect might be negligible if the photolysis products dissolve in the medium. On the other hand, we observed that arachidonic and caprylic acids derivatives self-organize in emulsion droplets in water environment due to long lipophilic chains. Illumination of droplets by UV rapidly induces orange fluorescence excited by 488 nm light. This fluorescence turn-on was fast (~0.1 s) and apparently caused by the accumulation of water-insoluble fluorescent residuals inside droplets. These self-organized lipophilic structures with fluorescence turn-on capability may be of interest for biomedical and other application. We have identified and hypothesized some compounds which may be responsible for the observed fluorescense.

<p>A boronic acid-based anthracene fluorescent probe was functionalised with an acrylamide unit to incorporate into a hydrogel system for monosaccharide detection<i>. </i>In solution, the fluorescent probe<b> </b>displayed a strong fluorescence turn-on response upon exposure to fructose, and an expected trend in apparent binding constants, as judged by a fluorescence response where D-fructose > D-galactose > D-mannose > D-glucose. The hydrogel incorporating the boronic acid monomer demonstrated the ability to detect monosaccharides by fluorescence with the same overall trend as the monomer in solution with the addition of fructose resulting in a 10-fold enhancement (≤ 0.25 M). <b><u></u></b></p>
