Abstract Aggregation-induced emission (AIE) enhancement is attractive for bioimaging as it offers higher quantum yields (QYs) from fluorophores via modulation of their immediate environment. Fluorophores with high QYs are essential probes for investigating the spatiotemporal distribution of physiologically important metal ions such sodium and potassium. Potassium ions are vital for normal function of living organisms. The research reported here evaluates the emission intensity of the bovine serum albumin-stabilized red-emitting gold nanoclusters (BSA-rAuNCs) upon uptake of K+. The integrated sphere method was used to determine the absolute QYs and a custom-built fluorescence setup recorded the emission spectra of BSA-rAuNCs. Enhancement of emission intensity was observed upon increasing K+ concentration, within the physiological concentration range of 0 - 150 mM. The emission enhancement was correlated with the particle size and charge analysis. Aggregation of BSA-rAuNCs was found to be responsible for the observed emission enhancement. The QY of BSA-rAuNCs in bovine blood plasma was found to be four times lower than corresponding QY in water.

AbstractWe present a systematic numerical analysis of the quantum yield of an electric dipole coupled to a plasmonic nanoparticle. We observe that the yield is highly dependent on the distance between the electric dipole and the nanoparticle, the size and permittivity of the nanoparticle, and the wavelength of the incident radiation. Our results indicate that enhancement of the quantum yield is only possible for electric dipoles coupled to a nanoparticle with a radius of 20 nm or larger. As the size of the nanoparticle is increased, emission enhancement occurs at wavelengths dependent on the coupling distance.

An new overall lower energy pathway for the amine-catalysed Morita-Baylis-Hillman reaction is proposed from computations at the M06-2X/6-311++G(d,p) level. The pathway involves proton-transfer from the ammonium ion to the alkoxide formed from the aldol reaction through a seven-membered ring transition state (TS) structure followed by highly exothermic Hofmann<i> </i>elimination through a five-membered ring TS structure to form the product and also release the catalyst to carry on with the process all over again.
