Dual sites fluorescence probe for H2S and Hg2+ with “AIE transformers” function

Ligand Energy Staff Gauge for Antenna Effect Study within Metal–Organic Frameworks

“…AIEgens are often emphasized and applied with their enhanced emission upon aggregation in a bad solvent or solid state previously. , In fact, the disclosure of their optical behaviors is still interesting as their optical behaviors are related to the conjugation states of AIEgens. We first investigated the fluorescence property of L1 in the water/THF system.…”

An “AIE + ESIPT” mechanism-based benzothiazole-derived fluorescent probe for the detection of Hg2+and its applications

“…Mercury ion (Hg 2+ ), as one of the most common heavy metal ion contaminants, [1][2][3][4] has been widely employed in industrial production and the preparation of electronic devices, inevitably posing a serious threat to the natural environment and human health. 5,6 Hg 2+ in air, water, and soil could enter readily into human bodies through the food chain, [7][8][9] leading to a devastating effect on human health such as kidney tissue damage and central nervous system disorders associated with the Minamata incident that occurred in Japan due to mercury-contaminated seafood.…”

Novel 2-Benzo[d]thiazolyl-4-quinolinylphenol Skeleton-Based Turn-on Fluorescent Probe for H2S Detection and its Multiple Applications in Water Environment, Foodstuffs, and Living Organisms

“…For instance, the methylene blue method has a low detection sensitivity at the micromolar level. The fluorescent probe detection tool has obtained huge development thanks to its manifold advantages including high sensitivity, specific selectivity, low expenses, in situ and fast detection, robust compatibility, and scalability. − These advantages make the fluorescent probe method a hotspot field, and copious fluorescent chemosensors have also been developed for sensitively detecting specific analytes in vitro and vivo , food samples, and water environment. − These fluorescent probes often were designed based on the traditional fluorophores, such as coumarin, NBD, 1,8-naphthalimide, cyanine, pyrene, xanthene, etc. − To some degree, there were some developed fluorescent probes still existing a few drawbacks, such as using large amounts of organic solvents to realize the required emission signal, poor anti-interference ability and selectivity from other sulfur-containing analytes, requiring complicated operating procedures, and low synthesis productivity. − Therefore, to address the limitations enumerated above, it is vital and promising to develop novel small molecular fluorescent probes for specifically and on-the-spot monitoring of H 2 S in aqueous media …”
