Thermal equilibria between conformers enable highly reliable single-fluorophore ratiometric thermometers

Abstract

Fluorescent thermometers based on organic dyes play an important role in the visualization of dynamic temperature topography with high resolution. Many molecular thermometers contain two fluorophores with different temperature responses...

Fluorescence Thermometers Involving Two Ranges of Temperature: Coordination Polymer and DMSP Embedding

“…Temperature is the most common physical quantity in life, thus it is very important for fast and accurate determination of temperature in life and industry. − Conventional thermometers, which rely on various temperature-related physical properties to measure temperature, have the disadvantage of not being able to measure temperature in specific environments (moving objects, high voltage and large current, strong electromagnetic field interference, ultralow temperature, biological fluids, etc. ). − Therefore, various thermosensitive luminescent materials have been developed for noncontact temperature sensing, including organic dyes, , quantum dots, , polymers, − organic–inorganic hybrids, − and rare earth doped materials. − Among them, luminescent coordination polymers (CPs) take the advantages of designability, high sensitivity, and excellent anti-interference, , showing great potential in temperature sensing. ,, …”

“…I remember the moment all the members of my research group cheered for me when my first manuscript was accepted in the Journal of Physical Chemistry B , 1 which was a significant milestone in my academic career. I remember on the day I turned 25, my second article was published in Analyst , 2 which was the best birthday present for me. I also remember the applause from the audience after I presented my pedagogical work at the 2023 ACS Spring Meeting, which was my first experience participating in such a prestigious international conference.…”
