Crystallization‐Induced Emission Enhancement of a Deep‐Blue Luminescence Material with Tunable Mechano‐ and Thermochromism

Organic luminescent materials with the ability to reversibly switch the luminescence when subjected to external stimuli have attracted considerable interest in recent years. However, the examples of luminescent materials that exhibit multiresponsive properties are rarely reported. In this work, a new stimuli‐responsive dye P1 is designed and synthesized with two identical chromophores of naphthalimide, one at each side of an amidoamine‐based spacer. This amide‐rich molecule offers many possibilities for forming intra‐ and intermolecular hydrogen bond interactions. Particularly, P1 has an intrinsic property of cocrystallizing with methanol. Compared with the pristine P1 sample, the as‐prepared two‐component cocrystalline material displays an exceptive deep‐blue emission, which is extremely rare among naphthalimide‐based molecules in the solid state. Furthermore, the target material exhibits an obvious mechanochromic fluorescent behavior and a large spectral shift under force stimuli. On the other hand, the cocrystalline material shows an unusual “turn off” thermochromic luminescence accompanied by solvent evaporation. Moreover, using external stimuli to reversibly manipulate fluorescent quantum yields is rarely reported to date. The results demonstrate the feasibility of a new design strategy for solid‐state luminescence switching materials: the incorporation of solvents into organic compounds by cocrystallization to obtain a crystalline state luminescence system.

Study of polymer‐network structure on polymer‐stabilized blue phase

Abstract— To understand the mechanism of the disclination defect of the liquid‐crystal (LC) phase, this study was conducted to directly analyze the polymer‐network (PN) structure of polymer‐stabilized blue phase (PSBP), which is minutely formed on all LC layers. The PN was examined after first removing the glass decap and then the LC. Important to note is that the removal of the glass decap did not affect or damage the PN structure. The PN was determined to be a stable structure without any change to the thickness of the layer. When removing the LC, both hexane and acetone solutions were used. Moreover, there was no structural deformation to the PN when using the hexane solution. The results of the study show that the actual size of the polymer chain is in fact 50–60 nm, five times larger than previous theories which estimated the size to be only 10 nm. In addition, this study confirmed that the pores between the PN are 100–200 nm. The PN structure was shown to be susceptible to change based on different heating temperatures. In summation, now that defect lines of a LC display (LCD) could be directly measured, further progress and development in the theoretical interpretations of the Kerr effect on PSBP can be realized.     

Poly(brilliant cresyl blue) electrogenerated on single-walled carbon nanotubes modified electrode and its application in mediated biosensing system

Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) functionalized with carboxylic acid groups were cast to glassy carbon electrode (GCE) to construct a three-dimensional nano-micro structured scaffold. Brilliant cresyl blue (BCB) was electropolymerized on the above-mentioned SWCNTs/GCE using continuous cycling between −0.7 and 0.9 V vs. SCE. PolyBCB yielded on SWCNTs/GCE exhibited the enhanced electrochemical redox behavior compared with that electrogenerated on bare GCE. The apparent surface coverage of PolyBCB obtained by SWCNTs/GCE was at least 10 times higher than that obtained by bare GCE, namely 4.8 × 10⁻⁹ and 3.6 × 10⁻¹⁰ mol cm⁻². The cyclic voltammograms recorded by PolyBCB/SWCNTs/GCE exhibited well-defined two peaks located at −0.25 V and −0.06 V, respectively, with a surface-controlled mechanism. In addition, morphologies of PolyBCB electrogenerated on GCE and SWCNTS/GCE were characterized by atomic force microscopy. Finally, this proposed PolyBCB/SWCNTs/GCE was used in the construction of the second-generation biosensors to hydrogen peroxide and glucose, with the enhanced analytical performance.     

Label-free electrochemical immunosensor for sensitive detection of kanamycin

A novel label-free electrochemical immunosensor for sensitive detection of kanamycin based on water-soluble graphene sheet (WGS)/prussian blue-chitosan (PB-CTS)/nanoporous gold (NPG) composited film has been reported. PB was selected as an electron transfer mediator, and was modified onto the electrode together with WGS through electrostatic adsorption. Then NPG was immobilized onto the as-prepared film for biomolecules anchoring. The electroactivity of PB was greatly enhanced in the presence of WGS and NPG. It could mainly be ascribed to the fact that the good conductivity of WGS and NPG promoted electron transfer and enhanced the sensitivity. kanamycin antibody, as a model, was immobilized onto the composite film for the detection of kanamycin. Under optimum conditions, the amperometric signal of PB decreased linearly with kanamycin concentration (0.02-14 ng mL⁻¹), a linear calibration plot (y = 1.3817 + 4.7544x, r = 0.9993), resulting in a low limit of detection (6.31 pg mL⁻¹). The novel immunosensor for the detection of kanamycin in real sample with satisfactory results has been proved. In addition, this method would be easily adapted for the detection of other residual antibiotics in animal derived foods.     

A dual K-Na selective Prussian blue nanotubes sensor

A strategy for dual sensing of Na⁺ and K⁺ ions using Prussian blue nanotubes via selective inter/deintercalation of K⁺ ion and competitive inhibition by Na⁺ ion, is reported. The analytical signal is derived from the cyclic voltammetry cathodic peak position E_pc of Prussian blue nanotubes. Na⁺ and K⁺ levels in a sample solution can be determined conveniently using one Prussian blue nanotubes sensor. In addition, this versatile method can be applied for the analysis of single type of either Na⁺ or K⁺ ions. The dual-ion sensor response towards Na⁺ and K⁺ can be described using a model based on the competitive inhibition effects of Na⁺ on K⁺ inter/deintercalation in Prussian blue nanotubes. Successful application of the Prussian blue nanotubes sensor for Na⁺ and K⁺ determination is demonstrated in artificial saliva.
