The bulky tetraphenylethylene groups were attached at the periphery of the thieno-[3,4-b]-pyrazine core to form the non-planar molecules, as efficient solid- state emitting materials. The peripheral groups were grafted to the emissive core through either a conjugated acetylene bond, or a non-conjugated ether bond. These molecules exhibit strnng red fluorescence in both dilute solutions and in thin films with large Stokes shifts of over 100 nm. The cyclic voltammetry measurements showed the reversible oxidation and reduction behavior for both compounds. All these properties indicate the two compounds are possible functional materials for use in ontoelectronic devices.展开更多

However, it remains highly challenging to develop a versatile methodology for constructing highly emissive metallacycles with targeted functionalities and therefore soughtafter properties. Herein, we report a general strategy to construct a series of highly emissive perylene diimide-based metallacycles via the self-assembly of perylene diimide-based tetrapyridyl ligand with different dicarboxylic ligands featuring fixed angles and cis-Pt(PEt_(3))_(2)(OTf)_(2). Single crystal X-ray diffraction analyses verify the formation of bowtie-like metallacycles with two triangular cavities. Notably, the fluorescence quantum yields of most assemblies exceed 98%, amongst the highest values for metallacycles.Additionally, such metallacycles exhibit sensitive fluorescence responses toward picric acid with a detection limit of 2.8 × 10^(-6)mol/L. This study not only provides a rational strategy for preparing highly emissive bowtie-shaped metallacycles, but also sheds light on their usage in the detection of picric acid and associated compounds.展开更多

文摘Latent fingerprints are extremely vital for personal identification and criminalinvestigation,and potential information recognition techniques have been widelyused in the fields of information and communication electronics.Although physicalpowder dusting methods have been frequently employed to develop latent fingerprintsand most of them are carried out by using single component powders ofmicron-sized fluorescent particles,magnetic powders,or metal particles,there isstill an enormous challenge in producing high-resolution image of latent fingerprintsat different backgrounds or substrates.Herein,a novel and effectivenanoimpregnation method is developed to synthesize bifunctional magnetic fluorescentmesoporous microspheres for latent fingerprints visualization by growthof mesoporous silica(mesoSiO_(2))on magical Fe_(3)O_(4) core and then deposition offluorescent YVO4:Eu^(3+)nanoparticles in the mesopores.The obtainedFe_(3)O_(4)@mesoSiO_(2)@YVO4:Eu^(3+)microspheres possess spatially isolated magneticcore and fluorescent shell which were insulated by mesoporous silica layer.Dueto their small particle size of submicrometer scale,high magnetization and lowmagnetic remanence as well as the combined magnetic and fluorescent properties,the microspheres show superior performance in visual latent fingerprint recognitionwith high contrast,high anti-interference,and sensitivity as well as goodretention on multifarious substrates regardless of surface permeability,roughness,refraction,colorfulness,and background fluorescence interference,and it makesthem ideal candidates for practical application in fingerprint visualization andeven magneto-optic information storage.

文摘Dynamic fluorescent materials play a crucial role in secure inks for data encryption;however,they are still plagued by issues such as photodegradation,poor latency,and susceptibility to unauthorized access.Herein,we propose a photochemically modulated dynamic fluorescent encryption system based on^(1)O_(2)sensitization of fluorescent composites,comprising a^(1)O_(2)-sensitive fluorophore(F2)and non-emissive polymers.After UV irradiation,in-situ generated^(1)O_(2)from the polymer effectively binds with F2 to form endoperoxides(F2EPO),resulting in a significant redshift in emission,up to 150 nm.The^(1)O_(2)concentration is closely related to the irradiation time,rendering different fluorescent colors in a time-gated fashion.Moreover,the emission of F2EPO can be regulated by polymer chemical structure,molecular weight,and crosslinking density.Relying on these merits,we develop a dynamic data encryption method with various non-emissive polymers as the data storage media,UV light irradiation as the data encoder,and F2 as the data decoder.UV light irradiation of diverse polymer solutions generates^(1)O_(2)at different concentrations,effectively encoding the data,which remains invisible under both UV and natural lights.The addition of F2 to these irradiated polymer solutions produces different redshifted fluorescence,enabling secure data decryption.Attributing to the non-emissive nature of the polymers,time-gated readout fashion,excellent latency of^(1)O_(2),and subtle interactions between^(1)O_(2)and F2,this data encryption is nearly undecipherable.This work offers an advantage data encryption approach beyond the reach of conventional fluorophores.

文摘It is attractive and encouraging to develop new fluorescent carbon dots(CDs)with excellent optical properties and promising applications prospects.Herein,highly-efficient green emissive CDs(m-CDs)with a high quantum yield(QY)of 71.7%in water are prepared through a facile solvothermal method.Interestingly,the m-CDs exhibit excellent fluorescence stability in the pH range of 1–9.However,the fluorescence intensity of the m-CDs is almost completely quenched as the pH is increased from 9 to 10.The mechanism of the unique pH-responsive behavior is discussed in detail and a plausible mechanism is proposed.Owing to the unique pH-responsive behavior,the m-CDs are used as a on-off fluorescent probe for water quality identification.By combining the reversible pH-ultrasensitive optical properties of the m-CDs in the pH range of 9–10 with the glucose oxidase-mimicking(GOx-mimicking)ability of Au nanoparticles(AuNPs),glucose can be quantitatively detected.Finally,two environment-friendly starch-based solid-state fluorescence materials(powder and film)are developed through green preparation routes.

文摘Chirality is an important natural characteristic of organic molecules,and chiral organic molecules have shown extensive application in areas such as pharmaceutical development and material science.Benefiting from the ability to achieve circularly polarized luminescence(CPL),chiral luminescent materials have shown potential applications in anti-glare display,optical communication and,3D display,etc.Due to the ability to harvest both singlet and triplet excitons by a fast reverse intersystem crossing process without involving noble metals,chiral thermally activated delayed fluorescence(TADF)materials with point chirality,axial chirality,planar chirality and helical chirality are regarded as the state-of-the-art materials for circularly polarized organic light-emitting diodes(CP-OLEDs).In recent years,the chiral TADF materials and CP-OLEDs have rapidly developed,but unfortunately,the dissymmetry factors(g)are far from the requirement of practical applications.The ideal emitters and devices should have both high efficiency and a g factor,or at least a balance between these two elements.This review gives an overview of recent progress in chiral TADF materials,with a particular focus on the chiral skeleton,CPL property and device performance.Furthermore,the molecular design concept,device structure and methods to improve the g factors of chiral materials and CP-OLEDs are also discussed.

文摘A new fluorescent fingerprint powder(DFF-MMT)was formulated by blending cyclic chalcone dye DFF with montmorillonite(MMT),which can develop latent fingerprints(LFPs)with exceptional resolution and contrast on various surfaces,including ordinary glass,tin foil,marble,LED screens,and materials with distinct colors and fluorescent backgrounds.The fluorescence of DFF-MMT transforms from orange to bright yellow with LFPs,allowing for a flawless visualization of fingerprints on uneven surfaces or materials with static electricity.Impressively,fingerprints developed by DFF-MMT can be stored for over 21 months and conveniently duplicated.The developed LFPs by DFF-MMT still keep high quality under the influence of aquatic condition,illumination and thermal effects.DFF-MMT also exhibits benefits,such as affordability,real-time,high-resolution,high-contrast development and no damage to DNA,making it an ideal choice for sophisticated criminal investigations.
