Article Abstract
The direction synthesis of biofunctional nanomaterials with DNA as the template is of high application value. By using phosphorothioate-thymine single-stranded DNA (PS-T-ssDNA) as the template and through synthetic conditions optimization, novel low-toxicity and environment-friendly ssDNA-functionalized room-temperature phosphorescent quantum dots (PS-T-ssDNA RTP QDs) were prepared at low temperature (37 °C). Then, the quantitative RTP-based mercury(II) (Hg) detection was achieved by utilizing the specific identifying ability of T-base-pair Hg (T-Hg-T) and its photoinduced electron transfer. This RTP sensor in Hg detection had a linear range of 0.02 to 0.8 μM and a detection limit of 4.8 nM. The dependence on RTP of QDs effectively avoids interference from background fluorescence and scattering light in the environment or biological samples. This sensor also possessed an RTP stability and a long service life and did not require sample pretreatment. Thus this sensor is suitable for environmental and quantitative Hg detection in biological samples.

The construction of polymer-based photoactivated room-temperature phosphorescence systems remains a prominent research focus, yet the development of ultrafast activated systems under ambient conditions continues to pose a challenge. In this study, cyclized phenothiazine derivatives bearing diverse substituents are synthesized and incorporated into an amorphous polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) matrix, resulting in significantly enhanced dynamic photoactivation characteristics compared with those of their pristine monomeric counterparts. Under ambient conditions and 2 s irradiation, the lifetime and quantum yield of C[4]PTZ-OH@PVA increase by factors of 1.

The coordination chemistry of the planar, doubly π-extended bipyridine analog, 6,6',7,7'-biphenanthridine (p-biphe), is presented. The phenanthridine units in p-biphe are fused together at the 6- and 7- positions, and the resulting rigid ligand is compared with the more flexible parent "biphe" fused only at the 6-positions. p-Biphe is intensely fluorescent in solution with a much higher quantum yield, but, unlike biphe, at 77 K the fluorescence is not accompanied by any significant phosphorescence.

BN-fused aromatic compounds have garnered significant attention due to their unique electronic structures and exceptional photophysical properties, positioning them as highly promising candidates for applications in organic optoelectronics. However, the regioselective synthesis of BN isomers remains a formidable challenge, primarily stemming from the difficulty in precisely controlling reaction sites, limiting structural diversity and property tunability. Herein, we propose a regioselective synthetic strategy that employs 2,1-BN-naphthalene derivatives, wherein selective activation of N-H and C-H bonds is achieved in conjunction with -halogenated phenylboronic acids.

Liquid is the most flexible state of condensed matter and shows promise as a functional soft material. However, these same characteristics make it challenging to achieve efficient room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) from metal-free organic molecular liquids. Herein, we report efficient RTP from liquefied thienyl diketones bearing one or two dimethyloctylsilyl (DMOS) substituents.

Circularly polarized room-temperature phosphorescent (CP-RTP) materials have been attracting great attention due to their potential applications in anticounterfeiting. In this study, we designed and synthesized a host-guest copolymer () with strong phosphorescence emission and a long emission lifetime using a self-doping strategy. The co-assembled liquid crystal polymer networks / doped with demonstrated a stronger RTP emission and longer lifetime (τ = 148 ms).
