Article Abstract
A tetranuclear gold(i) complex [Au(μ-PAnP)(μ-L)] (PAnP = 9,10-bis(diphenylphosphino)anthracene and L = benzene-1,2-dithiolate) has been synthesized and characterised by multinuclear NMR and X-ray crystallography. The molecule has a cyclophane-like structure which can be considered to be composed of two [Au(μ-PAnP)(μ-L)] units held together by Au-S bonds and aurophilic interactions (Au-Au = 3.0712(2) Å). L acts as a chelating and bridging ligand with one of its S atoms bonded to two Au ions as sulfonium ions and there are two AuS cores on each side of the cyclophane. A sulfur atom in each AuS core is a chiral sulfonium ion, being bonded to two chemically distinct Au ions. Two Au ions are bonded to four atoms (2S, P and Au) in an asymmetric environment, making them a rare example of gold(i)-centred chirality. The two AuS cores have R, R and S, S configurations, and the chiralities of the sulfonium ion and the gold ion are correlated. Variable-temperature NMR spectroscopy showed that the metallacyclophane undergoes rapid exchange in solution. A bond shift mechanism involving simultaneous cleavage and formation of Au-S bonds is proposed for the exchange.

Lung cancer, as one of the cancers with the highest morbidity and mortality rates in the world, requires accurate detection of its vital serum marker, neuron-specific enolase (NSE), which is a key challenge for early detection of lung cancer. However, traditional chemiluminescence immunoassay (CLIA) methods rely on labeled antibodies (Abs) and suffer from complex operations and high costs. In this work, a label-free CLIA based on CL-functionalized mesoporous magnetic nanoparticles (CuFeO@mSiO-Cys-Luminol-Au NPs) is developed for the rapid and sensitive detection of NSE.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) serves as a crucial biomarker for early cancer diagnosis, and dual-target miRNA detection significantly enhances diagnostic accuracy. However, the uncontrollable uniformity of multi-capture probe modifications, limited electrode sites, and high sample consumption restrict the advancement of electrochemical biosensors in clinical diagnostics. In this work, an integrated microdroplet chip electrochemical biosensor has been ingeniously developed, including TiO nanorods modified by Au nanoparticles vertically arranged on the FTO as the working electrode, which exhibits high electron transfer efficiency and abundant anchoring sites for capture probes; A Y-shaped probe was designed with one end immobilized via Au-S covalent bonding while the two free arms enabled simultaneous dual-target miRNA recognition; By employing Au/TiO-FTO as both the substrate for a custom micro-detection chamber and the working electrode, coupled with catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA), the sensor achieves ultrahigh-precision trace-level detection of dual miRNAs.

The clinical translation of exosome-based diagnostics and therapies is hindered by significant molecular heterogeneity. Current exosome phenotyping methods suffer from insufficient sensitivity, limited multiplexing capability, and poor scalability. To address these challenges, we developed a digital wafer-level micropillar array (WLM-Exo) platform.

Amide bonds are most frequently utilized to form the bioconjugates of nanoclusters (NCs) and biomolecules; however, the amide bonds involved in the bioconjugation process tend to dramatically alter the functional group of NCs, decrease storage stability, and eventually block their practical bioapplication. With -acetyl-l-cysteine (NAC)-capped AuNCs (NAC-AuNCs) as a model, we propose a biocompatible electrochemiluminescence (ECL) luminophore with thiol as a stabilizer and bioconjugate anchor. The NAC-AuNCs can exhibit a solely oxidative-reduction ECL process around +0.
