Exploration of sensitive and selective fluorescence sensors towards toxic metal species is of great importance to solve metal pollution issues. In this work, a three-dimensional (3D) strontium coordination polymer of Sr(tcbpe) (Htcbpe = 1,1,2,2-tetrakis(4-(4-carboxy-phenyl)phenyl)ethene) has been synthesized and developed as a fluorescent sensor to Fe ions. Sr(tcbpe) shows a mechanochromic fluorescence with emission shifting from blue of the pristine to green after being ground. Notably, based on a fluorescence quenching mechanism, Sr(tcbpe) displays a sensitive and selective fluorescent sensing behavior to Fe ions with a detection limit of 0.14 mM. Moreover, Sr(tcbpe) exhibits high tolerance to water in a wide pH range (pH = 3-13), demonstrating that Sr(tcbpe) is a potential fluorescent sensor of Fe in water.

Ischemic stroke (IS) is a serious cerebrovascular disease. Due to its complex pathophysiological mechanisms and the limitation of drug delivery by the blood-brain barrier (BBB), current treatments for IS still struggle to achieve ideal outcomes. In this study, a multifunctional bimetallic phenolic network nanoparticle (Sr/Mn@Rh) formed via simple metal-phenolic coordination-driven self-assembly of Mn²⁺, Sr²⁺, and rutin hydrate (Rh) was developed for IS therapy.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a progressive joint disease that involves damage to the cartilage, inflammation in the synovium, and injury to the subchondral bone, which highlights the need for the creation of novel treatment options. Nevertheless, finding an effective method that combines anti-inflammatory properties with the ability to regenerate cartilage remains a significant challenge. TA@Sr is a bioactive coordination complex formed through chelation between tannic acid (TA) and strontium ions (Sr), exhibiting a hierarchically structured metal-phenolic network.

The surface chemical composition of supported single Pt-Rh core-shell nanoparticles was studied to understand the Rh behavior in oxidizing and reducing gas environments using spectro-microscopy with high spatial resolution. We combined X-ray photoemission electron microscopy with scanning electron-, atomic force-, and scanning Auger-microscopy to distinguish Rh oxidation-reduction, dewetting-sintering, and alloying-segregation during the course of the experiment. A more than 20% higher Rh 3d oxide to metal photoemission intensity ratio for the Rh layer on top of the Pt-core was found as compared to the bare strontium titanate (STO) oxide catalyst support in close vicinity, where Rh/RhO nanoparticles are forming.

The title mono-periodic coordination polymer, [Sr(NO)(CHNO)] , was synthesized from l-histidine and strontium nitrate. Crystallizing in the monoclinic space group 2, the structure features an Sr cation (site symmetry 2) coordinated by ten oxygen atoms from zwitterionic l-histidine ligands and nitrate anions, forming a distorted deca-hedral geometry with Sr-O bond lengths ranging from 2.645 (4) to 2.

Strontium isotope analysis is widely used to evaluate the provenance and mobility of biological specimens. Frequently applied in archaeology, palaeontology, ecology, forensics, and food science, strontium isotope analysis compares the Sr/Sr ratio of a specimen against a strontium isoscape - a representation of expected Sr/Sr ratios across a landscape - to identify areas that are more and/or less likely to be the source of the specimen. Strontium isoscapes are built using different methods, but all approaches start with empirical Sr/Sr ratios sampled from areas with known coordinates and use them to assign likely Sr/Sr ratios to unknown areas.
