A novel, sensitive, and selective fluorescence sensor based on N-doped Mo oxide quantum dots (N-MoOx QDs) was fabricated for the detection of Cu ions in water. The presence of Cu induced dynamic fluorescence quenching of the N-MoOx QDs. The sensing conditions were optimized to enhance selectivity and sensitivity. Under optimal conditions, the linear relationship between fluorescence response at 408 nm and Cu concentration was determined. The linear range of this relationship was 1-100 μM. The limits of detection (LOD) and quantitation (LOQ) for Cu were 0.78 μM and 2.34 μM, respectively. The method was successfully applied to detect Cu in water samples with satisfactory sample recovery rates from 91.7 to 116.4%. The sensor exhibits high selectivity toward Cu, making it useful for environmental sample monitoring.

A novel aggregation-induced emission (AIE) system with superior performance was successfully developed through local chemical modification from thiophene to thiophene sulfone. This approach, leveraging easily accessible tetraphenylthiophene precursors, dramatically enhances the photophysical properties in a simple oxidation step. Notably, the representative 2,3,4,5-tetraphenylthiophene sulfone (3c) demonstrates remarkable solid-state emission characteristics with a fluorescence quantum yield of 72% and an AIE factor of 240, substantially outperforming its thiophene analog.

In recent years, fluorescence-switchable molecules have garnered significant attention as fluorescent dyes for super-resolution fluorescence microscopy, which is increasingly demanded in the field of biochemical imaging. Among such molecules, diarylethene-S,S,S',S'-tetraoxide derivatives have proven particularly promising due to their ability to achieve high contrast fluorescence switching. Diarylethenes incorporating perfluorocyclopentene as the ethene bridge have become the standard scaffold due to their excellent fatigue resistance and thermal stability.

Nitrogenase accumulates reducing equivalents in hydrides and couples H elimination to the reductive binding of N at a di-iron edge of its FeMo cofactor (FeMoco). Here, we describe that oxidation of a pyrazolato-based dinickel(II) dihydride complex K[L(Ni-H)] (), either electrochemically or chemically using H or ferrocenium, triggers H elimination and binding of N in a constrained and extremely bent bridging mode in [LNi(μ-N)] (). Spectroscopic and computational evidence indicate that the electronic structure of is best described as Ni-(N)-Ni, with a rare 1e reduced and significantly activated N substrate ( = 1894 cm).

Facing the massive energy consumption of over 200 TWh y of chlor-alkali industry, developing high-activity and durable non-precious CER (chlorine evolution reaction) catalysts is urgently needed to address the high overpotentials and suppress the dissolution high-valance metal species. Herein, a carbon quantum dots functionalized trimetallic Fe/Co/Ni spinel oxide nanotube architecture (FCNO@CQDs) is constructed, featuring t-to-π* π-backbonding for dramatically enhanced CER activity and stability. The reverse electron flow from Co d-obritals to the vacant CQDs' π* orbitals can upshift the d-band center for enhanced intermediate adsorption, while stabilizing high-valent Co centers via increased bond order.
