Article Abstract

A novel pH-, viscosity-, and photo-sensitive polymorphic fluorescence probe NHP for sensing Co has been developed. The hydrazone-based NHP can be synthesized by only one step of reflux reaction and purified by washing with poor solvents. Three single crystals of NHP-1, NHP-2, and NHP-3 with different conformations were resolved. As a photo acid generator (PAG), the hydrogen atom on the imino group of the probe NHP can be shed with 365 nm ultraviolet (UV) light illumination or in alkaline conditions. Due to the above two conditions, the negatively charged ligand obtained after dehydrogenation of NHP can accelerate its chelation with Co. When irradiated with 365 nm UV light, the product (NHP-Co (I)) of NHP chelating with Co appears yellowish in aqueous solution. In a strong alkali aqueous solution, the chelate product (NHP-Co (II)) of NHP and Co showed bright blue-green fluorescence. The formed divalent Co(II) complex NHP-Co can be oxidized to trivalent Co(III) complex NHP-Co, as confirmed by the resolution of single crystals of NHP-Co.

Narrow electrochemical windows and high reactivity of aqueous solutions remain critical bottlenecks for the practical application of aqueous batteries. However, the mechanisms for tuning microscopic reactivity of HO molecules in aqueous electrolytes remain elusive. This study employs six ether molecules with distinct structures and solvation powers to regulate the microstructure of aqueous solutions.

Microbial contamination of absorbable collagen membranes used in guided bone regeneration (GBR) may compromise healing outcomes. This study aimed to investigate whether the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of hydrogen peroxide (HO) can improve the antibacterial effect of indocyanine green (ICG)-mediated antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (PDT) on absorbable collagen membranes while reducing the need for high HO concentrations. A laboratory-based model was developed using Streptococcus sanguinis and Staphylococcus aureus.

Photoelectron angular distributions are reported for a series of aqueous potassium carboxylate solutions, ranging from bulk-solvated to strongly surface-active species. The quantitative information determined from this work demonstrates how the measured photoelectron angular distributions are influenced by the ions' increasing propensity for the surface in aqueous solutions. Our study provides insight into the relative depth and location of the carboxylate functional group, which is valuable for investigating the adsorption of organic molecules at liquid-vapor interfaces.

Effective removal of trace heavy metal ions from aqueous bodies is a pressing problem and requires significant improvement in the area of absorbent material in terms of removal efficiency and sustainability. We propose an efficient strategy to enhance the adsorption efficiency of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) by growing dendrimers on their surface. First, CNTs were pre-functionalized with maleic acid (MA) via Diels-Alder reaction in presence of a deep eutectic solvent under ultrasonication.
