Artificial light-harvesting nanoparticles based on a tripodal fluorescence sensor mediated by multiple luminescence mechanisms

A tripodal sensor based on TPE was designed and synthesized. The compound with sensing ability can be constructed as nanoparticles in aqueous media, which have outstanding fluorescence properties mediated by the ESIPT–AIE–FRET triple mechanism.

A Zn-MOF functionalized with alkyne groups: ultrasensitive detection of Cu+ and Pd2+ ions in aqueous medium

An alkyne-functionalized Zn-MOF functions as an ultrasensitive chemosensor for the detection of Cu+ and Pd2+ ions. The emission quenching is attributed to FRET due to the interaction of alkyne–π bonds with the d-orbitals of soft Cu+ and Pd2+ ions.
