A Remarkable Fluorescence Quenching Based Amplification in ATP Detection through Signal Transduction in Self-Assembled Multivalent Aggregates

Signal transduction is essential for the survival of living organisms, because it allows them to respond to the changes in external environments. In artificial systems, signal transduction has been exploited for the highly sensitive detection of analytes. Herein, a remarkable signal transduction, upon ATP binding, in the multivalent fibrillar nanoaggregates of anthracene conjugated imidazolium receptors is reported. The aggregates of one particular amphiphilic receptor sensed ATP in high pm concentrations with one ATP molecule essentially quenching the emission of thousands of receptors. A cooperative merging of the multivalent binding and signal transduction led to this superquenching and translated to an outstanding enhancement of more than a millionfold in the sensitivity of ATP detection by the nanoaggregates; in comparison to the “molecular” imidazolium receptors. Furthermore, an exceptional selectivity to ATP over other nucleotides was demonstrated.

Aerobic C(sp2)-H Hydroxylations of 2-Aryloxazolines: Fast Access to Excited-State Intramolecular Proton Transfer (ESIPT)-Based Luminophores

The direct hydroxylation of 2-aryloxazolines via a deprotonative magnesiation using TMPMgCl·LiCl and subsequent oxidation with molecular oxygen or air as a green oxidant is reported. This method proceeds under mild conditions at room temperature with high regioselectivity and chemoselectivity. The obtained phenols exhibit tunable luminescence properties, induced by excited-state intramolecular proton transfer. This method opens a new opportunity for the sustainable synthesis of luminescent organic molecules.

A first synthesis and physical properties of asymmetric anthracenes-thiophenes bridged with ethylene

Here we report our recent result of a new semiconductor material, which has an asymmetric structure. The synthesized molecules consist of anthracene and thiophene connected by bridged ethylene and substituted with hexyl or dodecyl groups as pendants. The semiconductors were synthesized using a McMurry coupling reaction between anthracene-2-carbaldehyde and corresponding 5-hexyl(or dodecyl)thiophene-2-carbaldehyde. A first investigation of synthesized asymmetry AVHT (9a) and AVDT (9b) for the physical properties showed that they have high oxidation potential and thermal stability. The devices prepared by using AVHT (9a) and AVDT (9b) showed the mobility of 2.6 × 10-2 cm 2/Vs and 4.4 × 10-3 cm2/Vs, respectively, in solution processed OTFTs.
