In Vivo Chemoselective Photoacoustic Imaging of Copper(II) in Plant and Animal Subjects
摘要: The detection of Cu2+ in living plants and animals is of great importance for environment monitoring and disease diagnosis. Here, a near-infrared (NIR) turn-on photoacoustic (PA) probe (denoted as LET-2) is developed for Cu2+ detection in living subjects, such as soybean sprouts and mice. The absorbance band of LET-2 shifts from 625 to 715 nm after the interaction with Cu2+, thus producing strong PA signal output at 715 nm (PA715) as an indicator. The PA715 value is increased as a function of the concentration of Cu2+ (0 × 10?6–20 × 10?6 m), with a calculated limit of detection of 10.8 × 10?9 m. More importantly, both in vitro and in vivo studies in soybean sprouts and mice indicate that the as-prepared LET-2 PA probe is highly sensitive and selective for Cu2+ detection. These findings provide a solution for in vivo detection of metal ions by using chemoselective PA probes.

Ionic Self-Assembled Luminescent Nanospheres from Cationic Polyelectrolyte and Eu-Containing Polyoxometalate
摘要: Using the ionic self-assembly (ISA) strategy to combine Eu-containing polyoxometalates (Eu-POMs) and organic molecules mainly through noncovalent electrostatic interactions can protect Eu-POMs from solvent quenching of luminescence and enhance their processability. For this reason, a cationic polyelectrolyte, branched polyethyleneimine (PEI), and a Eu-POM, Na9(EuW10O36)·32H2O (EuW10), were used here to construct luminescence-enhanced spherical aggregates with diameters ranging from 50 to 200 nm. At a fixed concentration of EuW10, the phase behavior and luminescence properties of the mixture could be modulated by the PEI concentration. Such ISA-induced aggregates could effectively shield water molecules and result in better photophysical properties. Compared to bare EuW10, the absolute quantum yield and lifetime of luminescence for aggregates increased 10 and 5 times, respectively. Meanwhile, the sensitivity of the EuW10 coordination structure to the environment made it possible for obtained aggregates being used to detect either copper cations or permanganate anions due to their strong specific quenching effects to luminescence. Such a new type of luminescent soft material not only provided a reference for exploring the luminescence enhancement mechanism of lanthanide through self-assembly in aqueous solution but also exhibited potential in detection by luminescence analysis.
