The study demonstrates the influence of ethanol as a stabilizer in chloroform on the thermal cis-trans isomerization kinetics of photochromic compounds based on azobenzene and azopyridine derivatives. The significance of the addition of ethanol as a stabilizer in chloroform-based solutions on the isomerization reaction of the hydroxy- and the 6-hydroxylalkoxy-substituted azo compounds was investigated. The results have revealed that the presence of a polar stabilizer in a solvent can significantly reduce the reaction rate constant of the dark cis-trans isomerization due to the formation of hydrogen bonds at both ends of the azo-chromophore, thereby inhibiting the isomerization. Furthermore, a stabilizer can facilitate the reversion of azo-hydrazone tautomers of azophenols to their azobenzene form, resulting in a decrease in the reaction rate constant. The research presented in this paper can be essential for scientists who study the kinetics of the trans-cis and the cis-trans isomerization reactions of azo-chromophores. The results show that the use of solvents with polar stabilizers should be rather avoided, as their usage without information about stabilizers can lead to different experimental data. The authors should ensure that detailed information about stabilizers used in unstable solvents is included in the experimental section of their works (a detail currently often omitted in the literature).

New ferrocenyl-2-pyrimidinium solvatochromic conjugates were synthesized and their solvatochromic inverted behavior was compared to that of ferrocenyl-4-pyrimidinium dyes. These results were rationalized using EPR spectroscopy, multiparametric studies, density functional theory (DFT) calculations, and Monte Carlo simulations. The present work illustrates how a change in the orientation of the donor/acceptor pair in ferrocene-based dyes controls the solvatochromic shift ranges and inversion points, providing a new tool for the future design of ferrocenyl push-pull dyes with controlled polarity-sensing capabilities

To investigate the relationship between N-acetoxyethyl group and dyeing properties of disperse dyes in D5 non-aqueous medium dyeing system, the adsorption and diffusion behaviors of three disperse dyes with different structures were studied by molecular dynamics (MD). The diffusion coefficients, the planar distribution densities of dyes in different directions, and the intermolecular interaction energies were calculated. Molecular dynamics simulation (MD) was used to calculate molecules polarity index (MPI). Meanwhile, the practical dyeing experiments also were investigated to compare with simulated results. The results showed that the adsorption and diffusion behavior of disperse dyes with different structures were significantly different. Compared with dye B257, D-1 and D-2 are more easily adsorbed and diffused into the interior of the fiber because of the introduction of polar acetoxyethyl group. Moreover, the diffusion coefficient of D-2 in the fiber was relatively low, indicating that the combination between dye and polyester fiber was stable. XY plane distribution density and MPI revealed that the introduction of acetoxyethyl was beneficial to increase the adsorption amount of dye on the fiber, which was mainly related to the high binding energy between dye molecule and polyester fiber. The results of dyeing experiments showed that the decreased solubility of disperse dyes in the D5 medium was conducive to improving the dyeing rate of disperse dyes. This was consistent with the simulated interaction between dyes and D5. This study will provide a basis for further rapid and accurate development and selection of disperse dyes with high dyeing rate in non-aqueous medium systems.

Two organic photosensitizers based on resonance energy transfer (A-1 and A-2) are prepared. Naphthalenediimides was used as intramolecular energy donor and iodo-aza-Bodipy was used as intramolecular energy acceptor/spin converter. A-1 (ε = 42,800 at 618 nm and ε = 59,600 at 674 nm) and A-2 (ε = 33,300 at 514 nm and ε = 68,300 at 674 nm) give the two strong absorption band and both of them show broadband absorption in visible region. The photophysical properties of the compounds were studied with steady state and time-resolved spectroscopy in detail. With steady state and time-resolved spectroscopy, we found that photoexcitation into the energy donor was followed by singlet energy transfer, then via the intersystem crossing (ISC) of the energy acceptor. By nanosecond time-resolved transient absorption spectroscopy and DFT calculation, triplet excited state is localized on the iodo-aza-Bodipy moiety. Quantum yield of singlet oxygen of A-1 and A-2 is 39.7 % and 40.9 %, respectively. Based on fluorescence lifetime quenching, the efficiency of intramolecular energy transfer is estimated to be 15.9 % and 27.7 % for A-1 and A-2. And PET is responsible for the relatively low efficiency, which is identified by the calculation of kcs/kFRET and the Gibbs free energy change (△G0cs). A-1 and A-2 were used for singlet oxygen (1O2) mediated photooxidation of 1,5-dihydroxylnaphthalene and the photosensitizing ability are more efficient than the triplet photosensitizers with the mono-chromophore photosensitizer.

With the aim to design and synthesize cyclometalated Ir(III) complexes with near-infrared (NIR) emission, a series of ppy-type ligands with fluoranthene unit have been synthesized bearing different aromatic nitrogen heterocycles of isoquinoline, quinoline, pyridine and benzo [d]thiazole. With these organic ligands, four [Ir (ppy)2 (acac)] complexes are prepared named as IrFTIQ, IrFTQL, IrFTPY and IrFTBZ. In solution, IrFTIQ can emit NIR phosphorescence at 738 nm, while IrFTQL (ca. 692 nm), IrFTPY (ca. 670 nm) and IrFTBZ (ca. 690 nm) are typical deep-red emitters. It should be noted that all these fluoranthene-based cyclometalated Ir(III) complexes show good electrochemical stability indicated by their reversible redox procedures. When doped in the emission layer of OLEDs, IrFTIQ and IrFTBZ can furnish NIR electroluminescence (EL) at 748 nm and 700 nm, respectively, while the devices with IrFTPY as emitter can furnish deep-red EL. Critically, the optimized OLED doped with IrFTIQ can achieve maximum external quantum efficiency (EQE) as high as 5.01 % and a radiance up to 6284 mW Sr−1 m−2. Critically, the NIR OLEDs based on IrFTIQ can furnish EL with NIR component (NIR%) of a total spectrum > 99 %. All these encouraging results definitely demonstrate the effectiveness of our molecular design strategy for the new-type Ir(III) NIR phosphorescent complexes and the great potential of the fluoranthene group in developing high-performance Ir-based NIR phosphors for OLEDs.

This review article undiscloses the significance of anion-π bonding in iodide-selective supramolecular chemosensors. Due to their lower basicity and nucleophilicity, iodide-selective chemosensors have received less attention than other halide ions. However, several supramolecular organic sensors have emerged by utilizing the larger size of the iodide anion, allowing it to fit into the receptor's cavity or pseudo-cavity readily. Therein, it was frequently presented that iodide-selective sensors typically involved new charge transfer bands in absorbance spectra and a fluorescence quenching, closely resembling the effects of anion-π non-covalent interactions. This review article meticulously explores the substantial evidence confirming the presence of anion-π bonding between the host and guest molecules. The current discovery has the potential to usher in a new paradigm in designing and exploring supramolecular detectors based on anion-π bonding. It should also be emphasized that an important objective is to create awareness among scientists about the less common anion-π bonding and its versatile applications toward anion recognition, non-covalent organic frameworks, and self-assemblies.

A molecular probe 3 containing phenyl substituted imidazolyl unit and diaminomaleonitrile (DAMN) moiety has been synthesized and characterized. Photophysical and electrochemical behavior probe 3 were studied in partial aqueous medium (ACN/H2O, 9.5:0.5 v/v). Probe 3 upon interaction with different class of ions showed sensitivity for Cu2+, ClO− and CN− ions with different response time and reaction rates due to variation in intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) process. Both Cu2+ and ClO− ions displayed enhanced emission due to hydrolysis of imine bond to form compound 2 in the medium whereas, with CN− fluorescence quenching was observed due to the deprotonation of –OH/–NH2 functions. The kinetic and optical behavior of the probe suggested that interaction occurred in two steps with Cu2+ (complexation and hydrolysis; absk1,2,3(Cu2+) = 1.17, 0.74 and 0.06 s−1) and ClO− (hydrolysis and deprotonation; absk1,2(ClO−) = 3.0 and 0.60 s−1) ions while CN− (absk1,2(CN−) = 2.13 and 1.66 s−1) induces deprotonation in one step. The interaction of probe 3 with ClO− was relatively fast than with Cu2+/CN− ions. Job's plot analysis between probe 3 and ions revealed a 1:1 (Cu2+/ClO−) and 1:2 (CN−) ratio stoichiometry with good limit of detection (nM) and binding affinity (LOD, 17; KCu2+ = 3.23 × 106 M−1; LOD, 18.5; KClO− = 5.23 × 105 M−1 and LOD, 23.2; KCN− = 5.50 × 109 M−2) respectively. Probe 3 displayed a naked–eye sensitive fluorescence response to detect tested ions on test paper strips and good recovery percentage of ions in real water sample analysis.

Photothermal therapy (PTT) is an innovative cancer treatment that converts light into heat to induce tumor cell death. Compared to traditional therapies, PTT is minimally invasive, has low drug resistance, and targets tumors with high specificity. However, its standalone use is limited due to potential tumor adaptation to heat and the risk of collateral damage to healthy tissues. Combining PTT with chemotherapy could overcome these challenges. Prussian blue (PB) is a promising photothermal agent due to its strong near-infrared absorption and excellent heat conversion properties, but its small pore size restricts the loading of therapeutic agents. This study introduces a novel nanosystem that modifies PB with an Fe-EGCG polyphenol nano-layer to enhance drug delivery capabilities. The system effectively inhibited cancer cell growth in vitro under low-power near-infrared laser exposure, achieving up to 75 % inhibition by combining mild-temperature (44 °C) photothermal therapy with chemotherapy. This approach offers a viable strategy for integrating non-porous materials into synergistic cancer treatments.
光热疗法(PTT)是一种创新的癌症治疗方法,它能将光转化为热,诱导肿瘤细胞死亡。与传统疗法相比,光热疗法创伤小、耐药性低、靶向肿瘤的特异性高。然而,由于肿瘤对热的潜在适应性以及对健康组织造成附带损害的风险,其单独使用受到了限制。将 PTT 与化疗相结合可以克服这些挑战。普鲁士蓝(PB)具有很强的近红外吸收能力和出色的热转换特性,是一种很有前景的光热剂,但其孔径较小,限制了治疗剂的装载。本研究介绍了一种新型纳米系统,该系统用 Fe-EGCG 多酚纳米层对紫外蓝进行改性,以增强药物输送能力。该系统在低功率近红外激光照射下有效抑制了体外癌细胞的生长,通过将低温(44 °C)光热疗法与化疗相结合,达到了高达 75% 的抑制率。这种方法为将无孔材料整合到癌症协同治疗中提供了一种可行的策略。

Prussian blue (PB) is a promising photothermal agent due to its strong near-infrared absorption and excellent heat conversion properties, but its small pore size restricts the loading of therapeutic agents. This study introduces a novel nanosystem that modifies PB with an Fe-EGCG polyphenol nano-layer to enhance drug delivery capabilities. The system effectively inhibited cancer cell growth in vitro under low-power near-infrared laser exposure, achieving up to 75 % inhibition by combining mild-temperature (44 °C) photothermal therapy with chemotherapy. This approach offers a viable strategy for integrating non-porous materials into synergistic cancer treatments.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":302,"journal":{"name":"Dyes and Pigments","volume":"232 ","pages":"Article 112487"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2024-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142534825","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Amino-substituted dyes have recently been described for their interesting photosensitizing properties in photodynamic therapy against bacterial growth. In the present study, two novel pyranoflavylium-based dyes namely 4′-dimethylamino-10-(4''-(dimethylamino)phenyl)pyranoflavylium (4′,4″N(Me)2PyF) and 6-Bromo-4′-dimethylamino-10-(4''-(dimethylamino)phenyl)pyranoflavylium (6Br4′,4″N(Me)2PyF) were synthesized through the reactions between salicylaldehyde and acetophenone derivatives to improve the photo-properties of 5-hydroxy-4′-dimethylaminoflavylium (5OH4′N(Me)2F), a non-photoactivated flavylium salt previously reported due to the presence of a hydroxyl group in its structure. The presence of a pyranic ring with an additional dimethylaminophenyl group and the insertion of a bromine atom changed the spectroscopic properties of the parent flavylium, causing a red shift of the absorption band, higher molar extinction coefficient, and fluorescence emission. Both pyranoflavylium dyes showed appreciable singlet oxygen production, and phototoxicity studies demonstrated their photoactivable nature, leading to a reduction of >3log in cellular viability of S. aureus ATCC 29213 after 15 min of irradiation (22.5 J/cm2).
In conclusion, this study describes a chemical strategy to extend π-conjugation, converting a non-active flavylium dye into photoactivable ones. This approach could be further explored to develop novel solutions for antimicrobial photodynamic inactivation, potentially addressing issues related to antimicrobial resistance.

In view of the vital roles in biological systems, it is significant and challenging to construct a fluorescent probe that can simultaneously detect and discriminate the most important four reactive sulfur species (H2S, Cys, Hcy/GSH). Herein, a smart fluorescent probe Indole-NI-NBD based on indole-fused 1,8-naphthalimide derivative has been rationally designed and synthesized. This probe displayed fast, selective and sensitive responses for these four reactive sulfur species with distinct fluorescent turn-on signal changes at 595 nm. Moreover, the unique absorbance enhancement at 575 nm and the distinct color change achieved “naked eye” detection of H2S. The distinctive fluorescence enhancement at 560 nm only for Cys achieved its discrimination from H2S, and Hcy/GSH. More importantly, using Indole-NI-NBD-loaded test strips and RGB experiment, a smartphone sensing platform was constructed and realized the convenient, reliable, and on-site detection of H2S and Cys. Finally, Indole-NI-NBD was applied to image H2S, Cys, Hcy/GSH and distinguish Cys from them in living cells and zebrafish via different fluorescence signals at a single excitation wavelength.
