Graphical Vitamin see : The chelating ability of ascorbic acid (AA) enables the extraction of Mn and Zn from the surface of tripolyphosphate-capped Mn-doped ZnS quantum dots (QDs) generating more holes that are subsequently trapped by Mn 2+ . The reducing property of AA results in the reduction of Mn 3+ to Mn 2+ in an excited state, thus enhancing the excitation and orange emission of the QDs (see scheme). Such AA-induced phosphorescence enhancement enables selective detection of AA with a detection limit of 9 n M . Although quantum dot (QD)-based room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) probes are promising for practical applications in complex matrixes such as environmental, food and biological samples, current QD-based-RTP probes are not only quite limited but also exclusively based on the RTP quenching mechanism. Here we report an ascorbic acid (AA) induced phosphorescence enhancement of sodium tripolyphosphate-capped Mn-doped ZnS QDs, and its application for turn-on RTP detection. The chelating ability allows AA to extract the Mn and Zn from the surface of the QDs and to generate more holes which are subsequently trapped by Mn 2+ , while the reducing property permits AA to reduce Mn 3+ to Mn 2+ in the excited state, thereby enhancing the excitation and orange emission of the QDs. The enhanced RTP intensity of the QDs increases linearly with the concentration of AA in the range of 0.05–0.8 μ M . Thus, a QD-based RTP probe for AA is developed. The proposed QD-based turn-on RTP probe avoids tedious sample pretreatment, and offers good sensitivity and selectivity for AA in the presence of the main relevant metal ions and other molecules in biological fluids. The limit of detection (3 s ) of the developed method is 9 n M AA, and the relative standard deviation is 4.8 % for 11 replicate detections of 0.1 μ M AA. The developed method is successfully applied to the analysis of real samples of human urine and plasma for AA with quantitative recoveries from 96 to 105 %.

Photoluminescence enhancement provides an effective way to improve the performance of quantum dots. In this study, lead(II) determination was demonstrated based on phosphorescence enhancement using 1-thioglycerol-capped Mn-doped ZnS quantum dots. Under the optimized conditions, good linear correlations were obtained for Pb2+ from 10.00 to 5000 nM and 0.05000 to 100.0 mM with correlation coefficients of 0.9997 and 0.9979 and a detection limit of 2.56 nM. The method demonstrates good linearity and selectivity, suitable sensitivity, easy operation, and the determination of Pb2+ in Chinese herbal medicine.

A mechanism for the enhanced room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) of gadolinium-coordinated hematoporphyrin monomethyl ether (Gd-HMME) in the presence of imidazole and free gadolinium ions (Gd3+) is revealed. Imidazole, the molten solvent used in the synthesis of Gd-HMME, was effective in enhancing the Gd-HMME RTP. In the presence of imidazole, further enhancement of the Gd-HMME RTP was observed upon adding Gd3+. Overall, a 40-fold enhancement of Gd-HMME RTP intensity was achieved by adding both imidazole and Gd3+. In addition, there was an increase in the RTP lifetime. Through spectroscopic analysis, we deduced that a protective medium is formed by the imidazole and the degree of this protection is further increased by Gd3+. The protective medium enhances the Gd-HMME RTP by partially inhibiting energy transfer from the lowest triplet state of Gd-HMME to oxygen. This was demonstrated by the presence of lower levels of singlet oxygen in the Gd-HMME solution after the addition of imidazole. These results indicate that imidazole could have potential application as an RTP enhancer or triplet state protector.

Phosphorescence shows great potential for application in bioimaging and ion detection because of its long-lived luminescence and high signal-to-noise ratio, but establishing phosphorescence emission in aqueous environments remains a challenge. Herein, we present a general design strategy that effectively promotes phosphorescence by utilising water molecules to construct hydrogen-bonded networks between carbon dots (CDs) and cyanuric acid (CA). Interestingly, water molecules not only cause no phosphorescence quenching but also greatly enhance the phosphorescence emission. This enhancement behaviour can be explained by the fact that the highly ordered bound water on the CA particle surface can construct robust bridge-like hydrogen-bonded networks between the CDs and CA, which not only effectively rigidifies the C=O bonds of the CDs but also greatly enhances the rigidity of the entire system. In addition, the CD-CA suspension exhibits a high phosphorescence lifetime (687 ms) and is successfully applied in ion detection based on its visible phosphorescence.

Pure organic room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP), particularly from guest-host doped systems, has seen exponential growth in the last several years due to their high modulation flexibility, and yet challenges remain with respect to mechanistic elucidations and advantageous applications. Here we show that by constructing guest-host doped RTP systems from chiral components, namely, chiral amino compound-modified phthalimide hosts and naphthalimide guests, a chiral-selective RTP enhancement phenomenon can be observed. For example, R -enantiomeric guests in R -enantiomeric hosts produce strong red RTP afterglow while no appreciable RTP could be observed in the S-R guest-host counterpart. An unprecedented RTP intensity difference > 10 2 folds with the ability to distinguish an enantiomeric excess of 98% could be achieved. Temperature-dependent measurements suggest that a chirality-dependent energy transfer process may be involved in the observed phenomenon, which can be harnessed to extend the RTP application to the chiral recognition of amino compounds, such as amino alcohols.
