Fe 3+ and Fe 2+ are common metal ions in natural water environments and creatures. The development of water-soluble fluorescent sensors for detecting Fe 2+ /Fe 3+ ions was of great significance. In this work, two kinds of boron fluoride dipyrrole (BODIPY) fluorescent small-molecules were synthesized firstly. One of the small molecules contains a thioester bond that can be used as a chain transfer agent to participate in the polymerization process, and the other contains an unsaturated C = C double bond at the meso position. Through the reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer polymerization (RAFT) polymerization method, methacrylic acid (MAA) and methacrylamide (MAM) were used as the main monomers, and small molecular fluorescent monomers were introduced to the end of the main chain. In this way, fluorescent macromolecules were obtained. The polymers were water soluble owing to the presence of long enough hydrophilic carboxyl and amide chains. These fluorescent probes exhibit high sensitivity to Fe 2+ /Fe 3+ , good selectivity, and anti-interference of other ions. The detection limit for Fe 2+ was as low as 2.3 × 10 −7 M, and the detection limit for Fe 3+ can reach up to 4.5 × 10 −7 M. The results show that these probes can be used as good sensors to identify Fe 2+ and Fe 3+ . Moreover, the fluorophores could be incorporated into polymer chains as the RAFT reagents and/or functional monomers.

An extendable double network design for hydrogels with programmable external geometries and actuating trajectories is presented. Chemically cross-linked polyacrylamide as the first network penetrated with linear alginate chains is prepared for demonstration. The coordination of Fe3+ ions with carboxylate groups in alginate chains acts as the second network, and its dissociation through photoreduction is utilized to realize the photoresponsive shape memory property; the shape fixity ratio and shape recovery ratio both exceed 90%. The gradient dissociation of Fe3+-carboxylate coordination under UV facilitates 3D programming of hydrogel geometry. On another aspect, the resulted cross-linking gradient differentiates the extent and rate of solvent-induced volume change of the PAAm network, endowing the hydrogel with photo-programmable solvent-driven actuating behavior. Furthermore, by inducing the formation of Fe3+-carboxylate coordination within the entire network for shape programming and cross-linking gradients in specific regions as active joints, hydrogels with designed actuating behaviors based on specific 3D shapes are realized. The shape memory and active morphing functionalities enabled by photo-dissociable Fe3+-carboxylate coordination in PAAm hydrogel can be generally extended to other hydrogels.

A novel Schiff-base fluorescent probe, 4-(N-(2- hydroxyl-1-naphthalymethylimino)-ethylamino) −7-nitro-1,2,3-benzoxadiazole (HENB) was synthesized and utilized for spectral sensing of Fe 3+ ions at neutral pH. The binding of Fe 3+ to HENB in C 2 H 5 OH-HEPES buffer (1:1 v/ v, 25 mM, pH 7.2) resulted in a pronounced emission enhancement at 530 nm, which is possibly due to the inhibition of photo-induced electron transfer (PET) process as well as the chelation enhanced fluorescence (CHEF) effect. HENB shows good selectivity and sensitivity toward Fe 3+ with the detection limit as low as 4.51 nM. Test strips made of HENB was used for rapid “naked-eye” detection of Fe 3+ ions in aqueous medium. Moreover, HENB was successfully applied in fluorescence imaging of exogenous and endogenous Fe 3+ in live Hela cells as well as zebrafish. Importantly, HENB is capable of effectively monitoring the variations of Fe 3+ in living cells during ferroptosis process.

A novel fluorescence probe 1 based on triphenylamine was synthesized and characterized by NMR, IR, high resolution mass spectrometry and elemental analysis. Its fluorescence was quenched when pH below 2. There was a linear relationship between the fluorescence intensity and pH value ranged from 2 to 7. And its fluorescence emission was reversibility in acidic and alkaline solution. Furthermore, it exhibited remarkable selectivity and high sensitivity to Fe 3 + and was able to detect Fe 3 + in aqueous solution with low detection limit of 0.511 μM. Job plot showed that the binding stoichiometry of 1 with Fe 3 + was 1:1. Further observations of 1 H NMR titration suggested that coordination interaction between Fe 3 + and nitrogen atom on C N bond promoted the intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) or energy transfer process causing fluorescence quenching. Additionally, 1 was also able to be applied for detecting Fe 3 + in living cell and bioimaging.

A novel organic–inorganic hybrid nanosensor (SASP) was prepared by a one-step sol–gel method and characterized by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, N2 adsorption–desorption, fluorescence spectroscopy, etc. The nanosensor showed almost 3-fold fluorescence emission quenching upon excitation with a 293 nm wavelength in the presence of 20 μM Fe3+ ions. The presence of 18 other metal ions had no observable effect on the sensitivity and selectivity of the nanosensor. A fluorescence analysis method based on the SASP for the selective detection of Fe3+ was established under optimal conditions. The results showed that there was a linear relationship between the log luminescence value and the concentration of Fe3+ over the range of 2.0 × 10−7–9.0 × 10−5 mol L−1 with a detection limit (3σ) of 2.5 × 10−8 mol L−1. Furthermore, the proposed method was successfully applied for the determination of trace Fe3+ in fetal bovine serum without the interference of other molecules and ions. Good recovery (96.5–104.5%) and a relative standard deviation of less than 8.6% were obtained from serum samples spiked with four levels of Fe3+. Additionally, the nanosensor showed a good reversibility; the fluorescence could be switched “off” and “on” in two ways, by adjusting the pH of the solution and adding metal chelating agent EDTA.

Small-sized lanthanide-doped nanoparticles (NPs) exhibiting superior near-infrared (NIR) luminescence properties are highly desired for bioimaging applications. Herein, Fe3+ ions are codoped in NaGdF4:Nd3+ nanocrystals via a simple coprecipitation method, which can simultaneously reduce the particle size and enhance the downconverting NIR luminescence of the NPs. The NIR luminescence intensity reaches the maximum for the obtained sub-5 nm NPs when the doping concentration of Fe3+ is tuned to 20 mol%, which is ∼1.7 times higher than that of the pristine 8.7 nm NPs without Fe3+ doping. After being modified with targeting molecules, the ultra-small NaGdF4:Nd3+,Fe3+ NPs were successfully applied as luminescent probes for targeted NIR imaging of tumors in biological tissues. Moreover, they also show great potential as a high contrast agent for T2-weighted MRI imaging.

A novel dual ionic network cellulose-based composite conductive self-healing hydrogel was fabricated with high elongation, rapid recoverability, high conductive sensitivity, self-healing ability and good biocompatibility. The hydrogel was constructed by the synergistic complexations of new-fashioned bidentate aldehyde groups on dialdehyde cellulose nanofibers (DACNFs) and carboxyl groups of acrylic acid (AA) with Fe 3+ . The elongation (~1300%) of the hydrogel containing 1 wt% DACNFs was approximate 13-fold of the pure PAA hydrogel and can recover to original state within 2 min after 80% compression. The self-healing efficiency increased with the addition of DACNFs in the dual ionic network cellulose-based composite conductive self-healing hydrogel. The hydrogel configured for a wearable test and showed high stretching sensitivity with a gauge factor of 13.82 at strain within 1.6%. The gauge factor (GF) decrease with the incremental strain within 20%. GF were 0.696 between 20% and 300% strain, 0.837 within 300% and 500%. Meanwhile, the current had a good linear relationship with the bending angles of hydrogels and pressure on hydrogels, which may provide a great potential in monitor both minor variations and large movements.

The conductive material used in traditional conductive hydrogels is inherently rigid, which makes the material’s mechanical properties poor. In addition, the use of chemical covalent bonds to form gels makes the hydrogel lack self-healing properties, which limits the conductivity and the application of gel. Based on the above reasons, we use the characteristics of the strong trivalent iron ion chelating ability to prepare a PVA/PAA/Fe3+ system three-dimensional network structure hydrogel and design a sandwich structure to encapsulate liquid metal gallium indium tin (GaIn) in the hydrogel. Inside, the strong conductivity of the liquid metal is used while protecting the liquid metal from being oxidized. In addition, we explore its mechanical properties, electrical conductivity, self-healing properties, adhesion properties, antibacterial properties, etc. and prove them by tensile stress–strain mechanic experiments, electrical impedance experiments, strain sensor signal detection, and biological signal detection experiments. The results show that the as-prepared hydrogel exhibited excellent self-healing performance and antibacterial ability and has mechanical properties that fit the elastic modulus of the skin. Compared with traditional Ag/AgCl electrodes, it can detect electrocardiogram and other biological signals very well as well as having long-lasting and repeated use.

As a new class of metal-free fluorescent dots, sulfur quantum dots (SQDs) have attracted more and more attention because of their unique properties and promising applications in many fields. However, synthesizing SQDs with high optical stability and stimuli-responsive fluorescence is still in its infancy. Herein, a simple one-pot strategy is reported for preparing polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)-capped SQDs from cheap elemental sulfur by employing PVA as ligand. The as-prepared SQDs with size in range of 1.5–5 nm show fine water dispersibility and stability, bright fluorescence, good optical stability, and low cytotoxicity, which make them potential for cell imaging. In addition, the SQDs show sensitive and selective fluorescence quenching behavior toward Fe 3+ with a detection limit of 92 × 10 −9 m . Meanwhile, the SQDs also present temperature-dependent fluorescence and hold promise for working as a nanothermometer. For the first time, the utilization of SQDs for monitoring of Fe 3+ and temperature in the interior of cells is confirmed in this study. This work thus opens new opportunities for expanding the application fields of SQDs.

The development of water-soluble polymer dyes is of great practical and scientific significance. In this article, small fluorescent molecule boron-dipyrromethene (BODIPY) bearing C=C bond was synthesized first. And then, via Suzuki reaction, recognition groups were introduced into the 2, 6 positions of BODIPY. Thus polymerizable fluorescent monomers were prepared. Finally, methacrylic acid (MAA) was copolymerized with the as-prepared small molecular fluorescent monomers via reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization methodology. Four fully-water-soluble polymer sensors with BODIPY moieties in the end of the polymer chain were obtained eventually. In the presence of long PMAA chain, and by the assistance of it, BODIPY could be dissolved totally in water. These polymer sensors exhibited sensitive and selective recognition ability to Fe 3+ . Even the content rate of BODIPY was as low as 0.5% of the polymer (calculated from element analysis), the detection limit could reach 1.2 μM. The sensors with two recognition groups in one BODIPY unit were more sensitive than that with one recognition groups in each BODIPY unit. The sensing mechanism was investigated as well. By endowing the water solubility to organic sensors, the application scope could be greatly enlarged in sensing metal ions in aqueous environments. This work provides a method to develop water soluble high performance polymer sensors.

In recent years, metal ions have been cross-linked with composite to improve their adsorption capacity, which has a wide range of applications in environmental treatment, biomedicine and other fields. In this work, Fe 3+ was complexed with block polyarylene ether nitrile (PEN) to form regular cubic blocks, which provided sufficient sites for the attachment of TiO 2 . Four types of PEN-Fe 3+ @TiO 2 hybrid cubes were successfully prepared by changing the content of TiO 2 . The adsorption and photocatalytic degradation properties of PEN-Fe 3+ @TiO 2 were evaluated by UV-Vis spectrophotometer. The results showed that the adsorption capacity of PEN-Fe 3+ @TiO 2 increased with the increase of TiO 2 , and the maximum adsorption capacity and the photocatalytic degradation ratio reached 914.42 mg/g and 99%, respectively. The effect of pH on the adsorption capacity was further studied and it was found that the PEN-Fe 3+ @TiO 2 composites showed better adsorption property under alkaline conditions. Moreover, the adsorption kinetic fitting showed that the whole adsorption process obeyed the pseudo-second-order kinetic model, which indicated that the adsorption process was dominated by chemical adsorption .

Supramolecular self-assembly is a noncovalent bond-based method to build complex ordered aggregates with specific functions. However, self-assembly based on metal nanoclusters (NCs) has been rarely studied because of the poor water solubility and silent fluorescence in a single-molecular state of metal NCs. Here, water-soluble silver NCs (NH 4 ) 9 [Ag 9 (mba) 9 ] (Ag 9 -NCs, H 2 mna = 2-mercaptonicotinic acid) were synthesized with phthalic acid (PA) to form hydrogels using the self-assembly strategy. Due to the formation of hydrogen bonds , hollow tubes appear in the hydrogel. For comparison, isophthalic acid (IPA) and terephthalic acid (TPA) are selected to self-assemble with Ag 9 -NCs in aqueous solutions. The result shows that only PA can form a strong phosphorescent hydrogel due to the ligand-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT) and ligand-metal-metal charge transfer (LMMCT). In addition, the hydrogel is used as an excellent sensor for Fe 3+ , and the detection limit, which is defined as the change of 10% of fluorescence intensity , is 0.611 μM. This work shows that a hydrogel was successfully prepared using a supramolecular self-assembly strategy and will become a candidate in the fields of biological sciences and sensors.
