Abstract
Though 2,5-dihydroxyterephthalic acid (DHT) is composed of a single benzene molecule, it is blue-emissive in common organic solvents and in the solid state. Like most organic fluorophores, DHT is not soluble in water, which limits its versatile use in metal ion detection in [...] Read more.
Though 2,5-dihydroxyterephthalic acid (DHT) is composed of a single benzene molecule, it is blue-emissive in common organic solvents and in the solid state. Like most organic fluorophores, DHT is not soluble in water, which limits its versatile use in metal ion detection in an aqueous medium. To improve the water solubility of DHT and its use as a molecular sensor in aqueous solutions, its deprotonated form, DHT-K, was synthesized through the simple one-pot reaction of DHT with KOH. Compared with DHT, DHT-K was highly soluble in water and emitted yellow fluorescence in the solution and the solid. In addition, DHT-K showed high selectivity for Al ions, exhibiting fluorescence wavelength changes from 540 to 495 nm depending on the Al ion concentration. A linear relationship between the fluorescence intensity of DHT-K and Al ion concentration was established ranging from 18.96 to 247 μM with a detection limit of 1.84 µM. The binding stoichiometry between DHT-K and Al ions was determined by Job’s plot and found to be 1:2. Upon exposure to Al ions, DHT-K showed significant changes in fluorescence color and emission wavelength, whereas no fluorescence changes were observed by the addition of various metal ions such as Zn2+, Mg2+, Ca2+, Cu2+, Fe3+, and Co2+. Thus, DHT-K can be applied as a fluorescent sensor that can selectively detect Al ions in aqueous solutions. Full article

Abstract
We report, for the first time, a new red-emitting hybrid material based on a single-benzene-based fluorophore (SBBF) and silica. This robust formulation shows several features, including bright emissions at a red wavelength (>600 nm), high scalability (>gram-scale), facile synthesis (one-pot reaction; SBBF formation, [...] Read more.
We report, for the first time, a new red-emitting hybrid material based on a single-benzene-based fluorophore (SBBF) and silica. This robust formulation shows several features, including bright emissions at a red wavelength (>600 nm), high scalability (>gram-scale), facile synthesis (one-pot reaction; SBBF formation, hydrolytic condensation, propagation), high stability (under different humidity, pH, light), bio-imaging applicability with low cellular toxicity, and an antibacterial effect within Gram-negative/Gram-positive strains. Based on our findings, we believe that these hybrid materials can pave the way for the further development of dye-hybrid materials and applications in various fields. Full article
