The reaction of [(3-bdppmapy)(AuCl)2] with NaHmna (3-bdppmapy = N,N’-bis-(diphenylphosphanylmethyl-3-aminopytidine, H2mna = 2-mercaptonicotinic acid)) resulted in a tetranuclear Au-P-S complex [(3-bdppmapy)2(AuHmna)2(AuCl)2] (1) which emitted b...
Switchable luminescent bioprobes whose emission can be turned on as a function of specific enzymatic activity are emerging as important tools in chemical biology. We report a promising platform for the development of label-free and continuous enzymat...
Recently, fluorescent probes became one of the most efficient tools for biosensing and bioimaging. Special attention is focused on carbon quantum dots (CQDs), which are characterized by the water solubility and lack of cytotoxicity. Moreover, they ex...
Cerium and chromium co-doped gadolinium aluminum gallium garnets were prepared using sol-gel technique. These compounds potentially can be applied for NIR-LED construction, horticulture and theranostics. Additionally, magnesium and calcium ions were...
Solid-state functional luminescent materials arouse an enormous scientific interest due to their diverse applications in lighting, display devices, photonics, optical communication, low energy scintillation, optical storage, light conversion, or phot...
Recent progress in the field of photosensitive materials has prompted a need to develop efficient methods to synthesize materials with basic intermolecular architectural designs and novel properties. Accordingly, in this work we design and study a ph...
Triglycine sulfate (TGS) single crystals doped with croconic acid (CA) were grown by evaporation from aqueous solutions. X-ray diffraction analysis shows a slight reduction in unit cell volume in TGS:CA compared to pure TGS crystals. The polarized Ra...
