1%, n = 11) and low cost. Since MET is the first-line hypoglycemic agent in patients with type II diabetes, this method can preliminarily determine MET content in urine samples, giving satisfactory results.Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) has been shown as a promising visible-light photosensitizer for photodynamic therapy (PDT) application. Nevertheless, its therapeutic efficiency is limited by the low efficiency of visible-light utilization. To overcome this issue, 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole-derived graphitic carbon nitride nanosheets (g-C3N5 NSs) are prepared for PDT application. The addition of nitrogen-rich triazole group into the g-C3N4 motif significantly makes the light absorption of g-C3N5 NSs red-shift with the band gap down to 1.95 eV, corresponding to a absorption edge at a wavelength of 636 nm. g-C3N5 NSs generate superoxide anion radicals (O2•-) and singlet oxygen (1O2) under the irradiation of a low-intensity white light emitting diode. Owing to the high efficiency of visible-light utilization, g-C3N5 NSs show about 9.5 fold photocatalytic activity of g-C3N4 NSs. In vitro anticancer studies based on the results of CCK-8 assay, Calcein-AM/PI cell-survival assay and photo-induced intracellular ROS level analysis in living HeLa cells demonstrate the potential of g-C3N5 NSs as a low-toxic and biocompatible high-efficient photosensitizer for PDT.Samples of rock from the Tomtor Nb - REE (rare-earth elements) deposit (Russia) have been investigated by Raman micro-spectroscopy using visible 532 nm wavelength excitation. Raman spectra of different samples of this rock confirm their composition as calcites and other carbonates such as rhodochrosite, and mixed solid solution phases (Ca, Mn, Fe, Mg, Ba, Sr, REE)(CO3). An association between cyanobacteria and the apatite crystals has been noted Cyanobacteria exhibited Raman modes at 1520-1517 cm-1 located in the double bonds of the central part of the polyene chain of carotenoids. A slight shift of this mode in the apatite-containing samples are dependent upon the compositions of carotenoids, the ratio of the rare earth elements adsorbed by cyanobacteria as well as their interaction with the environment. Laser-induced photoluminescence of REE and Mn+2, obtained as an analytical artifact in the Raman spectra, has been observed in most cases with significant spectral intensity. The luminescence emission of Mn 2+, Sm3+, Eu 3+, Pr3+, Ho3+, Er 3+ in the spectra of the apatite-containing samples obtained with 532 nm excitation can be attributed both to apatite and to other mineral phases with a low concentration which contain these elemental ions. The results obtained in this study allowed us to confirm that the biogenic presence of the cyanobacterial mat had a significant impact on the formation of the unique Nb-REE Tomtor deposit.In variety of skeleton structures of delayed fluorescence molecular materials, the D-A-A type has been widely concerned recently for its improved double efficiency of reverse intersystem crossing process (RISC). Based on the D-A-A structure, eight new D-TRZ-nPO molecules (D = dihydrophenazine (DHPZ), phenothiazine (PTZ), phenoxazine (PXZ) and 9,9-dimethyl-9,10-dihydroacridan (DMAC), TRZ = triphenyltriazine, n = 1 or 2) with potential performance improvement have been deeply investigated by theoretical calculations. Interestingly, these molecules with the closing energy levels of high-lying excited states and charge transfer characters may perform rare high-lying excited state delayed fluorescence. Meanwhile, the changes of RISC and the corresponding effects caused by D-A-A structure from low energy level to high energy level are analyzed in detail. Furthermore, DHPZ-TRZ-2PO with blue emission (452 nm) is expected to be a potential high-lying excited state delayed fluorescence material candidate.Two adducts of Eu(III) tris-hexofluoroacetylacetonate with HMPA (OP(N(CH3)2)3, hexamethylphosphotriamide) and TPPO (OP(C6H5)3, triphenylphosphine oxide) were studied by optical spectroscopy and quantum chemistry (DFT/TD-DFT). The structure of the higher occupied molecular orbitals (MO) of the two adducts determines differences in the position of the excitation band maximum of hfac ligands. According to the calculation data, all excited states are caused by the transition to 3 vacant π4* MOs of hfac ligands. Optical spectra of absorption, excitation and luminescence are obtained and interpreted. The peculiarity of the HOMO-LUMO structure, the low value of the energy gap, and the broadened absorption region of hfac ligands compensate the low absorbance ability of the groups N(CH3)2 in a region of 220-360 nm for the adduct Eu(hfac)3(HMPA)2, reducing the luminescence intensity by only 5-10% relative to the adduct of the Eu(III) complex with TPPO ligands.Herein we present a simple fluorescence quenching method to selectively recognise and determine L-tryptophan (L-Trp) out of other 19 natural amino acids. Selleckchem Nutlin-3 Methylpillar[5]arene (MeP5), which is employed as a macrocyclic fluorescent probe, exhibits fluorescence activity in the solution of poor solvents because of aggregation-induced emission (AIE) effect. Fluorescence quenching of MeP5 in the solution of EtOH/CH2Cl2 (98/2, v/v) was observed upon the addition of L-Trp whereas other 19 natural amino acids did not bring about obvious change in fluorescence intensity. 1H NMR titration, fluorescence spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and theoretical analysis revealed that L-Trp can be encapsulated into the cavity of MeP5 to form a stable 11 host-guest inclusion complex which accounts for the quenching characteristics. The proposed procedure in this investigation offers an attractive and promising method for the selective detection of L-Trp in a mixture of natural amino acids.Endoplasmic reticulum, known to us as the ER, is the largest organelle in many kinds of eukaryotic cells and plays vital roles in maintaining the normal function of cells. Biothiols (Cys, Hcy, GSH) in secretory proteins will be modified as they enter the ER and are of great importance in balancing redox state of ER environments. In this article, we have developed the first endoplasmic reticulum-targeting fluorescent probe, ER-CP, for concurrent distinguishment of Cys, Hcy and GSH with favorable sensitivity and selectivity. ER-CP was successfully used in fluorescence imaging of Cys, Hcy and GSH in HeLa cells. In addition, ER-CP exhibited a good ER-targeting property (Pearson's correlation coefficient = 0.90).
