Among the developed fluorescent probes, the polymers with aggregation-induced emission （AIE） characteristics have drawn much attention due to their bright emission in the aggregate and solid states. However, no review has summarized the development of AIE-active polymers for explosive detection. Herein, we reviewed the recent progress on using AIE-active polymers to detect explosives with super-amplification quenching effect. Moreover, the challenges and opportunities in this area were also briefly discussed.展开更多

The dispersibility o...The synthesis of two linear terpy-based metallo-supramolecular fluorescent coordination polymers through 1 ： 1 complexation of Zn^2＋ and Cd^2＋ ions with ditopic terpyridine ligand was reported. The dispersibility of P1 and P2 was significantly improved in organic solvent and water through the introduction of hydrophilic oligo-ethyoxy side chain. Two polymers displayed yellow light emission both in solution and the solid state due to the intra-ligand charge transfer （ILCT） between the d^10 metal ions and the conjugated spacer unit. These coordination polymers were explored as fluorescent chemosensors for detecting picric acid in aqueous media, displaying high sensitivity and good selectivity. In addition, test strips were prepared from these polymers and exhibited the practical potential of detecting the NACs pollutants in the outdoor water for public safety and security.展开更多

In this study, for the first time, we have reported a fluorogenic reaction to prepare fluorescent silicon-containing polymer dots(Si-PDs) by simply mixing N-[3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl]ethylenediamine(DAMO) and hydroquinone(HQ) in aqueous solution at ambient temperature. Inspired by the alkaline phosphatase(ALP)-catalyzed hydrolysis of the substrate sodium 4-hydroxyphenyl phosphate(4-HPP) into HQ and the resultant HQcontrolled intense green Si-PDs generation, we have established a straightforward ALP activity assay by innovatively employing commercially available 4-HPP as the substrate. More significantly, the specific preparation method, clear formation mechanism and excellent performance enable the Si-PDs as well as its generation process to develop facile and attractive FL immunoassay.With the help of the universal ALP-based enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) platform and corresponding antibody, a convenient and conceptual ALP-based fluorescent ELISA has been constructed and applied in sensing cardiac troponin Ⅰ(cTnI),a well-known biomarker of acute myocardial infarction. Our research via in situ formation of fluorescent nanomaterials has great potential application in ALP activity assay, inhibitor screening, and disease diagnosis.展开更多
