AbstractPurely-organic clusterization‐triggered emission (CTE) has displayed promising abilities in bioimaging, chemical sensing, and multicolor luminescence. However, it remains absent in the field of circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) due to the difficulties in well-aligning the nonconventional luminogens. We report a case of CPL generated with CTE using the solid phase molecular self-assembly (SPMSA) of poly-L-lysine (PLL) and oleate ion (OL), that is, the macroscopic CPL supramolecular film self-assembled by the electrostatic complex of PLL/OL under mechanical pressure. Well-defined interface charge distribution, given by lamellar mesophases of OL ions, forces the PLL chains to fold regularly as a requirement of optimal electrostatic interactions. Further facilitated by hydrogen bonding, the through-space conjugation (TSC) of orderly aligned electron-rich O and N atoms leads to CTE-based CPL, which is capable of transferring energy to an acceptor via a Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) process, making it possible to develop environmentally friendly and economic CPL from sustainable and renewable materials.

A conventional fluorescence microscope was modified to observe the sites of resonance energy transfer (RET) between fluorescent probes in model membranes and in living cells. These modifications, and the parameters necessary to observe RET between membrane-bound fluorochromes, are detailed for a system that uses N-4-nitrobenzo-2-oxa-1,3-diazole (NBD) or fluorescein as the energy donor and sulforhodamine as the energy acceptor. The necessary parameters for RET in this system were first optimized using liposomes. Both quenching of the energy donor and sensitized fluorescence of the energy acceptor could be directly observed in the microscope. RET microscopy was then used in cultured fibroblasts to identify those intracellular organelles labeled by the lipid probe, N-SRh-decylamine (N-SRh-C10). This was done by observing the sites of RET in cells doubly labeled with N-SRh-C10 and an NBD-labeled lipid previously shown to label the endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, and nuclear envelope. RET microscopy was also used in cells treated with fluorescein-labeled Lens culinaris agglutinin and a sulforhodamine derivative of phosphatidylcholine to examine the internalization of plasma membrane lipid and protein probes. After internalization, the fluorescent lectin resided in most, but not all of the intracellular compartments labeled by the fluorescent lipid, suggesting sorting of the membrane-bound lectin into a subset of internal compartments. We conclude that RET microscopy can co-localize different membrane-bound components at high resolution, and may be particularly useful in examining temporal and spatial changes in the distribution of fluorescent molecules in membranes of the living cell.

Cocktail Approach

In this work, a cocktail approach toward tunable organic long-lived luminescence materials in solid, solution, and gel states is proposed. The tunable long-lived luminescence (τ > 0.7 s) is realized by controlling the energy transfer via manipulating the photo-induced isomerization of the energy acceptor (5). The afterglow can be regulated between blue and yellow emission upon irradiation of UV or visible light. And the “apparent lifetime” for the long-lived fluorescence is the same as the lifetime of the energy donor. The function is relying on the simple radiative energy transfer (reabsorption) between a long-lived phosphorescence and a highly efficient fluorescent isomer (5b), rather than the complicated communication between the excited state of the molecules such as Förster resonance energy transfer or Dexter energy transfer. The simple working principle endows this strategy with huge universality, flexibility, and operability. This work offers an extremely simple, feasible, and universal way to construct tunable afterglow materials in solid, solution, and gel states.
