Noble metal nanoparticles exhibit strong surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and have been utilized in many chemical, biological and electronic applications. Recent advances on metal-enhanced optical properties demonstrated that the quantum yield and photo-stability of the fluorophores can be significantly enhanced when they are in the proximity of the metal surface, that will benefit many fluorescence-based applications. In this review article we first discuss the fundamental concepts of metal-enhanced optical properties and the recent achievements of metal-enhanced fluorescence of organic fluorophores and quantum dots, as well as metal-enhanced phosphorescence of organic molecules and upconversion nanoparticles that have long life times. Finally, we present recent applications of metal-enhanced optical properties in biosensing and bioassays, photodynamic therapy and optoelectronics.

Incorporation of fluorine into organic molecules is a well-established strategy in the design of advanced materials, agrochemicals, and pharmaceuticals. Among numerous modern synthetic approaches, functionalization of unsaturated bonds with simultaneous addition of trifluoromethyl group along with other substituents is currently one of the most attractive methods undergoing wide-ranging development. In this review article, we discuss the most significant contributions made in this area during the last decade (2012−2021). The reactions reviewed in this work include chloro-, bromo-, iodo-, fluoro- and cyano-trifluoromethylation of alkenes and alkynes.
