Research of the entry of rare earth elements Eu3+ and La3+ into plant cell

Whether rare earth elements can enter into plant cells remains controversial. This article discusses the ultracellular structural localization of lanthanum (La³⁺) and europium (Eu³⁺) in the intact plant cells fed by rare earth elements Eu³⁺ and La³⁺. Eu-TTA fluorescence analysis of the plasmalemma, cytoplast, and mitochondria showed that Eu³⁺ fluorescence intensities in such structures significantly increased. Eu³⁺ can directly enter or be carried by the artificial ion carrier A23187 into plant cells through the calcium ion (Ca²⁺) channel and then partially resume the synthesis of amaranthin in the Amaranthus caudatus growing in the dark. Locations of rare earth elements La³⁺ and Eu³⁺ in all kinds of components of cytoplasmatic organelles were determined with transmission electron microscope, scanning electron microscope, and energy-dispersive X-ray microanalysis. The results of energy-dispersive X-ray microanalysis indicated that Eu³⁺ and La³⁺ can be absorbed into plant cells and bind to the membranes of protoplasm, chloroplast, mitochondrion, cytoplast, and karyon. These results provide experimental evidence that rare earth elements can be absorbed into plant cells, which would be the basis for interpreting physiological and biochemical effects of rare earth elements on plant cells.     

Fluorescence emission mechanism and fluorescence properties of ternary Tb(III) complex with diphenyl sulphoxide and bipyridine

A novel ternary complex, TbL₅L′(ClO₄)₃·3H₂O, two binary complexes, TbL₇(ClO₄)₃·3H₂O and TbL′_3.5(ClO₄)₃·4H₂O has been synthesized (using diphenyl sulphoxide as the first ligand L, bipyridine as the second ligand L′). Their composition was analysed by element analysis, coordination titration, IR spectra and ¹H‐NMR, and the fluorescence emission mechanism, fluorescence intensities and phosphorescence spectra were also investigated by comparison. It was shown that the ternary rare‐earth complex showed stronger fluorescence intensities than the binary rare‐earth complexes in such material. The strongest characteristic fluorescence emission intensity of the ternary system was 8.23 times, 3.58 times as strong as that of the binary systems TbL₇(ClO₄)₃·3H₂O and TbL′_3.5 (ClO₄)₃·4H₂O, respectively. By fluorescence analysis it was found that both diphenyl sulphoxide and bipyridine could sensitize the fluorescence intensities of rare‐earth ions. In particular, in the ternary rare‐earth complex, introduction of bipyridine was of benefit to the fluorescence properties of Tb(III). Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Structural,photoluminescence and dielectric investigations of phosphatic shale

In the current study, the structural and spectroscopic properties of phosphatic shale samples obtained from the Atomic Minerals Directorate for Exploration and Research were probed for potential use as a phosphor material. X‐ray diffraction and Raman and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy revealed that the beneficiated phosphatic shale samples were primarily monophasic consisting of fluorapatite [Ca₅(PO₄)₃F, (FAP)] with minor traces of haematite (α‐Fe₂O₃) and calcite (CaCO₃). Energy dispersive X‐ray fluorescence revealed the presence of U, Eu, Dy and Tb in the FAP matrix substituted at Ca(I) and Ca(II) sites of FAP. A reduced optical direct band gap of 4.46 eV was calculated from the Tauc plot. Photoluminescence spectral studies revealed multicolour emissions (red, yellow, green and blue) on ultraviolet light excitation that were attributed to luminescence spectra from rare earth ions Eu³⁺, Tb³⁺, U⁴⁺ and U⁶⁺ in the FAP matrix. The overall emissions for the rare earth and actinide‐doped FAP were obtained in the cool white region and the corresponding Commission Internationale de l’Eclairage chromaticity coordinates were calculated to be (0.274, 0.317). The corresponding colour correlated temperature obtained was 9342 K. Furthermore, phosphatic shale had a high room temperature dielectric constant of 11 at a frequency of 1 kHz that demonstrated its suitability for use in biological sensors. The study showed that natural phosphatic shale could be a potential material for optical, biological and dielectric applications.     

Luminescence in Ba2Sr2Al2O7:RE (RE = Tb3+,Eu3+ and Dy3+) novel aluminate phosphors

The luminescence of novel rare earth ( Tb ^{3 +} , Eu ^{3 +} and Dy ^{3 +} )‐activated Ba ₂ Sr ₂ Al ₂ O ₇ phosphors for solid‐state lighting is presented. The aluminate phosphors were synthesized using a one‐step combustion method. X‐Ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and photoluminescence characterizations were performed to understand the mechanism of excitation and the corresponding emission in the as‐prepared phosphor, as characterized the phase purity and microstructure. Improvements in the luminescence properties of the phosphors with rare earth concentration were observed. The phosphor hue could be tuned from blue, green and red by proper selection of rare earth ions in typical concentrations. Effective absorption in the near‐ultraviolet region was observed, which makes the phosphor a potential candidate for ultraviolet light‐emitting diodes. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Synthesis and luminescent properties of Eu(TTA)3·3H2O nanocrystallines

Nanocrystallines of rare earth complex, Eu(TTA)₃·3H₂O, were synthesized by the chemical precipitation method and were characterized by elemental analysis, ultraviolet visible absorption spectroscopy (UV–vis), infrared spectroscopy (IR), differential thermal analysis–thermogravimetry (TG‐DTA), X‐ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The size of the nanocrystallines was tunable by selecting the proper buffer system, which was used to control the pH of the solution. A small polydispersity in particle size ranging from 70 to 250 nm was obtained when ammonia was used. The nanocrystallines showed the characteristic fluorescence of europium ions and energy transfer from the organic ligand to central ions was observed by fluorescence excitation and emission spectroscopy. These nanoparticles of rare earth complexes have potential application in luminescent materials due to their excellent fluorescence properties. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Fluorescence enhancement of europium (III) perchlorate by 1,10‐phenanthroline on the 1‐(naphthalen‐2‐yl)‐2‐(phenylsulthio)ethanone complex and luminescence mechanism

A novel ligand, 1‐(naphthalen‐2‐yl)‐2‐(phenylsulthio)ethanone was synthesized using a new method and its two europium (Eu) (III) complexes were synthesized. The compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, coordination titration analysis, molar conductivity, infrared, thermo gravimetric analyzer‐differential scanning calorimetry (TGA‐DSC), ¹H NMR and UV spectra. The composition was suggested as EuL₅ · (ClO₄)₃ · 2H₂O and EuL₄ · phen(ClO₄)₃ · 2H₂O (L = C₁₀H₇COCH₂SOC₆H₅). The fluorescence spectra showed that the Eu(III) displayed strong characteristic metal‐centered fluorescence in the solid state. The ternary rare earth complex showed stronger fluorescence intensity than the binary rare earth complex in such material. The strongest characteristic fluorescence emission intensity of the ternary system was 1.49 times as strong as that of the binary system. The phosphorescence spectra were also discussed.

Local‐field effect on the fluorescence relaxation of Tm3+:LaF3 nanocrystals immersed in liquid medium

Tm³⁺:LaF₃ nanocrystals were synthesized with hydrothermal technique. Local‐field effect on the radiative relaxation rate was studied in the system of Tm³⁺:LaF₃ nanocrystals immersed in several liquid media. The fluorescence lifetime was measured. It was found that the fluorescence decay presented the characteristics of second‐order exponential decay, for which the contribution from the ions inside the nanocrystal and ions at the interface of the nanocrystal were distinguished. Investigating the experimental results with proposed models, we found that the surface effect had to be eliminated. For rare earth doped LaF₃ nanocrystals, real‐cavity model well explains the influence of surrounding medium on the fluorescence relaxation rate. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Effects of Rare Earth Elements on the Growth of Arnebia euchroma Cells and the Biosynthesis of Shikonin

Nd³⁺, La³⁺ and Ce³⁺ at proper concentrations had positive effects on the cell growth of Arnebia euchroma and production of shikonin derivatives. A mixture of rare earth elements (MRE, La₂O₃:CeO₂:Pr₆O₁₁: Sm₂O₃ = 255:175:3:1, mol/mol) behaved the most remarkable effects. Two-stage culture was used for the cell proliferation and the biosynthesis of shikonin derivatives. After 20 days culture, 0.05 mM MRE gave the highest cell biomass (24.8 g dry weight l⁻¹), which was 98.0% higher than that without rare earth elements. Similarly, when 0.05 mM MRE was added to the biosynthesis medium, the highest content (8.9% dry weight) and production (571.1 mg l⁻¹) of shikonin derivatives were obtained, which were 89.4% and 165.3% higher than those without rare earth elements, respectively. The increase of the cell biomass and shikonin derivatives may due to increasing the activities of peroxidase and phenylalanine ammonia lyase caused by the addition of the rare earth elements.     

Synthesis and fluorescent properties of europium(III) complexes based on novel coumarin derivatives

Four novel coumarin fluorescence small-molecules were successfully prepared and validated by proton nuclear magnetic resonance (¹H-NMR), carbon-13 (¹³C)-NMR, and mass spectrometry (MS). Their corresponding europium(III) complexes were synthesized and characterized. The ligand can emit green fluorescence in solutions, and the best concentration was 40 μmol/L. The emission peak of ligand has a red-shift with the increase of concentration and solvent polarity. And the effect of various substituents in ligand was ordered using fluorescence intensity as standard: - NO₂ > -Cl > -OCH₃ > -OH. The order of fluorescence quantum yield is in line with the order of fluorescence intensity. The title europium complexes exhibit red fluorescence of europium ion (Eu³⁺) with good thermal stability. The effect of various substituents in ligand on the fluorescence intensity of title europium complexes was also consistent with the earlier results. This suggests that the prepared coumarins fluorescence small-molecules and their corresponding europium complexes have potential application prospects in the field of optical materials.     

Improved cell growth and total flavonoids of Saussurea medusa on solid culture medium supplemented with rare earth elements

Callus cultures of Saussurea medusa were cultivated on solid culture medium supplemented with either Ce³⁺, La³⁺, Nd³⁺ or a mixture of rare earth elements. Ce³⁺, 0.05 mM, gave the highest biomass (0.53 g dry wt per flask) and total flavonoids (27.5 mg per flask), which were, 70% and 100% higher than those without Ce³⁺ addition, respectively. Ce³⁺, 0.01–0.1 mM, or La³⁺, 0.05 mM, or the mixture of rare earth elements, 0.025–0.1 mM, can substitute for 6-benzyladenine, and 0.025 mM Ce³⁺ can partly substitute for naphthaleneacetic acid in promoting cell growth and biosynthesis of total flavonoids in S. medusa.     

Determination of nucleic acid by [tetra‐(3‐methoxy‐4‐hydroxyphenyl)]–Tb3+ porphyrin as the fluorescence spectral probe in bis(2‐ethylhexyl)sulfosuccinate sodium salt micelle system

A new system for the determination of nucleic acid by rare earth metallic porphyrin of [tetra‐(3‐methoxy‐4‐hydroxyphenyl)]–Tb³⁺ [T(3‐MO‐4HP)–Tb³⁺] porphyrin as fluorescence spectral probe has been developed in this paper. Nucleic acid can enhance the fluorescence intensity of the T(3‐MO‐4HP)–Tb³⁺ porphyrin in the presence of bis(2‐ethylhexyl)sulfosuccinate sodium salt(AOT) micelle. In pH 8.00 Tris–HCl buffer solution, under optimum conditions, the enhanced fluorescence intensity is in proportion to the concentration of nucleic acids in the range of 0.05–3.00 µg mL^?1 for calf thymus DNA (ct DNA) and 0.03–4.80 µg mL^?1 for fish sperm DNA(fs DNA). Their detection limits are 0.03 and 0.01 µg mL^?1, respectively. In addition, the binding interaction mechanism between T(3‐MO‐4HP)–Tb³⁺ porphyrin and ct DNA is also investigated by resonance scattering and fluorescence spectra. The maximum binding number is calculated by molar ratio method. The new system can be used for the determination of nucleic acid in pig liver, yielding satisfactory results.

Facile synthesis,cytotoxicity and bioimaging of Fe3+ selective fluorescent chemosensor

The designing and development of fluorescent chemosensors have recently been intensively explored for sensitive and specific detection of environmentally and biologically relevant metal ions in aqueous solution and living cells. Herein, we report the photophysical results of alanine substituted rhodamine B derivative 3 having specific binding affinity toward Fe³⁺ with micro molar concentration level. Through fluorescence titration at 599 nm, we were confirmed that ligand 3 exhibited ratiometric fluorescence response with remarkable enhancement in emission intensity by complexation between 3 and Fe³⁺ while it appeared no emission in case of the competitive ions (Sc³⁺, Yb³⁺, In³⁺, Ce³⁺, Sm³⁺, Cr³⁺, Sn²⁺, Pb²⁺, Ni²⁺, Co²⁺, Cu²⁺, Ba²⁺, Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺, Ag⁺, Cs⁺, Cu⁺, K⁺) in aqueous/methanol (60:40, v/v) at neutral pH. However, the fluorescence as well as colorimetric response of ligand–iron complex solution was quenched by addition of KCN which snatches the Fe³⁺ from complex and turn off the sensor confirming the recognition process was reversible. Furthermore, bioimaging studies against L-929 cells (mouse fibroblast cells) and BHK-21 (hamster kidney fibroblast), through confocal fluorescence microscopic experiment indicated that ligand showed good permeability and minimum toxicity against the tested cell lines.

The Mechanism of the Molecular Interaction between Cerium (III) and Ribulose-1,5-Bisphosphate Carboxylase/Oxygenase (Rubisco)

The mechanism of the molecular interaction between Ce³⁺, a member of rare earth elements, and Rubisco in vitro is investigated. The carboxylase activity of Rubisco greatly increased under low concentrations of Ce³⁺ and decreased under high concentrations of Ce³⁺. The ultraviolet absorption spectra show that the various concentrations of Ce³⁺ treatment do not shift the characteristic peaks of Rubisco while the characteristic peak intensity of Rubisco increases with increasing Ce³⁺ concentration. The Rubisco–Ce³⁺ interactions also do not cause any noticeable change in the λmax of Rubisco fluorescence spectra. However, the fluorescence intensity of Rubisco is found quenched by the addition of Ce³⁺, which strongly suggests that Ce³⁺ could directly bind to the Rubisco protein. and the binding sites is estimated to 1.52 per protein. The binding between Ce³⁺ and Rubisco is also proved by extended X-ray absorption fine-structure essay; Ce³⁺ coordinated with eight oxygen atoms of Rubisco in first shells and six oxygen atoms in second shells. The results implied that Ce³⁺ might improve the microenvironment of Rubisco and, in turn, affected the carboxylase capacity of Rubisco greatly.     

Development of silica-coated rare-earth doped strontium aluminate toward superhydrophobic,anti-corrosive and long-persistent photoluminescent epoxy coating

Long-persistent phosphorescent smart paints have the ability to continue glowing in the dark for a prolonged time period to function as energy-saving products. Herein, new epoxy/silica nanocomposite paints were prepared with different concentrations of lanthanide-doped aluminate nanoparticles (LAN; SrAl₂O₄:Eu²⁺,Dy³⁺). The LAN pigment was firstly coated with silicon dioxide (SiO₂) utilizing the heterogeneous precipitation technique to provide LAN-encapsulated between SiO₂ nanoparticles (LAN@SiO₂). The epoxy/silica/lanthanide-doped aluminate nanoparticles (ESLAN) nanocomposite paints were coated on steel. The prepared ESLAN paints were studied by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis, and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The transparency and coloration properties of the nanocomposite coated films were explored by CIE Lab parameters and photoluminescence spectra. The ultraviolet-induced luminescence properties of the transparent coated films demonstrated greenish phosphorescence at 518 nm upon excitation at 368 nm. Both hardness and hydrophobic activities were investigated. The anticorrosion activity of the nanocomposite films coated onto mild steel substrates immersed in aqueous sodium chloride (NaCl_(aq)) (3.5%) was studied by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The silica-containing coatings were monitored to exhibit anticorrosion properties. Additionally, the nanocomposite films with LAN@SiO₂ (25%) exhibited the optimized long-lasting luminescence properties in the dark for 90 min. The nanocomposite films showed highly reversible and durable long-lived phosphorescence.     

UV light‐tunable fluorescent inks and polymer hydrogel films based on carbon nanodots and lanthanide for enhancing anti‐counterfeiting

Novel water‐soluble green fluorescent carbon nanodots (CNs) using methacrylic acid and m‐phenylenediamine as precursors were first synthesized using a one‐pot hydrothermal method. Red fluorescent lanthanide complexes were prepared using lanthanide ion Eu³⁺ and pyridine‐2,6‐dicarboxylic acid. The optical properties of CNs were characterized using ultraviolet visible (UV) spectra and fluorescence spectra, microscopic morphology was characterized using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS), and the elemental composition was characterized using Fourier transform‐infrared spectroscopy (FT‐IR) and X‐ray photoelectron spectra (XPS). The fluorescence spectra of the lanthanide complexes were also measured. A simple strategy was developed to prepare UV light‐tunable fluorescent inks and polymer hydrogels films based on CNs and lanthanide complexes. The fluorescent inks and polymer hydrogels films could be repeatedly switched between green and red fluorescence. The change of color depended on luminescence of the CNs and the lanthanide complexes under 254 and 365 nm UV light, respectively. The UV light‐tunable fluorescent inks and polymer hydrogels films could enhance its anti‐counterfeiting function for data and information.     

New pieces to the lanthanide puzzle

Recently, rare‐earth elements lanthanides (Ln³⁺) have emerged as enzyme cofactors of methanol dehydrogenases of the XoxF type. It is now understood that XoxF enzymes can functionally replace the alternative, calcium‐dependent, MxaFI‐type methanol dehydrogenases, when Ln³⁺ are available. These rare‐earth metals are not only essential for XoxF activity, but they also regulate gene expression, in a reverse fashion, activating the expression of XoxF and repressing the expression of MxaFI. This type of regulation has created multiple conundrums, including the details of the solubility, transport, sensing and selection mechanisms for Ln³⁺ by the bacterial cells, as well as the questions relevant to the evolution of the alternative enzymes and their potentially different redox properties. Overall, the newly discovered biological activity of Ln³⁺ presents a big puzzle. Ochsner et al. add several pieces to this puzzle, utilizing a model phyllosphere colonizer Methylobacterium extorquens PA1. They determine that Ln³⁺ sensing by this organism can take place via both XoxF‐dependent and XoxF‐independent mechanisms. They also identify genes for a TonB‐dependent transporter and an ABC‐type transporter and demonstrate that both are essential for Ln³⁺‐dependent methanol metabolism. The puzzle still requires multiple additional pieces for completion, but great strides have been made toward the goal of solving it.     

Proton relaxation rate and fluorometric studies of manganese and rare earth binding to concanavalin A

The binding of Mn²⁺, Ca²⁺, and rare earth ions to apoconcanavalin A has been studied by water proton relaxation enhancement, electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy, and fluorescence spectroscopy. An electron paramagnetic resonance and water proton relaxation rate study of the titration of apoconcanavalin A with Mn²⁺ gives evidence of two equivalent binding sites per monomer with K_D = 50 μm ± 4 μm. When a similar Mn²⁺ titration of apoconcanavalin A is performed in the presence of Ca²⁺ ion, very little free Mn²⁺ is detected by electron paramagnetic resonance until the two Mn²⁺ binding sites per monomer are filled. The substitution of a rare earth ion for Ca²⁺ ion in the above experiment often resulted in a slight displacement of Mn²⁺ from the transition metal site as detected by electron paramagnetic resonance. A water proton relaxation rate study of the titration of apoconcanavalin A with Gd³⁺ reflects two binding sites with a K_D = 40 μm ± 4 μm and two with a K_D = 200 μm ± 50 μm. The fluorescence emission spectrum of concanavalin A (λ_em = 340 nm) is slightly quenched by the addition of Tb³⁺ while Tb³⁺ fluorescence is greatly enhanced. A fluorometric titration of apoconcanavalin A with Tb³⁺ also reflects two sites with a K_D = 40 μm ± 15 μm and two with a K_D = 270 μm ± 50 μm.     

Physico-chemical Property of Rare Earths—Effects on the Energy Regulation of Photosystem II in <Emphasis Type="Italic">Arabidopsis thaliana</Emphasis>

Photosystem II (PSII) from Arabidopsis thaliana treated by lanthanum (La³⁺), cerium (Ce³⁺), and neodymium (Nd³⁺) were isolated to investigate the effects of 4f electron characteristics and alternation valence of rare earth elements (REEs) on PSII function regulation comparatively. Results showed that REE treatment could induce the generous expression of LhcII b in A. thaliana and increase the content of light-harvesting complex II and its trimer on the thylakoid membrane significantly. Meanwhile, the light absorption in the red and blue region and fluorescence quantum yield near 683 nm were obviously increased; oxygen evolution rate was greatly improved too, suggesting that REEs could enhance the efficiency of light absorption, regulate excitation energy distribution from photosystem I (PSI) to PSII, and thus increase the activity of photochemical reaction and oxygen evolution accordingly. The efficiency order of the four treatments was Ce³⁺ > Nd³⁺ > La³⁺ > control.
