稀土近红外发光材料具有独特的光物理性质,如发光谱带窄、较大的Stock位移、荧光寿命长可达毫秒级等,在医学诊断和成像、免疫分析等热门领域具有重大的应用前景。但由于跃迁选择定则,稀土离子本身的吸收系数较小,需要用特定的生色团对其进行敏化,以增强其发光性能。在众多生色团中,卟啉化合物由于其激发态能级与近红外发光的稀土离子能级较为匹配,可以较好的敏化稀土离子,获得较高的近红外发光效率,因此,近年来受到了极大的关注。本文总结了近年来近红外发光卟啉稀土配合物在生命科学领域中的应用研究进展,并对其发展前景进行了展望。

Assembly and upconversion luminescence of lanthanide-organic frameworks with mixed acid ligands

Three new lanthanide coordination polymers based on mixed acid ligands [Ln(oba)(ox)_0.5(H₂O)₂]_n (Ln = Y (1); Er (2); Yb (3). H₂oba = 4,4′-oxybis (benzoic acid); H₂ox = oxalic acid) were prepared by hydrothermal reactions and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. In these complexes, lanthanide ions are bridged by oba ligands to form 1D double-stranded chains, which are further connected by ox ligands, resulting in the formation of 2D (4,4) grids. The upconversion emission of the Y:Er-Yb co-doped coordination polymer was studied and the unusual blue emission for the Er(III) complexes was observed, which arises from the ²H_9/2 → ⁴I_15/2 transition and can be explained by three-photon excitation mechanism which is mostly phonon-dependent. The introduction of the oxalate anion without high-energy vibrational groups is beneficial to the increasing intensity of upconversion fluorescence. The magnetic properties of complexes 2 and 3 were investigated. The decrease of χ_MT over the temperature range of 300-2 K and the negative value of θ are due primarily to the splitting of the ligand field of the Er^III and Yb^III ions together with the possible weak antiferromagnetic coupling between the rare earth ions.     

Lanthanide Circularly Polarized Luminescence: Bases and Applications

Lanthanide (III) luminescence is very characteristic: it is characterized by narrow emission bands, large Stokes shift, and a long excited state lifetime. Moreover, chiral lanthanide complexes can emit strongly circularly polarized light in a way that is almost precluded to purely organic molecules. Thanks to the sensitivity and specificity of the Ln circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) signal, CPL‐active complexes are therefore employed as bioanalytical tools and other uses can be envisaged in many other fields. Here we present a brief overview of the most recently developed CPL‐active lanthanide complexes and a selected few examples of their applications. We briefly discuss the main mechanisms that can rationalize the observed outstanding CPL properties of these systems, and some practical suggestions on how to measure and report data.

Lanthanide complex coordination polyhedron geometry prediction accuracies of ab initio effective core potential calculations

The ability to efficiently and accurately predict solid-state geometries of lanthanide coordination compounds efficiently and accurately is central for the design of new ligands capable of forming stable and highly luminescent complexes. Accordingly, we present in this paper a report on the capability of various ab initio effective core potential calculations in reproducing the coordination polyhedron geometries of lanthanide complexes. Starting with all combinations of HF, B3LYP and MP2(Full) with STO-3G, 3-21G, 6-31G, 6-31G* and 6-31+G basis sets for [Eu(H₂O)₉]³⁺ and closing with more manageable calculations for the larger complexes, we computed the fully predicted ab initio geometries for a total of 80 calculations on 52 complexes of Sm(III), Eu(III), Gd(III), Tb(III), Dy(III), Ho(III), Er(III) and Tm(III), the largest containing 164 atoms. Our results indicate that RHF/STO-3G/ECP appears to be the most efficient model chemistry in terms of coordination polyhedron crystallographic geometry predictions from isolated lanthanide complex ion calculations. Moreover, both augmenting the basis set and/or including electron correlation generally enlarged the deviations and aggravated the quality of the predicted coordination polyhedron crystallographic geometry. Our results further indicate that Cosentino et al.’s suggestion of using RHF/3-21G/ECP geometries appears to be indeed a more robust, but not necessarily, more accurate recommendation to be adopted for the general lanthanide complex case.

Registered Bioimaging of Nanomaterials for Diagnostic and Therapeutic Monitoring

Nanomedications can be carried by blood borne monocyte-macrophages into the reticuloendothelial system (RES; spleen, liver, lymph nodes) and to end organs. The latter include the lung, RES, and brain and are operative during human immunodeficiency virus type one (HIV-1) infection. Macrophage entry into tissues is notable in areas of active HIV-1 replication and sites of inflammation. In order to assess the potential of macrophages as nanocarriers, superparamagnetic iron-oxide and/or drug laden particles coated with surfactants were parenterally injected into HIV-1 encephalitic mice. This was done to quantitatively assess particle and drug biodistribution. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) test results were validated by histological coregistration and enhanced image processing. End organ disease as typified by altered brain histology were assessed by MRI. The demonstration of robust migration of nanoformulations into areas of focal encephalitis provides ''"proof of concept" for the use of advanced bioimaging techniques to monitor macrophage migration. Importantly, histopathological aberrations in brain correlate with bioimaging parameters making the general utility of MRI in studies of cell distribution in disease feasible. We posit that using such methods can provide a real time index of disease burden and therapeutic efficacy with translational potential to humans.

Luminescence properties and solution dynamics of lanthanide complexes composed by a macrocycle hosting site and naphthalene or quinoline appended chromophore

The two-component ligand systems 1 and 2 which contain 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7-triacetic acid (DO3A) as the hosting unit for the lanthanide cations, and naphthalene (which is devoid of any chelating ability) or quinoline units, respectively, as chromophores, were synthesized. The 1:1 complexes with Gd³⁺, Eu³⁺ and Tb³⁺ have been studied in aqueous solution. Relaxometric properties for Gd · 1 indicate that two water molecules (q = 2) are in the first coordination sphere of the metal ion whereas for Gd · 2, q < 2 is found. For Gd · 1, these results indicate that the naphthalene unit is not coordinated to the metal centre; for the case of quinoline, reasons for the lower hydration state are discussed. In case of Eu · 1, Tb · 1, Eu · 2, and Tb · 2 the absorption and luminescence spectra, the overall luminescence efficiencies, and the metal-centred lifetimes, were obtained both in water and deuterated water. The coordination features of these complexes were explored by comparing their luminescence properties, resulting in hydration state q = 2 and 1.4 for the cases of the complexes of 1 and 2, respectively. Use of the photophysical parameters in air-equilibrated water allowed the determination of the ligand-to-cation energy transfer efficiency, Φ_EnT, leading to the overall emission sensitization process. For Eu · 1, and Eu · 2, we found Φ_EnT = 0.034 and 0.078, respectively, supporting that also a non-coordinating chromophore like naphthalene, case of ligand 1, can transfer excitation energy to the metal centre.     

Development of a platform for activatable fluorescent substrates of glucose transporters (GLUTs)

We have developed a platform for activatable fluorescent substrates of glucose transporters (GLUTs). We firstly conjugated fluorescein to glucosamine via an amide or methylene linker at the C-2 position of d-glucosamine, but the resulting compounds, FLG1 and FLG2, showed no uptake into MIN6 cells. So, we changed the fluorophore moiety to a fluorescein analogue, 2-Me TokyoGreen, which is less negatively charged. TokyoGreen-conjugated glucosamines TGG1 and TGG2 were successfully taken up into cells via GLUT. We further derivatized TGG1 and TGG2, and among the synthesized compounds, 2-Me-4-OMe TGG showed weak fluorescence under the acidic conditions of the extracellular environment inside tumors and in gastric cancers, and strong fluorescence at the intracellular physiological pH, under the control of a photoinduced electron transfer (PeT) process. This fluorogenic platform should be useful for developing a range of activatable fluorescent substrates targeting GLUTs, as well as derivatives that would be fluorescently activated by various intracellular enzymes, such as esterases, β-galactosidase and bioreductases.
