The btb3− ligands in 1 and 2 form anionic 2D layered structure with a (63) honeycomb (hcb) topology by linking to Zn(II) centres through their carboxylate groups. The incorporation of N-heterocyclic auxiliary ligands Im and amp into the hcb nets resulted in the formation of a 2D hydrogen-bonded and covalently pillared bilayer structure featuring two-fold interpenetrating networks. Each of these networks consists of small channels that are occupied by Me2NH2 cations and solvent molecules. Both 1 and 2 emit blue luminescent emissions in the solid-state at room temperature and exhibit a great selectivity and sensitivity for the detection of acetone and multiple heavy metal ions including Hg2+, Cu2+, Fe2+, Pb2+, Cr3+, and Fe3+ ions.

Then, a dual capping coligand 2,2′-bipyrimidine (bmp) is introduced to be a bridge to link two β-diketonate-Dy(III) motifs, leading to a new dinuclear Dy(III) complex, [Dy2(dmpd)6(bmp)] (2).

Without a dc field, SMM behaviour is absent in complex 1, but can be clearly observed in dinuclear 2 with a Ueff of 87.29 K. The significantly improved magnetism arising in 2 is mainly due to the modulation of the coordination environment around the Dy(III) ions, and the superexchange magnetic interactions inside the dinuclear units, thus allowing for the effective inhibition of the quantum tunneling of magnetization at low temperatures and promotion of the uniaxial magnetic anisotropy. For 1, a diamagnetic Y(III) analogue [Y(dmpd)3(bpy)] (3) and diluted sample 1@Y were constructed to further perform the dilution experiment, coupling with theoretical calculations further support that the synergetic contributions of intermolecular dipole-dipole interaction, intramolecular coupling and uniaxial magnetic anisotropy cause the enhancement of the dynamic magnetic relaxation.","PeriodicalId":71,"journal":{"name":"Dalton Transactions","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142324942","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, overcoming biological barriers to achieve mitochondria-targeted PDT remains a major challenge. Herein, CD44- and mitochondria-targeted photodynamic nanosystems were fabricated through the self-assembly of hyaluronic acid-conjugated-methoxy poly(ethylene glycol)-diethylenetriamine-grafted-(chlorine e-dihydrolipoic acid- (3-carboxypropyl) triphenylphosphine bromide) polymeric ligands (HA-c-mPEG-Deta-g-(Ce6-DHLA-TPP)) and NaErF4:Tm@NaYF4 core-shell UCNPs (termed as CMPNs). The CMPNs presented ideal physiological stability, a good drug loading capacity and an improved capacity in the generation of singlet oxygen (1O2) based on the FRET mechanism. Significantly, confocal images revealed that CMPNs not only facilitated cellular uptake through CD44-receptor-targeted endocytosis, subsequently enabling rapid evasion from endo-lysosomal sequestration, but also specifically targeted mitochondria, ultimately inducing a profound disruption of mitochondrial membrane potential, which triggered apoptosis upon laser irradiation, thereby significantly enhancing the therapeutic effect. Furthermore, in vitro antitumor experiments further confirmed the substantial enhancement in cancer cell killing efficiency achieved by treating with CMPNs upon near-infrared (NIR) laser irradiation. This innovative approach holds promise for the development of NIR-laser-activated photodynamic nanoagents specifically designed for mitochondria-targeted PDT, thus addressing limitations of the current PDT treatments.","PeriodicalId":71,"journal":{"name":"Dalton Transactions","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142324935","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The optical experimental findings indicate that the co-doping of N/M (where M represents Zn, Co, or Cu) can considerably decrease the energy bandgap of Cs0.68Ti1.83O4 by regulating the energy band position and effectively suppressing the recombination of photogenerated carriers.
