Surface plasmon assisted catalysis (SPAC) reactions of 4-aminothiophenol (4ATP) to and back from 4,4′-dimercaptoazobenzene (DMAB) have been investigated by single particle surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy, using a self-designed gas flow cell control the reductive/oxidative environment over reactions. Conversion 4ATP into DMAB is induced energy transfer (plasmonic heating) resonance 4ATP, where O2 (as an electron acceptor) essential H2O base) can accelerate reaction. In contrast, hot (from...
Boronic acids are centrally important functional motifs and synthetic precursors. Visible light-induced borylation may provide access to structurally diverse boronates, but a broadly efficient photocatalytic method that can effect of wide range substrates, including strong C–O bonds, remains elusive.

Fluorescent conjugated polyelectrolytes with pendant ionic sulfonate and carboxylate groups are used to sense protease activity. Inclusion of the fluorescent polyelectrolyte into assay scheme leads amplification sensory response. The sensing mechanism relies on an electrostatic interaction between a peptide substrate that is labeled fluorescence quencher. Enzyme activity hydrolysis kinetics measured in real time by using spectroscopy. Two approaches presented. In first approach, turn-on...

The fluorescence of the anionic, carboxylate-substituted poly(phenylene ethynylene) polymer PPECO2 is quenched very efficiently via addition 1 equiv Cu2+. Addition pyrophosphate (PPi) into weakly fluorescent solution and Cu2+ induces recovery polymer's fluorescence; occurs because PPi complexes with Cu2+, effectively sequestering ion so it cannot bind to carboxylate groups polymer. A calibration curve was developed that relates extent [PPi], making PPECO2−Cu2+ system a sensitive selective...
