Luminescent terbium(III) probes containing aromatic amino acid-based antenna for discrimination between adenine and guanine nucleotides Herein we present a series of luminescent Tb(III)-probes ([Tb-Ltrp], [Tb-Ltyr], [Tb-Lphe]) for sensing and discriminating purine nucleoside polyphosphates (NPP) based on a modified DTTA chelator appended to aromatic amino acids (Laa).

Serendipitous crossed aldol reaction in the second coordination sphere of a Ru(II) polypyridyl complex in silica bed: prospect for delivering anticancer agents for photoactivated chemotherapy Abstract The localized drug action in tumors to overcome the side effects of chemotherapy became an impetus for the development of photoactivated chemotherapy (PACT). As potential PACT agents, ruthenium(II) polypyridyl complexes have emerged as efficient photocages for anticancer agents.

Luminescent heteroleptic Eu(III) probes for selective detection of diethyl chlorophosphate as G-series nerve agent mimic in vapor phase using solid-state film The extreme toxicity of innocuous organophosphate nerve agents (OP) poses a significant public health risk. Developing an efficient sensing and detection system is crucial to contain and mitigate disasters and strengthen national security.
