In this work, Ni(2+)-modified gold nanoclusters were fabricated for fluorescence turn-on detection of histidine. The fluorescence of Au NCs was first quenched by Ni(2+). Then, the addition of histidine can restore the fluorescence of Au NCs by binding with Ni(2+) and removing it from the surface of the Au NCs. This ar…

In the past decade, there has been an increasing interest in supramolecular systems that can undergo physical or chemical tranformations upon encountering a specific stimulus. Micelle-forming amphiphilic systems based on polymers and dendrimers are particularly preferred over small molecule amphiphiles, due to their a…

Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) doped with poly(4-styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT/PSS) was synthesized by oxidative polymerization and pH dependence of structure and electrical conductivity of the cast films were investigated by means of UV-vis-NIR, XRD, AFM analyses, and four-point technique. It was found that the neutrali…

On the basis of density functional theory calculations, we show that edge-decorated graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) by scandium can bind multiple hydrogen molecules in a quasi-molecular fashion. The average adsorption energy of H(2) on Sc ranges from 0.17 to 0.23 eV, ideally suited to hydrogen storage. For the narrowest G…

A new polar material containing two types of stereoactive lone-pairs has been synthesized. The unique parallel alignment of the stereoactive lone-pairs on Pb(2+) cations and the synergistic effect of two types of stereoactive lone-pairs on I(5+) and Pb(2+) cations make it exhibit a very large second-harmonic generatio…
