Summary: This study successfully synthesized four gelatinous Ln(3+) coordination polymers by self-assembly of ciprofloxacin, adenosine monophosphate, and Ln(3+) ions in water medium. It was found that the characteristic fluorescence of Ln(3+) significantly increased and the concentration of ciprofloxacin decreased with the increasing concentration of Ln-CPs, which was attributed to the aggregation-enhanced antenna effect due to the large aggregates formed by self-assembly.

Summary: A ratiometric fluorometric method based on luminol-Europium complex was developed for the detection of tetracycline, showing quenching of fluorescence at 453 nm due to inner filter effect in the presence of TC and observation of Eu3+ emission peak at 626 nm thanks to antenna effect. This strategy is fast, sensitive, and visual for TC detection, allowing for detection from 0.5 to 80 mu M with a detection limit of 39 nM, and demonstrating color change from blue to red in real samples using luminol-Eu-based test paper under 365 nm ultraviolet light.

Summary: Abnormal expression of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) in serum is important for health monitoring and disease diagnosis. A ratiometric approach using a carbon dot/cobalt-metal organic framework nanocoral mediated fluorescence-scattering sensor has been developed for simple and highly sensitive detection of ALP. The sensor effectively converted ALP into a ratio signal of fluorescence-scattering dual emission with a wide linear range of detection and improved sensitivity in serum.

Summary: In this study, ultra-small and highly fluorescent zinc-based metal-organic frameworks (FMOF-5) were synthesized, which have the characteristics of stability, low cost, and robustness, making them highly desirable in bioanalytical applications. By selectively tuning the emission color and enhancing the fluorescence intensity of FMOF-5 through aggregation induced emission (AIE), tetracycline (TC) was successfully detected with high sensitivity. The integration of a smartphone and a visual platform enabled quantitative point-of-care testing. The results of this study have promising implications for practical applications.
