Summary: This study addresses the issue of efficiency roll-off in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) using isophthalonitrile-based blue Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence (TADF) emitters. By introducing enlarged steric hindrance through methylation and reducing the singlet-triplet energy gap, the modified compound showed improved reverse intersystem crossing rate and shortened delayed fluorescence lifetime. The resulting blue OLED exhibited high efficiency and low efficiency roll-off, demonstrating the potential of isophthalonitrile-based TADF emitters in high-brightness OLED applications.

Summary: Efficient and stable deep-blue organic luminescent materials are important for full-color displays, but rare due to their wide bandgap. In this study, a high-performance deep-blue hybridized fluorophore PTPC with aggregation enhanced emission (AEE) effect was designed and synthesized. It exhibited high morphological stability, photoluminescence efficiency, and bipolar-transporting properties. The non-doped OLED based on PTPC achieved a high external quantum efficiency of 6.78% and deep-blue emission. PTPC also showed extraordinary amplified spontaneous emissions (ASEs) with low threshold and high gain coefficient. This work provides insights into creating high-performance deep-blue organic semiconductors for practical applications.

Summary: One of the most important challenges in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) is the development of highly efficient blue-emissive materials. In this study, a series of blue-emissive materials with donor-pi-acceptor (D-pi-A) structures containing a fluorene pi-bridge were synthesized and investigated. It was found that the insertion of the fluorene pi-bridge not only promoted the formation of hybrid local and charge-transfer excited states with high photoluminescent quantum yield (PLQY), but also enhanced hole mobilities through intermolecular face-to-face stacking. As a result, the non-doped OLED using TPACFOXZ achieved a high maximum external quantum efficiency of nearly 10% with balanced hole and electron mobilities.

Summary: A novel fluorescent probe HBT-H based on benzothiazole is designed and synthesized in this study. The probe shows excellent selectivity and can specifically detect Cu2+. Under 360 nm UV excitation, HBT-H emits cyan blue fluorescence with a peak at 487 nm, which is quenched upon addition of Cu2+. The detection limit for Cu2+ recognition by HBT-H probe is calculated as 3.08 x 10-7 M. The complexation ratio of HBT-H to Cu2+ is found to be 2:1 according to Job's plot and high resolution mass spectrometry. The sensor mechanism is confirmed to be excited intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT). Surprisingly, the HBT-H probe system exhibits different fluorescence colors, green under acidic conditions and cyan blue under alkaline conditions, indicating pH sensitivity. In addition, HBT-H probe shows good membrane permeability and low cytotoxicity, making it suitable for detecting Cu2+ in water samples and human breast cancer cells (MCF-7).

Summary: Based on the classical Schiff base reaction, a fluorescent probe PAI was designed and synthesized through structural modification by introducing Schiff base structure to pyrene unit. The synthesized PAI was characterized by FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and HRMS. PAI is a turn-on probe with high selectivity for specific recognition of Al3+ ion, and has a lower limit of detection compared to many other reported probes. The addition of Al3+ ion breaks the carbon-nitrogen double bond of Schiff base in PAI, resulting in a product without PET property and exhibiting enhanced fluorescence and blue color. PAI can also recognize Al3+ ion through test papers, which is beneficial for future research on Al3+ ion sensing.

Summary: Nicosulfuron, jointly developed by DuPont and Ishihara, is the dominant herbicide in the global sulfonylurea herbicide market. Its widespread use has resulted in increasing hazards to agricultural production, such as environmental harm and impact on subsequent crops. The addition of herbicide safeners, including a series of novel aryl-substituted formyl oxazolidine derivatives, can effectively mitigate herbicide injury to crop plants and expand the range of herbicide applications. Compound V-12 demonstrated inspiring activity comparable to the commercial safener isoxadifen-ethyl, competing with nicosulfuron for the acetolactate synthase active site, thus further protecting maize from herbicide damage.

Summary: Phytotoxicity of herbicides on crops is a challenge in agriculture. Herbicide safeners have emerged as a solution, selectively enhancing herbicide performance while reducing phytotoxicity to crops. However, due to potential toxicity, only a small proportion of safeners are commercially available. Natural products as safeners have been extensively studied, but they are difficult to extract and synthesize with relatively lower activity. This paper reviews the application, effects, characteristics, and modifications of natural safeners and provides insights on the discovery of potential safeners in the future.

Summary: The use of machine learning to predict the performance of specific adsorbents in phosphate adsorption shows great promise in saving time and revealing underlying mechanisms. However, the small size of the dataset and insufficient detailed information limits the model training process and the accuracy of results. To address this, the study employs a fuzzing strategy that replaces detailed numeric information with descriptive text messages on the physiochemical properties of adsorbents. This strategy allows the recovery of discarded samples with limited information, leading to accurate prediction of adsorption amount, capacity, and kinetics. The study also finds that phosphate uptake by adsorbents is generally through physisorption, with some involvement of chemisorption. The framework established in this study provides a practical approach for quickly predicting phosphate adsorption performance in urgent scenarios, using easily accessible information.
