Summary: Novel multi-functional compounds based on Schiff base unit have been synthesized, which can form gels with different solvents. The self-assembly pattern of these compounds has been investigated, showing a sensitive and selective turn-off fluorescence response with Cu2+. Furthermore, the compounds exhibit emission quenching and recovery behavior upon reaction with trifluoroacetic acid or triethylamine, providing a new pathway for the detection of Cu2+, TFA, and TEA using stimuli-responsive fluorescent materials with aggregation-induced emission effect.

Summary: In this study, a reactive oxygen species (ROS)-responsive innate antibacterial supramolecular gel was developed using phenylalanine and hydrazide as gelators. The gel showed excellent inherent antibacterial properties and could release antibiotics in response to ROS. It also exhibited good biocompatibility and the ability to promote cell proliferation. This ROS-responsive supramolecular gel holds great potential as a novel antibacterial agent for treating antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections and preventing the development of bacterial resistance.

Summary: Mechanoluminescence and long afterglow properties of Sr2MgSi2O7(SMSO) singly doped and codoped with Eu2+ and Dy3+ ions are thoroughly investigated in this study. Comprehensive analysis of its multimode luminescence properties is conducted, including photoluminescence, mechanoluminescence, long afterglow, and X-ray-induced luminescence. First-principles calculations confirm that the enhanced mechanoluminescence properties of SMSO primarily derive from the deep trap introduced by Dy3+. In contrast to traditional mixing, this study incorporates the powders into optically transparent wood, achieving a multiresponse with mechanoluminescence, long afterglow, and X-ray-excited luminescence.
