Summary: The present article summarizes the use of resonance Rayleigh scattering (RRS) as a versatile tool in pharmaceutical analysis. RRS was applied to determine about 110 pharmaceutical compounds belonging to more than 12 therapeutic groups. Various approaches, including ion associate complex formation, aggregation of nanoparticles induced by analyte, the role of analyte in the formation of nanoparticles, and RRS quenching, were used to affect the RRS signal. Organic dyes were widely used as RRS probes, while neutralization indicators, surfactants, nanoparticles, and inorganic compounds were also utilized. There was evidence for the role of nanostructure in the occurrence of RRS in all approaches. Additionally, RRS was coupled with HPLC or flow injection as a detection system.

Summary: In this study, a multi-spectroscopic assay based on a derivatization reaction was developed for phosphate detection. The assay could transform the weak spectral signals of phosphate into a large ion-association complex, allowing for easy detection. Three types of spectral signals (resonance Rayleigh scattering, fluorescence, and ultraviolet-visible absorption) showed significant changes and had good linear relationships with the phosphate concentration. The assay demonstrated good selectivity and high sensitivity, making it suitable for phosphate determination in complex samples.

Summary: Surface modification is crucial for tailoring the functionalities of solid materials. In this study, a simple and universal surface modification method based on phytic acid (PA) is developed, which introduces antimicrobial function through the adhesion and electrostatic interaction of PA. The modified surfaces exhibit strong antibacterial performance due to the synergistic bactericidal effects of cationic polymers (CPs) and photothermal effect caused by Prussian blue nanoparticles (PB NPs). The PA-PB-CP coating disturbs the membrane integrity, enzymatic activity, and metabolism function of bacteria, leading to the elimination of adhered bacteria.

Summary: The recycling of waste mandarin peels into biochar (MRBC) has been used as a high performance and cost-effective adsorbent for treating polluted wastewater effluents. Batch adsorption studies were conducted to analyze the adsorption competency of MRBC on two dyes, methylene blue (MB) and basic fuchsin (BF), either in individual solutions or binary combinations. The results showed that MRBC was capable of effectively removing a high percentage of both dyes. However, the adsorption capacity decreased when the dyes were combined. The cost estimation of MRBC production and wastewater treatment indicated that both were relatively low.

Summary: This study synthesized Cs2NaInCl6 nanocrystals co-doped with Sb3+ and Tb3+ ions as probes for copper ions detection in lubricating oil. The introduction of Sb3+ effectively reduced the band gap of the host material and enabled energy transfer pathway for Tb3+ emission. The doped Tb3+ ions resulted in the suppression of emission due to electron transfer. The Cs2NaInCl6: 2.5 %Sb3+, 40 %Tb3+ NCs exhibited superior sensitivity and selectivity for copper ions detection.

Summary: Raman spectroscopy is commonly used for studying glassy materials in cultural heritage, but it is more difficult to interpret the spectra and apply the technique with portable instruments. In contrast, diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS) can be used in archaeometric investigations as it is portable and non-invasive. However, there is limited application of this technique to historical glasses. This exploratory work demonstrates the potential of DRIFTS, in combination with portable X-ray Fluorescence (pXRF) and EDS microanalyses, for studying the composition and alteration of glass samples in cultural heritage.
