Biological Synthesis and Process Monitoring of an Aggregation-Induced Emission Luminogen-Based Fluorescent Polymer.

ABSTRACT: As the most abundant and renewable biopolymer on earth, cellulose can be functionalized for various advanced applications by chemical modification. In addition, fluorescent polymers with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) are generally prepared using chemical approaches, and the biosynthesis of AIE-active polymers are rarely investigated. Herein, fluorescent cellulose was successfully synthesized by bacterial fermentation, where glucosamine-modified AIE luminogen was incorporated into cellulose to achieve AIE-active biopolymers. Excitingly, real-time visualization of the synthetic process was realized, which is crucial for investigating the process of bacterial fermentation. The biosynthesized cellulose exhibited better performance with uniform fluorescence distribution and high stability, compared with that prepared by physical absorption. Additionally, fluorescent mats were fabricated by electrospinning of AIE-active cellulose, demonstrating its great potential applications in flexible display and tissue engineering.

Project description:Positional isomers of zinc-nitrobenzoate complexes possessing pyridine -3-(or-4-) carboxamide are used for a comparative theoretical and experimental study to understand their utility as model complexes to understand the role of metal-to-ligand charge transfer in aggregation-induced emission (AIE). Among the five different model zinc complexes, four of them are non-ionic, and one is an ionic complex. The frontier molecular energy levels of different combinations of the positional isomeric complexes and the absorption maximum were ascertained by density functional theory calculations. The PolyQ value obtained from solid samples of each complex is different. Shifts in the emissions to higher wavelengths than the expected emission for the S1 to S0 transition were observed due to aggregations. The highest value of PolyQ among the complexes was 13.56% observed for emission at 439 nm (λex = 350) of the non-ionic complex, namely, (di-aqua)bis(pyridine-3-carboxamide)di(2-nitrobenzoato)zinc(II) monohydrate. Close resemblance in emission lifetime decay profiles of the solid samples of those complexes and the respective solutions of those complexes in dimethyl sulfoxide with or without water showed a common trend, suggesting aggregation-induced emission in each case. Aggregation-induced emission caused by adding water in dimethyl sulfoxide solution of each complex showed an initial increase without a shift in the emission wavelength followed by a quenching with a shift of the respective emission peak to a short wavelength. Dynamic light scattering studies showed an increase in the average particle sizes upon an increase in the concentration of water. This indicated initial participation of water molecules to form aggregates with the complexes, favoring an increase in the AIE intensity. Aggregation of each complex changes with the concentration of water, and an increase in the concentration of water beyond a characteristic limit causes lowering of the emission intensity to the short wavelength.
