Abstract:
In this work, a novel ruthenium complex loaded monolayer layered double hydroxide (LDH) (denoted as Ru(C-bpy)2 /mLDH) as supramolecular nanosensor is synthesized, which is greatly exclusive to the hypoxic tumor microenvironment. The Ru(C-bpy)2 /mLDH ultrathin sheet displays not only enhanced luminescence lifetime compared to the parent Ru(C-bpy)2 alone, but also improved oxygen responsibility under an excitation of 488 or 800 nm. Moreover, the Ru(C-bpy)2 /mLDH is possessed of two-photon fluorescence imaging ability under the 800 nm irradiation. In addition, the Ru(C-bpy)2 /mLDH can generate singlet oxygen with a high yield (φ∆ ) of 0.28 under the 520 nm irradiation, while the φ∆ of Ru(C-bpy)2 is 0.19. Therefore, the Ru(C-bpy)2 /mLDH can be applied as a supramolecular theranostic agent with light-switchable cancer imaging and photodynamic therapy properties.

Temperature Dependence on Reaction Rate
Atoms, molecules, or ions must collide before they can react with each other. Atoms must be close together to form chemical bonds. This premise is the basis for a theory that explains many observations regarding chemical kinetics, including factors affecting reaction rates.
The collision theory is based on the postulates that (i) the reaction rate is proportional to the rate of reactant collisions, (ii) the reacting species collide in an orientation allowing contact between...
