    Hg(ii)-Mediated Intramolecular Cyclization of Alkynyl Hydrazones: Towards a New Reaction-Based Sensing Approach for Hg(ii) Ions
    (Wiley, 2022) Tütüncü, Büşra Buse; Cebeci, Miray; Emrullahoğlu, Mustafa; Tütüncü, Büşra Buse; 04.04. Department of Photonics; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology; 04. Faculty of Science
    Drawing upon an intramolecular cyclization/annulation reaction sequence mediated by Hg2+ ions, a BODIPY-based fluorescent probe decorated with an alkynyl hydrazone motif responds rapidly and selectively to Hg2+ ions, with a detection limit of 29 nM and a fluorescence turn-on ratio of 15-fold. With the addition of Hg2+ ions, the BODIPY-based alkynyl hydrazone transforms into a pyrazole ring to mediate a turn-on emission response clearly observable to the naked eye under visible light excitation.

    A Cyclopalladated Bodipy Construct as a Fluorescent Probe for Carbon Monoxide
    (Wiley, 2022) Çevik Eren, Merve; Eren, Ahmet; Tütüncü, Büşra Buse; Tütüncü, Büşra Buse; Emrullahoğlu, Mustafa; Dartar, Suay; Emrullahoğlu, Mustafa; 04.01. Department of Chemistry; 04.04. Department of Photonics; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology; 04. Faculty of Science
    By introducing a palladium ion into the backbone of BODIPY, we devised a cyclopalladated BODIPY construct that was almost non-emissive in the absence of any analyte but became highly fluorescent upon interacting with carbon monoxide (CO) in solution and in living cells. A process of ortho-carbonylation and depalladation mediated by the specific binding of CO to palladium, promoted the release of the heavy atom from the fluorophore and consequently generated a fluorescence signal with an exceptionally high (60-fold) enhancement ratio.

    A New Fluorescent 'turn On' Probe for Rapid Detection of Biothiols
    (Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2020) Üçüncü, Muhammed; Zeybek, Hüseyin; Emrullahoğlu, Mustafa; Üçüncü, Canan; Emrullahoğlu, Mustafa; 04.04. Department of Photonics; 04. Faculty of Science; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    We designed and synthesised a novel molecular probe exhibiting high selectivity and sensitivity towards reactive sulphur species (RSS) over other amino acids and biologically relevant species, as well as scrutinised its spectroscopic behaviours under physiological conditions and in living milieu. We used an electrophilic cyanate group as a masking agent to block the excited state intramolecular proton transfer process of 2-(2-cyanato-3-methoxyphenyl)benzo[d]thiazole (HMBT-OCN), which readily hydrolyses to the highly fluorescent structure, 2-(2'-Hydroxy-3'-methoxyphenyl) benzothiazole (HMBT-OH), in the presence of reactive sulphur species.

    Bodipy-Vinyl Dibromides as Triplet Sensitisers for Photodynamic Therapy and Triplet-Triplet Annihilation Upconversion
    (Royal Society of Chemistry, 2021) Dartar, Suay; Emrullahoğlu, Mustafa; Karakuş, Erman; Hou, Yuqi; Zhao, Jianzhang; Emrullahoğlu, Mustafa; 04.01. Department of Chemistry; 04.04. Department of Photonics; 04. Faculty of Science; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    We devised a new generation of halogen-based triplet sensitisers comprising geminal dibromides at the vinyl backbone of a BODIPY fluorophore. Incorporating geminal dibromides into the pi-conjugation of BODIPY enhanced intersystem crossing due to the heavy atom effect, which in turn improved the extent of excited triplet states.
