This study demonstrates gel-to-fluid transition temperatures of polydiacetylene bilayer vesicles could play important roles in their colorimetric transition temperatures. We prepared five types of polydiaceylene vesicles with 10,12-pentacosadiynoic acid (PCDA) and cholesterol (0-40 mol % of total content). From temperature-dependent observations of the optical signals (colors and UV-vis spectra), the blue-to-red colorimetric transition temperatures of polydiacetylene vesicles were decreased with the cholesterol contents. A further study with microcalorimetry and dynamic light scattering revealed that the polydiacetylene vesicles first underwent gel-to-fluid transitions, which were followed by event(s) responsible for the colorimetric transitions. Energies required for each event were quantified from analysis of the peaks in the microcalorimetry thermograms. The inclusion of cholesterol in the vesicles decreased both the gel-to-fluid and the colorimetric transition temperatures, suggesting that the colorimetric transition of the polydiacetylene vesicles was mediated by the former event although the event was not the direct reason for the color change.

본 연구에서는 폴리다이아세틸렌(polydiacetylene, PDA) 베시클을 이용하여 여러 가지 킬레이트제(chelating agent)를 쉽게 검출할 수 있는 센서 시스템을 개발하였다. 다른 센서들과 비교하여 PDA기반 센서는 많은 장점이 있다. 첫째로, 형광물질의 부착이 필요 없는 무표지 검출(label-free detection)이 가능하여 실험 절차가 간단하고 빠르다. 둘째로, PDA는 청색에서 외부 자극에 의해 적색으로 변화하는 색전이를 일으키므로 육안으로 쉽게 검출을 확인할 수 있었다. 끝으로, 특정 파장에서의 colorimetric response를 측정하여 각각의 킬레이트제의 농도에 따른 정량검출도 가능하다. 본 연구에서는 5가지 종류의 킬레이트제, 즉 EDTA, EGTA, NTA, DCTA, DTPA를 PDA 베시클과 반응시켰으며, 이중에서 EDTA, DCTA는 특히 강한 반응으로 PDA의 색전이를 유도함을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구를 통하여 PDA 베시클을 사용하여 어떠한 기계나 동력을 사용하지 않고 색전이를 이용하여 킬레이트를 성공적으로 검출할 수 있음을 보여주었다.

Novel rhodamine 6G fluorescent chemosensors 1 and 2 for the detection of transition metal cations were synthesized through the condensation of rhodamine 6G ethylenediamine with each of 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde and 2,6-pyridinedicarbaldehyde, respectively. 1 and 2 were characterized using $^{13}C$ NMR, $^1H$ NMR and mass spectroscopy. Fluorometric and colorimetric measurements involving various metal ions revealed the ring opening of the rhodamine 6G spirocycle framework. In the absence of metal cations, 2 was colorless and non-fluorescent, whereas the addition of metal cations ($Hg^{2+}$ and others) changed the color to pink, accompanied by the appearance of an orange fluorescence. The chemosensors exhibited high selectivity for $Hg^{2+}$ over other divalent first-row transition metals. The complexes of $Hg^{2+}$ with 1 and 2 were successfully isolated. A huge enhancement in the fluorescence for both one- and two-photon excitations makes these compounds suitable candidates to be used for fluorescent labeling of biological systems.

A novel binding site for metal ion made by designing molecule with tetrazolo quinoline with hydrazine carboxamide (TQC) and the designed molecule successfully synthesized. The probe works by selectively detecting Al3+ ion via both fluorimetric and colorimetric approach. The probe's effectiveness towards aluminium ion detection is highly sensitive and selective with no substantial interference with other competing ions. The added Al3+ ion to TQC fetched a rapid change of visual color to yellow from colorless, also the response of fluorescence turn-on. The fluorescence turn-on and color change visibly by the probe TQC with Al3+ ion credited to the ICT phenomenon (intramolecular charge-transfer transition). The likely interaction of the probe with aluminium ion has also been there predicted from ESI-MS spectral analysis results. The usefulness of the probe confirmed by practical utility by making a test kit to monitor Al3+ ion in water which showed a naked eye detection by notable color change.

In this study, we propose a novel approach for rapid and accurate pathogen detection by integrating Polydiacetylene (PDA) hydrogel sensors with advanced deep learning algorithms and visualization techniques. PDA hydrogel sensors exhibit a color transition in the presence of pathogens, enabling straightforward and quick pathogen detection. We developed a reliable pathogen detection system that combines deep neural network algorithms with color quantification technology for image-based analysis. This image-based system retains the ease of pathogen detection offered by PDA sensors while deriving quantified color standards to overcome the limitations of human visual assessment, enhancing reliability. This advancement contributes to public health and the development and application of pathogen detection technology.

Diacetylene lipid monomers possess the capability to self-assemble into vesicles via polymerization under ultraviolet irradiation, resulting in the formation of polydiacetylene (PDA) liposomes. Exposure of the polymerized vesicles to external stimuli is known to induce a unique blue-to-red color transition. The cyclic oligosaccharide ${\alpha}$-cyclodextrin known for its use in many applications, such as drug delivery, purification, and stimulus sensing, is able to form an inclusion complex with poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) in aqueous solution. In this study, we prepared polymeric liposomes with PEG (PEG-PDA) with the aim of improving the stability of the vesicles and colorimetric response toward ${\alpha}$-cyclodextrin. We demonstrated that PEG-PDA liposome displays unique characteristics compared with native PDA liposome and it also shows apparent chromic properties of the inclusion complex formation with ${\alpha}$-cyclodextrin.

This study investigated the optical characterization of water types based on Jerlov's classification, employing the CIE colorimetric system. Digital visualization techniques were applied to articulate watercolor manifestations intuitively. The L^* luminance parameter exhibited a discernible reduction from optical water type I III and from type 1 to 9, registering a range between 66 and 84. Analysis of color attributes in each optical water type revealed that in the transition from type I to III, the color a^* values spanned from -7.43 to -8.32, while color b^* values ranged from -2.97 to -3.33. a^* values for optical water types 1 to 9 varied between -6.28 and -10.50, with corresponding b^* values ranging from -2.51 to -4.20. Consequently, optical water type I, IA, IB, II, and III were discretely categorized by independent color values, as were optical water types 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9. The digitized representation of watercolor in this inquiry facilitated comprehensive information asso,o;atopm. The study highlights limitations in Jerlov's classification for representing watercolors in different ocean conditions. It emphasized the need to collect color data from various marine areas and formulate a novel color standard or method for comparing colors.
