Journal Article
Luo, F., Shen, L., Zhang, J., Huang, Y., Chen, T., Xu, H., Zhang, Q., Redshaw, C., & Feng, X. (2023). Nanoarchitectonics of the aggregation-induced emission luminescent molecule Tetraphenylethylene-COOH (TPE-COOH): Fluorescence imaging of targeted cancer microsphere cells. Dyes and pigments : an international journal, 214, Article 111192. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.dyepig.2023.111192

Cancer microspheres are an ideal cellular model for studying cancer stem cells. However, the lack of effective and rapid fluorescent imaging reagents for cancer microspheres has severely hampered cytological studies associated with cancer microsphere...

Supramolecular Polymeric Material Based on Twisted Cucurbit[14]uril: Sensitive Detection and Removal of Potential Cyanide from Water (2022)
Journal Article
Zhang, W., Luo, Y., Zhu, P. H., Ni, X. L., Redshaw, C., Tao, Z., & Xiao, X. (2022). Supramolecular Polymeric Material Based on Twisted Cucurbit[14]uril: Sensitive Detection and Removal of Potential Cyanide from Water. ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, https://doi.org/10.1021/acsami.2c10866

Potassium ferricyanide in an aqueous solution is easily decomposed into highly toxic substances (potassium cyanide and hydrogen cyanide) by light or alkaline action, which poses a major hazard to environmental and human health. Here, a reticulated ag... Read More about Supramolecular Polymeric Material Based on Twisted Cucurbit[14]uril: Sensitive Detection and Removal of Potential Cyanide from Water.

A cucurbit[6]uril-carbon dot system: a potentially new bioimaging agent. (2022)
Journal Article
Zhang, S., Tian, Y., Liu, M., Hong-Meng, T., Li, C. R., Zeng, X., Xiao, X., & Redshaw, C. (2022). A cucurbit[6]uril-carbon dot system: a potentially new bioimaging agent. Materials Chemistry Frontiers, 6, 973-980. https://doi.org/10.1039/d2qm00022a

We report novel cucurbit[6]uril (Q[6])/carbon quantum dots (CQDs) prepared by solvothermal and nitrogen doped methods. The m-Q[6]-CQDs have been characterized by FTIR, XRD and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The obtained m-Q[6]-CQDs exhibit good wa...

Synthesis, crystal structure and bioactivity of phenazine-1-carboxylic acylhydrazone derivatives (2021)
Journal Article
Wu, S., Liang, X., Luo, F., Liu, H., Shen, L., Yang, X., Huang, Y., Xu, H., Wu, N., Zhang, Q., & Redshaw, C. (2021). Synthesis, crystal structure and bioactivity of phenazine-1-carboxylic acylhydrazone derivatives. Molecules, 26(17), Article 5320. https://doi.org/10.3390/molecules26175320

A phenazine-1-carboxylic acid intermediate was synthesized from the reaction of aniline and 2-bromo-3-nitro-benzoic acid. It was then esterified and reacted with hydrazine hydrate to afford phenazine-1-carboxylic hydrazine. Finally, 10 new hydrazone...
