A switch-on luminescent europium(III) probe for selective and time-resolved detection of adenosine diphosphate (ADP)
We present a novel luminescent europium(III) probe for highly selective ADP detection with minimal ATP interference. It enables unprecedented ADP sensing in physiologically relevant ranges, facilitating in vitro and cellular imaging applications.

Engineering perfluoroarenes for enhanced molecular barrier effect and chirality transfer in solutions
In diluted solution-based assemblies, the derivatives of perfluoroarenes perform as efficient molecular barriers to perylene building units, lighting up luminescence.
About this collection
Chemical Science is celebrating its 15th anniversary in 2025! To celebrate we are publishing this special collection showcasing work from leading investigators from across all areas of chemistry who started their independent careers in the 15 years since Chemical Science was launched. We hope that you enjoy reading this selection of articles, and that we can continue to provide an open and inclusive venue for researchers from across the chemical sciences for many years to come.
The 15th Anniversary: Chemical Science Leading Investigators collection accompanies our 15th Anniversary: Community collection, which features work from our valued Chemical Science community including frequent authors, trusted reviewers, and Board members past and present.
