    Abstract:
    It is widely known that high-performance electrochemiluminescence (ECL) emitters play a crucial part in improving the detection sensitivity of the ECL strategy. Through the combination of aggregation-induced emission luminogens (AIEgens), 1,1,2,2-tetra(4-carboxylbiphenyl)ethylene (H4 TCBPE) with Zr(IV) cations, a dumbbell plate-shaped metal-organic framework (MOF) with high luminous efficiency is synthesized as ECL tags. The resultant MOF exhibits stronger ECL activity than those of H4 TCBPE monomers and aggregates. Herein, this phenomenon is defined as the coordination-triggered electrochemiluminescence (CT-ECL) enhancement effect. Furthermore, the nearly matched ECL and photoluminescence (PL) spectra imply the bandgap emission mechanism. Remarkably, polyethyleneimine (PEI) as the coreactant is covalently connected with MOF to form the uniquely self-enhanced ECL complex of Zr-TCBPE-PEI, where the robust ECL signal is captured owing to the intramolecular-like coreaction acceleration. Based on the resonance energy transfer (RET) behavior, the AuPd@SiO2 composite is designed as the high-efficiency quencher. In this manner, an innovative and ultrasensitive ECL sensor is constructed for neuron-specific enolase (NSE) detection through sandwich-type immunoreaction, with the detection limit down to 52 fg ml-1 . The present study has gone some way toward designing MOF-based self-luminescent ECL materials, thus paving a new avenue to expand the late-model ECL emitters for immunoassay.
