[0028] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this application are as follows:

[0029] This invention proposes a one-step method for preparing fluorescent single-chain polymer nanoparticles. First, hydrophobic cyanobrythril methacrylate monomer ((Z)-2-(2-(2-(2-(4-(2-cyano-2-)) is used. (3,4,5-Tris(dodecyloxy)phenyl)vinyl)hydroxyethoxy)ethoxy)ethoxy)ethoxy)ethyl methacrylate) was copolymerized with hydrophilic polyethylene glycol monomethyl ether methacrylate monomer to obtain a random copolymer. In the single-chain aggregated state of this random copolymer, the hydrophobic cyanostylene moiety can simultaneously have both ordered stacking and monomolecular dispersion states. The ordered stacked cyanostylene moiety undergoes intermolecular [2+2] cycloaddition under light irradiation, achieving intra-chain crosslinking of the polymer chain without the need for additional crosslinking agents. The dispersed cyanostylene moiety undergoes intramolecular cyclization under light irradiation to produce phenanthrene derivatives with strong fluorescence properties, achieving strong fluorescence properties without the need for post-modification of fluorescent moiety moiety. Therefore, a "one-step" preparation method for fluorescent polymer single-chain nanoparticles has been achieved. At the same time, this "one-step" preparation method for fluorescent polymer single-chain nanoparticles can simulate the changes in structure and function during protein folding.

[0034] The realization of the purpose, functional features and advantages of this application will be further explained in conjunction with the embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. Detailed Implementation

[0035] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the technical solutions of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0036] The first embodiment of the present invention provides fluorescent single-chain polymer nanoparticles, which are viscous yellow solids with the following structural formula:

[0037]

[0038] Where x + y = 1.

[0039] The second embodiment of the present invention provides a one-step preparation method for fluorescent single-chain polymer nanoparticles, the preparation method comprising:

[0040] Step S1: Polyethylene glycol methyl ether methacrylate, cyanostilbene methacrylate monomers, and initiator are dissolved in the ninth solvent to obtain a reaction solution. The reaction solution is placed in a dry Schlenk tube under a nitrogen atmosphere and subjected to multiple freeze-vacuum-thaw cycles. Subsequently, the polymerization reaction is carried out by stirring at 73~76℃ for 10~12h. After the reaction is completed, the product is purified by column chromatography to obtain poly((Z)-2-(2-(2-(2-(4-(2-cyano-2-(3,4,5-tris(dodecyloxy)phenyl)vinyl)hydroxyethoxy)ethoxy)ethoxy)ethoxy)ethyl methacrylate-polyethylene glycol methyl ether methacrylate). The ninth solvent can be a tetrahydrofuran solution.

[0041] Step S2: Poly((Z)-2-(2-(2-(2-(4-(2-cyano-2-(3,4,5-tris(dodecyloxy)phenyl)vinyl)hydroxyethoxy)ethoxy)ethoxy)ethoxy)ethyl methacrylate-polyethylene glycol methyl ether methacrylate) is dissolved in water to obtain a copolymer solution. The copolymer solution is irradiated under a UV lamp with a wavelength of 365 nm for 6-12 h and then lyophilized to obtain fluorescent single-chain polymer nanoparticles.

[0042] In this embodiment, a random copolymer was obtained by copolymerizing hydrophobic cyanostilbene methacrylate monomer with hydrophilic polyethylene glycol monomethyl ether methacrylate monomer. In the single-chain aggregated state of this random copolymer, the hydrophobic cyanostilbene moieties can simultaneously exhibit both ordered stacking and monomolecular dispersion. The ordered stacked cyanostilbene moieties undergo intermolecular [2+2] cycloaddition under light irradiation, achieving intramolecular crosslinking of the polymer chain. Meanwhile, the dispersed cyanostilbene moieties undergo intramolecular cyclization under light irradiation, producing phenanthrene derivatives with strong fluorescence properties. Therefore, a one-step method for preparing fluorescent polymer single-chain nanoparticles was achieved. This one-step method for preparing fluorescent polymer single-chain nanoparticles can not only simulate the structural and functional changes during protein folding, but also demonstrates the molecular folding of fluorescent single-chain polymer nanoparticles. Figure 1 ,from Figure 1It can be seen that the synthesized copolymer first collapses in water to form loose nanospheres. Under the irradiation of a 365 nm ultraviolet lamp, the ordered stacked cyanostyrene units undergo intermolecular [2+2] cycloaddition under light conditions, which can realize intramolecular crosslinking of polymer chains. Meanwhile, the dispersed cyanostyrene units undergo intramolecular cyclization under light conditions to produce phenanthrene derivatives with strong fluorescence properties, thus successfully preparing highly fluorescent single-chain polymer nanoparticles.

[0043] The preparation method of cyanostilbene methacrylate monomer in step S1 specifically includes the following steps:

[0044] Step S11: 3,4,5-trihydroxybenzaldehyde, 1-bromododecane, tetrabutylammonium iodide, and potassium carbonate in a molar ratio of 1:3:0.1:(3~1):5:0.2:8 are dissolved in a first solvent, and the mixture is stirred to carry out the first substitution reaction at a temperature of 80~85℃ for 12-24h. After the reaction solution is cooled to room temperature, the product is obtained, and the product of the substitution reaction is purified. The specific process is as follows: N,N-dimethylformamide solvent is removed by low-pressure evaporation, followed by extraction with dichloromethane, then drying with anhydrous magnesium sulfate, followed by rotary evaporation to remove the solvent, and then separation and purification by column chromatography to obtain a white solid 3,4,5-tris(dodecyloxy)benzaldehyde. The first solvent can be an N,N-dimethylformamide solution.

[0045] In bromoalkanes, the bromine atom is readily replaced by other polar groups under polar conditions (such as an alkaline environment). Because the bromine atom has a strong electron-attracting ability, the C-Br bond possesses a certain degree of polarity. When this polar bond encounters the hydroxyl group of 3,4,5-trihydroxybenzaldehyde, the bromine atom can be replaced by the hydroxyl group. Potassium carbonate provides the alkaline environment, and tetrabutylammonium iodide acts as a phase transfer catalyst. If the ratio of 1-bromododecane to 3,4,5-trihydroxybenzaldehyde is less than 3:1, the hydroxyl group will not be completely replaced, easily yielding mono- or di-substituted products.

[0046] In step S12, 3,4,5-tris(dodecyloxy)benzaldehyde and lithium aluminum hydride, in a molar ratio of 1:1~2, are dissolved in a second solvent to obtain a 3,4,5-tris(dodecyloxy)benzaldehyde solution and a lithium aluminum hydride solution. The lithium aluminum hydride solution is slowly added dropwise to the above benzaldehyde derivative solution at -5~5℃ and stirred to carry out the reduction reaction. During the reaction, the mixture is first stirred in an ice bath for 0.5~1h, and then stirred at room temperature for 2~3h. After the reaction is completed, water is added to quench the reaction and the mixture is purified. The specific process is as follows: the second solvent is removed by low-pressure distillation, followed by extraction with dichloromethane, then drying with anhydrous magnesium sulfate and rotary evaporation to remove the solvent, and then separation and purification by column chromatography to obtain a white solid 3,4,5-tris(dodecyloxy)benzyl alcohol. The second solvent can be a tetrahydrofuran solution.

[0047] In this process, the carbonyl group of the benzaldehyde derivative first undergoes a nucleophilic addition reaction with a hydroxide ion to form a benzyl alcohol anion intermediate. Subsequently, the hydride anion transfers from lithium aluminum hydride to the benzyl alcohol anion intermediate, forming benzyl alcohol and a lithium salt. Lithium aluminum hydride acts as a basic reducing agent. If the ratio is less than 1:1, the benzaldehyde derivative cannot be completely reduced; if the ratio is greater than 1:2, benzaldehyde is easily over-reduced, generating byproducts such as methyl compounds.

[0048] In step S13, 3,4,5-tris(dodecyloxy)benzyl alcohol and phosphorus tribromide in a molar ratio of 1:1~2 are dissolved in a third solvent to obtain 3,4,5-tris(dodecyloxy)benzyl alcohol solution and phosphorus tribromide solution, respectively. The phosphorus tribromide solution is slowly added dropwise to the above benzyl alcohol derivative solution at -5~5℃, and the reaction is stirred to carry out the second substitution reaction at room temperature for 3~4 hours. After the reaction is completed, water is added to quench the reaction and the solution is purified. The specific process is as follows: the reaction solution after adding water is extracted with dichloromethane, then dried with anhydrous magnesium sulfate and the solvent is removed by rotary evaporation. The solution is then purified by column chromatography to obtain a white solid 5-(bromomethyl)-1,2,3-tris(dodecyloxy)benzene. The third solvent can be a dichloromethane solution.

[0049] In this process, the hydroxyl group of the benzyl alcohol derivative is replaced by a bromine atom to form bromobenzene. Phosphorus tribromide serves as both a bromine donor and a catalyst.

[0050] In step S14, 5-(bromomethyl)-1,2,3-tris(dodecyloxy)benzene, trimethylcyanosilane, and tetrabutylammonium fluoride in a molar ratio of 1:1.2:(0.2-1):1.5:1.5 are dissolved in a fourth solvent, and the first nucleophilic substitution reaction is carried out by stirring at room temperature for 3-4 h. After the reaction, purification is performed. The specific process is as follows: the fourth solvent is removed first, followed by extraction with dichloromethane, then drying with anhydrous magnesium sulfate, followed by rotary evaporation to remove the solvent, and then separation and purification by column chromatography to obtain a white solid 3,4,5-tris(dodecyloxy)phenylacetonitrile. The fourth solvent can be acetonitrile.

[0051] In this process, tetrabutylammonium fluoride releases fluoride ions, which break the carbon-silicon bond and activate trimethylcyanosilane to release cyanide ions. The cyanide ions then undergo an SN2 nucleophilic substitution reaction with bromobenzene, where the bromine is replaced by the cyano group, generating a phenylacetonitrile derivative. Trimethylcyanosilane provides the cyano group, and tetrabutylammonium fluoride acts as a phase transfer catalyst.

[0052] Step S15: Dissolve tetraethylene glycol and triethylamine in a fifth solvent to obtain a first mixed solution. Dissolve 4-toluenesulfonyl chloride in the fifth solvent to obtain a 4-toluenesulfonyl chloride solution. Add the 4-toluenesulfonyl chloride solution dropwise to the first mixed solution at -5 to 5°C. The molar ratio of tetraethylene glycol, 4-toluenesulfonyl chloride, and triethylamine dissolved in dichloromethane is 1:1:(1.1~4):1:1.2. After the addition is complete, continue stirring at room temperature to carry out the second nucleophilic substitution reaction (SN2) for 0.5~1 h. After the reaction is completed, purification is carried out. The specific process is as follows: add sodium bicarbonate to neutralize the pH, extract with dichloromethane, dry with anhydrous magnesium sulfate, remove the solvent by rotary evaporation, and then separate and purify by column chromatography to obtain an oily liquid p-toluenesulfonate-tetraethylene glycol. The fifth solvent can be a dichloromethane solution.

[0053] In this process, the hydroxyl group of tetraethylene glycol acts as a nucleophile, attacking the sulfur atom of 4-toluenesulfonyl chloride to generate p-toluenesulfonate-tetraethylene glycol, while triethylamine acts as a base to capture the byproduct hydrogen chloride, preventing acidification of the system. Since tetraethylene glycol has two hydroxyl sites, it needs to be in excess to achieve monohydroxyl esterification.

[0054] Step S16: p-Toluenesulfonate-tetraethylene glycol, p-hydroxybenzaldehyde, and potassium carbonate in a molar ratio of 1:1:(2~1.1):1:3 are dissolved in the sixth solvent and stirred to carry out the first nucleophilic addition reaction. The reaction temperature is 80~85℃ and the reaction time is 12~24h. After the reaction solution is cooled to room temperature, it is purified. The specific process is as follows: the sixth solvent is removed, followed by extraction with dichloromethane, then drying with anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and then removing the solvent by rotary evaporation. Finally, the solution is purified by column chromatography to obtain an oily liquid 4-(2-(2-(2-(2-hydroxyethoxy)ethoxy)ethoxy)ethoxy)benzaldehyde. The sixth solvent can be N,N-dimethylformamide solution.

[0055] In this process, the hydroxyl group acts as a nucleophile to attack the carbonyl carbon of p-toluenesulfonate, forming an intermediate, and then the sulfonate group is released as a leaving group.

[0056] Step S17: Dissolve 3,4,5-tris(dodecyloxy)phenylacetonitrile and 4-(2-(2-(2-(2-hydroxyethoxy)ethoxy)ethoxy)ethoxy)benzaldehyde in a seventh solvent (a mixture of ethanol and tetrabutylammonium hydroxide in a volume ratio of 20-30:1) at a molar ratio of 1-1.2:1. Stir to carry out the second nucleophilic addition reaction and dehydration reaction at a temperature of 40-50°C for 12-24 hours. After the reaction, purification is performed. The specific process is as follows: first, the seventh solvent is removed, followed by extraction with dichloromethane, then drying with anhydrous magnesium sulfate, followed by rotary evaporation to remove the solvent, and finally purification by column chromatography to obtain a yellow solid (Z)-3-(4-(2-(2-(2-(2-hydroxyethoxy)ethoxy)ethoxy)ethoxy)phenyl) -2-(3,4,5-tris(dodecyloxy)phenyl)acrylonitrile; wherein, the seventh solvent can be a mixed solution of ethanol and tetrabutylammonium hydroxide, wherein the volume ratio of ethanol to tetrabutylammonium hydroxide is 20~30:1.

[0057] In this process, the carbon atom near the alkynyl hydrogen atom in the phenylacetonitrile derivative acts as a nucleophile to attack the carbonyl carbon in the benzaldehyde derivative, forming a four-membered ring intermediate. The intermediate then undergoes a dehydration reaction (generating one molecule of water) to form a double bond in cyanostilbene, a process involving the removal of hydroxide ions.

[0058] Step S18: Dissolve (Z)-3-(4-(2-(2-(2-(2-hydroxyethoxy)ethoxy)ethoxy)phenyl)-2-(3,4,5-tris(dodecyloxy)phenyl)acrylonitrile and triethylamine in the eighth solvent to obtain a second mixed solution; dissolve methacryloyl chloride in the eighth solvent to obtain a methacryloyl chloride solution; (Z)-3-(4-(2-(2-(2-(2-hydroxyethoxy)ethoxy)ethoxy)phenyl) The molar ratio of -2-(3,4,5-tris(dodecyloxy)phenyl)acrylonitrile, methacryloyl chloride, and triethylamine is 1:3:3. A methacryloyl chloride solution is slowly added dropwise to the above acrylonitrile derivative solution at -5 to 5°C. After the addition is complete, the mixture is stirred at room temperature for 12 hours to carry out the third nucleophilic substitution reaction. After the reaction is complete, the reaction is quenched with water and then purified. The specific process is as follows: extraction with dichloromethane, drying with anhydrous magnesium sulfate, rotary evaporation to remove the solvent, and then separation and purification by column chromatography to obtain a yellow solid (Z)-2-(2-(2-(2-(4-(2-cyano-2-(3,4,5-tris(dodecyloxy)phenyl)vinyl)hydroxyethoxy)ethoxy)ethoxy)ethoxy)ethyl methacrylate, i.e., cyanostilbene methacrylate monomer. The eighth solvent can be dichloromethane solution. The structural formula of the cyanostilbene methacrylate monomer is:

[0059]

[0060] A second embodiment of the present invention provides the application of fluorescent single-chain polymer nanoparticles in catalysts, biosensors, nanoreactors, or nanomedicines.

[0061] Example 1

[0062] In step S10, 1.8 g of methyl 3,4,5-trihydroxybenzoate, 9.74 g of 1-bromododecane, 0.1 g of tetrabutylammonium iodide, 10.7 g of K2CO3, and 50 mL of N,N-dimethylformamide were added to a 100 mL round-bottom flask and stirred overnight at a constant temperature of 80 °C. After the reaction was completed and cooled to room temperature, most of the N,N-dimethylformamide solvent was removed by vacuum distillation. Then, the mixture was extracted 2-3 times with 50 mL of dichloromethane, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and the solvent was removed by rotary evaporation. The mixture was then purified by column chromatography (eluent: hexane: ethyl acetate = 5:1) to obtain a purified white solid, 3,4,5-tris(dodecyloxy)benzaldehyde.

[0063] Step S20: Add 6.2 g of 3,4,5-trihydroxybenzaldehyde and 20 mL of tetrahydrofuran to a reaction flask. Stir at 0 °C for 20 min. Then, add 13 mL of a lithium aluminum hydride tetrahydrofuran solution to a constant pressure dropping funnel and slowly add it dropwise to a round-bottom flask (controlling the dropping time to 1 h). Continue stirring in an ice bath for 30 min, then transfer to room temperature and continue stirring for 2 h. Monitor the reaction progress using thin-layer chromatography. After the reaction is complete, slowly add a small amount of water to quench it, and remove most of the solvent by vacuum distillation.
