This study reports the synthesis of three positional isomers (6a-6c) of chalcone-tethered 1,2,3-triazoles the Cu(i)-catalyzed alkyne-azide cycloaddition (CuAAC) reaction. The synthesized probes were comprehensively characterized using FTIR, H and C NMR, and mass spectrometry. Their potential as metal ion sensors was evaluated through UV-vis and fluorescence spectroscopy, revealing high selectivity and sensitivity toward Co(ii) and Cu(ii) ions.

'Click' derived 1,2,3-triazole appended scaffolds are intriguing candidates for selective metal ion recognition because of their stereospecificity and efficiency. The presented report uses the 'click' approach to introduce a glyoxal bis-(2-hydroxyanil)-based chemosensor probe (GT) the CuAAC pathway, which can selectively detect Cu(II) and Pb(II) ions, both of which are among the most hazardous and perturbing environmental pollutants. NMR spectroscopy, IR spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry (LCMS) were used to successfully characterize the synthesized probe.

A new, easy-to-prepare, and highly selective fluorescent chemosensor, , 5-aminoisophthalate-based kojic acid-appended bis-1,2,3-triazole, was synthesized from an alkyne of 5-aminoisophthalic acid and azido-kojic acid using Cu(i)-catalyzed click chemistry and then successfully characterized. The alkyne structure of 5-aminoisophthalic acid, 1, was supported by the single-crystal X-ray crystallographic data. The fluorescent probe 3 was found to be highly selective for Cu ions supported by the Job's plot with a stoichiometric ligand : metal ratio of 2 : 1, exhibiting almost a two-fold enhancement in the emission intensity upon the addition of Cu ions (0-25 μM) with a detection limit of 8.

In this study, two novel chalcone-derived 1,2,3-triazole-appended positional isomers (probe 6 and probe 9) were synthesized the 'CuAAC' (Cu(i) - catalysed alkyne azide cycloaddition) methodology for the purpose of metal ion detection. The synthesized probes underwent characterization utilizing standard spectroscopic methodologies including FTIR, NMR (H and C), and mass spectrometry. Subsequently, the sensing capabilities of these probes were explored using UV-Vis and fluorescence spectroscopy, wherein their selective recognition potential was established for Pb(ii) and Cu(ii), both of which can pose serious health hazards when prevalent in the environment above permissible limits.

In the quest to scrutinize and modify biological systems, the global research community has continued to explore bio-orthogonal click reactions, a set of reactions exclusively targeting non-native molecules within biological systems. These methodologies have brought about a paradigm shift, demonstrating the feasibility of artificial chemical reactions occurring on cellular surfaces, in the cell cytosol, or within the body - an accomplishment challenging to achieve with the majority of conventional chemical reactions. This review delves into the principles of bio-orthogonal click chemistry, contrasting metal-catalyzed and metal-free reactions of bio-orthogonal nature.

Herein, a 1,2,3-triazole derivative (CBT), synthesized using the Copper(i) catalyzed Alkyne Azide Cycloaddition (CuAAC) procedure, based on a chalcone skeleton has been reported, that was implemented as an effective sensor for Pb(ii) and Cu(ii) ions. The synthesized CBT was characterized using spectroscopic techniques such as FTIR, NMR (H and C), and mass spectrometry. The sensing behaviour of CBT was analyzed using UV-Vis spectroscopy, demonstrating selective sensing for Pb(ii) and Cu(ii) ions, competitively.

The present report describes the application of the 'Click Chemistry' pathway to synthesize a fluorescent probe (APT) based on ampyrone (4-aminoantipyrine), entailing two benzyl groups as the fluorophores coupled to the antipyrine structure through 1,2,3-triazole moieties. Infrared spectroscopy (IR), nuclear magnetic resonance (H and C), and mass spectrometry were the standard spectroscopic methods used to characterize APT. The ion recognition potential of the probe was analyzed through absorption and emission spectroscopy employing a 4:1 combination of CHCN and HO, which demonstrated APT to be an efficient sensing agent for Cu(II) ions, wherein the absorption spectrum of the probe displayed a hypsochromic shift with a hyperchromic shift on gradually adding the metal ion solution of Cu(II), whereas quenching of the probe's fluorescence emission on Cu(II) addition was attributed to the chelation-enhanced fluorescence quenching (CHEQ), induced by the d electronic configuration of Cu(II).

Copper(i) catalyzed alkyne azide cycloaddition (CuAAC), the quintessential example of 'click chemistry', provides an adaptable and adequate platform for the synthesis of nanogels for sustained drug release at targeted sites because of their better biocompatibility. The coupling of drugs, carried out various synthetic routes including CuAAC, into long-chain polymeric forms like nanogels has exhibited considerable assurance in therapeutic advancements and intracellular drug delivery due to the progression of water solubility, evacuation of precocious drug release, and improved upthrust of the pharmacokinetics of the nanogels, thereby rendering them as better and efficient drug carriers. The inefficiency of drug transmission to the target areas due to the resistance of complex biological barriers is a major hurdle that impedes the therapeutic translation of nanogels.

Copper(I)-catalyzed alkyne-azide cycloaddition (CuAAC) is a resourceful and stereospecific methodology that has considerably yielded promising 1,2,3-triazole-appended "click" scaffolds with the potential for selective metal ion recognition. Based on "click" methodology, this report presents a chemosensor probe (TCT) based on 4--butylcatechol architecture, via the CuAAC pathway, as a selective and efficient sensor for Pb(II) and Hg(II) ions, categorized as the most toxic and alarming environmental contaminants among the heavy metal ions. The synthesized probe was successfully characterized by spectroscopy [IR and NMR (H and C)] and mass spectrometry.
