Article Abstract

A new podand-type dioxaoctanediamide-based chemosensor having two pyrene moieties was prepared, and its fluoroionophoric behaviors toward transition-metal ions were investigated. Pyrene-appended dioxaoctanediamide 1 showed a selective fluorescence quenching toward Hg2+ ions over other transition-metal ions in an aqueous methanol solution. Unique responses in pyrene monomer and excimer emissions allowed selective ratiometric determination of Hg2+ ions in aqueous environments, and the detection limit was found to be 1.6 x 10(-6) M.

Mercury(II) ions (Hg) are one of the most common and highly toxic heavy metal ions, which can contaminate the environment and damage the human health. Therefore, the precise detection of trace Hg concentration is particularly important. Herein, gold nanoparticles-enhanced silver-coated hollow fiber (HF) surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor was developed for the highly sensitive detection of Hg ions.

Background: Water contamination is a global challenge, primarily due to heavy metal ions like lead (Pb), iron (Fe), cadmium (Cd), andmercury (Hg) as well as dyes. These pollutants enter the ecosystem from industrial waste and runoff, accumulate in the environment and pose a high risk to humans, animals and plants. Various sensors, such as colorimetric sensors, and electrochemical sensors have been developed to detect these ions and dyes.

Toxic metal ion contamination poses a significant environmental challenge, severely impacting plant growth, development, and reproduction. To cope with metal-induced stress, plants have evolved diverse molecular and physiological mechanisms. Among these, the xyloglucan endotransglucosylase/hydrolase (XTH) gene family, which encodes enzymes responsible for cell wall remodeling, plays a crucial role in enhancing plant resilience to metal ion stress.

A novel fluorescent and colorimetric probe (L3), based on 2,6-pyridinedicarbohydrazide, was rationally designed and synthesized for the highly selective and reversible detection of Cu²⁺ ions. The structural and optical properties of the probe were comprehensively characterized by FT-IR, ¹H NMR, UV-Vis spectroscopy, fluorescence analysis, ESI⁺-MS, and elemental analysis. The probe L3 displayed a high selectivity, high sensitivity and quick response to Cu ions in the presence of other competing cations including Ba, K, Pb, Hg, Al, Zn, Fe, Tl, Mg, Ni, Nd, Fe, Ag, Ca, Cs, Co, Cd, Sr, and Mn ions).

Whole-cell biosensors are widely used to detect the toxicity of heavy metals owing to their ease of culturing, low cost, and rapid response times. Shewanella species, electrically active microorganisms capable of extracellular electron transfer (EET), are often employed as sensitive bio-elements in biosensors. However, the EET efficiency and heavy metal tolerance of Shewanella species are influenced by various environmental factors, such as pH, carbon sources, and ion concentrations.
