Article Abstract

A novel dual-channel chemosensor, 7-allylquinolin-8-ol (AQ), was synthesized based on 8-hydroxyquinoline for selective fluorescence detection of Hg and colorimetric recognition of Cu. The chemosensor reacted with Hg and generated a new Hg-containing compound with significantly enhanced fluorescence, which turned from faint blue to strong green. Further experiments indicated that AQ could be used to quantitatively detect Hg via fluorescence spectroscopy with a low detection limit (2.1 nM). The good reversibility of the synthesized chemosensor was also demonstrated using NaBH. Moreover, AQ was successfully used for the detection of Cu through the formation of a stable coordination compound, which exhibited an ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) ratiometric change, while its color changed from colorless to pale yellow under natural light. Additional experiments using various Cu concentrations showed that the developed chemosensor could be further employed for the quantitative ratiometric estimation of Cu by UV-Vis.

Rationally designing and synthesizing chemosensors capable of simultaneously detecting both anions and cations via water content modulation is challenging. In this study, we synthesized and characterized a novel triazine calixarene derivative-based iodide and copper ion-selective fluorescent "turn-off" sensor. This dual-channeled fluorescent probe is able to recognize Cu and I ions simultaneously in aqueous systems.

Emitters produce weak emissions when they undergo structural changes such as molecular configuration transformation (MCT) or excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) but give out strong emissions after terminating these distortions. Herein, an organoplatinum complex, , carrying a salicylaldehyde-based Schiff base unit is synthesized. It exhibits weak emission in dilute solutions but shows bright emission at the aggregated state or after interacting with F and Zn.

Malononitrile is a very important chemical material and has wide application fields in production of medicines, pesticides, and extraction of gold. However, its nonnegligible hypertoxicity inspired researchers to develop more efficient analysis techniques to sensitively and selectively detect malononitrile. Nopinone derivatives initiated by our research group have been developed as a class of organic fluorescent chemosensors for identifying multiple analytes in recent years.

Background: Detecting and neutralizing Pd ions are a significant challenge due to their cytotoxicity, even at low concentrations. To address this issue, various chemosensors have been designed for advanced detection systems, offering simplicity and the potential to differentiate signals from different analytes. Nonetheless, these chemosensors often suffer from limited emission response and complex synthesis procedures.

A novel cyanine compound based on the conjugated perylene-benzothiazole system (PBI) as a colorimetric and fluorometric dual-channel sensor for cyanide (CN ) detection was synthesized and characterized via UV-vis and fluorescence spectroscopy. PBI exhibited a high sensitivity and rapid optical response for CN due to the intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) mechanism. The detection limit of PBI for CN was 1.
