Article Abstract
A new colorimetric and ratiometric fluorescence chemosensor 4-((3-(octadecylthio)-1,4-dioxo-1,4-dihydronaphthalen-2-yl)amino)benzenesulfonamide (4DBS) was synthesized and investigated for the selective detection of Hg in DMSO-HO (9:1, v/v) solution. The chemosensor was efficiently synthesized in two steps via Michael-like addition and nucleophilic substitution reactions. The ratiometric fluorescence turn-on response was obtained towards Hg, and its fluorescence emission peak was red-shifted by 140 nm with an associated color change from light maroon to pale yellow due to the intramolecular charge transfer effect. The formed coordination metal complex was further evaluated by FT-IR, H NMR, and quantum chemical analyses to confirm the binding mechanism. The detection process was sensitive/reversible, and the calculated limit of detection for Hg was 0.451 µM. Furthermore, 4DBS was effectively utilized as a bioimaging agent for detection of Hg in live cells and zebrafish larvae. Additionally, 4DBS showed distinguishing detection of Hg in cancer cells in comparison with normal cells. Thus, 4DBS could be employed as an efficient bioimaging probe for discriminative identification of human cancer cells.

The antibiotic contamination in aquatic environments, particularly in aquaculture systems, poses substantial risks to ecological balance and human health. To address this issue, we engineered a novel ratiometric fluorescent probe utilizing dual-emission carbon dots (D-CDs) synthesized from sustainable biomass carrot and nitrogen-rich precursors (melamine and o-phenylenediamine) through an efficient one-pot hydrothermal approach. The D-CDs exhibited dual emission peaks at 425nm and 540 nm under 370nm excitation.

Singlet oxygen (O) plays a crucial role in cancer chemotherapy and ROS biology, driving the need for highly specific probes to monitor its dynamics in real time. Herein, we developed the ratiometric fluorescent probe NAP-t-PY, utilizing a 2-pyridone recognition unit. The probe's 1-methyl-3-benzyl-2-pyridone moiety reacts specifically with O [4 + 2] cycloaddition, forming the endoperoxide NAP-t-PY-EP.
