Article Abstract
A novel highly selective and sensitive turn-on fluorescent chemosensor PCE to recognize Zn has been developed. The sensor PCE displays a remarkable fluorescent enhancement at 456 nm (λ = 340 nm) with Zn without the interference of other biologically important relevant metal ions in aqueous acetonitrile solution. Job's plot and mass spectral studies divulge such the interaction of PCE by Zn was 1:1 binding stoichiometry. The association constant and detection limit of PCE to recognize Zn was found to be 0.948 × 10 M and 4.82 × 10 M respectively. The nature of turn-on fluorescence sensor was supported by TD-DFT calculations. And the synthesized probe PCE was able to image intracellular Zn in living cells using confocal imaging techniques. PCE-Zn ensemble showed the remarkable fluorescence enhancement with ATP selectively among other biologically important phosphates. P NMR experiments suggesting that the triphosphates unit of ATP is intact with the PCEZn. PCE-Zn ensemble can be utilized for monitoring ATP in live cells.

This work presents the development of a highly sensitive, selective, and efficient aptamer-based fluorescent sensor for detecting cortisol in human urine. Carbon quantum dots-nucleic acid aptamer (CQDs-Apt) synthesized with excellent photoluminescent properties and stability, were selected as the fluorescent probe. In the presence of MoS-NSs, CQDs-Apt adsorbed onto the surface of MoS-NSs via electrostatic and π-π interactions, leading to strong and rapid fluorescence quenching due to static quenching mechanism between them.

The long-term visualization of intracellular Fe dynamics and lysosomal activity is crucial for investigating the physiological roles and functions of lysosomes during the growth of organisms. The lysosome-targeted fluorescent probe (RBH-EdC), derived from rhodamine-nucleoside conjugates, demonstrates a sophisticated dual-activation design: one is Fe⁺ response, triggering spirolactam ring-opening to form xanthine structures, resulting in ≥ 1000-fold fluorescence enhancement with visible colorimetric transition (colorless→pink). Another is pH sensitivity, demonstrating protonation-dependent fluorescence amplification at the dC at site N3 (pK= 2.

In recent years, fluorescence-switchable molecules have garnered significant attention as fluorescent dyes for super-resolution fluorescence microscopy, which is increasingly demanded in the field of biochemical imaging. Among such molecules, diarylethene-S,S,S',S'-tetraoxide derivatives have proven particularly promising due to their ability to achieve high contrast fluorescence switching. Diarylethenes incorporating perfluorocyclopentene as the ethene bridge have become the standard scaffold due to their excellent fatigue resistance and thermal stability.

Nitric oxide (NO) is one of the crucial biological signaling molecules, yet achieving its selective and spatiotemporal detection in in-situ/invitro or biological systems at specific pH remains a significant challenge. Hence, a probe capable of directly detecting NO would be immensely valuable in understanding its reactivity and biological functions. Here, to develop a Cu(II)-based probe for selective NO detection, we synthesized a Cu(II)-complex (1) using a N3-tridentate ligand having a pendant dansyl fluorophore (L) and evaluated it's NO reactivity under varying pH conditions.

This study reports the synthesis, characterization, and multifunctional sensing capabilities of a novel quinoline-based Schiff base ligand (L), designed for selective and sensitive detection of Ni, Cu, Zn ions, and CO⁻ anions. L exhibits distinct colorimetric responses visible to the naked eye-pale yellow to amber red for Ni, caramel brown for Cu, and canary yellow for Zn-enabling efficient and straightforward detection. Fluorescence studies reveal a selective green fluorescence "turn-on" response for Zn, complemented by fluorescence quenching in the presence of CO⁻, demonstrating the ligand's reusability and robustness.
