Article Abstract

In the present investigation, we have designed and synthesised Zn sensitive Julolidine-hydrazone (JSB) based chemosensor, which crystallised in a monoclinic crystal system with P21/c space group. The bare JSB was nonemissive, but in the presence of Zn ions in solution it showed emission, ascribed to the chelation enhanced emission process, which is also utilised to detect Zn in water samples. Comparing the chromaticity coordinates deduced from the emission colors of the JSB-Zn in solution, powder and hybrid polymer thin film, using CIE (Commission Internationale de I'Eclairage 1931) chromaticity diagram, it was found that compared to the emission of the solution, the emission of the powder was red shifted, while that of the thin film was blue shifted. Further, the sensing of Zn showed reversibility in the presence of pyrophosphate (PPi), which allowed quantification of PPi. Interestingly, in addition to the detection of PPi using the in-situ formed JSB-Zn complex, the process was selective and discriminated PPi from ADP and ATP. The detection of PPi was rationalized via a decomplexation reaction, and translated in the construction of INHIBIT logic gate. Additionally, the possible use of the JSB coated sensor paper for the on-site detection of Zn and subsequent JSB-Zn complex for PPi ions has been demonstrated. The experimental results showed good correlation with the theoretical calculations wherever possible.

Recently, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have shown high potential in the field of sensing. However, fluorescent-based detection with MOFs in solution needs complex pre-treatments and has stability issues, complicating measurements and handling for sensing applications. Here, an easy-to-handle and low-cost strategy is introduced to convert MOF-based sensing from solution to surface using scanning probe lithography.

The development of flexible gas sensors is of growing interest in wearable electronics. However, developing a gas sensor with low operating temperature, high sensitivity, and rapid response remains a huge challenge. Herein, we first develop a polyacrylamide-sodium acrylate-sodium citrate (PAM-Na-SC) hydrogel electrolyte, and design a hydrogel-based nitrogen dioxide (NO) gas sensor enabled by zinc-air batteries (ZABs).

Glutamate (Glu) plays a critical role in the brain, and the ability to directly measure glutamate activity is essential for understanding its physiological functions and pathological processes. Herein, we engineered a family of Glu sensors () based on host-guest interactions through the indicator displacement method (IDA) strategy. The optimized supramolecular chemosensor exhibited specificity, sensitivity, signal-to-noise ratio, rapid kinetics (∼145 ms), and photostability, enabling it to be suitable for monitoring Glu dynamics in neuronal organelles, brain tissues, and zebrafish.

Two new Schiff base ligands (L1 and L2) were synthesized by condensing thiocarbohydrazide (TCH) with o-anisaldehyde or p-anisaldehyde in ethanol. Their mono- and bi-nuclear complexes with Sn(II), Zn(II), and Fe(II) were prepared for potential fluorescence and biological applications. Characterization was performed using FT-IR, NMR, UV-Vis spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, molar conductance, TGA, X-ray diffraction and SEM.

The detection of aliphatic and aromatic biogenic amines (BAs) is important in food spoilage, environmental monitoring, and disease diagnosis and treatment. Existing fluorescent probes predominantly detect aliphatic BAs with single signal variation and low sensitivity, impairing the adaptability of discriminative sensing platforms. Herein, we present a visual chemosensor (galactose-functionalized pyrrolopyrrole -BODIPY, ) that simultaneously detects eight aliphatic and aromatic BAs in a real-time and intuitive way based on their unique electronic and structural features.
