Article Abstract
Copper deficiency can adversely impact health, and using copper cookware can help supplement copper ions. In this study, we have developed a fluorescent Cu(II) sensor using an efficient DNAzyme, a novel cofactor 2-mercaptoethanol and an optimized fluorophore. This sensor has demonstrated high sensitivity, with a linear detection range of 30 nM-50 μM and a detection limit of 3.4 nM. Furthermore, it has shown high selectivity for Cu(II) ions and possesses excellent anti-interference ability against 10,000-fold excess of Ca(II) and Mg(II), These features allow the sensor suitable for quantitatively detecting Cu(II) in a copper pot, where a maximum Cu(II) concentration of 40.0 μM was achieved upon the addition of pickled cucumber. Our findings suggest that acidic conditions are beneficial for increasing Cu(II) content in the cooking medium. This provides a scientific basis for using copper cookware as a means to increase dietary copper intake.

A novel silica-based sorbent, silica-carbazole-formazan (Si-Carb-Formazan), was synthesized through in situ functionalization with a newly prepared carbazole formazan derivative to remove Cu-(II) ions from aqueous solutions efficiently. The sorbent was characterized using techniques such as FTIR, SEM, TGA, and XPS, which revealed a porous structure with a high surface area and excellent thermal stability. Batch adsorption experiments analyzed the influence of various factors on the sorbent's performance, demonstrating its high efficiency.

With the aim of assessing the role and impact of pseudohalides on the molecular and supramolecular structures of copper(II)/heavily substituted imidazole complexes, the synthesis and characterization of the complexes {[Cu(N)(HL)]} (1), {[Cu{N(CN)}(HL)]·MeCO} (2·MeCO) and [Cu(NCO)(HL)]·MeCN (3·MeCN) have been carried out; HL is the 4,5-diphenylimidazole ligand. The organic molecule behaves as a monodentate ligand through the pyridine-type nitrogen atom of the imidazole ring. The 1D polymer 1 is made up of undulating {-Cu-(N)-Cu-(N)-} chains, with the HL ligands extending from both sides of the chains.

This study details the synthesis of a novel ligand, ()-5-chloro-'-(2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzylidene) thiophene-2-carbohydrazide ligand (for short, H2L), and its tetranuclear Cu(II) complex (Cu4L4), together with their X-ray crystal structures and the magnetic properties and EPR spectra of Cu4L4 within the 4-300 K temperature range. Furthermore, we report the spectroscopic characterization (FTIR and UV-Vis) of the compounds and perform a Hirshfeld analysis of their non-covalent interactions, along with certain quantum chemical calculations. H2L crystallizes in the monoclinic space group with = 8 molecules per unit cell and the Cu4L4 complex crystallizes in the tetragonal space group 4/ with = 4.

The rational design of functional and sustainable polymers is central to addressing global environmental challenges. In this context, unmodified lignin derived from Sarkanda grass (), an abundant agro-industrial lignocellulosic byproduct, was systematically investigated as a natural polymeric adsorbent for the remediation of aqueous media contaminated with heavy metals. The study evaluates lignin's behavior toward nine metal(loid) ions: arsenic, cadmium, chromium, cobalt, copper, iron, nickel, lead, and zinc.

Developing on-line hyphenated technique for the sensitive and accurate monitoring of heavy metal ions (HMs) is significant and interesting. In this connection, magnetic field-enhanced in-tube solid phase microextraction technique (ME/IT-SPME) was on-line hyphenated with HPLC system for the simultaneously quantitative analysis of Ni(II), Co(II), Cu(II), Hg(II), Cr(III) and Cr(VI) in various environmental samples. To enhance the ultraviolet sensitivity, the studied HMs were reacted with sodium diethyldithiocarbamate trihydrate (DDTC) to form HMs/DDTC complexes.
