Abstract

Two new chemodosimeters (SA2-Ind and SA2-Thio) were designed and synthesised by coupling Bisthiophene carboxaldehyde fluorophore with the two different electron-withdrawing salt cores. The developed probes exhibited instantaneous, remarkable colour and fluorescence changes selectively with CN- over other anions. The nucleophilic addition of CN- at the imine carbon atom was the sensing mechanism, as evinced by the NMR and HR-MS analyses. The computed low LoD for SA2-Ind (53 nM) and SA2-Thio (0.46 μM) were well below the safe limit established by the WHO, implying the suitability of the probes CN- detection in real samples. The DFT/TD-DFT analyses sturdily verified the experimental observations. The instant colour and fluorescent changes showed by the test-buds coated with the probes, upon contact with CN-, unveiled their on-site monitoring ability. The good recovery percentage (96.6-100%) observed in CN- estimation in three different natural water samples by the spiking method strongly authenticated its applicability in real complex matrices.

Smartphone-assisted dual-mode cyanide ion sensing in environmental and biological matrices using a triphenylamine-quinoline-conjugated chromogenic receptor.

This work presents the efficient recognition of the hazardous chemical cyanide ions (CN- ions) using a newly designed organic molecule-based fluorescent receptor, (E)-4-(4-(diphenylamino)styryl)-1-propylquinolin-1-ium (TAME). CN- ion detection occurs via nucleophilic addition to the styryl group, inducing distinct elec...

A Novel Benzimidazole-π-Bridge-Dicyanoisophorone-Type Near-Infrared Fluorescent Probe for Rapid Monitoring of Hydrogen Sulfide Based on a Cascade Thiolysis Strategy.

Herein, we designed a dual DNP-caged near-infrared probe, N-Bu-DCIB-2DNP, by conjugating dicyanoisophorone (DCI) with an N-alkylated benzimidazole (B) through double vinylene linkers. This probe features two responsive sites-the DNP ether on the donor and the DNP-functionalized electron-deficient quaternary carbon on t...

Dansyl Hydrazine Modified Cellulose as a Fluorescent Schiff Base for Selective Dual Sensing of 4-Nitroaniline and Cu(II) Ions

A sustainable and multifunctional fluorescent sensor based on a dansyl hydrazine-derived cellulose-modified Schiff base (DHCSB) was successfully designed and synthesized for the dual detection of 4-nitroaniline (4-NA) and Cu(II) ions in solution. Dialdehyde cellulose was first prepared and subsequently functionalized...

From solutions to living systems: a colorimetric and “turn-on” chemosensor for Co2+ with paper-strip and bioimaging applications

5-(4-Chlorophenoxy)-3-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carbaldehyde (PYA), a pyrazole-based fluorescent chemosensor, was synthesised and studied for the selective detection of Co2+ ions. With exceptional selectivity over other metal ions that are relevant to biology and the environment, the sensor displays a clear “turn-o...
