Abstract
Zinc ion, one of the most important transition metal ions in living organisms, plays a crucial role in the homeostasis of the organism. The disorder of zinc is associated with many major diseases. It is highly desirable to develop selective and sensitive methods for the real-time detection of zinc ions. In this work, double-emitting fluorescent carbon dots (CDs) are prepared by a solvothermal method using glutathione, L-aspartic acid, and formamide as the raw materials. The carbon dots specifically recognize zine ions and produce a decrease in fluorescence intensity at 684 nm and an increase at 649 nm, leading to a ratiometric fluorescent sensor for zinc detection. Through surface modification and spectral analysis, the surface groups including carboxyl, carbonyl, hydroxyl, and amino groups, and C=N in heterocycles of CDs are revealed to synergistically coordinate Zn2+, inducing the structural changes in the emission site. The CDs can afford a low limit of detection of ~5 nM for Zn2+ detection with good linearity in the range of 0.02-5 μM, showing good selectivity as well. The results from real samples including fetal bovine serum, milk powder, and zinc gluconate oral solution indicated the good applicability of the CDs in the determination of Zn2+.

Abstract
A series of fluorometric sensors of Zn2+ have been synthesized due to the significant function of Zn2+ in the human body and environment. However, most of probes reported for detecting Zn2+ have high detection limit or low sensitivity. In this paper, an original Zn2+ sensor, namely 1o, was synthesized by diarylethene and 2-aminobenzamide. When Zn2+ was added, the fluorescence intensity of 1o increased by 11 times within 10 s, along with a fluorescence color change from dark to bright blue, and the detection limit (LOD) was calculated to be 0.329 μM. According to Job's plot curves, the binding mode of 1o and Zn2+ was measured as 1:1, which was further proved by 1H NMR spectra, HRMS and FT-IR spectra. The logic circuit was designed to take advantage of the fact that the fluorescence intensity of 1o can be controlled by Zn2+, EDTA, UV and Vis. In addition, Zn2+ in actual water samples were tested, in which the recovery rate of Zn2+ was between 96.5 % and 109 %. Furthermore, 1o was successfully made into a fluorescent test strip, which could be used to detect Zn2+ in the environment economically and conveniently.

Abstract
The long luminescence lifetimes and sharp emission bands of luminescent lanthanide complexes have long been recognized as invaluable strengths for sensing and imaging in complex aqueous biological or environmental media. Herein we discuss the recent developments of these probes for sensing metal ions and, increasingly, anions. Underappreciated in the field, buffers and metal hydrolysis influence the response of many responsive lanthanide probes. The inherent complexities arising from these interactions are further discussed.

Abstract
A near-infrared nitrogen and sulfur co-doped carbon dot (N,S-CD)-based ratiometric fluorescent probe is proposed that is synthesized via hydrothermal approach using glutathione and formamide as precursor for sensing and imaging of Zn2+. The prepared N,S-CDs facilitate binding with Zn2+ owing to N and S atom doping. The ratio (I650/I680) of fluorescence intensity at 650 nm and 680 nm increased with the concentrations of Zn2+ when the excitation wavelength was 415 nm. The linearity range was 0.01 to 1.0 μM Zn2+with a detection limit of 5.0 nM Zn2+. The proposed probe was applied to label-free monitoring of Zn2+ in real samples and fluorescent imaging of Zn2+ in living cells, which confirmed its promising applications.
