Abstract
Rapid detection of potentially toxic heavy metals like Hg(II) has attracted great attention in the last few decades due to the importance to maintain a safe and sustainable environment for human beings. Coordination chemistry and concepts therein, play an important role in the detection of Hg(II). Size, charge, and nature of the donor atom and the respective cation (metal ion), are crucial in selective interactions between the sensor and metal ions. The sensors designed for the purpose, coordinate to Hg(II) ion through various donor sites, coordination causes a change in the electron density in organic molecules and results in either visible color change or enhancing/quenching fluorescence intensity. Since Hg(II) is soft metal, with d10 electron system, so majority of the sensors have soft donor sites which prefer to coordinate with Hg(II). Oxygen is also present in some chelating ligands which is least preferred coordination site, due to its hard nature. There are several reports of replacing other ligating sites by sulfur for enhanced mercury sensing. In some cases, desulfurization is being detected as clear change in spectral behavior during the sensing process. Efforts are still in progress to design and introduce a sensor with utmost sensitivity and selectivity. In this review, we made an attempt to explain the coordination aspects of Hg(II) detectors, reasons for poor efficiency and possible suggestions to improve the selection criterion of various compounds. It will help researchers to know about important concepts in designing more sensitive and selective sensors for detection of Hg(II) in environmental and biological samples.

Abstract
Nanojars are a class of supramolecular coordination complexes based on pyrazolate, Cu2+, and OH- ions that self-assemble around highly hydrophilic anions and serve as efficient anion binding and extraction agents. In this work, the synthesis, characterization, and photophysical properties of pyrene-functionalized fluorescent nanojars are presented. Three pyrene derivatives, 4-(pyren-1-yl)pyrazole (HL1), 4-(5-(pyren-1-yl)pent-4-yn-1-yl)pyrazole (HL2), and 4-(3-(pyrazol-4-yl)propyl)-1-(pyren-1-yl)-1,2,3-triazole (HL3), and the corresponding nanojars were synthesized and characterized using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. Electronic absorption, steady-state, and time-resolved fluorescence measurements were carried out to understand the interaction between the pyrene fluorophore and copper nanojars. Optical absorption measurements have shown minor ground state interaction between the fluorophore and nanojars. The fluorescence of pyrene is significantly quenched when attached to nanojars, suggesting strong contribution from the paramagnetic Cu2+ ions. Significant static quenching is observed in the case of L1, when pyrene is directly bound to the nanojar, whereas in the case of L2 and L3, when pyrene is attached to the nanojars using flexible tethers, both static and dynamic quenching are observed.

Abstract
CN- and Hg2+ ions are harmful to both the environment and human health, even at trace levels. Thus, alternative methods for their detection and quantification are highly desirable given that the traditional monitoring systems are expensive and require qualified personnel. Optical chemosensors (probes) have revolutionized the sensing of different species due to their high specificity and sensitivity, corresponding with their modular design. They have also been used in aqueous media and different pH ranges, facilitating their applications in various samples. The design of molecular probes is based on organic dyes, where the key species are N-heterocyclic compounds (NHCs) due to their proven photophysical properties, biocompatibility, and synthetic versatility, which favor diverse applications. Accordingly, this review aims to provide an overview of the reports from 2016 to 2021, in which fluorescent probes based on five- and six-membered N-heterocycles are used for the detection of CN- and Hg2+ ions.

Abstract
Colorimetric and fluorescent probes based on small organic molecules have become important tools in modern biology because they provide dynamic information concerning the localization and quantity of the molecules and ions of interest without the need for genetic engineering of the sample. In the past five years, these probes for ions and molecules have attracted great attention because of their biological, environmental and industrial significance combined with the simplicity and high sensitivity of absorption and fluorescence techniques. Moreover, pyrazole derivatives display a number of remarkable photophysical properties and wide synthetic versatility superior to those of other broadly used scaffolds. This review provides an overview of the recent (2016-2020) findings on chemosensors containing pyrazole derivatives (pyrazoles, pyrazolines and fused pyrazoles). The discussion focuses on the design and physicochemical properties of chemosensors in order to realize their full potential for practical applications in environmental and biological monitoring (sensing of metal ions, anions, explosives, and biomolecules). We also present our conclusions and outlook for the future.

Abstract
Fluorescent chemosensors with aggregation induced emission enhancement (AIEE) emerge as promising tools in the field of sensing materials. Herein, we report the design, synthesis and applicability of a Schiff base chemosensor 1-(benzo[1,3]dioxol-4-ylmethylene-hydrazonomethyl)-naphthalen-2-ol (Hbdhn) of AIE characteristics that exhibits highly effective and selective response towards Zn2+ . The sensing effect of Hbdhn was evaluated by means of absorption/emission spectra and corresponding underlying photophysical mechanisms were proposed based on extensive quantum-chemical (TD)DFT calculations. The aggregated states in different DMSO/H2 O ratios and in a presence of Zn2+ were examined by fluorescence lifetime measurements, dynamic light scattering and scanning electron microscopy studies. The bioimaging abilities of Hbdhn were evaluated for Zn2+ in HepG2 cancer cells. The results demonstrate instant, stable in time and reproducible, colorimetric turn-on response with superb selectivity and sensitivity of Hbdhn towards Zn2+ , based on chelation enhanced fluorescence mechanism. AIEE improves further Hbdhn properties, leading to strong, long-lived fluorescence, with appearance of rod-like particles, in 90 % of water in DMSO and only 10 % of water in DMSO in the presence of Zn2+ . All these features combined with successful biomaging studies make Hbdhn one of the most promising candidate for practical applications among recently proposed related systems.

Abstract
An easy access to an amine-appended spiro[indoline-3,4'-pyridine] ON-OFF chemosensor by a one-pot four-component reaction using commercially available and an environmentally benign catalytic amount of molecular I2 (10 mol%) in aqueous ethanol at ambient temperature is described. The generated system could be utilized for the selective detection of Cu2+ as it demonstrated a colorimetric naked eye change along with an ON-OFF fluorescence response towards Cu2+ at physiological pH. The sensors exhibited high selectivity for Cu2+ over other common cations with detection limit in the range of 10-7 (M). Notably, this is the first report of a spiro[indoline-3,4'-pyridine] moiety acting as a sensor for Cu2+via a on-off fluorescence response. In addition, the probe system was successfully applied for imaging Cu2+ in human hepatocellular liver carcinoma cells (HepG2), demonstrating a new avenue for molecular imaging and biomedical applications.
