Abstract
Water, although an important part of everyday life, is acts as one of the most significant contaminants in various applications such as biomedical monitoring, chemical production, petroleum-based fuel and food processing. In fact, the presence of water in other solvents is a huge concern. For the quantification of trace water content, different methods such as Karl-Fischer, electrochemical, nuclear magnetic resonance, chromatography, and thermogravimetric analysis have been used. Although every technique has its own benefit, each one suffers from several drawbacks that include high detection costs, lengthy procedures and specialized operations. Nowadays, the development of fluorescence-based chemical probes has become an exciting area of research for the quick and accurate estimation of water content in organic solvents. A variety of chemical processes such as hydrolysis reaction, metal ions promoted oxidation reaction, suppression of the -C═N isomerization, protonation and deprotonation reactions, and molecular aggregation have been well researched in the last few years for the fluorescent detection of trace water. These chemical processes eventually lead to different photophysical events such as aggregation-induced emission (AIE), aggregation-induced emission enhancement (AIEE), aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ), fluorescent resonance energy transfer (FRET), charge transfer, photo-induced electron transfer (PET), excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) that are responsible for the detection. This review presents a summary of the fluorescence-based chemosensors reported in recent years. The design of water sensors, sensing mechanisms and their potential applications are reviewed and discussed.

Abstract
Developing highly sensitive fluorescent probe for Al3+ and H2O detection is highly desirable, due to aluminum toxicity poses a significant threat to public health. On the other hand, the determination of water content holds immense significance in a wide range of fields such as food processing, pharmaceutical manufacturing. In this paper, a novel acylhydrazone-based fluorescent probe P was successfully synthesized and characterized for the sequential detection of Al3+ and water in alcohols. The probe P exhibited a remarkable "turn-on" response towards Al3+ by emitting yellow fluorescence at 567 nm, with high selectivity and large Stokes shift (147 nm). Meanwhile, the in situ formed P-Al3+ complex demonstrated significant solvatofluorochromic characteristic, which could be utilized as a second probe for detecting water via fluorescence quenching with low detection limit in alcohols (0.008%, methanol; 0.013%, ethanol; 0.013%, isopropanol; 0.037%, n-butanol; vol.%) and acetonitrile (0.072%, vol.%). Moreover, the P-Al3+ complex was able to detect the alcoholic strength of Chinese Baijiu without the interference of other alcohols, providing an excellent recovery rate (100.0-107.0%). Different Chinese Baijius, with various alcoholic strength, could be distinguished by simple test strips. Furthermore, the P-Al3+ complex could also analyze the water content in organic solvents .

Abstract
An ultrasensitive fluorescent water sensor based on a dipodal bimane-Cu(II) complex is reported here. This complex, which is non-fluorescent in the absence of water, demonstrates a remarkable turn-on fluorescence in the presence of extremely low (0.000786% v/v) concentrations of water, via highly selective water-induced displacement of copper and restoration of the innate bimane fluorescence.

Abstract
:
A Dansyl functionalized fluorescent probe (DFFP) has been intended, synthesized,
and well-characterized (NMR, IR, Mass, SEM, SCXRD), capable of sensing trace amounts of
water contaminant in hygroscopic deuterated solvents by changing colour under UV irradiation.
A distinct bathochromic shift in emission spectra of probe DFFP and the visual colour change
(Green to Yellow) under UV lamp are the key evidence of the presence of water contaminant. To
prove the potentiality of the probe while detecting the remnant water, we did some experimental
studies along with exhaustive theoretical evaluation. DFT (Energy optimization and other
calculations) helped in better understanding the sensing mechanism and the mode of interactions
among probe-water-solvent. Total electron density mapped over Electrostatic Potential Surface
and calculation of ESP charges helped in locating more electron-dense regions in the ground
state. The involvement of TD-DFT studies helped in finding the possible electronic transitions
and corresponding absorption bands. Moreover, the probe is capable of sensing ethanolic water
vapour in the gaseous phase. Due to high fluorescence and being nontoxic to cells, probe DFFP
could be used as a potential cell imaging dye. It has been employed in a human cancer cell line
(A549), and fluorescent confocal microscopic images were obtained.

Abstract
The phosphorescence of solid-state carbon dots (CDs) has been demonstrated to be susceptible to water molecules. However, solution-based CDs have been rarely exploited for phosphorescence detection of trace amounts of water in organic solvents. Here, we present a straightforward method to embed the CDs into NaCl nanocrystals and show their application for phosphorescence detection of the water content in organic solvents. The phosphorescent CDs inside NaCl nanocrystals were fabricated by hydrothermal treatment of poly(diallyldimethylammonium) (PDDA) polymers and their counter chloride ions (Cl-) in the presence of NaOH. Because of the interaction with quaternary ammonium surface groups of PDDA-based CDs (PDDA-CDs), the Cl- ions serve as a nucleation site to trigger NaCl nanocrystal formation. Electron microscopy and spectroscopy techniques demonstrate the embedment of PDDA-CDs into NaCl nanocrystals (PDDA-CDs@NaCl). The PDDA-CDs@NaCl exhibited excitation-independent phosphorescence and excitation-dependent fluorescence in ethanol, methanol, dimethyl sulfoxide, and dimethylformamide. In four different organic solvents, the phosphorescence QYs and lasting times of PDDA-CDs@NaCl range from 23 to 35% and 1.2 to 1.5 s, respectively. Once trace amounts of water are present in an organic solvent, the water-induced dissolution of NaCl nanocrystals switches off the phosphorescence of PDDA-CDs@NaCl. It was found that PDDA-CDs@NaCl was capable of detecting as low as 0.25% v/v water in ethanol and 0.125% v/v water in methanol. The above-discussed results provide fundamental insights regarding the embedment of phosphorescent CDs into a solid matrix as a solution-based sensor.
