[PMID: 38685743 DOI: 10.1002/bio.4739] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/07/2023] [Revised: 03/04/2024] [Accepted: 03/12/2024] [Indexed: 05/02/2024]
Abstract
Two new Schiff bases were synthesized from 1-(2,4-dihydroxyphenyl)ethanone and pyridine derivatives. Both compounds were characterized using infrared, UV-Vis., 1H NMR, 13C NMR and mass spectral studies. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed for both the Schiff bases with 6-31G(d, p) as the basis set. Vibrational frequencies calculated using the theoretical method were in good agreement with the experimental values. Both the Schiff bases were highly fluorescent in nature. The cation-recognizing profile of the compounds was investigated in aqueous methanol medium. The Schiff base 4-(1-(pyridin-4-ylimino)ethyl)benzene-1,3-diol (PYEB) was found to interact with Fe(III) and Cu(II) ions, whereas the Schiff base 4,4'-((pyridine-2,3-diylbis(azanylylidene))bis(ethan-1-yl-1-ylidene))bis(benzene-1,3-diol) (PDEB) was found to detect Cu(II) ions. The mechanism of recognition was established as combined excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT)-chelation-enhanced fluorescence (CHEF) effect and chelation-enhanced quenching (CHEQ) process for the detection of Fe(III) and Cu(II) ions, respectively. The stability constant of the metal complexes formed during the sensing process was determined. The limit of detection for Fe(III) and Cu(II) ions with respect to Schiff base PYEB was found to be 1.64 × 10-6 and 2.16 × 10-7 M, respectively. With respect to Schiff base PDEB, the limit of detection for Cu(II) ion was found to be 4.54 × 10-4 M. The Cu(II) ion sensing property of the Schiff base PDEB was applied in bioimaging studies for the detection of HeLa cells.

Abstract
Metal cations such as Zn2+, Al3+, Hg2+, Cd2+, Sn2+, Fe2+, Fe3+ and Cu2+ play important roles in biology, medicine, and the environment. However, when these are not maintained in proper concentration, they can be lethal to life. Therefore, selective sensing of metal cations is of great importance in understanding various metabolic processes, disease diagnosis, checking the purity of environmental samples, and detecting toxic analytes. Schiff base probes have been largely used in designing fluorescent sensors for sensing metal ions because of their easy processing, availability, fast response time, and low detection limit. Herein, an in-depth report on metal ions recognition by some Schiff base fluorescent sensors, their sensing mechanism, their practical applicability in cell imaging, building logic gates, and analysis of real-life samples has been presented. The metal ions having biological, industrial, and environmental significance are targeted. The compiled information is expected to prove beneficial in designing and synthesis of the related Schiff base fluorescent sensors.

Abstract
A thirst for the development of a simple fluorescence probe for enhanced sensing application has been achieved by synthesizing a stupendous thiophene-appended benzothiazole-conjugated compound L2. The synthesized compound L2 was characterized using nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectrometry techniques. Furthermore, a photophysical property of L1 and L2 reveals the enhanced emission spectrum of L2 because of a restricted spin-orbital coupling as a result of increased conjugation compared to the ligand L1. Therefore, comparative studies were undertaken for L1 and L2. Henceforth, L2 was deployed for the ratiometric detection of Cd2+ ions in THF:water and L1 for the detection of Cu2+ ions in THF medium. The chemosensor L2 shows an outstanding water tolerance up to 60% and is stable between pH 2 and 7. This level of water tolerance and stability make L2 a suitable probe for analyzing real-time and biological samples. While the cadmium ion was added to L2, there was a significant red shift in emission from 496 to 549 nm, which indicates the controlled ICT due to complex formation. The metal-ligand complexation was also confirmed by noticing a decreased band gap of metal complex compared to the ligand as calculated using Tauc's plot with solid-phase UV data. The stoichiometric ratio was obtained by Job's plot that exhibited a 1:1 ratio of L2 and Cd2+ ions, and the limit of detection (LOD) was found to be 2.25 nM by the photoluminescence spectroscopic technique. The fluorescence lifetime of both L2 and L2-Cd2+ was found to be 58.3 ps and 0.147 ns, respectively. Alongside, the colorimetric-assisted ratiometric detection of Cu2+ by L1 with 1:2 stoichiometric ratio having an LOD of 1.06 × 10-7 M was also performed. Furthermore, the practical applicability of the probe L2 in sensing cadmium was tested in sewage water and vegetable extract; the recovery was approximately 98 and 99%, respectively. The experimental data were supported by theoretical investigation of structures of L1, L2, L1-Cu2+ , and L2-Cd2+ , complex formation, charge transfer mechanism, and band gap measurements done by quantum chemical density functional theory calculations.

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
An organic chemical sensor based on pyrimidine was successfully produced through the green reaction between aromatic aldehyde, malononitrile, and guanidine carbonate using SBA-Pr-SO3H. This fluorescence intensity of chemosensor (2,4-diamino-6-(phenyl)pyrimidine-5-carbonitrile) decreases by the addition of Hg2+ and its detection limit is about 14.89 × 10-5 M, in fact, through the green synthesis, the ligand was yielded to detect Hg2+ and the importance of ligand was considered in docking studies. The molecular docking of 2,4-diamino-6-(phenyl)pyrimidine-5-carbonitrile compound has been done with the protein selective estrogen receptor 5ACC complexed with (Azd9496), Human Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase Pdb; 2xp2 complex with crizotinib (PF-02341066) and human wee1 kinase Pdb; 5vc3 complexed with bosutinib. The ligands 2,4-diamino-6-(phenyl)pyrimidine-5-carbonitrile generate very good docking results with the protein Pdb; 2xp2, which is responsible for effective tumor growth inhibition.

Abstract
Herein, we report two acyclic Schiff base receptors CS-1 and CS-2 capable of being selective fluorescent turn on for Zn2+ions and colorimetric chemosensor for Zn2+, Cu2+, and Co2+ ions by showing a colour change from colourless to yellow in 1:1 ratio of acetonitrile and HEPES buffer (1:1, v/v, pH 7.4) without the interference from other metal ions screened (Cd2+, Hg2+, Sn2+, Ni2+, Cr3+, Mn2+, Pb2+, Ba2+, Al3+, Ca2+, Mg2+, K+ and Na+). The fluorescence turn on enhancement towards Zn2+ ions is ascribed to PET blocking, suppression of -C=N- isomerisation, and the ESIPT process. The selectivity, competitivity and reversibility of the synthesised probes (CS-1 and CS-2) made them promising chemosensors for the detection of Zn2+, Cu2+, and Co2+ ions. The density functional theory (DFT) calculations have theoretically endorsed the colorimetric changes in the examined absorption spectra and binding mode of both CS-1/CS-2 with metals ions. In addition, 1H NMR titrations were also consistent with the recognition mechanism of Zn2+ ions with the CS-1/CS-2. Further, the Jobs plot analysis infers a 1:1 stoichiometric ratio for both evaluating receptors CS-1 and CS-2 with Zn2+, Cu2+ and Co2+ ions and was supported by DFT, NMR (only for Zn2+ ions), UV-Visible, and fluorescence spectroscopic studies. Moreover, the detection limits of CS-1 and CS-2 for Zn2+ ions were determined to be 7.69 and 5.35 nM, respectively, which is less compared to the detection limit of Cu2+, Co2+ ions as well as the limit approved by the United State Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA). The probes CS-1 and CS-2 found to show high fluorescence quantum yields at pH = 7 during the titration with Zn2+ as compared with other pHs (5-6 and 8-11). Gratifyingly, fluorescence microscopy imaging in HeLa cells revealed that the pair of receptors can be employed as an excellent fluorescent probe for the detection of Zn2+ions in living cells, indicating that this facile chemosensor has a huge potential in cellular imaging.

Abstract
A simple and novel Schiff base chemosensor (BMHM) based on benzimidazole was synthesized. In ethanol-water (1:1, v/v) medium on varying concentrations of Zn2+ chemosensor exhibited a strong and quick turn on fluorescence response. The Zn2+ recognition was based on the Chelation-enhanced fluorescence effect. The binding constant and limit of detection for BMHM-Zn2+ complexation were estimated to be 7.99 × 104 M-1 and 0.148 µM, respectively. The extreme fluorescent enhancement caused by Zn2+ binding in chemosensor BMHM occurred at a pH range of 6-7. The practical use of chemosensor BMHM was tested by determination of Zn2+ in real water samples and comparing the results with the data obtained using high resolution inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry.

Abstract
Cadmium is a heavy metal which exists widely in industrial and agricultural production and can induce a variety of diseases in organisms. Therefore, its detection is of great significance in the fields of biology, environment and medicine. Fluorescent probe has been a powerful tool for cadmium detection because of its convenience, sensitivity, and bioimaging capability. In this paper, we reviewed 98 literatures on cadmium fluorescent sensors reported from 2017 to 2021, classified them according to different fluorophores, elaborated the probe design, application characteristics and recognition mode, summarized and prospected the development of cadmium fluorescent and colorimetric probes. We hope to provide some help for researchers to design cadmium fluorescent probes with higher selectivity, sensitivity and practicability. Cadmium is a heavy metal which exists widely in industrial and agricultural production and can induce a variety of diseases in organisms.![]()

Abstract
A colorimetric and turn-on fluorometric assay with high sensitivity and selectivity is described for the optical detection of mercury (II) ions (Hg2+), based on carbon dots with -SH (SN-CDs) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). On addition of Hg2+, the color of the system (SN-CDs/AuNPs) changes from red to blue. A new absorption peak appears at 700 nm, and its absorbance increases with the concentration of Hg2+, while at 530 nm, the absorbance of AuNPs decreases. Taking the ratio of absorbance at 700 and 530 nm as a signal, a colorimetric method with linear detection range of 0.5-4.0 μM was established for the determination of Hg2+. Meanwhile, citrate ions on the surface of AuNPs can reduce Hg2+ to Hg0, and through the strong affinity of Hg0 and gold, gold-mercury alloys were formed to occupy the surface of AuNPs, so that the SN-CDs were re-free and the fluorescence of SN-CDs was restored. Consequently, a fluorometric method was founded in the linear detection range from 0.5 to 15.0 μM of mercury (II). This dual-mode (colorimetric and turn-on fluorometric) method was applied successfully for determination of Hg2+ in real water samples.

Abstract
Mercury (Hg), this non-essential heavy metal released from both industrial and natural sources entered into living bodies, and cause grievous detrimental effects to the human health and ecosystem. The monitoring of Hg2+ excessive accumulation can be beneficial to fight against the risk associated with mercury toxicity to living systems. Therefore, there is an emergent need of novel and facile analytical approaches for the monitoring of mercury levels in various environmental, industrial, and biological samples. The chromo-fluorogenic chemosensors possess the attractive analytical parameters of low-cost, enhanced detection ability with high sensitivity, simplicity, rapid on-site monitoring ability, etc. This review was narrated to summarize the mercuric ion selective chromo-fluorogenic chemosensors reported in the year 2020. The design of sensors, mechanisms, fluorophores used, analytical performance, etc. are summarized and discussed.

Highly Sensitive Fluorescent Probe for Detection of Paraquat Based on Nanocrystals. J Fluoresc 2021; 31:559-567. [PMID: 33464455 DOI: 10.1007/s10895-020-02679-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/15/2020] [Accepted: 12/28/2020] [Indexed: 10/22/2022]
Abstract
Paraquat is one of the most toxic materials widely applied in agriculture in most countries. In the present study, a simple, innovative and inexpensive nano biosensor which is based on a thioglycolic acid (TGA) - CdTe@CdS core-shell nanocrystals (NCs) to detect paraquat, is suggested. The NCs based biosensor shows a linear working range of 10-100 nM, and limited detection of 3.5 nM. The proposed sensor that has been well used for the detection and determination of paraquat in natural water samples is collected from corn field and a canal located near to the corn field yielding recoveries as high as 98%. According to our findings, the developed biosensor shows reproducibility and high sensitivity to determine paraquat in natural water samples in which the amount of paraquat has low levels. The suggested method is efficiently applied to paraquat determination in the samples of natural water that are collected from a tap water and a canal located near to the cornfield.
