Heena, Silswal A, Sharma D, Koner AL, Om H, Rana R. A highly efficient, selective, reversible and ultra-sensitive fluorescence "Turn-ON" chemosensor for aluminium ions by a novel Schiff base. SPECTROCHIMICA ACTA. PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2024; 320:124575. [PMID: 38861827 DOI: 10.1016/j.saa.2024.124575] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/29/2023] [Revised: 05/09/2024] [Accepted: 05/30/2024] [Indexed: 06/13/2024]
Abstract
The synthesis of a Schiff base-based chemosensor, denoted as H6L, was accomplished through the condensation reaction of Isophthalohydrazide and 2,6-dihydroxybenzaldehyde in an ethanol solvent. The resulting compound was further characterized using 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, as well as high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS). Extensive research has been conducted on several facets of metal sensing phenomena, revealing that the Schiff base H6L demonstrates discerning and expeditious fluorescence sensing characteristics specifically towards Al (III) in acetonitrile. The purported method detects Al (III) can be ascribed to the suppression of photo-induced electron transfer (PET) and the enhanced chelation-induced fluorescence (CHEF). The stoichiometry of metal-ligand complexes (2:1) was determined using Job's plots titrations, HRMS and subsequently confirmed using NMR titration studies. The H6L sensors demonstrated remarkable fluorescence sensing capabilities in acetonitrile, with a low detection limit (LOD) of 0.44 μM. This LOD is suitably low for the detection of Al3+, which is commonly found in many environmental and biological systems. Fluorescence lifetime measurement provides additional evidence of complexation of H6L with Al (III). The reversibility of the sensor was demonstrated through the introduction of pyrophosphate (PPi), which forms a complex with aluminium ions, thereby releasing the chemo sensor for subsequent utilization. The findings suggest that H6L has the potential to serve as a viable probe for the detection and identification of Al3+ ions.

The comparative study of two new Schiff bases derived from 5-(thiophene-2-yl)isoxazole as "Off-On-Off" fluorescence sensors for the sequential detection of Ga 3+ and Fe 3+ ions. SPECTROCHIMICA ACTA. PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2024; 315:124247.

Abstract
Two new Schiff bases, TIC ((E)-N'-(2-hydroxybenzylidene)-5-(thiophene-2-yl)isoxazole-3-carbohydrazide) and TIE ((E)-N'-(3-ethoxy-2-hydroxybenzylidene)-5-(thiophene-2-yl)isoxazole-3-carbohydrazide), have been designed and synthesized as chemosensors for distinct recognition of Ga3+ and Fe3+ ions. TIE demonstrated a prominent "turn on" response characterized by clear distinguished fluorescence when coordination with Ga3+ ions in the DMSO/H2O buffer solution. In comparison, TIC also showed "turn on" response of blue fluorescence which was more selective and sensitive than that of TIE due to the steric hindrance of ethoxy group of TIE. The newly formed complexes TIC-Ga3+ and TIE-Ga3+ may act as selective "turn-off" fluorescent probes towards Fe3+ ions. Limits of detection of TIC and TIE towards Ga3+ ions were 7.8809 × 10-9 M and 2.6277 × 10-8 M, respectively. Limits of detection of TIC-Ga3+ and TIE-Ga3+ towards Fe3+ ions were 8.6562 × 10-9 M and 3.3764 × 10-7 M, respectively. The molar ratio of the complex between the sensor and Ga3+ or Fe3+ ions were all 1:2 determined through Job's Plot, mass spectrometry, and theoretical calculations. Both sensors were utilized for the determination of target ions in environment water samples, and the portable paper sensors for detecting Ga3+ ions have been successfully developed.

Abstract
Fluorescent chemosensors are often preferred for tracking toxic ions because of their non-destructive measurement and ease of use in environmental real samples and biosystems. Exploring high selectivity, great sensitivity, and biocompatible fluorophores with facile, accessible and dual-responsive features is currently highly demanding. A coumarin-based naphthol hydrazone Schiff base chemosensor, NaChro, is designed and synthesized in a two-step process to detect toxic metal ions with strong emission. Fluorescence spectra analysis demonstrates that the probe binds to Hg2+ and Pb2+ ions with a 1:1 and a 2:1 stoichiometry, respectively, with high sensitivity, short response time and minimal interference from other metal ions. The observed reversible turn-on reaction was attributed to the inhibition of C = N isomerization and excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) processes once the ions were introduced. The practical applications of NaChro are successfully addressed in paper strips, various water samples, HeLa cells and Zebrafish, demonstrating that the probe can detect and track Hg2+ and Pb2+ ions in environmental samples and biosystems.

Abstract
A novel multi-functional fluorescence probe HMIC based on hydrazide Schiff base has been successfully synthesized and characterized. It can distinguish Al3+/Zn2+/Cd2+ in ethanol, in which fluorescence emission with different colors (blue for Al3+, orange for Zn2+, and green for Cd2+) were presented. The limits of detection of HMIC towards three ions were calculated from the titration curve as 7.70 × 10- 9 M, 4.64 × 10- 9 M, and 1.35 × 10- 8 M, respectively. The structures of HMIC and its complexes were investigated using UV-Vis spectra, Job's plot, infrared spectra, mass spectrometry, 1H-NMR and DFT calculations. Practical application studies have also demonstrated that HMIC can be applied to real samples with a low impact of potential interferents. Cytotoxicity and cellular imaging assays have shown that HMIC has good cellular permeability and potential antitumor effects. Interestingly, HMIC can image Al3+, Zn2+ and Cd2+ in the cells with different fluorescence signals.

Abstract
This review basically concerned with the application of different Schiff bases (SB) based fluorimetric (turn-off and turn-on) and colorimetric chemosensors for the detection of heavy metal cations particularly Al(III), Fe(III), and Cr(III) ions. Chemosensors based on Schiff bases have exhibited outstanding performance in the detection of different metal cations due to their facile and in-expensive synthesis, and their excellent coordination ability with almost all metal cations and stabilize them in different oxidation states. Moreover, Schiff bases have also been used as antifungal, anticancer, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antiviral, antioxidant, and antimalarial etc. The Schiff base also can be used as an intermediate for the formation of various heterocyclic compounds. In this review, we have focused on the research work performed on the development of chemosensors (colorimetric and fluorometric) for rapid detection of trivalent metal cations particularly Al(III), Fe(III), and Cr(III) ions using Schiff base as a ligand during 2020-2022.

Abstract
Eight Schiff bases, synthesized by the reaction of 4-aminoantipyrine with different cinnamaldehydes, were studied in the solid state by using vibrational spectroscopy (IR) and X-ray diffraction techniques. The analysis was extended to the solution phase through ultraviolet-vis, fluorescence spectroscopy, and cyclic voltammetry. Finally, the crystal structures of four compounds (3b, 3d, 3g, and 3h) were determined and studied. In addition to the experimental study, theoretical calculations using the semiempirical method PM6/ZDO were performed to understand better the compound's molecular properties, UV-vis, and infrared spectra. The primary difference is the angular conformation of the terminal phenyl rings around the corresponding linking C-N and C-C σ-bonds. Furthermore, as a result of extended bonding, the > C=N- azomethine group-containing Cpyr-N=(CH)-(CR)=(CH)-Cbz chain (with R=H for 3b, 3d, and 3h, and R=CH3 for 3g) is planar, nearly coplanar, with the mean plane of the pyrazole ring. Hirshfeld surface (HS) analysis was used to investigate the crystal packing and intermolecular interactions, which revealed that intermolecular C-H···O and C-H···N hydrogen bonds, π···π stacking, and C-H···π and C=O···π interactions stabilize the compounds. The energy contributions to the lattice energies of potential hydrogen bonds were primarily dispersive and repulsive. All derivatives were tested in vitro on LPS-stimulated mouse macrophages to assess their ability to suppress the LPS-induced inflammatory responses. Only a slight reduction in the level of NO production was found in activated macrophages treated with 3h. Additionally, the derivatives were tested for antimicrobial activity against several clinical bacteria and fungi strains, including three biofilm-forming microorganisms. Nevertheless, only Schiff base 3f showed interesting antibacterial activities with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values as low as 15.6 μM against Enterobacter gergoviae. On the other hand, Schiff base 3f and, to a lesser extent, 3b and 3h showed antifungal activity against clinical isolates of Candida. The lowest MIC value was for 3f against Candida albicans (15.6 μM). It is interesting to note that the same Schiff bases exhibit the highest activity in both biological evaluations.

Abstract
The pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is complex. So far there is no effective drug to treat the disease. The pathological changes of AD began 30 years before symptoms, so early diagnosis is considered to be important for AD treatment. Integrating diagnosis and therapy into a single regent has provided a new opportunity for AD treatment. Given that metal dyshomeostasis is thought to be one of the key factors to cause AD, a Schiff base substituted coumarin (probe 1) has been designed and synthesized as a selective metal chelator for multi-factor anti-AD in this work. The results of metal ions recognition showed that probe 1 had high selective fluorescent turn-on response to Al3+ and fluorescent turn-off response to Cu2+, due to intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) mechanism. Meanwhile, the results of both in vitro and in vivo bioactivities evaluation including metal chelation, reactive oxide species (ROS) elimination, self-/Cu2+-induced Aβ aggregation showed that 1 and 1-Cu(II) complex had excellent synergistic anti-AD activities. In addition, 1 had low cytotoxicity and was predicted to cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Noticeably, X-ray single crystal diffraction of 1-Cu(II) provided molecular level information to explain the structure and theranostic activity relationship. To sum up, 1 may be a promising candidate for the development of AD theranostic agent.

Abstract
In this study, a novel Benzil Bis-Hydrazone (BBH) sensor with two C = N-N = C moieties was designed and synthesized based on the condensation reaction between benzil-dihydrazone (b) and cinnamaldehyde. The BBH probe in dimethylsulfoxide showed extremely weak fluorescence. However, the same solution exhibited an intensive fluorescence enhancement (152-fold) with the introduction of Zn(II) ions. In contrast, no or negligible fluorescence changes were observed when other ions were added. The fluorogenic behavior of BBH towards the examined cations indicated an excellent selectivity of the BBH sensor for Zn(II) cations without any interference from other cations like Fe(II), Mg(II), Cu(II), Co(II), Mn(II), Cr(III), Hg(II), Sn(II), Al(I), La(III), Ca(II), Ba(II), Na(I), K(I), and especially Cd(II). Moreover, the UV-vis spectrophotometric titrations revealed that a 1:1 stoichiometric complex BBH-Zn(II) was formed during the Zn(II) sensing and the binding constant value for this complex was calculated to be equal to 106.8. Further, in order to show the affinity of the BBH sensor for Zn(II) cations, it was deemed necessary to determine the limit of detection (LOD) which was found to equal to 2.5 10-4 M.

Abstract
In this work, a novel nitrogen-phosphorus co-doped carbon quantum dots (N, P-CQDs) hydrogel was developed utilizing the as-synthesized N, P-CQDs and acrylamide (AM) with the existence of ammonium persulfate and N, N'-methylene bisacrylamide (N-MBA). In consistent with pure N, P-CQDs, the N, P-CQDs hydrogel also shows a dramatic fluorescence property with maximum emission wavelength of 440 nm, which can also be quenched after adsorbing iron ions (Fe3+). When the concentration of Fe3+is 0-6 mmol l-1, a better linear relationship between Fe3+concentration and the fluorescence intensities can be easily obtained. Additionally, the N, P-CQDs hydrogel exhibits better recyclability. This confirms that the N, P-CQDs hydrogel can be used for adsorbing and detecting Fe3+in aqueous with on-off-on mode. The fluorescence quenching mainly involves three procedures including the adsorption of Fe3+by hydrogel, integration of Fe3+with N, P-CQDs and the transportation of conjugate electrons in N, P-CQDs to the vacant orbits of Fe3+and the adsorption process follows a pseudo-second-order kinetic model confirmed in the Freundlich isotherm model. In conclusion, this work provides a novel route for synchronously removing and detecting the metal ions in aqueous by integrating N, P-CQDs with hydrogel with better recyclability.

Abstract
Mercury, a highly toxic heavy metal, poses significant environmental and health risks, necessitating the development of effective and responsive techniques for its detection. Organic chromophores, particularly small molecules, have emerged as promising materials for sensing Hg2+ ions due to their high selectivity, sensitivity, and ease of synthesis. In this review article, we provide a systematic overview of recent advancements in the field of fluorescent chemosensors for Hg2+ ions detection, including rhodamine derivatives, Schiff bases, coumarin derivatives, naphthalene derivatives, BODIPY, BOPHY, naphthalimide, pyrene, dicyanoisophorone, bromophenol, benzothiazole flavonol, carbonitrile, pyrazole, quinoline, resorufin, hemicyanine, monothiosquaraine, cyanine, pyrimidine, peptide, and quantum/carbon dots probes. We discuss their detection capabilities, sensing mechanisms, limits of detection, as well as the strategies and approaches employed in their design. By focusing on recent studies conducted between 2022 and 2023, this review article offers valuable insights into the performance and advancements in the field of fluorescent chemosensors for Hg2+ ions detection.

Methods 2023:S1046-2023(23)00111-1. [PMID: 37399850 DOI: 10.1016/j.ymeth.2023.06.013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/22/2023] [Revised: 06/27/2023] [Accepted: 06/30/2023] [Indexed: 07/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Schiff base probes (1 and 2) made from o-phenylenediamine and o-aminophenol were appeared as highly selective fluorimetric chemosensor of Cu2+ and Al3+ ions respectively. Strong fluorescence emission of probe 1 at 415 nm (excitation at 350 nm) was instantly turned off on addition of Cu2+. Very weak fluorescence of probe 2 at 506 nm (excitation at 400 nm) was immediately turned on specifically by Al3+. Job's plot and ESI-MS results suggested 1:1 molar stoichiometric ratio of metal ion and probe in their respective complexes. Probe 1 and 2 had demonstrated very low detection limit (9.9 and 2.5 nM respectively). Binding of Cu2+ with probe 1 was found chemically reversible on addition of EDTA, while complexation between Al3+ and probe 2 was not reversible. On the basis of density functional theory (DFT) and spectroscopic results, probable mode of sensing of the metal ions by the probes were proposed. Quenching of the fluorescence of probe 1 by Cu2+ was attributed to the extensive transfer of charge from the probe molecule to paramagnetic copper ion. Whereas, in the Al3+-complex of probe 2, photo-induced electron transfer (PET) process from the imine nitrogen to salicylaldehyde moiety was restricted and thereby the weak emission intensity of probe 2 was enhanced significantly. Effective pH range of sensing the metal ions by probe 1 and 2 were 4 to 8 and 6 to 10 respectively. Probe 1 was also applied in the design of a logic gate for Cu2+ detection. Moreover, probe 1 and 2 was also used in water sample analysis for quantitative estimation of Cu2+ and Al3+ respectively.
