Design and synthesis of indole triazole pendant siloxy framework as a chemo sensor for sensing of Cu2+ and Ni2+: A comparison between traditional and microwave method

Recent Development on Copper-Sensor and its Biological Applications: A Review

Metal ion recognition is one of the most prospective research topics in the field of chemical sensors due to its wide range of clinical, biological and environmental applications. In this context, hydrazones are well known compounds that exhibit metal sensing and several biological properties due to the presence of N=CH- bond. Some of the biological properties includes anti-cancer, anti-tumor, anti-oxidant, anti-microbial activities. Hydrazones are also used as a ligand to detect metal ion as well as to generate metal complexes that exhibit medicinal properties. Thus, in recent years, many attempts were made to develop novel ligands with enhanced metal sensing and medicinal properties. In this review, some of the recent development on the hydrazones and their copper complexes are covered from the last few years from 2015-2023. These includes significance of copper ions, synthesis, biological properties, mechanism and metal sensing properties of some of the copper complexes were discussed.

Green Methodologies for Copper(I)-Catalyzed Azide-Alkyne Cycloadditions: A Comparative Study

Successful copper(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) reactions may be achieved by several methods. In this paper, four synthetic protocols were performed for direct comparison of time required for the synthesis, yield, and purity of the 1H-1,2,3-triazole products. The methods with Cu(I) catalysts were conventional, microwave heating, solvent-free, and a method using glycerol solvent. The compounds synthesized in this paper were known non-fluorinated triazoles and new fluorinated triazoles. The results lead to the conclusion that the microwave method should be strongly considered for CuAAC syntheses.

Chalcone scaffolds as photofunctional hybrid material of indolin-2-one-functionalized siloxy framework for optical sensing of Cu2+

The present article is about the synthesis of an indolin-2-one chalcone-based photofunctional hybrid for the selective and sensitive detection of Cu²⁺.

Molecular keypad controlled circuit for Ce(iii) and NO3− ions recognition by μw synthesized silicon-embedded organic luminescent sensor

This report demonstrates the mimicking of an electronic circuit diagram towards Ce(iii) ion sensing response supported by molecular keypads. The probe naphthyl based triazole linked silatrane (NTS) was efficiently synthesized using a series of microwave mediated reactions. The luminescent sensor NTS was explored for the ion sensing response towards Ce(iii) ions using DMSO and DMSO : H₂O 4 : 1 (v/v) as solvent media, respectively. The role of water in Ce(iii) ion sensing was detected as ‘turn-off’ response that contradicts the ‘turn-on’ with DMSO. Further, the sensing of NO₃⁻ ions by NTS–Ce(iii) ensemble was associated with blue shift on absorption maxima. These mimicking response studies were sketched as circuit diagrams assisted by molecular keypad behaviour as IMPLICATION output logic gate.
