Organosilanes: Synthesis and modification to magnetic silica nanoparticles for recognition of Hg (II) ions

A Review on Pyridine Based Colorimetric and Fluorometric Chemosensor for Detection of Hg2+ ion

Pyridine, N-containing heterocyclic organic compound, displays strong coordination capabilities with various metal ions. It can be synthesized through various methods, such as Friedlander synthesis, heterocumulene synthesis, cross-coupling reactions, the Radziszewski reaction, Bonnemann cyclization, as well as cobalt-catalyzed synthesis. Experimental and spectroscopic analyses have demonstrated a strong binding affinity between pyridine and several heavy metal ions, including Pb2+, Hg2+, and Cd2+ ions. The escalating environmental pollution caused by the disposal of heavy metal ions in rivers, open air, and water reservoirs poses a significant threat to both ecosystem and human health. To address these environmental challenges, a cost-effective and easily synthesized chemosensor has been prepared for identifying toxic heavy metal ions in various samples. Pyridine's photophysical properties make it an effective sensor for detecting Hg2+ ions, displaying fluorescence quenching or enhancement in their presence. The coordination between pyridine and Hg2+ ions lead to shifts in the absorption spectra. The pyridine-based sensor has been evaluated for its sensitivity, selectivity, and detection limits under different experimental conditions. Pyridine's solubility and environmental stability make it applicable for real-time detection, making pyridine probes valuable tool for monitoring toxic Hg2+ ions in the environment. The results demonstrate that the pyridine-based chemosensor exhibits good selectivity and sensitivity for targeting Hg2+ ions, with detection limits within acceptable ranges. This review (from years 2011 to 2023) emphasizes the preparation of various substituted pyridine compounds as selective, sensitive, and specific sensors for real-time detection of Hg2+ ions.

Click derived organosilane assembled with nano platform for the detection of Cu2+ ions: Biological evaluation and molecular docking approach

Metal ions have active roles in biochemical, industrial, and environmental processes. The design and development of new rapid sensing materials with advanced reasonable, compelling, and convenient, techniques are urgent. Here in this work, we design and develop sensor with the facile amalgamation of the pyrene-based organosilane (5) through a click silylation approach silicon composite for selective detection of Cu²⁺ ions. Physicochemical and keen methods are employed to perceive the resultant hybrid nanoparticles (H-NPs), and these nanocomposites similarly displayed a strong affection for Cu²⁺ ions. In addition, the identification restrictions while utilizing 5 and H-NP's towards Cu²⁺ found in this study are far lower than the WHO rules for drinking water. Further, organosilane (5) shows good antibacterial and antioxidant activity. The antibacterial effects of triazole-based organosilane (5), are evaluated with a molecular docking study with Escherichia coli (IJZQ) was conducted. The selected ligand was revealed to have a reasonable docking score with a binding energy of -8.40 kcal mol^-1.
