Abstract
Mercury ion is one of the most harmful metal ions with significant hazards to the environment and human health. Thus, the development of innovative, sensitive, and selective sensors to help address the detrimental impacts of heavy metal contamination is necessary. In this work, we present three new chemosensors based on the deprotection reaction of the thioacetal group for distinguishing Hg2+ in environmental samples. These chemosensors show good photophysical properties with high quantum yield in aqueous medium. These prepared chemosensors were employed as fluorometric sensors for the determination of Hg2+ through the quenching of fluorescence emission due to the Hg2+-induced hydrolysis of the thioacetal to the aldehyde group. In the presence of Hg2+, chemosensors showed an emissive color transformation from blue fluorescence to non-fluorescence under UV light, which was readily seen by the visual eye. These chemosensors also exhibited highly distinctive selectivity toward Hg2+ over other interfering metal ions, with detection limits of 1.1 ppb, 13.4 ppb, and 12.7 ppb. Moreover, the practical applicability of chemosensor was successfully demonstrated in real water samples and herb extract samples.

Abstract
Globally, 91% of plant production encounters diverse environmental stresses that adversely affect their growth, leading to severe yield losses of 50-60%. In this case, monitoring the connection between the environment and plant health can balance population demands with environmental protection and resource distribution. Fluorescent chemosensors have shown great progress in monitoring the health and environment of plants due to their high sensitivity and biocompatibility. However, to date, no comprehensive analysis and systematic summary of fluorescent chemosensors used in monitoring the correlation between plant health and their environment have been reported. Thus, herein, we summarize the current fluorescent chemosensors ranging from their design strategies to applications in monitoring plant-environment interaction processes. First, we highlight the types of fluorescent chemosensors with design strategies to resolve the bottlenecks encountered in monitoring the health and living environment of plants. In addition, the applications of fluorescent small-molecule, nano and supramolecular chemosensors in the visualization of the health and living environment of plants are discussed. Finally, the major challenges and perspectives in this field are presented. This work will provide guidance for the design of efficient fluorescent chemosensors to monitor plant health, and then promote sustainable agricultural development.

Abstract
A thiourea functionalised fluorescent probe 1-phenyl-3-(pyridin-4-yl)thiourea was synthesized and utilised as a fluorescent turn-on chemosensor for the selective recognition of Hg2+ ion over competitive metal ions including Na+, Mn2+, Li+, Cr2+, Ni2+, Ca2+, Cd2+, Mg2+, K+, Co2+, Cu2+, Zn2+, Al3+ and Fe2+ ions based on the inter-molecular charge transfer (ICT). Intriguingly, the receptor demonstrated unique sensing capabilities for Hg2+ in DMSO: H2O (10:90, v/v). The addition of Hg2+ ions to the sensor resulted in a blue shift in the absorption intensity and also enhancement in fluorescence intensity at 435 nm. Fluorescence emission intensity increased linearly with Hg2+ concentration ranging from 0 to 80 µL. The detection limit and binding constant were determined as 0.134 × 10-6 M and 1.733 × 107 M-1, respectively. The sensing behavior of Hg2+ was further examined using DLS, SEM and FTIR. The probe could detect Hg2+ ions across a wide pH range. Furthermore, the receptor L demonstrated good sensing performance for Hg2+ in bovine serum albumin and actual water samples.

Abstract
In recent years, the field of Supramolecular Chemistry has witnessed tremendous progress owing to the development of versatile optical sensors for the detection of harmful biological analytes. Nitrobenzoxadiazole (NBD) is one such scaffold that has been exploited as fluorescent probes for selective recognition of harmful analytes and their optical imaging in various cell lines including HeLa, PC3, A549, SMMC-7721, MDA-MB-231, HepG2, MFC-7, etc. The NBD-derived molecular probes are majorly synthesized from the chloro derivative of NBD via nucleophilic aromatic substitution. This general NBD moiety ligation method to nucleophiles has been leveraged to develop various derivatives for sensing analytes. NBD-derived probes are extensively used as optical sensors because of remarkable properties like excellent stability, large Stoke's shift, high efficiency and stability, visible excitation, easy use, low cost, and high quantum yield. This article reviewed NBD-based probes for the years 2017-2023 according to the sensing of analyte(s), including cations, anions, thiols, and small molecules like hydrogen sulfide. The sensing mechanism, designing of the probe, plausible binding mechanism, and biological application of chemosensors are summarized. The real-time application of optical sensors has been discussed by various methods, such as paper strips, molecular logic gates, smartphone detection, development of test kits, etc. This article will update the researchers with the in vivo and in vitro biological applicability of NBD-based molecular probes and challenges the research fraternity to design, propose, and develop better chemosensors in the future possessing commercial utility.

Abstract
In this work, we developed a novel label-free fluorescent sensor for the highly sensitive detection of mercury ions (Hg2+) based on the coordination chemistry of thymine-Hg2+-thymine (T-Hg2+-T) structures and the properties of CRISPR-Cas12a systems. Most notably, two T-rich sequences (a blocker and an activator) were designed to form stable double-stranded structures in the presence of Hg2+ via the T-Hg2+-T base pairing. The formation of T-T mismatched double-stranded DNA between the blocker and the activator prevented the cleavage of G-rich sequences by Cas12a, allowing them to fold into G-quadruplex-thioflavin T complexes, resulting in significantly enhanced fluorescence. Under the optimized conditions, the developed sensor showed an excellent response for Hg2+ detection in the linear range of 0.05 to 200 nM with a detection limit of 23 pM. Moreover, this fluorescent sensor exhibited excellent selectivity and was successfully used for the detection of Hg2+ in real samples of Zhujiang river water and tangerine peel, demonstrating its potential in environmental monitoring and food safety applications.

Pyrene-Based "Turn-On" Fluorescent Polymeric Probe with Thioacetal Units in the Main Chain for Mercury(II) Detection in Aqueous Solutions and Living Cells. Macromol Rapid Commun 2024; 45:e2300631.

Abstract
A water-soluble polymeric pyrene-based polythioacetal (PTA-Py) with thioacetal units in the main chain is simply synthesized by direct polycondensation of 3, 6-dioxa-1, 8-octanedithiol, 1-pyrene formaldehyde, and mPEG2k-SH. The probe PTA-Py shows a good fluorescence response to Hg2+ ions due to the Hg2+-promoted deprotection reaction of thioacetal groups to regenerate the original 1-pyrene formaldehyde compound. After adding Hg2+ to the PTA-Py solution, the fluorescence intensity (FI) gradually increases with increasing concentrations of Hg2+. Compared with other metal ions, the probe exhibits high sensitivity, good selectivity, and rapid response to Hg2+. The low detection limits are 12.3 nm in ethanol-PBS buffer and 13.3 nm in water, respectively. The results imply that the simply synthesized water-soluble polymeric probe had potential applications in the rapid detection of Hg2+ ions in aqueous solutions. Moreover, the polymeric PTA-Py shows high sensitivity for CH3Hg+ with detection limits of 26.5 nm in ethanol/PBS buffer. In addition, PTA-Py can efficiently detect Hg2+ ions in HeLa cells. The results demonstrate that a valuable method is developed for biocompatible polymeric sensors for Hg2+ ions in biological and environmental samples.

Abstract
In this work, a novel fluorescent ratiometric switch, 8-((6-(1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)pyridin-2-yl)methoxy)quinoline (BIPQ), has been introduced for sensing an organophosphorus (OP) chemical vapor threat, diethyl chlorophosphate (DCP), the low-toxic mimic of the real nerve agent sarin (GB). BIPQ is efficient at detecting DCP in both solution and gaseous phase and has potential practical application with high sensitivity and selectivity. The probe shows significant ratiometric emission in the presence of DCP along with a distinct color change from blue to cyan under UV light. The sensing mechanism of the chemodosimeter is based on the generation of a new adduct, BIPQ-DCP, through a nucleophilic substitution reaction with DCP followed by a ring-closure process to form the final product. The detection limit of BIPQ for DCP was determined to be in the order of 10-8 (M) in the liquid state. DFT and TDDFT computational techniques were carried out in order to interpret the electronic properties theoretically.

Abstract
The leaf-like zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-L) is a promising porous nanomaterial that has attracted increasing attention as an ideal host material to encapsulate functional fluorescent nanoparticles for designing fluorescent sensors. However, owing to the large particle size, gravity readily facilitates the precipitation of the ZIF-L from the aqueous solution, and thus lead to imperfect experimental results. Herein, we report a simple and rapid synthetic method which uses the polyethyleneimine (PEI)-modified ZIF-L as a host to solve the precipitation problem and construct a dual-emitting system that combines its fluorescence with carbon dots (CDs). Furthermore, CDs@ZIF-L/PEI with dual-emitting centres could be utilised as a ratio fluorescence sensor to detect Hg2+ ions. The sensor exhibited excellent dispersibility and good selectivity for sensing Hg2+ ions, with a limit of detection (LOD) of 14.5 nM. Furthermore, experimental results reveal that the CDs@ZIF-L/PEI fluorescent sensor could be effectively dispersed into agarose and less polar organic solvents such as DMF, MeOH, EtOH and CH3CN, expanding the application scope of the fluorescent sensor.

Abstract
The deleterious toxicity of Hg2+ on ecological and biological system makes it crucial for the precise monitoring of Hg2+. Herein, we prepared a novel "turn-on" chemosensor N'-(4-(methylthio)butan-2-ylidene) rhodamine B hydrazide (denoted as MTRH) by a simple two-step reaction. MTRH exhibited an ultra-low detection limit (LOD) in fluorescence measurement of Hg2+ in pure aqueous media, which was estimated to be 1.3 × 10-9 mol·L-1. Moreover, the proposed chemosensor holds the ability of visualizing Hg2+ by the distinct color change of the solution. The corresponding recognition mechanism was investigated by Job's plots, mass spectrometry and DFT calculation analysis. Importantly, the characteristics such as high sensitivity, low cytotoxicity and good biocompatibility of MTRH exhibited in the application of detecting Hg2+ in real water sample and bioimaging of intracellular Hg2+ prove that MTRH is a promising tool to evaluate the levels of Hg2+ in complex biological systems.

Abstract
The development of new efficient contrast nanoprobe has been greatly concerned in the field of scattering imaging for sensitive and accurate detection of trace analytes. In this work, the non-stoichiometric Cu2-xSe nanoparticle with typical localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) properties originating from their copper deficiency as a plasmonic scattering imaging probe was developed for sensitive and selective detection of Hg2+ under dark-field microscopy. Hg2+ can compete with Cu(I)/Cu(II) which were sources of optically active holes coexisting in these Cu2-xSe nanoparticles for its higher affinity with Se2-. The plasmonic properties of Cu2-xSe were adjusted effectively. Thus, the color scattering images of Cu2-xSe nanoparticles was changed from blue to cyan, and the scattering intensity was obviously enhanced with the dark-field microscopy. There was a linear relationship between the scattering intensity enhancement and the Hg2+ concentration in the range of 10-300 nM with a low detection limit of 1.07 nM. The proposed method has good potential for Hg2+ detection in the actual water samples. This work provides a new perspective on applying new plasmonic imaging probe for the reliable determination of trace heavy metal substances in the environment at a single particle level.

Abstract
A novel thionocarbonate-coumarin-thiourea triad-based probe with dual recognition sites for sensing mercury (Hg2+) ion was developed. The synthesized probe possessed both fluorogenic ("off-on") and chromogenic (from colorless to blackish brown) sensing performance towards Hg2+ ions. The fluorescence intensity was increased by 70 fold after the addition of Hg2+. As expected, the probe exhibited excellent selectivity and sensitivity for Hg2+ compared to other common competitive metal ions. The fluorescence intensity of the probe improved linearly with the increase of the concentration of Hg2+ (0-40 μM). Also, the minimum limit of detection (LOD) of the synthesized probe was 0.12 μM. Considering the importance of test feasibility in the harsh environment, the developed probe was applicable for detecting Hg2+ ions over a broad working pH range of 3-11. It is reliable and qualifies for the quantitative determination of Hg2+ concentrations in actual water samples.

Gigi G, Mohan AM. Probe-impregnated monolithic polymer as a robust solid-state colorimetric chemosensor for selective sensing of Hg 2+ in environmental water and cigarette samples. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2023; 220:115210. [PMID: 36626947 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2023.115210] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/07/2022] [Revised: 12/27/2022] [Accepted: 01/01/2023] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
The current study developed a novel aqua-compatible and naked-eye portable solid-state opto-sensor for selective and sensitive detection of ultra-trace Hg2+ ions. The developed chemosensor was fabricated by the direct impregnation of a chromoionophoric probe composed of 2,3-bis((4-isopropylbenzylidene)amino)maleonitrile (PDPM) onto the surface of structurally tailored porous polymer monolithic framework. The template exhibited a highly porous network with greater surface area, which led to the effective anchoring of probe molecules onto the surface of the polymer template, thus serving as an efficient platform to constitute a regenerative solid-state chemosensor. The sensor rendered a superior color shift from dull white to dijon yellow after complexing with Hg2+. The surface, structural, and morphological aspects of the sensor were evaluated using FE-SEM, HR-TEM, EDAX, SAED, p-XRD, N2 adsorption isotherm, and XPS. Rigorous optimization of the effects of different analytical parameters on the sensing performance of the PDPM sensor material was ensured. The monolithic sensor had an optimum sensing performance at pH 8.0, rapid signal response kinetics of 60s and a broad linear response range of 0.5-150.0 μg/L with a 0.22 μg/L detection limit. Furthermore, the sensor was also tolerant of foreign matrix constituents, thereby enabling it to be highly selective in detecting Hg2+. Sensor recovery was analyzed to be possible via Hg2+ desorption using 0.01 M EDTA without compromising its sensing performance. It had reutilization potential for up to eight regenerative cycles with excellent data reliability (recovery ≥99.4% and RSD ≤1.4%). The practicability of the fabricated sensor was investigated using various water and cigarette samples. Experimental data revealed that the developed chromoionophoric sensor was reusable, eco-friendly, low-cost, and possessed superior sensing capabilities, making it more feasible for on-site analysis of environmental samples. The designed sensor has the potential for further investigations and applications as a sensor kit for facilitating heavy metal detection in remote places.

Abstract
Qualitative and quantitative analysis of mercury at concentration levels as low as parts per billion (ppb) is a basic and practical concern. The vast majority of research in this field has centered on the development of potent chemosensor to monitor mercuric (Hg2+) ions. Mercury exists in three oxidation states, + 2, + 1 and 0, all of which are highly poisonous. In this study, (N1E,N2E)-N1,N2-bis(pyrene-1-ylmethylene)benzene-1,2-diamine (PAPM), a novel photoluminescent sensor based on pyrene platform was synthesized. Over the tested metal ions (Cd2+, Co2+, Cu2+, Mg2+, Mn2+, Ni2+, K+, Na+, Zn2+, Sr2+, Pb2+, Al3+, Cr3+ and Fe3+) the sensor responds only to Hg2+ by showing high selectivity and sensitivity. After treatment with mercuric ions at room temperature, the luminescence intensity of probe was quenched at 456 nm. The quenching of fluorescence intensity of probe upon addition of mercury is due to the effect of "turn-off" chelation enhanced quenching (CHEQ) by the formation of 1:1 complex. The ESI-MS spectrum and the Job's experimental results confirm the formation of 1:1 complex between PAPM and Hg2+. The detection limit and association constant of sensor for mercury is computed using fluorescence titration data and were found to be 9.0 × 10-8 M and 1.29 × 105 M-1 respectively. The practical application of sensor towards recognition of mercury(II) ions was explored through economically viable test strips and also using cell imaging studies.

Abstract
A novel cationic iridium(III) complex [(ppy)2Ir(bPCPC)]PF6 (ppy: 2-phenylpyridine; bPCPC: 2-([2,2'-bipyridine]-4-carbonyl)-N-phenylhydrazinecarbothioamide) containing a thiosemicarbazide unit was designed and synthesized. The thiosemicarbazide unit was a sensitive functional group to Hg2+, when it reacted with Hg2+, it was desulphurized and thus led to the formation of 1,3,4-oxadiazole, [(ppy)2Ir(bPCPC)]PF6 resultantly was used as a "turn-on" chemodosimeter for luminescent detection of Hg2+ in DMF/PBS buffer solution at pH = 7-11. Except for Ag+, recognition capability of [(ppy)2Ir(bPCPC)]PF6 to Hg2+ was not interfered by other common metal ions (Co2+, Li+, Zn2+, Pb2+, K+, Al3+, Na+, Mn2+, Cu2+, Fe2+, Fe3+, Cr3+, Ba2+, Mg2+, Ni2+ and Ca2+). The detection limit was 1.83 × 10-9 mol∙L-1 (0.37 ppb), which indicated the complex was a highly sensitive chemiluminescent detection reagent of Hg2+.

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
A novel 7-nitro-1,2,3-benzoxadiazole (NBD)-based chemosensor BOP ((5-bromopyridin-2-yl)(4-(7-nitrobenzo[c][1,2,5]oxadiazol-4-yl)piperazin-1-yl)methanone) was synthesized. BOP could detect S2- through fluorescent quenching and colorimetric change. The detection limit was calculated to be 10.9 µM through fluorescence titration. The reaction mechanism of BOP towards S2- was estimated to be thiolysis of NBD amine, producing the cleavage products, NBD-S- and BP ((5-bromopyridin-2-yl)(piperazin-1-yl)methanone). The thiolysis was demonstrated by 1H NMR titrations, ESI-mass analysis and theoretical calculations. Importantly, BOP was able to successfully monitor S2- in zebrafish and water samples. Additionally, test strips coated with BOP were applied to the in-the-field measurements of S2-.

Abstract
In this work, we report a facile receptor OMB [N',N"'-(3-((4-oxochroman-3-yl)methylene)pentane-2,4- diylidene)bis(4-methoxybenzohydrazide)] for the simultaneous detection of toxic analytes (Hg2+ and Cd2+ ions) in environment and biological samples. The receptor OMB exhibits an excellent selectivity and sensitivity which was determined using absorption and emission spectra. The receptor OMB shows rapid detection with lowest LOD (0.62 nM for Hg2+ ions and 0.77 nM for Cd2+ ions) and LOQ (2.08 nM for Hg2+ ions and 2.57 nM for Cd2+ ions) values. In addition, the receptor OMB exhibits 1:1 binding stoichiometry towards Hg2+ and Cd2+ ions with binding constant values of 5.5 × 106 M-1 and 4.6 × 106 M-1. Moreover, the synthesized receptor OMB possess ability to detect these analytes (Hg2+ and Cd2+ ions) in realistic samples (food and water) which was recognized using photoluminescence spectroscopy technique. In addition, the receptor OMB is also utilized to detect both the analytes in live HeLa cells. Thus, the overall results indicate that the receptor OMB was more suitable to detect the toxic analytes (Hg2+ and Cd2+ ions) present in the environment.

Abstract
The fluorescent organic nanoparticles (FONs)-based sensor has been attracting great attention in recent years. There are still big challenges in the preparation and application of FONs-based sensor. In this study, a FONs-based sensor was designed and developed through facile hydrothermal process using 3-perylenecarboxaldehyde (PlCA) as the fluorophore and L-methionine (Met) as the recognition site for mercury ions. According to the experimental results, the fluorescence intensity of the as-prepared PlCA-M would decrease when adding Hg2+ and the mechanism was extrapolated to be photoinduced electron transfer inducing by specific coordination interaction. The acquired PlCA-M-based sensor was used to monitor Hg2+ in several real samples (environmental water, tea, and apple) with the limit of detection being 60 nM. Remarkably, a visual detection device based on FONs, SDS-PAAG (sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel) @PlCA-M was firstly constructed and successfully used to Hg2+ semi-quantitation by naked eyes. In addition, the acquired FONs was applied into imaging tool for security information detection and identified as solid-state luminescent material for the first time.

Abstract
Development of new fluorescent probes for mercury ion analysis in environmental or living organism is undergoing quick growth due to its detrimental toxicity to environmental safety, ecological security, and human being. However, in most cases, the industrial waste water is acidic whereas it remains a great challenge to real-time monitor mercury ion directly at low pH using small molecule fluorescence probe. In this study, we have successfully designed and synthesized the Naph (1, 8-Naphthalimide derivative) -based small molecule probe termed as Naph-NSS capable of monitoring mercury ion in a broad range at low pH (from 2.0 to 7.0). The solid spectral studies demonstrated the high sensitivity and selectivity of the probe towards mercury ion among various species. After binding with Hg2+, the fluorescence of Naph-NSS greatly enhanced, and the mechanism of which was investigated by DFT studies. The probe was able to be loaded on paper strip for instant and fast detection of mercury ions. In addition, the probe is also suitable for detection of mercury ion in environmental samples, living cells and in vivo.

Abstract
Mercury (Hg) is a toxic pollutant and may cause serious health and environmental threats even at low concentrations. Thus, sensitive, efficient, and accurate techniques for the detection of Hg2+ ions in biological systems are in particular demand. In the current paper, a new, red emitting fluorescence probe (THI) based on electron deficient dicyanovinyl, electron-rich diethylamino, and receptor thiazoline toward Hg2+ has been developed. It has been determined that the recognition behavior of the probe toward Hg2+ is reversible with S2-. The probe not only shows perfect selectivity toward Hg2+ with a low detection limit over a series of metal ions, but it also displays positive solvato-chromism among the tested solvents via modulation of intramolecular energy transfer from the diethylamino to a dicyanovinyl moiety. Furthermore, it has been shown that the probe can be applied as a fluorescent probe for visualizing Hg2+ in living HeLa cells through a confocal laser scanning microscope. Also, the probe THI has not shown any toxic effect in cervical cancer and epithelial cells. Thus, the probe demonstrates high promise for Hg2+ detection in biomarker screening, disease diagnosis, and clinical medicine with low cytotoxicity.

Abstract
In this paper, a simple and effective fluorescence turn-on approach for highly sensitive and selective monitoring Hg2+ ions was designed by using carbon dots (CDs) and silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). It reveals that the fluorescence of CDs solution can be quenched in the presence of AgNPs through inner filter effect (IFE) and the quenched CDs-AgNPs system is turned on after addition of Hg2+ ions, which is due to higher affinity of Hg2+ and AgNPs than that of CDs and AgNPs, thus resulting the disappearance of AgNPs from the CDs-AgNPs composites and leading to the fluorescence turn-on of CDs. The developed fluorescence turn-on approach exhibited high selectivity and sensitivity for detection of Hg2+. Under the optimum experimental conditions, good linearity was achieved over the range of 100-160 μM and the limit of detection (LOD) was estimated to be 2.22×10-8 M for Hg2+. The recoveries of Hg2+ spiked in real samples ranged from 98.4% to 101.6%. Results of this study suggest that the fluorescence turn-on approach can be used to the detection of Hg2+ in real water samples.

Abstract
This work describes (Z)-N-((Z)-2-(1,3,3-trimethylindolin-2ylidene)ethylidene)quinoline-8-amine (LYSO-QF), a high-performing and biocompatible dye comprised of quinoline and Fisher aldehyde moieties linked via an imine vinyl backbone with lysosome targeting ability that can be used to quantitatively detect the mercury ion (Hg2+) in biosystems and the natural environment. This is achieved by forming three different tetrameric, trimeric and dimeric complexes between Hg2+ and LYSO-QF with the limit of detection (LOD) of 11 nm. The complexes formed were analyzed with the aid of time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) calculations. The concentration dependence of the Hg2+ complex fluorescence emission changes from grey-green to jade green and then to red as the different types of complex are formed. The favorable sensor properties of the LYSO-QF probe are demonstrated by monitoring different Hg2+ concentrations in buffer solutions, HeLa cells, zebrafish model samples and several different types of water sample. Experiments with Whatman paper strips demonstrate that the cost-effective LYSO-QF also has considerable potential for use in on-site Hg2+ detection with the naked eye.

Abstract
A Fluorescence probe was designed based on 8-hydroxyquinoline chitosan silica precursor (HQCS) for selective detection of Al3+, Cu2+. The HQCS has no observable fluorescence signal, but after the addition of Al3+, a huge fluorescence signal appeared, and the selective quenching was absorbed after the addition of Cu2+. The effect of other different cations, including Cu2+, Mg2+, Ca2+, Pb2+, Zn2+, Hg2+, Ag+, Fe3+, and K+ was studied. The addition of Cu2+ to the probe (HQCSAL) decreased the fluorescence very repeatable, and the variation of the fluorescence vs. Cu2+ was monotonic and linear. Therefore, the prepared probe was used to determine Cu2+ ions in real samples. The mechanism of fluorescence variation by adding cations to the probe solution was studied using the Stern-Volmer equation. Under the optimum conditions, the linear range and detection limit were 3.5-31 μM and 1 μM, respectively. The probe accuracy on the copper determination in the blood and tap waters was comparable to the ICP-OES results. The circuit logic gate mimic was designed for the fluorescence behavior of the probe constituents.

Abstract
CN- and Hg2+ ions are harmful to both the environment and human health, even at trace levels. Thus, alternative methods for their detection and quantification are highly desirable given that the traditional monitoring systems are expensive and require qualified personnel. Optical chemosensors (probes) have revolutionized the sensing of different species due to their high specificity and sensitivity, corresponding with their modular design. They have also been used in aqueous media and different pH ranges, facilitating their applications in various samples. The design of molecular probes is based on organic dyes, where the key species are N-heterocyclic compounds (NHCs) due to their proven photophysical properties, biocompatibility, and synthetic versatility, which favor diverse applications. Accordingly, this review aims to provide an overview of the reports from 2016 to 2021, in which fluorescent probes based on five- and six-membered N-heterocycles are used for the detection of CN- and Hg2+ ions.

Abstract
In this study, we developed a novel dual-analytical platform for the visual, sensitive, and reliable analysis of mercury ions (Hg2+) in environmental water samples. Importantly, thymine (T)-rich DNA probes were utilized to form T-Hg2+-T base pairs in the presence of Hg2+ to ensure the specificity of the method. We synthesized new luminescent tris(4,4'-dicarboxylicacid-2,2'-bipyridyl) ruthenium (II) dichloride (Ru(dcbpy)32+)-modified metal-polydopamine frameworks (MPFs@Ru), which were then applied to construct an electrochemiluminescence (ECL) system for the first time, and it achieved accurate and sensitive quantitative detection of Hg2+. To achieve rapid on-site determination, a multicolorimetric system based on a smartphone was established by inducing deposition of silver shells on gold nanorods (Au NRs). Under optimized conditions, the dual-modal assay showed an excellent response for Hg2+ in the linear range of 2 pmol L-1 to 500 nmol L-1, with a low detection limit of 0.32 pmol L-1. Moreover, the proposed method demonstrated satisfactory selectivity, stability, and acceptable reproducibility for the detection of Hg2+. The recovery of lake water samples ranged from 98.53% to 111.97% for the ECL method and from 95.04% to 106.11% for the colorimetric method, indicating the potential applicability of the proposed method for monitoring environmental water samples.

Abstract
The sensitive detection and quantitative separation of toxic heavy metal ions in aqueous media are of great importance. In this study, a thermogelling poly(ε-caprolactone)-poly(ethylene glycol)-poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL-PEG-PCL) triblock copolymer (P1) was synthesized, and difluoroboron dipyrromethene (BODIPY) fluorophore integrated with thiosemicarbazide units was attached to the chain ends of P1 through consecutive post-polymerization modifications, leading to P4. P4 exhibited rapid and selective detection of Hg(II) in 100% aqueous media via turn-on fluorescence emission with a limit of detection (LOD) of as low as 0.461 μM. This turn-on emission behavior is attributed to the suppression of C˭N isomerization caused by the formation of a coordination complex between P4 and Hg(II) ions. The selective and quantitative removal of Hg(II) among various metal ions was achieved by trapping chelated Hg(II) ions inside the dehydrated P4 gel via thermo-controlled sol-gel-dehydrated gel transitions. Treating the Hg(II) ion-trapped dehydrated gels with sodium sulfide (Na2S) in acetone/water at room temperature led to HgS precipitates, and P4 in solution was dried and recycled. This recyclable thermoresponsive macromolecular probe is promising for not only Hg(II) detection but also its separation and removal from complex aqueous environments.

Abstract
The design of multifunctional sensors based on biocompatible hybrid materials consisting of conjugated polythiophene-quantum dots for multiple environmental pollutants is a promising strategy for the development of new monitoring technologies. Herein, we present a new approach for the "on-off-on" sensing of Hg2+ and triacetone triperoxide (TATP) based on amphiphilic polythiophene-coated CdTe QDs (PQDs, PLQY ∼78%). The emission of the PQDs is quenched by Hg2+ ions via electron transfer interactions. Based on the strong interaction between TATP and Hg2+ ions, the addition of TATP to the PQD-Hg2+ complex results in a remarkable recovery of the PQD emission. Under the optimized conditions, the PQD sensor shows a good linear response to Hg2+ and TATP with detection limits of 7.4 nM and 0.055 mg L-1, respectively. Furthermore, the "on-off-on" sensor demonstrates good biocompatibility, high stability, and excellent selectivity in the presence of other metal ions and common explosives. Importantly, the proposed method can be used to determine the level of Hg2+ and TATP in environmental water samples.

Abstract
Cadmium highly toxic and hazardous, and it can adversely affect human health leading to serious disorders. Herein, a water-soluble near-infrared sensor based on aza-BODIPY (1) was developed for dual determination of Cd2+ in environmental and biological media. This sensor exhibited color change from colorless to green along with a fluorescence enhancement in the near-infrared (NIR) region via photoinduced electron transfer (PET) after complexation with Cd2+. Sensor 1 can be employed in aqueous media at physiological pH for quantitative monitoring. It shows rapid response with high sensitivity (detection limit of 2.8 ppb; linear correlation over [Cd2+] 1.33 - 6.67 µM) and selectivity over potentially interfering ions. NIR sensor 1 can be used to determine [Cd2+] in living cells and environmental samples.

Abstract
It is momentous to exploit rapid, specific and on-site detection methods for mercury ion (Hg2+) in loess, as the severe toxicity of Hg2+ and the fragile ecological environment of Loess Plateau. In this paper, a novel fluorescent probe DC-Hg (Dicoumarin-Hg) was synthesized by 3-hydroxybiscoumarin and phenyl thiochloroformate at room temperature. DC-Hg could exclusively combine with Hg2+ to 'turn-on' yellow fluorescence at 530 nm among various other metal ions. The relationship between the remarkable increase in intensity and concentration of Hg2+ was associated with photoinduced electron transfer (PET), which was founded by Job's plot and 1H NMR. The limit detection of DC-Hg showed to 85.25 nM in aqueous medium, which could be applied to varying situations. For the loess samples, they were only extracted by hand-shake and filtration for quickly complete the treatment operation on site, and the results proved that DC-Hg could satisfactorily detect the Hg2+ in mercury pollution areas.

Novel Hg (II) selective fluorescent green sensor based on carbon dots synthesized from starch and functionalized with methimazole. ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2021; 213:112043. [PMID: 33588189 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2021.112043] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/11/2020] [Revised: 01/14/2021] [Accepted: 02/08/2021] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
We describe a green new method for the synthesis of water-soluble photoluminescent carbon dots (CDs) that were functionalized with methimazole (MTZ) and applied to determine Hg2+ based on the fluorescence extinction. Starch obtained from rice was used as a natural source for the production of CDs by hydrothermal treatment. Also, it was proposed a factorial design to optimize the parameters for CD synthesis and the results showed that the luminescence intensity is a function of temperature and not of the heating time in the hydrothermal process. The synthesized CDs were characterized using fluorescence techniques, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and UV-Vis spectroscopy. Through transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS), it was found the formation of CDs on a nanometer scale with an average size of 11 nm. The functionalization with MTZ, eliminated all interferences from other metals, indicating a selective response to Hg2+ ions. The method was applied to Hg2+ determination in waters. Under optimal conditions, was obtained a limit of detection of 1.8 × 10-7 mol L-1 with a linear range from 3.3 × 10-7 to 50.0 × 10-6 mol L-1. Therefore, the proposed method can be considered a simple, selective, and precise alternative that minimizes the number of reagents used for Hg2+ determination in natural waters, and can be applied on a large scale in environmental analyzes.

Abstract
After introducing the concept of charge transfer (CT) complex formation by Mulliken and the discovery of crystalline picrate (association of picric acid and aromatic hydrocarbons) by Fritzsches, a large interest has been drawn in this field. CT complexes have been explored and exploited for different applications for several decades. The research has been aimed mostly for discovering and characterizing new CT materials and exploring applications mainly in the field of optoelectronic properties, antimicrobial activities and DNA/protein binding properties for the last six years. However, nowadays, CT complexes are exploited for their photocatalytic activities and designing chemosensors for the colorimetric real-time detection of hazardous materials like nitro explosives, anions and toxic heavy metal ions in an aqueous medium. This review sheds light on updates on CT complexes, their types, synthesis and applications. The brief discussion on the emergence of CT complexes as highly potential chemosensors along with the explanation of sensing mechanism through article summarization is the centerpiece of this review. The final outcomes are discussed and concluded.

Abstract
A novel dual-channel chemosensor, 7-allylquinolin-8-ol (AQ), was synthesized based on 8-hydroxyquinoline for selective fluorescence detection of Hg2+ and colorimetric recognition of Cu2+. The chemosensor reacted with Hg2+ and generated a new Hg-containing compound with significantly enhanced fluorescence, which turned from faint blue to strong green. Further experiments indicated that AQ could be used to quantitatively detect Hg2+ via fluorescence spectroscopy with a low detection limit (2.1 nM). The good reversibility of the synthesized chemosensor was also demonstrated using NaBH4. Moreover, AQ was successfully used for the detection of Cu2+ through the formation of a stable coordination compound, which exhibited an ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) ratiometric change, while its color changed from colorless to pale yellow under natural light. Additional experiments using various Cu2+ concentrations showed that the developed chemosensor could be further employed for the quantitative ratiometric estimation of Cu2+ by UV-Vis.

Abstract
Among various known hydroxyquinolines, 8-hydroxyquinoline (8-HQ) is the most prevalent moiety due to excellent property for the formation of the complex with different metal ions and anions, and utilized in a wide variety of applications in pharmacological and medicinal fields. 8-Hydroxyquinoline moiety and its analogues acts as fluorophoric ligands on complex formation with alkali and alkaline as well as transition metal ions and anions, thus, considered as an ideal building block in metallo-supramolecular chemistry for recognition, separation, and quantitative investigation of cations. 8-Hydroxyquinoline moiety is also used in various applications for the advancement of novel fluorescent chemosensors in a wide variety of areas viz., material chemistry, bioorganic chemistry, molecular imaging, analytical chemistry, molecular recognition, medical and biological science communities. The present review emphasises on the progress of sensing properties of 8-HQ centred small-molecule fluorescent chemosensors towards several metal ions viz., Fe3+ , Al3+ , Ag+ , Hg2+ , Cu2+ , Pd2+ , Zn2+ , Cr3+ , Cd2+ , Mn2+ , Ca2+ , and K+ and anions such as F- , CN- and PPi, from 2008 to 2020, because of their sensitivity and selectivity in terms of diverse colour changes for different species. This critical and comprehensive review might facilitate the improvement of more prevailing chemosensors for future exciting and broad applications.

Abstract
Sensing heavy metal ions particularly for the most toxic Hg2+ is a long-term pursuit for chemists because of its obvious and extreme harmfulness to both the environment and human health. Herein, a novel 'turn-on' perylenebisimide-thiourea fluorescent probe PBI-BTB is achieved for rapid detection of Hg2+ in a DMSO/H2O (5/1, v/v) solution through a typical Hg2+-promoting desulfurization reaction, which has been investigated through Job's plot titration, FT-IR, 1H NMR and HRMS analysis. A remarkable fluorescence emission enhancement at 540 and 580 nm is observed in the presence of Hg2+, which is visible to the naked eye with high selectivity and sensitivity. Moreover, probe PBI-BTB combined strong anti-interference recognition with short response time (< 1 min). The rapid fluorescence response with low limit of detection (0.35 μM) in a wide pH range of 3.0-11.0 makes PBI-BTB a promising candidate for detection of Hg2+ without any buffer system. Furthermore, the practicability of probe PBI-BTB upon the Hg2+ recognition in human liver cancer cells (HepG-2) has been studied through fluorescent live cell imaging which reveals the probe's low toxicity to organism as well as the favorable cell permeability of PBI-BTB for detecting Hg2+ in biological systems.

Abstract
In this work, we have synthesized nitrobenzoxadiazole-antipyrine conjugate 1 from chloro substituted nitrobenzoxadiazole (NBD) with 4-aminoantipyrine by an elegant method which provides good yield and it is characterized by various spectroscopic techniques. The sensing ability of compound 1 is analyzed with the addition of different metal ions and anions in an aqueous methanol medium. It shows rapid colorimetric response for Hg2+ and CN- ions over a wide range of competitive metal ions and anions. On addition of Hg2+/CN- ions, 1 shows a distinct color change from pale yellow to pink and orange red, respectively, thus permitting chemosensor 1 to be used for 'naked eye' detection of Hg2+ and CN- ions. The change in spectral features and color of 1 with the addition of Hg2+ and CN- ions is mainly due to the formation of a charge-transfer complex (12-Hg2+) and cyanide ion induced deprotonation of 1. The interaction between the Hg2+/CN- ion and 1 is characterized by mass spectrometry and 1H-NMR spectral titrations. In addition, sensor 1 is reversible and reusable and it can be developed as an INHIBIT type logic gate. Compound 1 detects Hg2+ and CN- ions upto 2.57 × 10-8 M and 1.67 × 10-7 M, respectively. Further, compound 1 pre-coated test strips detect Hg2+ and CN- ions and they provide a simple and convenient method for determination of Hg2+/CN- ions.

Abstract
In this research, nitrogen co-doped carbon dots were synthesized by solid thermal method with citric acid used as the precursor of carbon, and melamine as nitrogen source. Such carbon dots show high quantum yield of 44%. Furthermore, the native fluorescence of CDs can be reduced by mercury(II), while other metals had no significant influence on fluorescence intensity. During the study, the optimal parameters were selected, such as pH or time for incubation with analyte. Under the optimal conditions, quenching effect caused by mercury ions was evaluated. It was observed that with increasing mercury concentration, the fluorescence of the carbon dots decreased proportionally. The response was characterized by linearity within the range from 2 to 14 μM. Moreover, the limit of detection was 0.44 μM. It was the first time that human milk was used as a real sample to test the applicability of carbon dots. The study results demonstrated good recovery in the 74-111% range (RSD < 6%) As a novel carbon material, CDs show promise for broader applications in analyzing complicated biological samples.
