Anal Chim Acta 2023; 1253:341033. [PMID: 36965988 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2023.341033] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/08/2022] [Revised: 02/28/2023] [Accepted: 03/01/2023] [Indexed: 03/09/2023]
Abstract
Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), which is mainly composed of hydrocarbons, such as propane and butane, is a flammable gas that is considered a clean source of energy. Currently, the overwhelming use of LPG as fuel in vehicles, domestic settings, and industry has led to several incidents and deaths globally due to leakage. As a result, the appropriate detection of LPG is vital; thus, gas-sensing devices that can monitor this gas rapidly and accurately at room temperature, are required. This work reviews the current advances in LPG gas sensors, which operate at room temperature. The influences of the synthesis methods and parameters, doping, and use of catalysts on the sensing performance are discussed. The formation of heterostructures made from semiconducting metal oxides, polymers, and graphene-based materials, which enhance the sensor selectivity and sensitivity, is also discussed. The future trends and challenges confronted in the advancement of LPG room temperature operational gas sensors, and critical ideas concerning the future evolution of LPG gas sensors, are deliberated. Additionally, the advancements in the next-generation gas sensors, such as the wireless detection of LPG leakage, self-powered sensors driven by triboelectric/piezoelectric mechanisms, and artificial intelligent systems are also reviewed. This review further focuses on the use of smartphones to circumvent the use of costly instruments and paves the way for cost-efficient and portable monitoring of LPG. Finally, the approach of utilizing the Internet of Things (IoT) to detect/monitor the leakage of LPG has also been discussed, which will provide better alerts to the users and thus minimize the effects of leakages.

Therapeutic potential of oxo-triarylmethyl (oxTAM) as a targeted drug delivery system for nitrosourea and fluorouracil anticancer drugs; A first principles insight. J Mol Graph Model 2023; 122:108469.

Abstract
In this study, oxygenated triarylmethyl (oxTAM) is investigated by DFT calculations as a drug carrier framework for Nitrosourea (NU) and Fluorouracil (FU) drugs. Based on the adsorption analysis i.e., energies and distances between interacting atoms, it is found that oxTAM exhibits excellent carrier abilities for the delivery of FU (-1.53 eV & 2.00 Å) and NU (-1.33 eV & 2.12 Å) drugs. NCI and QTAIM results indicate the presence of hydrogen bonding in drug-carrier complexes. The values of dipole moment and global chemical descriptors show the significant reactivity of oxTAM for NU and FU drugs. Based on electronic property analysis, FU@oxTAM has a higher adsorption trend for complexation with oxTAM as compared to NU@oxTAM. Moreover, FU can easily release from the carrier due to the decreasing adsorption stability after protonation under an acidic environment as well as a short recovery time observed for the oxTAM carrier surface. Keeping in view all the above parameters, we inferred that oxTAM can serve as a potential drug delivery system for anticancer drugs including, Nitrosourea and Fluorouracil drugs.

Abstract
We investigated hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) sensing on NH2-functionalized carbon dots (Cdots) for three different -NH2 positions, and the N atom was found to be the active site using a quantum computational approach. B3LYP and 6-31G(d,p) were used for density functional theory (DFT) ground state calculations, whereas CAM-B3LYP and the same basis set were used in time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) excited state calculations. Structural optimization showed that the H2O2 is chemisorbed on 1-sim via a C-N⋯H hydrogen bond interaction with an adsorption energy of -10.61 kcal mol-1. Mulliken atomic charge distributions and electrostatic potential (ESP) analysis were both used to determine reactivity of the molecules at the atomic level. For in-depth analysis of the ground states, we utilized Frontier molecular orbital (FMO) theory, quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM), and non-covalent interaction (NCI) index analysis. In addition, we also present UV-vis absorption spectra and charge transfer lengths to understand the mechanism of H2O2 sensing in excited states. Based on the molecular and electronic properties of the NH2-Cdots, it was shown that 1-sim is a potential candidate for use as an electrochemical sensor for H2O2 sensing. Whereas 3-sim is believed to be a potential candidate for use as an optical sensor of H2O2 based on the UV-vis characteristics via photoinduced charge transfer.

Abstract
V-series nerve agents are very lethal to health and cause the inactivation of acetylcholinesterase which leads to neuromuscular paralysis and, finally, death. Therefore, rapid detection and elimination of V-series nerve agents are very important. Herein, we have carried out a theoretical investigation of carbon nitride quantum dots (C2N) as an electrochemical sensor for the detection of V-series nerve agents, including VX, VS, VE, VG, and VM. Adsorption of V-series nerve agents on C2N quantum dots is explored at M05-2X/6-31++G(d,p) level of theory. The level of theory chosen is quite adequate in systems describing non-bonding interactions. The adsorption behavior of nerve agents is characterized by interaction energy, non-covalent interaction (NCI), Bader's quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM), frontier molecular orbital (FMO), electron density difference (EDD), and charge transfer analysis. The computed adsorption energies of the studied complexes are in the range of -12.93 to -17.81 kcal/mol, which indicates the nerve agents are physiosorbed onto C2N surface through non-covalent interactions. The non-covalent interactions between V-series and C2N are confirmed through NCI and QTAIM analysis. EDD analysis is carried out to understand electron density shifting, which is further validated by natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis. FMO analysis is used to estimate the changes in energy gap of C2N on complexation through HOMO-LUMO energies. These findings suggest that C2N surface is highly selective toward VX, and it might be a promising candidate for the detection of V-series nerve agents.

Abstract
Graphyne (GYN) has received immense attention in gas adsorption applications due to its large surface area. The adsorption of toxic ammonia and nitrogen halides gaseous molecules on graphyne has been theoretically studied at ωB97XD/6-31 + G(d, p) level of DFT. The counterpoise corrected interaction energies of NH3, NF3, NCl3, and NBr3 molecules with GYN are - 4.73, - 2.27, - 5.22, and - 7.19 kcal mol-1, respectively. Symmetry-adapted perturbation theory (SAPT0) and noncovalent interaction index (NCI) reveal that the noncovalent interaction between analytes and GYN is dominated by dispersion forces. The significant change in electronic behavior, i.e., energies of HOMO and LUMO orbitals and NBO charge transfer correspond to the pronounced sensitivity of GYN towards considered analytes, especially NBr3. Finally, TD-DFT calculation reveals a decrease in electronic transition energies and shifting of adsorption to a longer wavelength. The recovery time for NX3@GYN is observed in nanoseconds, which is many orders of magnitude smaller than the reported systems. The recovery time is further decreased with increasing temperature, indicating that the GYN benefits from a short recovery time as a chemical sensor.

Inclusive DFT insight into sensing mechanism of cyclotetrapyrole towards lung irritants. J Mol Model 2022; 28:110.

Abstract
The development of smart sensing devices for toxic analytes detection especially lung irritants is much essential. The cyclic conducting polymers having infinite π-conjugation are proved to be highly sensitive for toxic analytes. Herein, by using the DFT approach, we investigated the sensing mechanism of cyclotetrapyrole (CTPy) for accurate detection of phosgene, diphosgene, chloropicrin and chlorine at the B3LYP-D3/6-31 + G (d, p) level. The calculated interaction energies show the physisorption of analytes over the CTPy surface. Natural bond orbital (NBO) and charge decomposition (CDA) analyses predict charge transfer interactions in the complexes. The reduced density gradient (RDG) approach reveals that hydrogen bonding interactions dominate in the complexes. The sensitivity of CTPy towards lung irritants is further illustrated by the reduction in HOMO-LUMO energy gaps, red shifting of [Formula: see text] in UV-Visible spectra. Density of state (DOS) analysis affirm that enhanced conductivity upon complexation is due to the origination of new energy states in occupied and virtual orbitals nearer to the Fermi level. Moreover, PDOS spectra show that CTPy primarily contributes to the energy of HOMO. The outcome of the current study depicts appreciable sensitivity of CTPy towards lung irritants. Moreover, the competing role of naturally occurring atmospheric water is also investigated. We believe that the upshot of the current findings and their forecasts will provide useful guidelines for an experimentalist to design highly sensitive sensors for toxic analytes using CTPy. HIGHLIGHTS: • The highest QNBO transfer towards the analyte (- 0.121) is seen in the chlorine@CTPy complex. • The highest reduction in Eg (61%) between occupied and virtual orbitals is noticed in chlorine@CTPy. • The orbital overlap results in a 41% red shifting of [Formula: see text] in chlorine@CTPy. • Cyclotetrapyrole is highly sensitive for chlorine.

Abstract
Tetraphenylethylene (TPE) can be used to construct fluorescent probes with typical aggregation-induced emission (AIE) behavior for next-generation sensing applications. McMurry coupling and Suzuki cross coupling strategies provided the desired sensor thiophene-substituted tetraphenylethylene (THTPE). The synthesized TPE analogues were characterized by NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. Maximum AIE of THTPE was observed in 90% water (H2O/THF) content due to extensive formation of aggregates. The AIE properties of THTPE have been utilized for facile detection of nitroaromatic compounds (NACs) (1.0 nM) through a fluorescence quenching mechanism. A paper strip adsorbed with the AIE-based THTPE fluorophore is developed for rapid and convenient detection of NAC-based analytes. Further, interaction of THTPE with analytes is also studied via Gaussian software at the DFT/B3LYP/6-31G(d) level of theory. Interaction energy, frontier molecular orbitals (FMOs), and non-covalent interaction (NCI) analyses are studied by using the same method. Computational results revealed that nitrobenzene (NB) has the strongest interaction while 1,3-dinitrobenzene (DNB) exhibits the least interaction with the sensor molecule. These computational results clearly demonstrate good agreement with experimental data.

Abstract
Though the gas sensing applications of graphdiyne have widely reported; however, the biosensing utility of graphdiyne needs to be explored. This study deals with the sensitivity of graphdiyne nanoflake (GDY) towards the uric acid (UA) within the density functional framework. The uric acid is allowed to interact with graphdiyne nanoflake from all the possible orientations. Based on these interacting geometries, the complexes are differentiated with naming, i.e., UA1@GDY, UA2@GDY, UA3@GDY, and UA4@GDY (Fig. 1). The essence of interface interactions of UA on GDY is derived by computing geometric, energetic, electronic, and optical properties. The adsorbing affinity of complexes is evaluated at ωB97XD/6-31 + G(d, p) level of theory. The stabilities of the complexes are quantified through the interaction energies (Eint) with reasonable accuracy. The calculated Eint of the UA1@GDY, UA2@GDY, UA3@GDY, and UA4@GDY complexes are - 31.13, - 25.87, - 20.59, and - 16.54 kcal/mol, respectively. In comparison with geometries, it is revealed that the higher stability of complexes is facilitated by π-π stacking. Other energetic analyses including symmetry adopted perturbation theory (SAPT), noncovalent interaction index (NCI), and quantum theory of atoms in molecule (QTAIM) provide the evidence of dominating dispersion energy in stabilizing the resultant complexes. The HOMO-LUMO energies, NBO charge transfer, and UV-vis analysis justify the higher electronic transition in UA1@GDY, plays a role of higher sensitivity of GDY towards the π-stacked geometries over all other possible interaction orientations. The present findings bestow the higher sensitivity of GDY towards uric acid via π-stacking interactions. Fig. 1 Optimized geometries (with interaction distances in Å) of UA@GDY complexes.

Effective adsorption of A-series chemical warfare agents on graphdiyne nanoflake: a DFT study. J Mol Model 2021; 27:117.

Abstract
Chemical warfare agents (CWAs) are highly poisonous and their presence may cause diverse effects not only on living organisms but also on environment. Therefore, their detection and removal in a short time span is very important. In this regard, here the utility of graphdiyne (GDY) nanoflake is studied theoretically as an electrochemical sensor material for the hazardous CWAs including A-230, A-232, and A-234. Herein, we explain the phenomenon of adsorption of A-series CWAs on GDY nanoflake within the density functional theory (DFT) framework. The characterisation of adsorption is based on optimised geometries, BSSE-corrected energies, SAPT0, RDG, FMO, CHELPG charge transfer, QTAIM and UV-Vis analyses. The calculated counterpoise adsorption energies for reported complexes range from - 13.70 to - 17.19 kcal mol-1. These adsorption energies show that analytes are physiosorbed onto GDY which usually takes place through noncovalent interactions. The noncovalent adsorption of CWAs on GDY is also attributed by the SAPT0, RDG and QTAIM analyses. These properties also reveal that dispersion factors dominate in the complexes among many noncovalent components (exchange, induction, electrostatic, steric and repulsion). In order to estimate the sensitivity of GDY, the %sensitivity and average energy gap variations are quantitatively measured by energies of HOMO and LUMO orbitals. In terms of adsorption affinity of GDY, UV-Vis analysis, CHELPG charge transfer and DOS analyses depict an appreciable response towards these toxic CWAs. Graphical abstract.

Abstract
The electronic attributes and energetics of ε-arsenene nanosheet (ε-As) are explored with regard to the density functional theory basis. Initially, based on formation energy (-3.715 eV/atom), we ensured the structural firmness of ε-As. The ε-As is used as a base substrate to adsorb nucleobases viz., adenine (A), guanine (G), thymine (T), cytosine (C) & uracil (U). The surface adsorption of nucleobases on ε-As is analysed based on band structure, the density of states, adsorption energy, energy gap variation & charge transfer. Besides, we observed the exothermic nature of binding energy (ranging from -0.453 eV to -0.819 eV) upon nucleobase adsorption on ε-As. Also, the energy gap variation & charge transfer takes place owing to adsorption of nucleobases on the ε-As sheet. The present report reveals the adsorption of nucleobases on ε-arsenene nanosheet.

Abstract
The chemo sensing features of red tricycle arsenene nanosheet (RTANS), a monolayer obtained from allotropes of arsenic is employed in sensing the hazardous vapor nitroglycerin (NG) based on the first-principles investigation. The computations are carried out with the ATK-VNL package. The stability of the RTANS is validated by its formation energy, which is calculated as -4.171 eV/atom. The adsorption energy, Bader charge transfer, energy gap, and its variation after adsorption are the essential parameters that hold up the discussion on RTANS base material as an efficient chemical sensor. Moreover, the target vapor NG is physisorbed on RTANS. Besides, all the essential parameters have been investigated for the interaction of NG on RTANS. The comprehensive study reveals that RTANS can be used as a chemical sensor for the detection of nitroglycerin vapors.
