Abstract
The development of optical sensors for metal ions has gained significant attention due to their broad applications in biology, the environment, and medicine. Colorimetric and fluorometric detection methods are particularly valued for their simplicity, cost-effectiveness, high detection limits, and analytical power. Among various chemical probes, the hydrazone functional group stands out for its extensive study and utility, owing to its ease of synthesis and adaptability. This review provides a comprehensive overview of N-acylhydrazone-based probes, serving as highly effective colorimetric and fluorometric chemosensors for a diverse range of metal ions. Probes are categorized into single-ion, dual-ion, and multi-ion chemosensors, each further classified based on the detected metal(s). Additionally, the review discusses detection modes, detection limits, association constants, and spectroscopic measurements.

Abstract
A new photochromic fluorescence chemosensor was devised and effectively synthesized using benzothiazole and imidazopyridine derivatives. A "turn-on" fluorescence sensor BIPP for Zn2+ detection was developed and has a quick response, excellent sensitivity, and remarkable selectivity over other metal ions. When Zn2+ was added to the BIPP solution, a new strong fluorescence emission peak at 542 nm formed with a considerable increase in intensity. The fluorescence color of the BIPP solution changed from blue to bright green. The binding ratio 8 : 2 was found between BIPP and Zn2+ by the results of Job's plot, HRMS and 1H-NMR. The detection limit (LOD) of BIPP towards Zn2+ was determined to be 2.36 × 10-8, which is remarkably low. The ability to detect Zn2+ in real water samples demonstrates that BIPP may also be used in environmental systems. Additionally, BIPP can be used to measure Zn2+ levels in living cells.

Abstract
A quinoline-based hydrazone, namely, bis((quinolin-8-yl)methylene)carbonohydrazide (1), has been designed and synthesized, which could be used as a dual probe for selective recognition of Co2+ and Zn2+ by monitoring changes in absorption and fluorescence spectral pattern, respectively. The detection limits of 1 for these two ions are 0.21 and 0.66 μM, respectively. The complex formation between 1 and Co2+/Zn2+ is responsible for the detection process, as confirmed through several spectral methods and DFT calculations. The application of the as-synthesized sensor is demonstrated in Zn2+ imaging in living cells.

Abstract
Development of fluorescence-based sensory materials for metal elements is currently in the mainstream of research due to the simplicity and usability of fluorescence as a method of detection. Herein, we report a novel "bis"-quinoline-based acyl hydrazone-named bQH that could be synthesized by a facile, low-cost method through simple condensation of hydrazide with an aldehyde. This acyl hydrazone showed emissive properties through Zn selective binding, especially in its solid-state, as shown by experiments such as UV-Vis, photoluminescence (PL), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and inductively-coupled plasma-optical emission spectroscopies (ICP-OES), and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) mapping. The binding modes in which bQH coordinates to Zn2+ was proved to consist of two modes, 1:1 and 1:2 (bQH:Zn2+), where the binding mode was controlled by the Zn2+ ion content. Under the 1:1 binding mode, bQH-Zn2+ complexes formed a polymeric array through the metallo-supramolecular assembly. The resulting bQH-Zn2+ complex maintained its fluorescence in solid-state and exhibited excellent fluorescence intensity as compared to the previously reported quinoline-based acyl hydrazone derivative (mQH).

Abstract
The structural and optical evolution of the ZnS thin films prepared by atomic layer deposition (ALD) from the diethylzinc (DEZ) and 1,5-pentanedithiol (PDT) as zinc and sulfur precursors was studied. A deposited ZnS layer (of about 60 nm) is amorphous, with a significant S excess. After annealing, the stoichiometry improved for annealing temperatures ≥400 °C and annealing time ≥2 h, and 1:1 stoichiometry was obtained when annealed at 500 °C for 4 h. ZnS crystallized into small crystallites (1–7 nm) with cubic sphalerite structure, which remained stable under the applied annealing conditions. The size of the crystallites (D) tended to decrease with annealing temperature, in agreement with the EDS data (decreased content of both S and Zn with annealing temperature); the D for samples annealed at 600 °C (for the time ≤2 h) was always the smallest. Both reflectivity and ellipsometric spectra showed characteristics typical for quantum confinement (distinct dips/peaks in UV spectral region). It can thus be concluded that the amorphous ZnS layer obtained at a relatively low temperature (150 °C) from organic S precursor transformed into the layers built of small ZnS nanocrystals of cubic structure after annealing at a temperature range of 300–600 °C under Ar atmosphere.

Abstract
One of the greatest challenges in using fluorescent chemosensors for highly selective and sensitive transition-metal ions is finding an efficient and simple method for its synthesis. In this study, a highly efficient fluorescence chemosensor for ZnII was developed from N-Boc-L-proline modified 1,8-naphthyridine. The fluorescence intensity of the chemosensor was increased significantly only in the presence of ZnII ion which provided a perceived color change for rapid visual sensing, while other metal ions showed fluorescence quenching or little changes. It was worth noting that the chemosensor L distinguished ZnII from CdII commonly having similar properties. The solvent effect and possible bonding mode for fluorescence enhancement have been also discussed. Results of this study indicated that the Boc-group in l-proline significantly improved the sensitivity and selectivity for ZnII detection performance, as confirmed by comparison experiments and time dependent-density functional theory (TD-DFT) calculations.
