Abstract
We designed and developed the probe W-3 for detection of Cu2+. The results showed probe can selectively detect Cu2+, accompanied by noticeable color change. The probe can detect the Cu2+ in water samples and drinks based on absorption detection. In addition, the combination of portable test paper and the smartphone platform obtained great convenience for on-site and visual detection of Cu2+, with satisfactory sensitivity and reliability. More importantly, the fluorescence probe W-3 can be used for the detection of Cu2+ in cells and mice. Therefore, the W-3 provided potential chemical tools for detecting Cu2+ in vitro and vivo.

Abstract
A novel reaction-based ratiometric fluorescent probe 1 for Cu2+ using picolinate as the reaction site and hemicyanine as the fluorophore was developed. 1 displayed maximum absorption peak at 355 nm and fluorescence emission peak at 500 nm, with large Stokes shift of 145 nm. Upon reaction with Cu2+, the maximum absorption and fluorescence emission peaks red-shifted to 390 nm and 570 nm respectively, owing to Cu2+-induced hydrolysis of the picolinate moiety in 1. Meanwhile, the solution of 1 turned from green to orange under a 365 nm UV lamp. 1 not only could detect Cu2+ ratiometrically by the ratios of both absorbance (A390 nm/A355 nm) and fluorescence intensity (F570 nm/F500 nm), but also displayed large Stokes shift, fast response, high sensitivity and excellent selectivity over other metal ions in neat aqueous solution.

Abstract
Based on the typical Suzuki coupling reaction and Schiff base reaction, a novel fluorescent molecular PCBW is synthesized and applied as a fluorescence and colorimetric sensor to detect Cu2+ in aqueous solution. The PCBW sensor presents the aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) effect and at 1 × 10-5 mol L-1 it emits the strongest turquoise fluorescence in the DMSO-H2O system (fw = 40%). The sensor exhibits a 'turn-off' fluorescent characteristic by adding Cu2+, and its fluorescent intensity shows a reliable linear relationship with the Cu2+ concentration in the range of 0-6 × 10-6 mol L-1, with a detection limit of 1.19 × 10-8 mol L-1. Meanwhile, the PCBW sensor also exhibits the colorimetric sensing from colorless to light yellow. The sensor has good selectivity and anti-interference and its pH application range can be extended from 5 to 10. The intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) is speculated as the main fluorescence mechanism of PCBW. In addition, the sensor presents good reusability and is practicable to detect Cu2+ in diverse aqueous samples.

Abstract
Anions and cations have a key role in our normal life. Cu2+ ion is a crucial trace element accountable for the part of several cellular enzymes and proteins, including cytochrome c oxidase, dopamine monooxygenase, Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase, and ceruloplasmin. WHO has found the extreme acceptable level of Cu2+ ions in drinking water is up to 2.0 ppm. Excess use of Cu2+ ions is associated with various human genetic disorders. Thus, the visualization of Cu2+ ions to avoid its toxic effects in chemical and biological systems is significant. In this review we have summarized sensors based on catalytic hydrolysis of picolinate to detect Cu2+ ions. The sensors based on hydrolysis of picolinate are very selective as compared to the other sensors for Cu2+ ions detection. We have focused on describing the structure, spectral properties, detection limits, and bioimaging model of the sensors.

Abstract
A novel fluorescent probe L consisting of β-Cyclodextrin (β-CD) and thiosemicarbazide moieties was designed for copper ions detection. Apparent fluorescence quenching of probe L in Tris-HCl(pH = 7.4)solution was observed only in the presence of Cu2+, among other interfering ions. The present probe L was 1:1 complexed with Cu2+ and the detection limit of probe L was calculated to be 1.37 μM. The results demonstrate that the probe L may provide a convenient method for visual detection of Cu2+ in the environmental and biological systems.

Abstract
A new ruthenium complex-based luminescent probe Ru-impa for Cu2+ and pH detection has been synthesized and characterized. Ru-impa could rapidly and selectively detect Cu2+ in aqueous solutions and the working pH ranges from weakly acidic to alkaline. The detection limit calculated using the S/N and S/B ratio was 24.7 nM and 3.4 μM, respectively. The test strips for practical detecting application were also prepared and the actual detection limit in drinking water was found to be 3 μM, which is lower than the WHO-guided drinking water limit (30 µM) and the upper limit of human serum free copper content (1.7-3.9 μM). Luminescence imaging study showed that Ru-impa could monitor Cu2+ level fluctuation in the cells. In addition, Ru-impa also shows a sensitive on-off luminescence response when pH > 10, indicating that it can also be used as a pH sensor under extremely alkaline conditions.

Abstract
A dual-emissive optical material as a ratiometric fluorescent probe has been demonstrated to be remarkably superior in precise and quantitative analyses. Herein, a novel dual-emissive fluorescent probe Eu-BDC-OH was designed and successfully synthesized using Eu3+ and 2-hydroxyterephthalic acid (H2BDC-OH) at room temperature. Eu-BDC-OH has a three-dimensional interpenetrating network structure with a large number of exposed hydroxyl functional groups, providing abundant active sites for molecular recognition. In particular, the as-obtained Eu-BDC-OH serves as a unique fluorescent probe, and the double emission peaks of both the ligand and Eu3+ are completely quenched by Fe3+. However, it is worth noting that the dual emissions of Eu-BDC-OH enable the ratiometric detection of Fe2+, which leads to an increase in ligand emission and a decrease in Eu3+ emission, accompanied by a distinct red to blue color transition. The relative fluorescence intensity ratio (I618 nm/I433 nm) decreased linearly with increasing Fe2+ concentration in the 0-50 μM range with a superior detection limit of 0.32 μM. In this work, a fluorescent probe based on a MOF was developed for the recognition of Fe2+ and Fe3+, providing a promising strategy for the synthesis of novel dual-emission materials by integrating suitable luminescent ligands with lanthanide metal ions.

Abstract
The chirality of amino acids plays an important role in biological and medical sciences. The development of achiral small-molecule probes that can simultaneously determine the absolute configuration, enantiomeric excess, and total concentration of amino acids is significant. We reported the currently available achiral coumarin aldehyde probe that could form Schiff bases with free amino acids at room temperature to induce CD signals and change UV-vis signals. The red-shifted UV-vis signals were independent of the substrate's chirality and could be used to determine the total concentration. Conversely, the enantioselective CD signals could be used to determine the absolute configuration and enantiomeric excess. The usefulness and practicability of this sensing method were demonstrated by analyzing 6 non-racemic phenylalanine samples with different enantiomeric compositions and concentrations.

Abstract
A highly selective OFF–ON fluorescent probe is developed for the sensing of Cu2+ based on the hydrolysis of a quinoline-2-carboxylate moiety. The probe is weakly fluorescent due to esterification of the phenolic group. Upon treatment with 1 equiv. of Cu2+, the probe exhibits strong fluorescence at 570 nm. The probe also exhibits high selectivity for Cu2+ over other cations with a low detection limit of 0.2 μM, which is sensitive enough to meet the standard of the World Health Organization for Cu2+ in drinking water (30 μM). Moreover, the probe shows a very low cell cytotoxicity, and imaging experiments demonstrate that the probe can be used for the sensing of Cu2+ in living cells.

Abstract
Three enhanced fluorescence probes based on Rhodamine B-Schiff base structure were synthesized for detecting Cu2+. The corresponding detection limits were found to be 0.25 μM, 0.15 μM and 0.18 μM. Binding ratio and binding sites were determined by Job's and nuclear magnetic titration experiments. The binding constants obtained by the Benesi-Hildebrand equation to be 341.0 M-0.5,1.8 × 104 M-1, and 265.4 M-0.5, respectively. As isomers, the different effects of probes on Cu2+ detection were researched. By adjusting the position and the size of the substituent group, the effects of binding sites and steric hindrance on the complexation ratio, response time and detection limit were discussed. Optimal spatial combination structure with Cu2+ was obtained through energy calculation. Detection mechanism of Rhodamine B ring opening based on the complex of the Schiff base with Cu2+ was confirmed. E. coli staining and detection of real water samples had expanded their applications.

Abstract
A photoinduced electron transfer (PET) and chelation-enhanced fluorescence (CHEF) regulated rhodamine-azobenzene chemosensor (L) was synthesized for chemoselective detection of Al3+, Cr3+, and Cu2+ by UV-Visible absorption study whereas Al3+ and Cr3+ by fluorimetric study in EtOH-H2O solvent. L showed a clear fluorescence emission enhancement of 21 and 16 fold upon addition of Al3+ and Cr3+ due to the 1:1 host-guest complexation, respectively. This is first report on rhodamine-azobenzene based Cr3+ chemosensor. The complex formation, restricted imine isomerization, inhibition of PET (photo-induced electron transfer) process with the concomitant opening of the spirolactam ring induced a turn-on fluorescence response. The higher binding constants 6.7 × 103 M-1 and 3.8 × 103 M-1 for Al3+ and Cr3+, respectively and lower detection limits 1 × 10-6 M and 2 × 10-6 M for Al3+ and Cr3+, respectively in a buffered solution with high reversible nature describes the potential of L as an effective tool for detecting Al3+ and Cr3+ in a biological system with higher intracellular resolution. Finally, L was used to map the intracellular concentration of Al3+ and Cr3+ in human lymphocyte cells (HLCs) at physiological pH very effectively. Altogether, our findings will pave the way for designing new chemosensors for multiple analytes and those chemosensors will be effective for cell imaging study.

Abstract
Ratiometric fluorescent probes based on FRET mechanism have attracted great attention due to their large pseudo-Stokes shifts and built-in correction for environmental effects. However, most donors failed to meet the requirement that the emission of the donor must overlap well with the absorption of the acceptor. Therefore, searching for new fluorophore to construct FRET system is in great need. In this paper, a new fluorescent dye pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridine was synthesized and used as a donor in the FRET system for ratiometric sensing of Cu2+. The probe is based on FRET and PET mechanism. It shows high selectivity and sensitivity toward Cu2+ (detection limit 30 nM). Furthermore, it was successfully used to detect Cu2+ in Glioma cells.

Abstract
A methionine methyl ester-modified coumarin derivative was designed and synthesized, which could discriminate Cu2+ from other metal ions in HEPES buffer (10 mM, pH 7.4)/CH3CN (40:60, V/V). The detection limit of WM toward Cu2+ was 1.84 × 10-7 M, which was lower than the concentration of Cu2+ in drinking water suggested by WHO and EPA. And the proposed coordination mode exhibiting the interaction between WM and Cu2+ was studied by UV-Vis, fluorescence spectrum, ESI-MS and FT-IR. Based on the fluorescent reversibility of WM, WM was considered as a molecular logic gate and molecular keypad lock. In addition, the test strips and the silica gel plates prepared from the solution of WM also demonstrate the favorable selectivity toward Cu2+.

Abstract
In this work, we have strategically incorporated a quinoxaline derivative and a diaminomaleonitrile moiety to construct a chemosensor, 2-amino-3-[(quinoxalin-2-ylmethylene)-amino]-but-2-enedinitrile (H2qm). The notable feature of this strategy is to generate a highly conjugated Schiff base platform with interesting binding properties. Remarkably, H2qm exhibited a visual sensing ability towards Cu2+ in 100% aqueous medium. The effectiveness of the chemosensor has been demonstrated by utilizing it to determine the Cu2+ concentration in real samples. Interestingly, the reaction between H2qm and Cu(ClO4)2·6H2O in DMSO yielded a quinoxaline-2-carboxylic acid based compound and single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis unveiled the resulting structure as [(qa)2Cu(H2O)2] (Hqa = quinoxaline-2-carboxylic acid).

Abstract
A new oligothiophene functionalized Schiff base sensor 3TDC has been successfully designed and synthesized. Sensor 3TDC exhibited "naked-eye" colorimetric and selective "on-off" fluorescence response toward Cu2+ with high selectivity and sensitivity within a wide pH range. The binding ratio of the sensor 3TDC and Cu2+ was determined to be 1:1 through fluorescence titration, Job's plot, 1H NMR titration, FTIR and DFT studies. The detection limit is calculated to be as low as 2.81 × 10-8 M, which is much lower than the allowable level of Cu2+ in drinking water set by U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (~20 μM) and the World Health Organization (~30 μM). The binding constant (Ka) of Cu2+ to sensor 3TDC was found to be 2.52 × 104 M-1. Sensor 3TDC for Cu2+ detection exhibited fast fluorescence response within 30 s and high anti-interference performance. Moreover, sensor 3TDC could be used as an effective fluorescent sensor for detecting Cu2+ ions in various real water and food samples with good accuracy and high precision.

Abstract
A simple asymmetric hydrazone 1 based on salicylaldehyde was designed and prepared, and exhibited an evident aggregation-induced emission (AIE) at a long wavelength of 570 nm in aqueous medium. Probe 1 can selectively sense Al3+ in CH3OH solution through the chelation-enhanced fluorescence mechanism and also recognize Cu2+ via fluorescence quenching in H2O solution through the Cu2+-induced assembly of aggregates.

Abstract
A fluorescent sensor L based on a pyrazolopyrimidine core simultaneously detects Cu2+ and Ni2+ ions by photoluminescence quenching, even in the presence of other metal cations. Sensor L possesses high association constants of 5.24 × 103 M-1 and 2.85 × 104 M-1 and low detection limits of 0.043 μM and 0.038 μM for Cu2+ and Ni2+, respectively. The binding stoichiometry ratios of L to Cu2+ or Ni2+ is 1:1 as determined by Benesi-Hildebrand and Job's plots, and by crystal structures. DFT calculations on L-Cu2+ indicated reduced electron donation from the coordinated pyrazolopyridine to the fused pyrimidine and pendant phenyl group which, together with a smaller HOMO-LUMO orbital gap could favour non-radiative decay and explain the observed fluorescence quenching. Sensor L possessed low cytotoxicity and good imaging characteristics for Cu2+ and Ni2+ in living cells, suggesting potential applications for detecting Cu2+ and Ni2+in vivo.

Abstract
Two novel highly selective quinoline-based fluorescent probes (1 and 2) with an aggregation induced emission (AIE) feature have been designed and synthesized for the rapid analysis of Cu2+ ions in aqueous media and on paper strips with a fluorescence quenching mechanism. Moreover, probes 1 and 2 exhibit excellent sensitivity and anti-interference for Cu2+ detection, and the detection limits are as low as 1.3 × 10-8 M and 8.5 × 10-8 M, respectively, which are much lower than the allowable standard of Cu2+ (∼20 μM) in drinking water (EPA). More importantly, these two probes were successfully applied for the determination of Cu2+ in real aqueous samples and fabrication of simple device test strips for rapid and on-site detection of Cu2+ ions. Interestingly, they can also be regenerated by adding an excess of S2-. Additionally, the crystallographic structure of probe 1 was confirmed through a single crystal X-ray study. Job's plot analysis and ESI-MS spectroscopic studies reflect the 1 : 1 complexation of the 1-Cu2+ and 2-Cu2+ complexes. Furthermore, DFT/TDDFT calculations were performed in order to help in understanding the electronic properties of the complexes and the chelation-induced quenching mechanism.

Abstract
Herein, we report the synthesis and characterization of a chemosensor, 5-(diethylamino)-2-(2,3-dihydro-1H-perimidin-2-yl)phenol (HL), synthesized from a condensation between 4-(diethylamino)salicylaldehyde and 1,8-diaminonaphthalene. Upon investigation of the sensing properties of HL, it was found that this sensor may be employed for simple yet efficient detection of Cu2+ in aqueous methanol solutions. The selective and ratiometric response to Cu2+ yielded an outstandingly low limit of detection of 3.7 nM by spectrophotometry and is also useful as a naked-eye sensor from 2.5 μM. The system was studied by spectrophotometric pH titrations to determine Cu2+ binding constants and complex speciation. Binding of Cu2+ to HL occurs in 1:1 stoichiometry, in good agreement with high-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-HRMS) results, Cu2+ titrations, and Job's plot experiments, while the coordination geometry was tentatively assigned as square pyramidal by spectroscopic studies.

Abstract
In this work, a sensitive potentiometric resolved ratiometric photoelectrochemical aptasensor for Escherichia coli (E. coli) detection was successfully fabricated with non-metallic nanomaterials. To avoid the use of precious metals or heavy metals, three-dimensional graphene hydrogel-loaded carbon quantum dots (C-dots/3DGH) and graphene-like carbon nitride (g-C3N4) with excellent PEC activity and matched potential were prepared. These two materials were modified onto two adjacent areas on the ITO electrode. By applying different bias voltage, the cathodic current generated by C-dots/3DGH and the anodic current generated by g-C3N4 can be clearly distinguished and would not interfere with one another. Then E. coli aptamer was modified onto the surface of C-dots/3DGH. In the presence of targets, the binding of E. coli with aptamer lead to the steric hindrance greatly increased and the cathodic current decreased significantly. Meanwhile, the anodic current generated by g-C3N4 was not influenced and it can serve as a stable reference to evaluate the environmental factors. Therefore, the concentration of E. coli can be quantified by the ratio of cathodic current to anodic current, which can effectively eliminate these analyte-independent factors and provide a more precise analysis. In addition, this ratiometric PEC biosensor also showed a good sensitivity and a wide linear range (2.9 cfu/mL to 2.9 × 106 cfu/mL).

Abstract
A novel type of graphene-like quantum dots, synthesized by oxidation and cage-opening of C60 buckminsterfullerene, has been studied as a fluorescent and absorptive probe for heavy-metal ions. The lattice structure of such unfolded fullerene quantum dots (UFQDs) is distinct from that of graphene since it includes both carbon hexagons and pentagons. The basic optical properties, however, are similar to those of regular graphene oxide quantum dots. On the other hand, UFQDs behave quite differently in the presence of heavy-metal ions, in that multiple sensitivity to Cu2+, Pb2+ and As(III) was observed through comparable quenching of the fluorescent emission and different variations of the transmittance spectrum. By dynamic light scattering measurements and transmission electron microscope (TEM) images we confirmed, for the first time in metal sensing, that this response is due to multiple complexation and subsequent aggregation of UFQDs. Nonetheless, the explanation of the distinct behaviour of transmittance in the presence of As(III) and the formation of precipitate with Pb2+ require further studies. These differences, however, also make it possible to discriminate between the three metal ions in view of the implementation of a selective multiple sensor.
