JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 470:134269. [PMID: 38613952 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.134269] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/21/2024] [Revised: 03/28/2024] [Accepted: 04/09/2024] [Indexed: 04/15/2024]
Abstract
Mercury (Hg) is one of the most widespread pollutants that pose serious threats to public health and the environment. People are inevitably exposed to Hg via different routes, such as respiration, dermal contact, drinking or diet. Hg poisoning could cause gingivitis, inflammation, vomiting and diarrhea, respiratory distress or even death. Especially during the developmental stage, there is considerable harm to the brain development of young children, causing serious symptoms such as intellectual disability and motor impairments, and delayed neural development. Therefore, it's of great significance to develop a specific, quick, practical and labor-saving assay for monitoring Hg2+. Herein, a mitochondria-targeted dual (excitation 700 nm and emission 728 nm) near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent probe JZ-1 was synthesized to detect Hg2+, which is a turn-on fluorescent probe designed based on the rhodamine fluorophore thiolactone, with advantages of swift response, great selectivity, and robust anti-interference capability. Cell fluorescence imaging results showed that JZ-1 could selectively target mitochondria in HeLa cells and monitor exogenous Hg2+. More importantly, JZ-1 has been successfully used to monitor gastrointestinal damage of acute mercury poisoning in a drug-induced mouse model, which provided a great method for sensing Hg species in living subjects, as well as for prenatal diagnosis.

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
The Cambridge Structural Database was evaluated for crystals containing Se…O chalcogen bonding interactions. These secondary bonding interactions are found to operate independently of complementary intermolecular interactions in about 13% of the structures they can potentially form. This number rises significantly when more specific interactions are considered, e.g. Se…O(carbonyl) interactions occur in 50% of cases where they can potentially form. In about 55% of cases, the supramolecular assemblies sustained by Se…O(oxygen) interactions are one-dimensional architectures, with the next most prominent being zero-dimensional assemblies, at 30%.

Abstract
A triazole-bridged coumarin conjugated quinoline sensor has been 'click'-synthesized by Cu(i) catalyzed Huisgen cycloaddition, and it exhibited high selectivity for toxic Hg2+. Surprisingly, no evidence of energy transfer from the quinoline moiety to coumarin has been found, substantiated by time-resolved fluorescence study. The possible binding mode of this sensor to Hg2+ has been established via NMR study, steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy, which is further supported by TDDFT calculations. The sensor has been found to be cell membrane permeable and non-toxic, and hence is suitable for intracellular Hg2+ detection.

Abstract
Fluorescence spectroscopy is a common technique used to monitor early metallic corrosion. The fluorescence response characteristics of rhodamine-ethylenediamine toward Cu2+ have been studied using fluorescence and infrared spectroscopy. Fluorescence microscopy and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy were used to study the monitoring effect of rhodamine-ethylenediamine on the corrosion of copper relics protected by an epoxy coating. The results showed a strong fluorescent response and selectivity toward Cu2+ that existed using rhodamine-ethylenediamine. Early metallic corrosion of copper relics can be effectively monitored upon adding 0.8 wt % rhodamine-ethylenediamine to an epoxy coating. When the soaking time was increased, the fluorescence intensity of the fluorescent area on the coating became stronger. In addition, the area of the luminous coating reached ∼0.06 mm2 and the area of corrosion under the protective coating was ∼0.008 mm2, which was about 1/10 of the fluorescence area observed on the coating.

Abstract
A novel acridine-based fluorescent chemosensor, BK ((E)-2-((acridine-9-ylimino)methyl)-N-benzhydrylhydrazine-1-carbothioamide), for monitoring ClO- was prepared. The sensor BK was synthesized by introducing a new synthetic route of making aldehyde group using formic hydrazide. Probe BK displayed notable fluorescence quenching in the presence of ClO- and showed a great selectivity over other guest analytes. The detection limit was calculated to be 7.65 μM. Additionally, BK was satisfactorily applied for sensing ClO- in water samples and zebrafish.

Abstract
Emerging from the origins of supramolecular chemistry and the development of selective chemical receptors that rely on lock-and-key binding, activity-based sensing (ABS)-which utilizes molecular reactivity rather than molecular recognition for analyte detection-has rapidly grown into a distinct field to investigate the production and regulation of chemical species that mediate biological signaling and stress pathways, particularly metal ions and small molecules. Chemical reactions exploit the diverse chemical reactivity of biological species to enable the development of selective and sensitive synthetic methods to decipher their contributions within complex living environments. The broad utility of this reaction-driven approach facilitates application to imaging platforms ranging from fluorescence, luminescence, photoacoustic, magnetic resonance, and positron emission tomography modalities. ABS methods are also being expanded to other fields, such as drug and materials discovery.

Abstract
It is highly challenging to develop fast and sensitive fluorescent methods for monitoring organic mercury in purely aqueous solutions as well as live cells. Especially, selective fluorescent detection of methylmercury over inorganic mercury ions has not been reported. We developed a fast and sensitive fluorescent detection method for Hg2+ ions as well as methylmercury using an amino acid-based fluorescent probe (1) and SDS micelles. The fluorescent probe in SDS micelles detected sensitively and selectively Hg2+ ions and methylmercury among 16 metal ions in purely aqueous solution by the enhancement of the red emission at 575 nm, and the detection of methylmercury was completed within 1 min. The probe in SDS micelles with EDTA showed highly sensitive and selective turn on detection for methylmercury over Hg2+. The limit of detection was 9.1 nM for Hg2+ (1.8 ppb, R2 = 0.989) and 206 nM for CH3Hg+ (R2 = 0.997). 1 rapidly penetrated live cells and detected intracellular Hg2+ ions as well as CH3Hg+ by the enhancement of both red emissions and green emissions. Subsequent treatment of EDTA into the cell confirmed the selective detection of methylmercury in the cells. The present work indicated that the fluorescent probe with micelle systems provided a fast, sensitive, and selective detection method for monitoring inorganic mercury as well as methyl mercury.

Abstract
Mercury-mediated chelate ring formation and subsequent aggregation gives strong fluorescence for rapid and selective sensing of Hg2+ and organomercury.
Rapid, reliable and highly selective detection of mercury species, including Hg2+ ions and organomercury, is of significant importance for environmental protection and human health. Herein, a new fluorescent dye 1,1,2,2-tetrakis[4-(3-methyl-1H-benzimidazol-1-yl)phenyl ethylene tetraiodide (Tmbipe) with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) potential was prepared and characterized. The presence of four positively charged methylated benzimidazole groups endows Tmbipe with excellent water solubility and almost undetectable background fluorescence. However, it can coordinate with two Hg2+ ions or two organomercury molecules (e.g. methylmercury and phenylmercury) to form a planar dinuclear HgII tetracarbene complex, which can then self-aggregate to turn on AIE fluorescence. Such a fluorescence turn-on process can be completed in 3 min. In addition, synergic rigidification of the tetraphenylethylene-bridged Tmbipe molecule by mercury-mediated chelate ring formation and subsequent aggregation results in obviously higher fluorescence enhancement than that given by the single aggregation-induced one. Low background, high fluorescence enhancement and rapid response time make Tmbipe a good fluorescent probe for reliable, sensitive and highly selective quantitation of both inorganic and organic mercury species. This probe was also demonstrated to work well for identification of mercury species accumulation in living cells.

Since their inception, these efforts have led to many new sensors that have found wide applications in the fields of chemistry, biology, environmental science, and physiology. The search for fluorescent chemosensors was initiated by a few pioneering groups in the late 1970s and 1980s and blossomed during the last two decades to include more than hundreds of research groups around the world. The targets for these sensors vary from metal ions, anions, reactive oxygen/nitrogen species, biothiols, and toxic gases. Our group has made contributions to this area in last 18 years. In this perspective, we briefly introduce the history of chemosensors and review studies that we have carried out.

Abstract
Three π-extended anthracene-bearing thioacetals (1-3) have been synthesized, and their fluorescence "turn-on" responses to Hg2+ ions are studied. The chemodosimetric fluorescence-sensing behavior and their resulting hydrolysis via a desulfurization reaction mechanism leads to the formation of highly fluorescent respective aldehyde substitutions. Furthermore, this mechanism was supported by increase in the quantum yields of their resulting aldehydes and is correlated to their molecular substitution. The chemosensors 1-3 have exhibited to be promising receptors toward Hg2+ ions in the presence of other competitive metal ions. Moreover, the detection limits of 1-3 have been found to be in the nanomolar range (94, 59, and 235, respectively). Fluorescence microscopic imaging studies show that 1-2 have been found to be effective for fluorescence imaging in live cells. Moreover, compounds 1-3 act as potential candidates for the detection of Hg2+ in environmental and biological systems as well as real samples.

Abstract
A new isoindoline-based highly efficient turn-on fluorescent chemodosimeter S with a thioamide functionality as a binding site for selective detection of Hg2+ ion has been developed. The chemodosimeter S showed an extreme selectivity for detection of Hg2+ ion among various two and three-valent metal ions in acetonitrile/water (70/30, v/v). It was found that, in the presence of Hg2+ ion the non-fluorescent chemodosimeter S was efficiently and rapidly desulfurized to the corresponding highly fluorescent amide 1. A good linear relationship was shown between the fluorescence intensity and the concentration of Hg2+ within the range of 0-1μM, with a detection limit of 2.03×10-8M.

Abstract
Due to the simplicity and low detection limit, especially the bioimaging ability for cells, fluorescence probes serve as unique detection methods. With the aid of molecular recognition and specific organic reactions, research on fluorescent imaging probes has blossomed during the last decade. Especially, reaction based fluorescent probes have been proven to be highly selective for specific analytes. This review highlights our recent progress on fluorescent imaging probes for biologically important species, such as biothiols, reactive oxygen species, reactive nitrogen species, metal ions including Zn2+, Hg2+, Cu2+ and Au3+, and anions including cyanide and adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

Abstract
By intelligent design, a new "turn-on" fluorescent probe (1-CN) was obtained based on the deprotection reaction of the dithioacetal promoted by Hg2+ ions, which could sense mercury ions sensitively and selectively, with the detection limit of 8×10(-7) M. Thanks to the apparent turn-on signal, 1-CN has been successfully applied to rapidly detect trace amounts of mercury ions as test strips and cell image.

Abstract
Methylmercury (CH3Hg(+)), the common organic source of mercury, is well-known as one of the most toxic compounds that is more toxic than inorganic or elemental mercury. In seabeds, the deposited Hg(2+) ions are converted into CH3Hg(+) by bacteria, where they are subsequently consumed and bioaccumulated in the tissue of fish, and finally, to enter the human diet, causing severe health problems. Therefore, sensitive and selective detection of bioaccumulation of CH3Hg(+) in fish samples is desirable. However, selective assay of CH3Hg(+) in the mercury-containing samples has been seriously hampered by the difficulty to distinguish CH3Hg(+) from ionic mercury. We report here that metal amalgamation, a natural phenomenon occurring between mercury atoms and certain metal atoms, combining with DNA-protected silver nanoparticles, can be used to detect CH3Hg(+) with high sensitivity and superior selectivity over Hg(2+) and other heavy metals. In our proposed approach, discrimination between CH3Hg(+) and Hg(2+) ions was realized by forming Ag/Hg amalgam with a CH3Hg(+)-specific scaffold. We have found that Ag/Hg amalgam can be formed on a CH3Hg(+)-specific DNA template between silver atoms and mercury atoms but cannot between silver atoms and CH3Hg(+). With a dye-labeled DNA strand, the sensor can detect CH3Hg(+) down to the picomolar level, which is >125-fold sensitive over Hg(2+). Moreover, the presence of 50-fold Hg(2+) and 10(6)-fold other metal ions do not interfere with the CH3Hg(+) detection. The results shown herein have important implications for the fast, easy, and selective detection and monitoring of CH3Hg(+) in environmental and biological samples.

Abstract
As scientists in recent decades have discovered, selenium is an important trace element in life. The element is now known to play an important role in biology as an enzymatic antioxidant. In this case, it sits at the active site and converts biological hydrogen peroxides to water. Mimicking this reaction, chemists have synthesized several organoselenium compounds that undergo redox transformations. As such, these types of compounds are important in the future of both medicinal and materials chemistry. One main challenge for organochalcogen chemists has been to synthesize molecular probes that are soluble in water where a selenium or tellurium center can best modify electronics of the molecule based on a chemical oxidation or reduction event. In this Account, we discuss chemists' recent efforts to create chalcogen-based chemosensors through synthetic means and current photophysical understanding. Our work has focused on small chromophoric or fluorophoric molecules, in which we incorporate discrete organochalcogen atoms (e.g., R-Se-R, R-Te-R) in predesigned sites. These synthetic molecules, involving rational synthetic pathways, allow us to chemoselectively oxidize compounds and to study the level of analyte selectivity by way of their optical responses. All the reports we discussed here deal with well-defined and small synthetic molecular systems. With a large number of reports published over the last few years, many have notably originated from the laboratory of K. Han (P. R. China). This growing body of research has given chemists new ideas for the previously untenable reversible reactive oxygen species detection. While reversibility of the probe is technically important from the stand-point of the chalcogen center, facile regenerability of the probe using a secondary analyte to recover the initial probe is a very promising avenue. This is because (bio)chalcogen chemistry is extremely rich and bioinspired and continues to yield important developments across many scientific fields. Organochalcogen (R-E-R) chemistry in such chemical recognition and supramolecular pursuits is a fundamental tool to allow chemists to explore stable organic-based probe modalities of interest to develop better spectroscopic tools for (neuro)biological applications. Chalcogen donor sites also provide sites where metals can coordinate, and facile oxidation may extend to the sulfone analogues (R-EO2-R) or beyond. Consequently, chemists can then make use of reliable reversible chemical probing platforms based on the chemical redox properties valence state switching principally from 2 to 4 (and back to 2) of selenium and tellurium atoms. The main organic molecular skeletons have involved chemical frames including boron-dipyrromethene (BODIPY) systems, extended cyanine groups, naphthalimide, rhodamine, and fluorescein cores, and isoselenazolone, pyrene, coumarin, benzoselenadiazole, and selenoguanine systems. Our group has tested many such molecular probe systems in cellular milieu and under a series of conditions and competitive environments. We have found that the most important analytes have been reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as superoxide and hypochlorite. Reactive nitrogen species (RNS) such as peroxynitrite are also potential targets. In addition, we have also considered Fenton chemistry systems. Our research and that of others shows that the action of ROS is often reversible with H2S or biothiols such as glutathione (GSH). We have also found that a second class of analytes are the thiols (RSH), in particular, biothiols. Here, the target group might involve an R-Se-Se-R group. The study of analytes also extends to metal ions, for example, Hg(2+), and anions such as fluoride (F(-)), and we have developed NIR-based systems as well. These work through various photomechanisms, including photoinduced electron transfer (PET), twisted internal charge transfer (TICT), and internal charge transfer (ICT). The growing understanding of this class of probe suggests that there is much room for creative thinking regarding modular designs or unexpected organic chemical synthesis designs, interplay between analytes, new analyte selectivity, biological targeting, and chemical switching, which can also serve to further the neurological probing and molecular logic gating frontiers.

Abstract
A new fluorescent chemosensor based on a Rhodamine B and pyrrole conjugate (RBPY) has been designed and synthesized. UV-vis absorption and fluorescence spectroscopic studies show that RBPY exhibits a high selectivity and sensitivity toward Fe(3+) among many other metal cations in a MeOH/H2O solution (3:2, v/v, pH 7.10, HEPES buffer, 0.1mM) by forming a 1:1 complex with Fe(3+). Furthermore, results reveal that the formation of the RBPY-Fe(3+) complex is fully reversible in the presence of sulfide anions and could also be used as an efficient sensor for S(2-). Importantly, fluorescence microscopy experiments further demonstrated that RBPY can be utilized as a fluorescent probe for the detection of Fe(3+) in human liver (L-02) cells.

Abstract
A simple Schiff-base receptor 7-methoxychromone-3-carbaldehyde-(pyridylformyl) hydrazone (MCNH) was prepared. It exhibits an "off-on-type" mode with high sensitivity in the presence of Al(3+). This compound could be used as Al(3+) probe in ethanol and it features visible light excitation (433 nm) and emission (503 nm) profiles. Upon binding of Al(3+), a significant fluorescence enhancement with a turn-on ratio over 800-fold was triggered. However, other metal ions had no such significant effect on the fluorescence. MCNH can also be used as a colorimetric chemosensor for Al(3+), which is easily observed from colorless to yellow-green by the naked-eye. The detection limit of MCNH for Al(3+) was as low as 1.9×10(-7) M.

Abstract
Two new Hg(2+)-colorimetric and fluorescent sensors based on 2-[3-(2-aminoethylsulfanyl) propylsulfanyl]ethanamine covalently bound to one and two units of rhodamine-6G moieties, 1 and 2, were synthesised, and their sensing behaviors toward metal ions were investigated by UV/Vis and fluorescence spectroscopy. Upon the addition of Hg(2+), the sensors exhibited highly sensitive "turn-on" fluorescence enhancement as well as a color change from colorless to pink, which was readily noticeable for naked eye detection. Especially, 1 exhibited the reversible behavior and revealed a very high selectivity in the presence of competitive ions, particularly Cu(2+), Ag(+), Pb(2+), Ca(2+), Cd(2+), Co(2+), Fe(2+), Mn(2+), Na(+), Ni(2+), K(+), Ba(2+), Li(+) and Zn(2+), with a low detection limit of 1.7 ppb toward Hg(2+).

Abstract
Upconversion detection nanocomposites were assembled for the selective luminescent detection of mercury ions in water. A hydrophobic cyclometallated ruthenium complex [Ru(II)(bpy)2(thpy)]PF6 (abbreviated as Ru1; bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine and thpy = 2-(2-thienyl)pyridine) is employed as a chemodosimeter to assemble on amphiphilic polymer-coating upconversion nanophosphors (UCNPs) based on the hydrophobic-hydrophobic interaction. Upon addition of Hg(2+), the nanocomposite not only exhibits a remarkable color change from deep-red to yellow, but also an enhanced upconversion luminescence (UCL) emission by hindering the luminescent resonance energy transfer (LRET) process from the upconversion emission of UCNPs to Ru1. Using the ratiometric UCL emission as a detection signal, the detection limit of Hg(2+) for this nanoprobe in aqueous solution is 8.2 ppb, which is much lower than that (329 ppb) determined by UV/Vis technology. Such an Hg(2+)-tunable LRET process provides a general strategy for fabricating a water-soluble upconversion-based nanoprobe for some special analyte.

Abstract
The fluorophores based on xanthene scaffolds, mainly containing rhodamine and fluorescein dyes, have attracted considerable interest from chemists due to their excellent photophysical properties such as high absorption coefficient, high fluorescence quantum yield, high photostability and relatively long wavelengths of fluorescence emission spectra. In this feature article, we overview the strategies in the development of fluorescent probes that are operating through the modification of the skeletons of fluorescein and rhodamine dyes, and the fluorescent behaviors of these probes toward specific analyte are discussed.

Abstract
A novel FRET fluorescent sensor for Hg2+ imaging in living cells is rationally designed based on a coumarin-rhodamine platform. RBC1 exhibit high selectivity and excellent sensitivity in both absorbance and fluorescence detection of Hg2+ in aqueous solution. After addition of increasing concentrations of Hg2+, it result in the decrease of coumarin emission at 467 nm and a new emission profile of rhodamine at 590 nm gradually increased. The response time to Hg2+ is less than 2 min, and other metal ions including Fe2+, Mn2+, Ni2+, Co2+, Cu2+, Zn2+, Cd2+, Pb2+, and Cr3+ had no interference. In addition, fluorescent imaging of Hg2+ in A375 cells is also successfully demonstrated. The design strategy of two fluorophores switching in this work would help to extend the development of FRET fluorescent sensors.
