Abstract
Herein, a simple hydrothermal synthesis is used to prepare multiple heteroatom-doped photoluminescent carbon dots (CDs) from thiourea (N and S source) and boric acid (B source) as precursors. The optical and physicochemical properties of the as-synthesized NSB-CDs were studied using UV-Vis, photoluminescence, TEM, FT-IR, XRD, Raman, and XPS analyses. The NSB-CDs exhibited excellent stability, high photostability, pH, and ionic strength tolerance; they retained their excellent stability independent of excitation. The NSB-CDs featured small sizes of approximately 3.2 ± 0.4 nm (range: 2.0-5.0 nm) as evidenced using TEM measurements. The NSB-CDs were used as a photoluminescent sensing platform to detect Fe3+ as well as cysteine (Cys) molecules. The competitive binding of Cys to Fe3+ resulted in NSB-CDs that retained their photoluminescence. For the rapid identification and quantification of Fe3+ and Cys, NSB-CDs were developed as a "switch-on" dual-function sensing platform. The linear detection range of Fe3+ was 0-20 μM (limit of detection [LOD]: 54.4 nM) and that of Cys was 0-50 μM (LOD: 4.9 nM). We also introduced a smartphone RGB analysis method for detecting low-concentration solutions based on digital images. The NSB-CDs showed no toxicity at 100 μg/mL. Photoluminescent probes for multicolor live-cell imaging can be used with NSB-CDs at this concentration, suggesting that NSB-CDs may be promising photoluminescent probes.

Abstract
Synthetic molecular probes, chemosensors, and nanosensors used in combination with innovative assay protocols hold great potential for the development of robust, low-cost, and fast-responding sensors that are applicable in biofluids (urine, blood, and saliva). Particularly, the development of sensors for metabolites, neurotransmitters, drugs, and inorganic ions is highly desirable due to a lack of suitable biosensors. In addition, the monitoring and analysis of metabolic and signaling networks in cells and organisms by optical probes and chemosensors is becoming increasingly important in molecular biology and medicine. Thus, new perspectives for personalized diagnostics, theranostics, and biochemical/medical research will be unlocked when standing limitations of artificial binders and receptors are overcome. In this review, we survey synthetic sensing systems that have promising (future) application potential for the detection of small molecules, cations, and anions in aqueous media and biofluids. Special attention was given to sensing systems that provide a readily measurable optical signal through dynamic covalent chemistry, supramolecular host-guest interactions, or nanoparticles featuring plasmonic effects. This review shall also enable the reader to evaluate the current performance of molecular probes, chemosensors, and nanosensors in terms of sensitivity and selectivity with respect to practical requirement, and thereby inspiring new ideas for the development of further advanced systems.

Abstract
Colorimetric sensors from N-butyl-3,6-disubstituted carbazole derivatives containing nitroazobenzene (1) and nitrobenzene (2) were designed, synthesized and compared for their anion sensing ability. Computational simulations were undertaken to determine the optimum geometry of 1. Anion sensing studies revealed that selectivity in anion detection depended on the polarity of solvent, acidity of binding unit and basicity of the anion. The ability to sense via naked eye observations using the strong basic anions (F- and CN-) for both sensors arises from a deprotonation process at the binding sites attributed to the intramolecular charge transfer transition at the sensory unit. The discrimination of F- from CN- has been achieved by the optimization of solvent polarity. Sensor 1 offers a promising property over sensor 2 with a lower detection limit, a few of anion interference and higher stability.

Abstract
There is burgeoning interest among supramolecular chemists to develop novel molecular systems to detect biogenic amines and bio-thiols in aqueous and non-aqueous media due to their potential role in biological processes. Biogenic amines are biologically important targets because of their involvement in the energy metabolism of human biological systems and their requirement is met through food and nutrition. However, the increasing instances of serious health problems due to food toxicity have raised the quality of food nowadays. Biogenic amines have been frequently considered as the markers or primary quality parameters of foods like antioxidant properties, freshness and spoilage. For instance, these amines such as spermine, spermidine, cadavarine, etc. may originate during microbial decarboxylation of amino acids of fermented foods/beverages. These amines may also react with nitrite available in certain meat products and concomitantly produce carcinogenic nitrosamine compounds. On the other hand, it is also well established that biothiols, particularly, thiol amino acids, provide the basic characteristics to food including flavor, color and texture that determine its acceptability. For instance, the reduction of thiol groups produces hydrogen sulfide which reduces flavour as in rotten eggs and spoiled fish, and the presence of hydrogen sulfide in fish is indicative of spoilage. Thus, biogenic amines and bio-thiols have attracted the profound interest of researchers as analytical tools for their quantification. Much scientific and technological information is issued every year, where the establishment of precise interactions of biogenic amines and bio-thiols with other molecules is sought in aqueous and non-aqueous media. This review summarizes the optical chemosensors developed for the selective detection of biogenic amines and bio-thiols.
