Abstract
We have synthesized a one-pot, three-component pyran-based fluorescence chemosensor using onion extract as a green catalyst. The confirmed structure of the 1:2 binding of receptor SPR-2-picric acid adduct revealed that the pyran-based receptor accommodated two guest picric acid molecules through non-covalent interactions. UV-Vis and fluorescence spectroscopy show high selectivity and sensitivity towards picric acid. The 1D/2D NMR and Job's plot analysis show the complexation and stoichiometric binding of the receptor SPR-2 with picric acid are 1:2. The 1H NMR spectral studies confirm that the formation of receptor SPR-2-picric acid adduct via weak hydrogen bonding. The cooperativity of the receptor SPR-2-picric acid adduct shows negative cooperativity due to the weak hydrogen bonding of receptor SPR-2 and picric acid. Further, the density functional theory (DFT) confirmed the molecular level interaction of the SPR-2 and receptor SPR-2-Picric acid adduct. The receptor was effectively used to assess picric acid concentrations in real water samples.

Talanta 2024; 275:126113.

Abstract
We are reporting the two curcumin derivatives, ferrocenyl curcumin (Fc-cur) and 4-nitro-benzylidene curcumin (NBC), as a probe through dual modalities, i.e., fluorescence and electrochemical methods, for the detection of nitro-analytes, such as picric acid (PA). The probes exhibited aggregation-induced enhanced emission (AIEE), and the addition of picric acid (PA) demonstrated good and specific fluorimetric identification of PA in the aggregated state. By using density functional theory (DFT), the mechanism of picric acid's (PA) interactions with the probes was further investigated. DFT studies shows evidence of charge transfer from curcumin derivatives probe to picric acid resulting into the formation of an adduct. The reduction of trinitrophenol (PA) to 2, 4, 6-trinitrosophenol was investigated utilizing a probe-modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) with a good detection limit of 9.63 ± 0.001 pM and 41.01 ± 0.002 pM, respectively, for Fc-cur@GCE and NBC@GCE, taking into account the redox behavior of the probe. The applicability of the designed sensor has been utilized for real-time application in the estimation of picric acid in several water samples collected from the different source.

Abstract
A novel tellurium (Te) containing fluorophore, 1 and its nickel (2) and copper (3) containing metal organic complex (MOC) have been synthesized to exploit their structural and optical properties and to deploy these molecules as fluorescent probes for the selective and sensitive detection of picric acid (PA) over other commonly available nitro-explosives. Furthermore, density functional theory (DFT) and single crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD) techniques revealed the inclusion of "soft" Tellurium (Te) and "hard" Nitrogen (N), Oxygen (O) atoms in the molecular frameworks. Owing to the presence of electron rich "N" and "O" atoms along with "Te" in the molecular framework, 1 could efficiently and selectively sense PA with more than 80 % fluorescence quenching efficiency in organic medium and having detection limit of 4.60 μM. The selective detection of PA compared to other nitro-explosives follows a multi-mechanism based "turn-off" sensing which includes photo-induced electron transfer (PET), electrostatic (π-π stacking and π-anion/cation) interaction, intermolecular hydrogen bonding and inner filter effect (IFE). The test strip study also establishes the sensitivity of 1 for detection of PA.

Abstract
Colorimetric sensing offers instant reporting via visible signals. Versus labor-intensive and instrument-dependent detection methods, colorimetric sensors present advantages including short acquisition time, high throughput screening, low cost, portability, and a user-friendly approach. These advantages have driven substantial growth in colorimetric sensors, particularly in point-of-care (POC) diagnostics. Rapid progress in nanotechnology, materials science, microfluidics technology, biomarker discovery, digital technology, and signal pattern analysis has led to a variety of colorimetric reagents and detection mechanisms, which are fundamental to advance colorimetric sensing applications. This review first summarizes the basic components (e.g., color reagents, recognition interactions, and sampling procedures) in the design of a colorimetric sensing system. It then presents the rationale design and typical examples of POC devices, e.g., lateral flow devices, microfluidic paper-based analytical devices, and wearable sensing devices. Two highlighted colorimetric formats are discussed: combinational and activatable systems based on the sensor-array and lock-and-key mechanisms, respectively. Case discussions in colorimetric assays are organized by the analyte identities. Finally, the review presents challenges and perspectives for the design and development of colorimetric detection schemes as well as applications. The goal of this review is to provide a foundational resource for developing colorimetric systems and underscoring the colorants and mechanisms that facilitate the continuing evolution of POC sensors.

Abstract
The detection of nitroaromatic explosives in real samples is essential for environmental monitoring because of their strongly powerful nature and wide applications in industries. Aggregation-induced emission enhancement (AIEE) active fluorescent probe has been widely employed to detect nitroaromatic explosives. Hereby, a simple V-shaped bispyrene-based fluorescent probe (called py-o) with AIEE properties was designed and synthesized, which was fully charactered by 1D NMR, ESI, FTIR, and 2D NOESY spectra. The py-o displayed bright blue-green fluorescence excimer emission at 480 nm in DMF/H2O (v/v 1:1). It is observed that the fluorescence excimer emission of py-o at 480 nm was quenched by PA in solution with a quenching constant of 5.45 × 104 M-1, and the limit of detection was approximately 0.139 μM. The details of the sensing mechanism were explained using 1H NMR titrations, Job's plot and Bensi-Hildebrand methods, which revealed a 1:1 binding ratio via the π-π interactions between PA and py-o. Meanwhile, it exhibited outstanding anti-interference ability in the detection of PA when interfering analytes were added under the same conditions. Furthermore, low-cost thin-layer chromatography (TLC) plates coated with py-o were developed as fluorescent tools for naked-eye detection of PA in the solid state. Therefore, this work provides a new method for constructing an AIEE fluorescent probe for the detection of nitroaromatic explosives to utilize in environmental monitoring.

Abstract
Homemade explosives, such as peroxides, nitrates, and chlorates, are increasingly abused by terrorists, criminals, and amateur chemists. The starting materials are easily accessible and instructions on how to make the explosives are described on the Internet. Safety considerations raise the need to detect these substances quickly and in low concentrations using simple methods. Conventional methods for the detection of these substances require sophisticated, electrically operated, analytical equipment. The simpler chemical detection methods are multistep and require several chemicals. We have developed a simple, one-step method that works similarly to a pH test strip in terms of handling. The analytical reaction is based on an acid-catalyzed oxidation of an electron-rich porphyrin to an unusually stable radical cation and dication. The detection limit for the peroxide-based explosive triacetone triperoxide (TATP), which is very frequently used by terrorists, is 40 ng and thus low enough to detect the substance without direct contact via the gas phase. It is sufficient to bring the stick close to the substance to observe a color change from red to green. Nitrates and chlorates, such as ammonium nitrate, urea nitrate, or potassium chlorate, are detected by direct contact with a sensitivity of 85-350 ng. A color change from red to dark brown is observed. The test thus detects all homemade explosives and distinguishes between the extremely impact-, shock-, and friction-sensitive peroxides and the less sensitive nitrates and chlorates by color change of a simple test strip.

Abstract
In this study, a sensitive and selective fluorescent chemosensor was developed for the determination of pirimicarb pesticide by adopting the surface molecular imprinting approach. The magnetic molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) nanocomposite was prepared using pirimicarb as the template molecule, CuFe2O4 nanoparticles, and graphene quantum dots as a fluorophore (MIP-CuFe2O4/GQDs). It was then characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique, Fourier transforms infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, scanning electron microscope (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The response surface methodology (RSM) was also employed to optimize and estimate the effective parameters of pirimicarb adsorption by this polymer. According to the experimental results, the average particle size and imprinting factor (IF) of this polymer are 53.61 nm and 2.48, respectively. Moreover, this polymer has an excellent ability to adsorb pirimicarb with a removal percentage of 99.92 at pH = 7.54, initial pirimicarb concentration = 10.17 mg/L, polymer dosage = 840 mg/L, and contact time = 6.15 min. The detection of pirimicarb was performed by fluorescence spectroscopy at a concentration range of 0-50 mg/L, and a sensitivity of 15.808 a.u/mg and a limit of detection of 1.79 mg/L were obtained. Real samples with RSD less than 2 were measured using this chemosensor. Besides, the proposed chemosensor demonstrated remarkable selectivity by checking some other insecticides with similar and different molecular structures to pirimicarb, such as diazinon, deltamethrin, and chlorpyrifos.

Abstract
We present the synthesis of a new oxacalix[4]arene system, DMANSOC, wherein two 5-(dimethylamino)-1-naphthalene sulfonamide subunits are attached to the lower rims of the basic oxacalix[4]arene platform. Extensive spectrophotometric studies were conducted to investigate the selectivity and sensitivity of DMANSOC towards nitroaromatic explosives. Detailed analysis of spectrophotometric data, utilizing techniques such as Stern-Volmer, Benesi-Hildebrand, Job's plot, and interference study, unequivocally demonstrated the effectiveness of DMANSOC as a highly efficient fluorescent sensor for 2,4,6-trinitrophenol explosive (TNP) detection in an aqueous medium. The sensor exhibited a linear concentration range of 7.5 μM to 50 μM, with a low detection limit of 4.64 μM and a high binding affinity of 2.45 × 104 M towards TNP. Furthermore, the efficiency of the sensor in environmental samples contaminated with TNP was evaluated, yielding excellent recovery rates. Complementary DFT calculations and molecular dynamics simulations were performed to elucidate the mechanism behind the selective fluorescence quenching of DMANSOC in the presence of TNP.

Abstract
Fluorescence array technologies have attracted great interest in the sensing field because of their high sensitivity, low cost, and capability of multitarget detection. However, traditional array sensing relies on multiple independent sensors and thus often requires time-consuming and laborious measurement processes. Herein, we introduce a novel fluorescence array strategy of the array-on-a-metal-organic framework (MOF), which integrates multiple array elements into a single MOF matrix to achieve facile sensing and discrimination of multiple target analytes. As a proof-of-concept system, we constructed a luminescent MOF containing three different emitting channels, including a lanthanide ion (europium/Eu3+, red emission), a fluorescent dye (7-hydroxycoumarin-4-acetic acid/HCAA, blue emission), and the MOF itself (UiO-66-type MOF, blue-violet emission). Five structurally similar nitroaromatic compounds (NACs) were chosen as the targets. All three channels of the array-on-a-MOF displayed rapid and stable fluorescence quenching responses to NACs (response equilibrium achieved within 30 s). Different responses were generated for each channel against each NAC due to the various quenching mechanisms, including photoinduced electron transfer, energy competition, and the inner filter effect. Using linear discriminant analysis, the array-on-a-MOF successfully distinguished the five NACs and their mixtures at varying concentrations and demonstrated good sensitivity to quantify individual NACs (detect limit below the advisory concentration in drinking water). Moreover, the array also showed feasibility in the sensing and discrimination of multiple NACs in real water samples. The proposed "array-on-a-MOF" strategy simplifies multitarget discrimination procedures and holds great promise for various sensing applications.

Abstract
High-energetic materials belong to two main classes: propellants and explosives. The still rather unexplored family of 1,3,5,2,4,6-trioxatriazinanes, N3O3R3, has a representative of each class. We have selected three compounds, R = H, R = CH3 and R = NO2, this last compound being known as TNTOTA, "trinitro-trioxa-triazinane". Of these compounds we have studied the conformational analysis, the nitrogen inversion, the heats of formation, and the dissociation reaction into the three monomers. In addition, the corresponding 1,3,2,4-dioxadiazetidines (N2O2R2) have also been studied.

Abstract
High levels of unconjugated bilirubin (UB) in serum lead to asymptomatic and neonatal jaundice and brain dysfunctions. Herein, we have reported the detection of UB at as low as 1 μM in an aqueous alkaline medium using a Zn(II) complex. The specificity of the complex has been validated by the HPLC in the concentration window 6-90 μM, which is rare. The sensory response of the probe at physiological pH against nitro explosives developed it as an instant-acting fluorosensor for picric acid (PA) and 2,4-dinitrophenol (2,4-DNP). Spectroscopic titration provided a binding constant of 4×105 M-1 with PA. The naked eye detection was found to be 15 μM. The solid-state photoluminescent nature of the complex enabled it for PA sensing in the solid phase. Interestingly, the probe remained fluorescent in various volatile and non-volatile organic solvents. As a result, it can also detect PA and 2,4-DNP in a wide range of common organic media. NMR studies revealed the coordination of PA, 2,4-DNP, and UB to the Zn(II) center of the probe, which is responsible for the observed quenching of the probe with the analytes.

Abstract
A deferasirox based substituted triazole amine sensor TAD has been synthesized for the highly selective detection of nitrobenzene in real samples. Sensor TAD exhibited selective quenching response against nitrobenzene among the other nitroaromatic compounds (NACs). Photoinduced electron transfer (PET) process was devised as plausible sensing mechanisms which was supported via UV-visible and fluorescence spectroscopy, 1H NMR titration experiment, density functional theory (DFT) analysis and Job's plot. Non-covalent interaction (NCI) analysis and Bader's quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM) analysis were performed to investigate the presence of non-covalent interactions and symmetry perturbation theory (SAPT0) was performed for energy decomposition and quantitative analysis of interaction energies between sensor TAD and NB. Furthermore, sensor TAD was practically applied for the identification of NB in real samples.

Abstract
The development of high-intensity fluorescent materials is always the focuses and forefront projects because of their important applications in displays, sensing and detection fields. In recent years, the detection of explosives has attracted increasing attention due to security and counterterrorism issues. Herein, two diphenyl-anthracene (DPA) derivatives were designed and synthesized by introducing strong electron withdrawing fluorine atoms and cyano-groups to DPA, which exhibited strong fluorescence both in the solution and solid phase with the absolute quantum yields up to 70.4 % and 45.9 % respectively. The detection behavior of nitroaromatic explosives such as picric acid (PA), 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) and 3-Nitropropionic acid (3-NP) also shows good sensitivity with the quenching constant as high as 6.3×104 L mol-1 . Theoretical calculation demonstrates that the fluorescence quenching behavior of the two DPA derivatives is caused by the behavior of photoinduced electron transfer (PET) and the resonance energy transfer (RET) studies explained the higher sensitivity and selectivity of both compounds towards PA than other nitro-containing explosives. Furthermore, the strong solid-state fluorescence of the DPA derivatives also shows excellent advantages in enhancing latent fingerprint recognition.

Abstract
In this study, a highly fluorescent and receptor-free phenothiazine derivative (PDAB) was developed to detect picric acid. A combination of steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence studies was conducted to examine the excited state behavior of PDAB with picric acid in solution. The PDAB probe displayed a significant degree of selectivity and was highly sensitive to picric acid, with an extremely low detection limit of 9.82 nM. Time-resolved fluorescence quenching studies exhibit direct evidence of an inner filter effect-based sensing mechanism. Using the Parker equation, a thorough analysis was done to correct the inner filter effect on the sensing of picric acid. Overall, these studies provide critical information on the sensing mechanism for picric acid detection.

Abstract
We report a maltose-derivatized fluorescence turn-on imaging probe, Mal-Cz, to detect E. coli and Staphylococci. The fluorescence turn-on is achieved through an intramolecular C-H insertion reaction of the perfluoroaryl azide-functionalized carbazole to give a fluorescent product. Confocal fluorescence microscopy confirmed the successful uptake of Mal-Cz by E. coli and Staphylococci upon photoactivation. The Mal-Cz probe could selectively detect E. coli and S. epidermidis in the presence of P. aeruginosa and M. smegmatis without interference from these bacteria. Both the photoactivation and bacteria detection can be accomplished using a hand-held UV lamp at 365 nm, with the limit of detection of 103 CFU/mL by the naked eye. Mal-Cz could also be used to detect E. coli and S. epidermidis spiked in milk by the naked eye under a hand-held UV lamp. The uptake of Mal-Cz requires metabolically active bacteria: the uptake was reduced in stationary phase bacteria and was diminished in bacteria that were killed by heating or treating with antibiotics or sodium azide. The uptake decreased with increasing concentration of added free maltose, indicating that Mal-Cz hijacked the maltose uptake pathways. In E. coli, the maltose transport systems, including maltoporin LamB, maltose binding protein MBP, and the maltose ATP binding cassette (ABC) transporter MalFGK2, are all critical for the transport of Mal-Cz. The uptake was diminished in the deletion mutants ΔLamB, ΔMalE, ΔMalF, and ΔMalK.

Abstract
Luminescence-based sensing has been demonstrated to be a powerful method for rapid trace detection of chemical vapors (analytes). Analyte diffusion has been shown to be the critical factor for real-time luminescence-based detection of explosive analytes via photoinduced electron transfer in amorphous films of conjugated polymers and dendrimers. However, similar studies to determine the critical factors for sensing have not been performed on materials that employ photoinduced hole transfer (PHT) to detect low electron affinity analytes such as illicit drugs. Nor have such studies been performed on semicrystalline sensing films. We have developed a family of perylene diimide-based sensing materials capable of undergoing PHT with amine-group containing analytes. It was found that the choice of branched alkyl chain [1-hexylheptyl (PHH), 2-hexyloctyl (PHO), or 2,2-dihexyloctyl (PDHO)] attached to the nitrogen atoms of the imide moiety strongly affected the solution-processed film morphology. PHH and PHO were found to contain crystalline phases, whereas PDHO was essentially amorphous. The degree of crystallinity strongly influenced exciton diffusion, with PHH and PHO exhibiting exciton diffusion coefficients that were 20× and 10× greater than the value of the amorphous PDHO. The degree of film crystallinity was also found to be critical when the films were applied to detect N-methylphenethylamine (MPEA), a simulant of methamphetamine. While PHH had the largest exciton diffusion coefficient [(1.0 ± 0.2) × 10-2 cm2 s-1] and analyte uptake (12.3 ± 1.8 ng) it showed the smallest quenching efficiency (2.6% ng-1). In contrast, PHO, which sorbed the least analyte (6.1 ± 0.4 ng) of the three compounds, had the largest quenching efficiency (7.1% ng-1) due to its molecular packing and hence exciton diffusion coefficient [(4.5 ± 1.4) × 10-3 cm2 s-1] not being affected by sorption of the analyte. These results show that when applying fluorescent films in practical detection scenarios there is a potential trade-off between a high exciton diffusion constant and analyte diffusion for semicrystalline sensing materials and that a high exciton diffusion coefficient in an as-cast film does not necessarily translate into a more efficient fluorescent quenching. The results also show that sensing materials that form semicrystalline films, whose packing is not disrupted by analyte diffusion, provide a route for overcoming these effects and achieving high sensitivity.

In current times, a variety of methods and techniques have been utilized for the sensing of these nitro derivatives. In view of this, the remarkable fluorescence properties of quantum dots (QDs) provide a great opportunity to detect these nitro derivatives. This review highlighted the recent reports of QDs as the sensing material for these nitro derivative explosives. Different modifications in QDs using physical and chemical approaches can be used to improve their sensing output. Various interaction mechanisms have been discussed between QDs and nitro derivatives to change their fluorescence properties. Finally, the current challenges and the perspective for the forthcoming future are provided in the concluding section. We hope this review will be beneficial in guiding the utilization of QDs in sensing applications.

Abstract
Fluorescence probe technology holds great promise in the application of trace explosive detection due to its high sensitivity, fast response speed, good selectivity, and low cost. In this work, a designed approach has been employed to prepare the TPE-PA-8 molecule, utilizing the classic aggregation-induced emission (AIE) property of 1,1,2,2-tetraphenylethene (TPE), for the development of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) targeting the detection of trace nitroaromatic compound (NAC) explosives. The phosphoric acid acts as an anchoring unit, connecting to TPE through an alkyl chain of eight molecules, which has been found to play a crucial role in promoting the aggregation of TPE luminogens, leading to the enhanced light-emission property and sensing performance of SAMs. The SAMs assembled on Al2O3-deposited fiber film exhibit remarkable detection performances, with detection limits of 0.68 ppm, 1.68 ppm, and 2.5 ppm for trinitrotoluene, dinitrotoluene, and nitrobenzene, respectively. This work provides a candidate for the design and fabrication of flexible sensors possessing the high-performance and user-friendly detection of trace NACs.

Abstract
The exploration of multifunctional materials and intelligent technologies used for fluorescence sensing and latent fingerprint (LFP) identification is a research hotspot of material science. In this study, an emerging crystalline luminescent material, Eu3+-functionalized hydrogen-bonded organic framework (Eu@HOF-BTB, Eu@1), is fabricated successfully. Eu@1 can emit purple red fluorescence with a high photoluminescence quantum yield of 36.82%. Combined with artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms including support vector machine, principal component analysis, and hierarchical clustering analysis, Eu@1 as a sensor can concurrently distinguish two carcinogens, roxarsone and aristolochic acid, based on different mechanisms. The sensing process exhibits high selectivity, high efficiency, and excellent anti-interference. Meanwhile, Eu@1 is also an excellent eikonogen for LFP identification with high-resolution and high-contrast. Based on an automatic fingerprint identification system, the simultaneous differentiation of two fingerprint images is achieved. Moreover, a simulation experiment of criminal arrest is conducted. By virtue of the Alexnet-based fingerprint analysis platform of AI, unknown LFPs can be compared with a database to identify the criminal within one second with over 90% recognition accuracy. With AI technology, HOFs are applied for the first time in the LFP identification field, which provides a new material and solution for investigators to track criminal clues and handle cases efficiently.

Abstract
This research presents the application of Dinaphthoylated Oxacalix[4]arene (DNOC) as a novel fluorescent receptor for the purpose of selectively detecting nitroaromatic compounds (NACs). The characterization of DNOC was conducted through the utilization of spectroscopic methods, including 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, and ESI-MS. The receptor demonstrated significant selectivity in acetonitrile towards several nitroaromatic analytes, such as MNA, 2,4-DNT, 2,3-DNT, 1,3-DNB, 2,6-DNT, and 4-NT. This selectivity was validated by the measurement of emission spectra. The present study focuses on the examination of binding constants, employing Stern-Volmer analysis, as well as the determination of the lowest detection limit (3σ/Slope) and fluorescence quenching. These investigations aim to provide insights into the inclusion behavior of DNOC with each of the six analytes under fluorescence spectra investigation. Furthermore, the selectivity trend of the ligand DNOC for NAC detection is elucidated using Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations conducted using the Gaussian 09 software. The examination of energy gaps existing between molecular orbitals, namely the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO), provides a valuable understanding of electron-transfer processes and electronic interactions. Smaller energy gaps are indicative of heightened selectivity resulting from favorable electron-transfer processes, whereas bigger gaps suggest less selectivity attributable to weaker electronic contacts. This work integrates experimental and computational methodologies to provide a full understanding of the selective binding behavior of DNOC. As a result, DNOC emerges as a viable chemical sensor for detecting nitroaromatic explosives.

Abstract
A pyrene-based metal-organic framework, Cd2(PTTB)(H2O)2 (WYU-11), was synthesized from the tetracarboxylic pyrene ligand H4PTTB (H4PTTB = 1,3,6,8-tetrakis(3-carboxyphenyl)pyrene) and Cd(NO3)2·4H2O. Powder X-ray diffraction analysis discloses that the framework is stable in acid, base, and various organic solvent environments. WYU-11 shows excellent catalytic performance on the cyclization reaction of propargylic amines with CO2 into 2-oxazolidinones under mild conditions (60 °C, atmospheric CO2). 1H NMR studies unveiled that WYU-11 and 1,1,3,3-tetramethylguanidine (TMG) can synergistically activate the propargylic amine substrate and promote the reaction. Importantly, WYU-11 represents a rare example of noble metal-free heterogeneous catalyst that can catalyze the cyclization of CO2 with propargylic amines. In addition, by virtue of the excellent water stability and luminescence properties, WYU-11 shows excellent detection performance for sulfathiazole (STZ) and ornidazole (ODZ) in water. Investigation reveals that the coexistence of photoinduced electron transfer and internal filtering effect could reasonably explain the luminescence quenching of WYU-11 by the antibiotics.

A luminescent Tb-MOF with excellent stability and dual-emitting properties was constructed with an amide-functionalized tetracarboxylate ligand. Tb-MOFs were initially assembled on one-dimensional Tb3+ chains, then formed a two-dimensional double-decker layer through the synergistic linking of organic ligands and bridging formic acid anions, and further fabricated the final three-dimensional structure through the connection of the organic ligands. Powder X-ray diffraction experiments revealed that Tb-MOFs not only exhibited excellent stability in water but also maintained structural integrity in the pH range of 2-12. Importantly, this Tb-MOF provided the first example of a metal-organic framework (MOF)-based luminescence sensor that can simultaneously detect two acid amino acids (aspartic and glutamic acids) through a turn-off sensing mechanism and two basic amino acids (lysine and arginine acids) through unusual turn-on and turn-off-on sensing mechanisms. Moreover, high sensitivity, low detection limit, and excellent recyclability of this sensor endow Tb-MOFs with great potential as a highly efficient amino acid fluorescence sensor in chemical detection and biological environments.

Abstract
Polymerization induced microphase separation (PIMS) is a strategy used to develop unique nanostructures with highly useful morphologies through the microphase separation of emergent block copolymers during polymerization. In this process, nanostructures are formed with at least two chemically independent domains, where at least one domain is composed of a robust crosslinked polymer. Crucially, this synthetically simple method is readily used to develop nanostructured materials with the highly coveted co-continuous morphology, which can also be converted into mesoporous materials by selective etching of one domain. As PIMS exploits a block copolymer microphase separation mechanism, the size of each domain can be tightly controlled by modifying the size of block copolymer precursors, thus providing unparalleled control over nanostructure and resultant mesopore sizes. Since its inception 11 years ago, PIMS has been used to develop a vast inventory of advanced materials for an extensive range of applications including biomedical devices, ion exchange membranes, lithium-ion batteries, catalysis, 3D printing, and fluorescence-based sensors, among many others. In this review, we provide a comprehensive overview of the PIMS process, summarize latest developments in PIMS chemistry, and discuss its utility in a wide variety of relevant applications.

Abstract
Nitroaromatic compounds are extremely explosive materials that pose a national security risk and raise environmental concerns. The design and development of sensitive and selective compounds for explosive materials are highly desirable. 'Aggregation-Induced Emission' (AIE) active materials are best suited for sensing purposes because of their sensitivity, fast detection time, and easy operation. By rationally incorporating substituents on the cyclometalated (C^N) ligand, four different AIE active iridium(III) based monocyclometalated complexes with the general formula [Ir(PPh3)2(H)(Cl)(C^N)] were synthesized. The phenyl ring of the phenyl pyridine cyclometalated portion of an iridium(III) complex was substituted with the right substituents to adjust the FMO levels thus, leading to appropriate alignment of the energy levels. Each of the resulting complexes displayed a significant property known as 'Aggregation-Induced Phosphorescent Emission' (AIPE). The complexes were subjected to structural characterization, electrochemical analysis, and photophysical property studies. The synthesized complexes were employed for the detection of aromatic nitro explosive compounds such as trinitrophenol (TNP) and trinitrotoluene (TNT) in the aqueous phase with a high degree of sensitivity. The sensing capabilities of each complex were assessed for these nitro explosive compounds and compared to those of the unsubstituted iridium(III) complex (M). Notably, the best limits of detection for TNP and TNT have been achieved with iridium(III) complexes [M1 (489 pM) and M3 (3.6 nM)] within the literature reported until now. For detecting picric acid with M1, FRET was found to be the potential mechanism, and for TNT, PET was found to be the cause of emission quenching by M3. Furthermore, for low-cost detection, filter paper-based sensing was also found effective for each complex. Real-field sensing of PA in soil samples was also performed.

Abstract
Modern global industrialization along with the ever-increasing growth of the population has resulted in continuous enhancement in the discharge and accumulation of various toxic and hazardous chemicals in the environment. These harmful pollutants, including toxic gases, inorganic heavy metal ions, anthropogenic waste, persistent organic pollutants, toxic dyes, pharmaceuticals, volatile organic compounds, etc., are destroying the ecological balance of the environment. Therefore, systematic monitoring and effective remediation of these toxic pollutants either by adsorptive removal or by catalytic degradation are of great significance. From this viewpoint, porous organic polymers (POPs), being two- or three-dimensional polymeric materials, constructed from small organic molecules connected with rigid covalent bonds have come forth as a promising platform toward various leading applications, especially for efficient environmental remediation. Their unique chemical and structural features including high stability, tunable pore functionalization, and large surface area have boosted the transformation of POPs into various macro-physical forms such as thick and thin-film membranes, which led to a new direction in advanced level pollutant removal, separation and catalytic degradation. In this review, our focus is to highlight the recent progress and achievements in the strategic design, synthesis, architectural-engineering and applications of POPs and their composite materials toward environmental remediation. Several strategies to improve the adsorption efficiency and catalytic degradation performance along with the in-depth interaction mechanism of POP-based materials have been systematically summarized. In addition, evolution of POPs from regular powder form application to rapid and more efficient size and chemo-selective, "real-time" applicable membrane-based application has been further highlighted. Finally, we put forward our perspective on the challenges and opportunities of these materials toward real-world implementation and future prospects in next generation remediation technology.

Abstract
Pyridyl-substituted imidazoquinoline, a potent fluorescent framework, is advantageous to architect multifunctional coordination networks for sensing and fabricating emergent electrical conductors. In this work, a Cd(II)-based one-dimensional (1D) coordination polymer (1D CP), [Cd(glu)2(pbiq)2(H2O)]n (1), [H2glu = glutaric acid and pbiq = 4-(6-(pyridin-4-yl)benzo[4,5]imidazo[1,2-c]quinazoline)], has been structurally confirmed by single-crystal X-ray crystallography. The H-bonding and π···π interactions built a three-dimensional (3D) supramolecular structure that strongly emits at 416 nm in acetonitrile suspension. Potentially intrusive nitroaromatics (NAs) and trinitrophenol (TNP) selectively quench the strong emission of 1, and the highest quenching is noted in the case of TNP. A detection limit (limit of detection (LOD)) of 1.51 × 10-7 M for TNP is determined. The band gap (3.31 eV) of 1 recognizes semiconducting behavior, and an electronic device is fabricated. The correlation of current vs voltage (I-V plot) reveals a substantial non-ohmic electrical conductivity of 1 (Λ: 1.10 × 10-5 S m-1) along with a low energy barrier (ΦB: 0.69), and the series resistance (Rs) becomes 6.21 kΩ.

Abstract
Peroxide-based explosives (PBEs) are increasingly common in criminal and terrorist activity due to their easy synthesis and high explosive power. The rise in terrorist attacks involving PBEs has heightened the importance of detecting trace amounts of explosive residue or vapors. This paper aims to provide a review on the developments of techniques and instruments for detecting PBEs over the past ten years, specifically discussing advancements in ion mobility spectrometry, ambient mass spectrometry, fluorescence techniques, colorimetric methods, and electrochemical methods. We provide examples to illustrate their evolution and focus on new strategies for improving detection performance, specifically in terms of sensitivity, selectivity, high-throughput, and wide explosives coverage. Finally, we discuss future prospects for PBE detection. It is hoped this treatment will serve as a guide to the novitiate and as aid memoire to the researchers.

Abstract
We present the fabrication and use of a film of a carborane-thiol-protected tetranuclear copper cluster with characteristic orange luminescence using ambient electrospray deposition (ESD). Charged microdroplets of the clusters produced by an electrospray tip deposit the clusters at an air-water interface to form a film. Different microscopic and spectroscopic techniques characterized the porous surface structure of the film. Visible and rapid quenching of the emission of the film upon exposure to 2-nitrotoluene (2-NT) vapours under ambient conditions was observed. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations established the favourable binding sites of 2-NT with the cluster. Desorption of 2-NT upon heating recovered the original luminescence, demonstrating the reusability of the sensor. Stable emission upon exposure to different organic solvents and its quenching upon exposure to 2,4-dinitrotoluene and picric acid showed selectivity of the film to nitroaromatic species.

Abstract
Luminescence-based sensing is capable of being used for the sensitive, rapid, and in some cases selective detection of chemicals. Furthermore, the method is amenable to incorporation into handheld low-power portable detectors that can be used in the field. Luminescence-based detectors are now commercially available for explosive detection with the technology built on a strong foundation of science. In contrast, there are fewer examples of luminescence-based detection of illicit drugs, despite the pervasive and global challenge of combating their manufacture, distribution and consumption and the need for handheld detection systems. This perspective describes the relatively nascent steps that have been reported in the use of luminescent materials for the detection of illicit drugs. Much of the published work has focused on detection of illicit drugs in solution with less work on vapour detection using thin luminescent sensing films. The latter are better suited for handheld sensing devices and detection in the field. Illicit drug detection has been achieved via different mechanisms, all of which change the luminescence of the sensing material. These include photoinduced hole transfer (PHT) leading to quenching of the luminescence, disruption of Förster energy transfer between different chromophores by a drug, and chemical reaction between the sensing material and a drug. The most promising of these is PHT, which can be used for rapid and reversible detection of illicit drugs in solution and film-based sensing of drugs in the vapour phase. However, there are still significant knowledge gaps, for example, how vapours of illicit drugs interact with the sensing films, and how to achieve selectivity for specific drugs.

Abstract
A water-stable, microporous, luminescent Ni(II)-based metal-organic framework (MOF) (Ni-OBA-Bpy-18) with a 4-c uninodal sql topology was solvothermally synthesized using mixed N-, O-donor-directed π-conjugated co-ligands. The extraordinary performance of this MOF toward rapid monitoring of mutagenic explosive trinitrophenol (TNP) in aqueous and vapor phases by the fluorescence "Turn-off" technique with an ultralow detection limit of 66.43 ppb (Ksv: 3.45 × 105 M-1) was governed by a synchronous occurrence of photoinduced electron transfer-resonance energy transfer-intermolecular charge transfer (PET-RET-ICT) and non-covalent π···π weak interactions, as revealed from density functional theory studies. The recyclable nature of the MOF, detection from complex environmental matrices, and fabrication of a handy MOF@cotton-swab detection kit certainly escalated the on-field viability of the probe. Interestingly, the presence of electron-withdrawing TNP decisively facilitated the redox events of the reversible NiIII/II and NiIV/III couples under an applied voltage based on which electrochemical recognition of TNP was realized by the Ni-OBA-Bpy-18 MOF/glassy carbon electrode, with an excellent detection limit of ∼0.6 ppm. Such detection of a specific analyte by MOF-based probe via two divergent yet coherent techniques is unprecedented and yet to be explored in relevant literature.

Abstract
Sensing and monitoring hazardous contaminants in water and radioactive iodine sequestration is pivotal due to their detrimental impact on biological ecosystems. In this context, herein, a water stable zirconium-diimide based metallogel (Zr@MG) with fibrous columnar morphology is accomplished through the "heat set" method. The presence of diimide linkage with long aromatic chain manifests active luminescence properties in the linker as well as in the supramolecular framework structure. The as-synthesized Zr@MG xerogel can selectively detectCr2O72- (LOD = 0.52 ppm) and 2,4,6-trinitrophenol (TNP) (LOD = 80.2 ppb) in the aqueous medium. The Zr@MG paper strip-based detection for Cr2O72- and nitro explosive makes this metallogel reliable and an attractive luminescent sensor for practical use. Moreover, a column-based dye separation experiment was performed to show selective capture of positively charged methylene blue (MB) dye with 98 % separation efficiency from the mixture of two dyes. Also, the Zr@MG xerogel showed effective iodine sequestration from the vapor phase (232 wt%).

Abstract
Biosensors are compact analytical devices capable of transducing a biological interaction event into a measurable signal outcome in real-time. They can provide sensitive and affordable analysis of samples without the need for additional laboratory equipment or complex preparation steps. Biosensors may be beneficial for forensic analysis as they can facilitate large-scale high-throughput, sensitive screening of forensic samples to detect target molecules that are of high evidential value. Nanomaterials are gaining attention as desirable components of biosensors that can enhance detection and signal efficiency. Biosensors that incorporate nanomaterials within their design have been widely reported and developed for medical purposes but are yet to find routine employment within forensic science despite their proven potential. In this article, key examples of the use of nanomaterials within optical biosensors designed for forensic analysis are outlined. Their design and mechanism of detection are both considered throughout, discussing how nanomaterials can enhance the detection of the target analyte. The critical evaluation of the optical biosensors detailed within this review article should help to guide future optical biosensor design via the incorporation of nanomaterials, for not only forensic analysis but alternative analytical fields where such biosensors may prove a valuable addition to current workflows.

Abstract
Herein, a novel luminescent Zn-LMOF, JLU-MOF109 ([Zn(PBBA)(H2O)]·3DMF·2H2O, PBBA = 4,4'-(2,6-pyrazinediyl)bis[benzoic acid], DMF = N,N-dimethylformamide), was successfully synthesized under solvothermal conditions. Zinc ions are connected by PBBA ligands to form two-dimensional (2D) layers, and the layers are further propped up through hydrogen-bonding interactions. JLU-MOF109 exhibits good sensitivity to inorganic pollutants, Fe3+ and Cr2O72-, as well as nitro aromatic explosives, 2,4,6-trinitrophenol and 2,4-dinitrophenol. JLU-MOF109 exhibits high Ksv (at 104 M-1 level) and low limit of detection values (∼10-6 mol/L) for the abovementioned hazardous pollutants, which is better than a majority of previously reported MOF-based fluorescent sensors. With good stability in the aqueous phase, JLU-MOF109 can serve as a promising chemical sensor for pollutant detection in wastewater.

Hill-type pH probes. Anal Bioanal Chem 2023:10.1007/s00216-023-04515-y.

Abstract
Sensitive detection of the minute and yet pathologically significant pH variation is important and in fact challenging for the conventional pH probes following the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation, i.e., HH-type probes. A paradigm shift to Hill-type pH probes is ongoing. Bestowed by their positive cooperative acid-base chemistry, their pH-responsive profile follows the Hill equation, which exhibits a narrower acid/base transition width than HH-type probes and warrants a higher detection sensitivity. A polymer-based Hill-type pH-responsive material was first developed. More recently, there emerged several distinct small-molecular approaches to achieve Hill-type pH-responsive profiles. They complement the polymer-based sensing materials in applications where membrane permeability is a concern. In this trends article, we rationalize the molecular origins of their positive cooperativity in pH sensing and highlight some interesting proof-of-concept applications. We also discussed future directions of this dynamic research area.

Abstract
In this work, a nanocomposite suitable for long-term storage was constructed for efficient and highly selective detection of picric acid (PA). For this purpose, nitrogen-doped carbon dots (N-CDs) were synthesized by a simple hydrothermal reaction one-step method, and the synthesized nitrogen-doped carbon dots were loaded into amine-modified mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN-NH2) to form N-CDs@MSN-NH2 nanocomposites. The as-synthesized N-CDs@MSN-NH2 was detected by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and the Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) analysis methods. After being coated with MSNs, the as-synthesized N-CDs@MSN-NH2 exhibits excellent photo-stability in storage for 60 days at room temperature. Furthermore, PA can significantly quench the fluorescence signal of N-CDs@MSN-NH2 through the fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) effect, while other metal ions and nitro compounds only cause little change. The a-synthesized composites were used to detect PA with a detection limit of 50 nM in an aqueous solution. These results indicate that the synthesized composites have promise for application in PA detection in aqueous solution.

Abstract
Lanthanide coordination polymers (Ln-CPs) are potential chemosensors when fabricated to depict a detectable change in optical properties on interaction with target analytes. This work investigates the interaction of nitroaromatic compounds with Ln-CPs leading to induced changes in fluorescence emission intensity, a crucial strategy to develop a selective and sensitive system for the sensing of nitroaromatics. Approaching toward this objective, solvothermal reactions of 2,5-thiophenedicarboxylic (2,5-TDC) acid, 1,10-phenanthroline (1,10-Phen), and Ln(NO3)3·xH2O are carried out to assemble eight Ln(III) coordination polymers [Ln2(2,5-TDC)3(1,10-Phen)2(H2O)2] [Ln = Pr (1), Nd (2)], {[Tb(2,5-TDC)1.5(1,10-Phen)(H2O)]·DMF} (3), and [Ln(2,5-TDC)1.5(1,10-Phen)]·xH2O (Ln = Tb (4), Dy (5), Ho (6), Er (7), and Yb (8)); x = 0 for CP 4, 5, 6, and 8 and x = 1 for CP 7 with two different space groups and dimensions. The as-synthesized polymers 1-8 are characterized by powder X-ray crystallography, infrared spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis. The structure-corroborated density functional theory (DFT) studies are done on the selected CPs to investigate the interactions between different structural motifs of the assembled CPs. The luminescence properties of CP 4 are explored in detail and are found to be highly sensitive for the detection of p-nitrotoluene as indicated by the most intensive fluorescence quenching with the lowest limit of detection (0.88 ppm) and high quenching constant (4.3 × 104 M-1). Other nitro compounds (viz., o-nitrobenzaldehyde, m-nitroaniline, picric acid, m-dinitrobenzene, p-nitrophenol, and p-nitroaniline) are also screened for potential sensing by CP 4.

Abstract
A series of new α-(N-biphenyl)-substituted 2,2'-bipyridines were obtained through the combination of the ipso-nucleophilic aromatic substitution of the C5-cyano group, aza-Diels-Alder and Suzuki cross-coupling reactions, starting from 5-cyano-1,2,4-triazines. For the obtained compounds, photophysical and fluorosolvatochromic properties were studied. Fluorophores 3l and 3b demonstrated unexpected AIEE activity, while 3a and 3h showed promising nitroexplosive detection abilities.
