Abstract
Luminescent materials with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) characteristics have been recognized as highly selective and sensitive probes for the detection of toxic metal ions in recent years. In this paper, a Au-Ag cluster-based coordination polymer [Au3Ag3(L)2(CN)6(H2O)2]n [1, L = 1,3-bis((diphenylphosphanyl)methyl)-4,5-dihydro-imidazolylidene] was prepared by in situ generation of the diphosphine N-heterocyclic carbene (PCNHCP)-type ligand L in the presence of the corresponding metal salts. Compound 1 exhibited 530 nm phosphorescence under 380 nm excitation with a QY of 6.30% and a lifetime (τ) of 7.14 μs in the solid state. 1 showed good AIE behavior in the mixture of MeOH/H2O while the best aggregation state (fwater = 90%, QY = 6.79%, τ = 6.70 μs) exhibited selective and sensitive emission quenching toward Cr(VI) ions. Ultralow detection limits of 9.7 ppb (w/w) for Cr2O72- and 17.9 ppb (w/w) for CrO42- were achieved.

Abstract
Optical bioimaging is an ever-growing field that benefits both from the fast progress of optical instrumentation and modalities, and from the development of light-emitting probes. The efficacy of molecular fluorescent dyes is crucial, yet hindered by limited brightness and hydrophilicity. Addressing these challenges, self-stabilized fluorogenic organic nanoparticles only made of pure dyes (dFONs) are introduced in this work. Comprising thiol-sensitive fluorogenic chromophores, these dFONs exhibit enhanced brightness exclusively in the presence of biological thiols, notably glutathione, overcoming the need for water-solubilizing moieties. Importantly, these nanoparticles demonstrate large fluorescence and one- and two-photon brightness, enabling sensitive bioimaging of intracellular thiols at micromolar concentrations. Notably, only the pristine fluorogenic nanoparticles can penetrate the cells and does not require to wash the cells before imaging, emphasizing their unique role as dye carriers, fluorogenic probes and ease of use. This work highlights the transformative potential of dFONs in advancing optical bioimaging, paving the way for the use of dFONs not just as tracers, but also now as biosensors and ultimately in the future as biomarkers.

Abstract
Nickel stands out as one of the prevalent heavy metal ionic pollutants found in water. It is urgent to devise a simple, efficient, budget-friendly, highly-selective and proficient method for detecting Ni(II). This work reports an approach to design a nanofluidic diode for the ultrasensitive and label-free detection of nickel ions based on layer-by-layer assembly of polyarginine (PA) and polyglutamic acid (γ-PGA) on the inner surface of asymmetric nanochannels. We can tune the adsorption/desorption characteristics of the asymmetric nanochannels for Ni2+ by adjusting the pH changes, i.e., the PA-γ-PGA modified nanochannels adsorb Ni2+ at pH 6 and desorb at pH 3 in aqueous solution. This pivotal adjustment facilitates the reusable and specific detection of nickel ions with a detection limit of 1 × 10-8 M. Moreover, the system demonstrates commendable stability and recyclability, enhancing its practical applicability. This innovative system holds promise for recognizing and detecting nickel ions in diverse environments such as water, blood, and cells. The robust performance and adaptability of our proposed system instill confidence in its potential for future applications.

Abstract
This work presents a microwave-based green synthesis method for producing carbon nanospheres (CNSs) and investigates the impact of presynthesis pH on their size and assembly. The resulting CNSs are monodispersed, averaging 35 nm in size, and exhibit notable characteristics including high water solubility, photostability, and a narrow size distribution, achieved within a synthesis time of 15 min. The synthesized CNS features functional groups such as -OH, -COOH, -NH, -C-O-C, =C-H, and -CH. This diversity empowers the CNS for various applications including sensing. The CNS exhibits a distinct UV peak at 282 nm and emits intense fluorescence at 430 nm upon excitation at 350 nm. These functionalized CNSs enable selective and specific sensing of Cu2+ ions and the amino acid tryptophan (Trp) in aqueous solutions. In the presence of Cu2+ ions, static-based quenching of CNS fluorescence was observed due to the chelation-enhanced quenching (CHEQ) effect. Notably, Cu2+ ions induce a substantial change in UV spectra alongside a red-shift in the peak position. The limits of detection and quantification for Cu2+ ions with CNS are determined as 0.73 and 2.45 μg/mL, respectively. Additionally, on interaction with tryptophan, the UV spectra of CNS display a marked increase in the peak at 282 nm, accompanied by a red-shift phenomenon. The limits of detection and quantification for l-tryptophan are 4.510 × 10-3 and 1.50 × 10-2 μg/mL, respectively, indicating its significant potential for biological applications. Furthermore, the practical applicability of CNSs is demonstrated by their successful implementation in analyzing real water samples and filter paper-based examination, showcasing their effectiveness for on-site sensing.

Abstract
Fluorescent organic nanoparticles (FONPs) have attracted much attention as a practicable and effective platform for detection applications. The present article describes the preparation of FONPs derived from the quinazolinone-based 2-(furan-2-yl)-2,3-dihydroquinazolin-4(1H)-one derivative FHDQ. Self-assembly of FHDQ in an aqueous medium resulted in the formation of FONPs through H-type aggregation and showed excellent fluorescence properties. The presence of other coexisting species solutions did not affect the selective fluorescence quenching observed with the addition of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP). The photophysical properties, i.e., UV-Vis absorbance, fluorescence emission, and lifetime measurements together with zeta particle sizer, support excited-state complex formation followed by a dynamic fluorescence quenching phenomenon in the emission of FDHQNPs. In the concentration range of 0 to 36 μg.[Formula: see text], the detection limit of this turn-off sensor FDHQNPs against 4-NP was determined to be 0.01611 μM. Finally, the practicability of the FDHQNPs for the analysis of 4-NP in environmental samples was demonstrated.

Abstract
Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-capped 1-pyrenecarboxaldehyde nanoparticles (PyalNPs) were prepared using a reprecipitation method in an aqueous medium and exhibited red-shifted aggregation-induced enhanced emission (AIEE). The dynamic light scattering (DLS) examination showed narrower particle size distribution with an average particle size of 41 nm, whereas -34.5 mV zeta potential value indicate the negative surface charge and good stability of nanoparticles (NPs) in an aqueous medium. The AIEE was seen at λmax = 473 nm in a fluorescence spectrum of a PyalNP suspension. In the presence of Cu2+ ions, the fluorescence of PyalNPs quenches very significantly, even in the presence of other metal ions like Ba2+ , Ca2+ , Cd2+ , Co2+ , Al3+ , Fe2+ , Hg2+ , Ni2+ and Mg2+ . The changes in the fluorescence lifetime of PyalNPs in the presence of Cu2+ ions suggested that the type of quenching was dynamic. The fluorescence quenching data for the NPs suspension fitted well into a typical Stern-Volmer relationship in the concentration range 1.0-25 μg/ml of Cu2+ ions. The estimated value of the correlation coefficient R2 = 0.9877 was close to 1 and showed the linear relationship between quenching data and Cu2+ ion concentration. The limit of detection (LOD) was found to be 0.94 ng/ml and is far below the tolerable intake limit value of 1.3 μg/ml accepted by the World Health Organization for Cu2+ ions in drinking water. The fluorescence quenching approach for a SDS-capped Pyal nanosuspension for copper ion quantification is of high specificity and coexisting ions were found to interfere very negligibly. The developed method was successfully applied for the estimation of copper ions in river water samples.

Abstract
With the increasing issues of environmental degradation and health problem, the selective detection of toxic ions has attracted considerable attention from researchers. Chemical fluorescent sensors with the advantages of facile operation, high sensitivity, rapid response, and easy visualization are emerging as powerful detection tools towards ions. However, the selective recognition of ions is always hindered by the presence of other interfering substances. Herein, we show that supramolecular host-guest interaction based on a pillar[5]arene provides a new opportunity to regulate the ionic recognition properties of guest molecules. A pillar[5]arene-based host-guest complex HG was constructed through the host-guest interaction between ammonium functionalized pillar[5]arene (HAP5) and 2,2'-bibenzimidazole (G). The host-gust complex HG can realize the successive, highly selective, and sensitive detection of specific ions. It was found that only in the presence of HAP5, the sensitivity towards cations was evidently enhanced, and selective successive recognition for I- and HSO4- was achieved. Those results indicate that the introduction of HAP5 can effectively improve the ion recognition performance of 2,2'-bibenzimidazole, so it is a feasible strategy using supramolecular host-guest interaction to regulate the ionic recognition properties of guest molecules.

Abstract
The applications of conventional sensors are limited by the long response time, high cost, large detection limit, low sensitivity, complicated usage and low selectivity. These sensors are nowadays replaced by Nanocomposite-based modalities and nanomaterials which are known for their high selectivity and physical and chemical properties. These nanosensors effectively detect heavy metal contaminants in the environment as the discharge of heavy metals into natural water as a result of human activity has become a global epidemic. Exposure to these toxic metals might induce many health-related complications, including kidney failure, brain injury, immune disorders, muscle paleness, cardiac damage, nervous system impairment and limb paralysis. Therefore, designing and developing novel sensing systems for the detection and recognition of these harmful metals in various environmental matrices, particularly water, is of extremely important. Emerging nanotechnological approaches in the past two decades have played a key role in overcoming environmentally-related problems. Nanomaterial-based fabrication of chemical nanosensors has widely been applied as a powerful analytical tool for sensing heavy metals. Portability, high sensitivity, on-site detection capability, better device performance and selectivity are all advantages of these nanosensors. The detection and selectivity have been improved using molecular recognition probes for selective binding on different nanostructures. This study aims to evaluate the sensing properties of various nanomaterials such as metal-organic frameworks, fluorescent materials, metal-based nanoparticles, carbon-based nanomaterials and quantum dots and graphene-based nanomaterials and quantum dots for heavy metal ions recognition. All these nano-architectures are frequently served as effective fluorescence probes to directly (or by modification with some large or small biomolecules) sense heavy metal ions for improved selectivity. However, efforts are still needed for the simultaneous designing of multiple metal ion-based detection systems, exclusively in colorimetric or optical fluorescence nanosensors for heavy metal cations.

Abstract
Two remarkablely fluorimetric probes were developed to rapidly detect 2,4,6-trinitrophenol (TNP). With the help of density functional theory (DFT) calculations, we confirmed that using 1,3,4-thiadiazole skeleton as recognition group and coumarin unit as fluorophore would show excellent application prospects in terms of TNP detection. The probes LK-1 and LK-2 displayed green and orange emission with fluorescence quenching yield as high as 83.7% and 75.1% in solution. Further evaluation demonstrated that they display outstanding selectivity and sensitivity for rapid and visual detection of TNP. Both fluorescent color and fluorescence emission spectrum had significant changes and these phenomena could easily observe via naked-eye and analytical instrument. The detection limits of them were 97 nM and 71 nM. What's more, application in real water samples and solid phase paper tests illustrated the practical significance of detection of TNP.

Abstract
In this study, a novel FONs-based sensor P-M(w) was synthesized using 1-Pyrenecarboxaldehyde and L-methionine through facile hydrothermal strategy. The fluorescence emission peaks of the acquired P-M(w) would show specific changes after the addition of Hg2+ due to interfering the PET process and inducing nano-structure conformational rigidification of P-M(w). Notably, the water-soluble FONs-based sensor was firstly used to detect Hg2+ in tea samples providing a new material choice for the fluorescence sensor construction of metal ion detection. Besides, the qualitative and quantitative analysis of Hg2+ could be carried out with P-M (w) at a very low concentration (1 μg/mL) meaning that the acquired P-M(w) synthesized by few grams of reactants may satisfy the detection of approximate fifty thousand samples.

Abstract
Diamond electrodes have long been a well-known candidate in electrochemical analyte detection. Nano- and micro-level modifications on the diamond electrodes can lead to diverse analytical applications. Doping of crystalline diamond allows the fabrication of suitable electrodes towards specific analyte monitoring. In particular, boron-doped diamond (BDD) electrodes have been reported for metal ions, anions, biomolecules, drugs, beverage hazards, pesticides, organic molecules, dyes, growth stimulant, etc., with exceptional performance in discriminations. Therefore, numerous reviews on the diamond electrode-based sensory utilities towards the specified analyte quantifications were published by many researchers. However, reviews on the nanodiamond-based electrodes for metal ions and anions are still not readily available nowadays. To advance the development of diamond electrodes towards the detection of diverse metal ions and anions, it is essential to provide clear and focused information on the diamond electrode synthesis, structure, and electrical properties. This review provides indispensable information on the diamond-based electrodes towards the determination of metal ions and anions.

Abstract
Molecular entities whose fluorescence spectra are different when they bind metal cations are termed bicolour fluorescent molecular sensors. The basic design criteria of this kind of compound are presented and the different fluorescent responses are discussed in terms of their chemical behaviour and electronic features. These latter elements include intramolecular charge transfer (ICT), formation of intramolecular and intermolecular excimer/exciplex complexes and Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET). Changes in the electronic properties of the fluorophore based on the decoupling between its constitutive units upon metal binding are also discussed. The possibility of generating fluorescent bicolour indicators that can capture metal cations in the gas phase and at solid-gas interfaces is also discussed.

Abstract
The precise control of supramolecular self-assembly is gaining utmost interest for the demanding applications of manifested nano-architecture across the scientific domain. This study delineates the morphological transformation of naphthalene diimide (NDI) derived amphiphiles with varying water content in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and the selective sensing of lipase using its aggregation-induced emission (AIE) properties. To this end, NDI-based, benzyl alcohol protected alkyl chain (C1, C5, and C10) linked amphiphilic molecules (NDI-1,2,3) were synthesized. Among the synthesized amphiphiles, benzyl ester linked C5 tailored naphthalene diimide (NDI-2) exhibited AIE with an emission maximum at 490 nm in a DMSO-water binary solvent system from fw = 30% and above water content. The fibrous morphology of NDI-2 at fw = 30% got gradually transformed to spherical aggregated particles along with steady increment in the emission intensity upon increasing the amount of water in DMSO. At fw = 99% water in DMSO, complete transformation to fluorescent organic nanoparticles (FONPs) was observed. Microscopic and spectroscopic techniques demonstrated the solvent driven morphological transformation and the AIE property of NDI-2. Moreover, this AIE of NDI-2 FONPs was employed in the selective turn-off sensing of lipase against many other enzymes including esterase, through hydrolysis of a benzyl ester linkage with a limit of detection 10.0 ± 0.8 μg L-1. The NDI-2 FONP also exhibited its lipase sensing efficiency in vitro using a human serum sample.

Abstract
Ions, including anions and heavy metals, are extremely toxic and easily accumulate in the human body, threatening the health of humans and even causing human death at low concentrations. It is therefore necessary to detect these toxic ions in low concentrations in water. Fluorescent sensing is a good method for detecting these ions, but some conventional dyes often exhibit an aggregation caused quench (ACQ) effect in their solid state, limiting their large-scale application. Fluorescent probes based on aggregation-induced emission (AIE) properties have received significant attention due to their high fluorescence quantum yields in their nano aggragated states, easy fabrication, use of moderate conditions, and selevtive recognization of organic/inorganic compounds in water with obvious changes in fluorescence. We surmarize the recent advances of AIE-based sensors for low concentration toxic ion detection in water. The detection probes can be divided into three categories: chemical reaction types, chemical interaction types and physical interaction types. Chemical reaction types utilize nucleophilic addition and coordination reaction, while chemical interaction types rely on hydrogen bonding and anion-π interactions. The physical interaction types are composed of electrostatic attractions. We finally comment on the challenges and outlook of AIE-active sensors.

Abstract
As a colorimetric and fluorescent turn-on sensor to Al3+, N'-(2-hydroxybenzylidene)isoquinoline-3-carbohydrazide (HL) has been easily synthesized. The fluorescence intensity increases by 273 times in the presence of Al3+ at 458 nm. Meanwhile, the experiment data indicate that the limit of detection for Al3+ is 1.11 × 10-9 M. Remarkably, the blue fluorescence signal of HL-Al3+ could be specially observed by the naked eye under UV light and is significantly different from those of other metal ions. Fluorescence switch based on the control of Al3+ and EDTA proved HL could act as a reversible chemosensor. According to ESI-MS result and the Job's plots, the 2:1 coordination complex formed by HL and Al3+ could be produced. Density functional theory calculations were performed to illustrate the structures of HL and complex. The cell imaging experiment indicates that HL can be applied for monitoring intracellular Al3+ levels in cells.

Abstract
Fluorescent organic nanoparticles (FONPs) have attracted considerable attention as a practical and effective platform for sensing and imaging applications. The present article delineates the fabrication of FONPs derived from the naphthalimide based histidine appended amphiphile, NID. The self-assembly of NID in 99 vol% water in DMSO led to the formation of FONPs through J-type aggregation. Aggregation-induced emission (AIE) was observed due to the pre-associated excimer of NID with bluish green emission at 470 nm along with intramolecular charge transfer (ICT). The emission of NID FONPs was utilized for selective sensing of Fe3+ and bioimaging of Fe3+ inside mammalian cells. The fluorescence intensity of the FONPs was quenched with the gradual addition of Fe3+ due to the formation of a 1 : 1 stoichiometric complex with the histidine residue of NID. The morphology of the FONPs transformed from spherical to spindle upon the complex formation of NID with Fe3+. The limit of detection (LOD) of this AIE based turn-off chemosensor for Fe3+ was found to be 12.5 ± 1.2 μM having high selectivity over other metal ions. On the basis of the very low cytotoxicity and selective sensing of Fe3+, NID FONPs were successfully employed for bioimaging of Fe3+ ions through fluorescence quenching within mammalian cells (NIH3T3, B16F10). Considering the varying oxidative stress inside different cells, NID FONPs were used for detecting Fe2+ to Fe3+ redox state transition selectively inside cancer cells (B16F10) in comparison to non-cancerous cells (NIH3T3). Selective sensing of cancer cells was substantiated by co-culture experiment and flow cytometry. Hence, NID FONPs can be a selective diagnostic probe for cancer cells owing to their higher H2O2 content.

Abstract
We describe two novel fluorescent peptides (compounds 1 and 2) targeting oxytocin with a boron-dipyrromethenyl group as the fluorophore bound to an artificial peptide based on the oxytocin receptor, and their application for the analysis of oxytocin levels in human serum using nanometer-sized magnetic beads modified by fluorescent peptides (FMB-1 and FMB-2). Under the optimized experimental protocols, FMB-1 and FMB-2 emitted low levels of fluorescence but emitted much higher levels of fluorescence when associated with oxytocin. The detection limit of oxytocin by FMB-2 was 0.4 pM, which is approximately 37.5 times higher than that of conventional methods, such as ELISA. Using these fluorescent sensors, oxytocin was specifically detected over a wide linear range with high sensitivity, good reusability, stability, precision, and reproducibility. This fluorescent sensor-based detection system thus enabled the measurement of oxytocin levels in human serum, which has widespread applications for oxytocin assays across varied research fields.

Abstract
The self-assembly and coordination of amphiphiles comprised of naphthalenediimide (NDI) and bis(indolyl)methane (BIM) chromophores were investigated as a function of pH and metal. As observed by TEM, SEM and AFM imaging, the self-assembly of NDI-BIM 1 produced irregular nanostructures at neutral pH in CH3CN-H2O (1 : 1); whereas, well-defined nanotubes were observed at pH 2. Conversely, Fmoc-protected, NDI-BIM 2 formed nanotubes at neutral pH and nonspecific aggregates at pH 2. Upon coordination of Cu2+ ions to the bis(indoyl)methane moiety, a reorganization from nanotubes to vesicular structures was observed.

Abstract
AbstractIn this study, we describe the anion recognition ability of isatin-3-thiosemicarbazone 2, which contains two different anion recognition units i.e. isatin NH and the thiourea moiety. Both have the ability to act as proton donors. Most importantly, a significant colour change of 2 was observed (from light yellow to reddish orange) in organic medium only after the addition of the F– anion. No such colour change could be observed for any other anions including Cl–, Br–, I–, ${{\text{H}}_{2}}\text{P}{{\text{O}}_{4}}^{-},$$\text{N}{{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}}^{-},$$\text{P}{{\text{F}}_{4}}^{-}$etc. The UV-Vis spectroscopic studies also indicate the potential of this compound for selective detection of fluoride anions. 1H-NMR titrations clearly indicate the formation of the 2.F– anionic complex. The Density-functional theory (DFT) calculations are also performed to get further insights on the formation of 2.F– complex.

[PMID: 32745550 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2020.07.232] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/29/2020] [Revised: 07/22/2020] [Accepted: 07/22/2020] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
Abstract
The aim of the paper was to investigate the ability of an eco-friendly luminescent xerogel prepared by chitosan crosslinking with a phenothiazine luminogen to detect and remove heavy metals. Its ability to give a divergent morphological and optical response towards fifteen environmental relevant metals was investigated by naked eye and UV lamp, fluorescence spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. A distinct response was noted for mercury, consisting in the transformation of the xerogel into a rubber-like material accompanied by the red shifting of the color of emitted light from yellow-green to greenish-yellow domain. The particularities of the metals anchoring into the xerogel were analyzed by FTIR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. The morphological changes and the metal uptake were analyzed by SEM-EDAX, swelling and gravimetric methods. It was concluded that mercury has a superior affinity towards this heteroatoms rich system, leading to a secondary crosslinking. This directed a great absorption capacity of 1673 mg/g and a specific morphological response for mercury ion concentrations up to 0.001 ppm.

Abstract
This manuscript presents a robust strategy for selective Pb(II) sensing based on a fluorescence turn-off mechanism using ZnS quantum dots (QDs) biosynthesized using Aspergillus sp. The biogenic nanoprobe displayed marked sensing efficiency in the presence of Pb ions over concentration ranges from 5 to 100 μM with limits of detection of around 2.45 μM. Performance optimization studies revealed that the maximum fluorescence quenching efficiency was obtained in the presence of [ZnS NPs] at 4 mg/ml, and alkaline pH of 10 recorded under stable ambient temperature for approximately 5 min for the quenching process. Advanced morphological analysis indicated that the bio-sensing mechanism was essentially a surface-based phenomenon in which the Pb ions were in very close proximity to the QDs and formed stable ground-state Pb-ZnS complexes, resulting in a quenched fluorescence of the QDs. Simultaneously, a larger fraction of Pb ions interacted via collisions with the excited ZnS QDs and resulted in an effective energy transfer from the excited QDs to the Pb ions, therefore resulting in an obvious decrease in QD fluorescence. These insights were well supported by theoretical analysis using Stern-Volmer plots and sphere-of-action models.

Abstract
Carbon nanodots (CNDs) offer potential applications in photocatalysis, optoelectronics, bio-imaging, and sensing due to their excellent photoluminescence (PL) properties, biocompatibility, aqueous solubility, and easy functionalization. Recent emphasis on CNDs in the selective detection of metal ions is due to the growing concern for human and environmental safety. In this work, two types of fluorescent carbon nanodots (CNDs) are synthesized economically from ethylene diamine (E-CNDs) or urea (U-CNDs) in a single step microwave process. The as-prepared CNDs exhibit excellent PL at an excitation wavelength of 350 nm with a quantum yield of 64% for E-CNDs and 8.4% for U-CNDs with reference to quinine sulfate. Both E-CNDs and U-CNDs demonstrate high selectivity towards Fe (III) ions among different metal ions, by fluorescence quenching in a dose dependent manner. The limit of detection of E-CNDs and U-CNDs is observed to be 18 nM and 30 nM, respectively, in the linear response range of 0-2000 μM with a short response time (seconds). The CNDs detect Fe (III) ions in tap water and serum sample with no spiking and the recovery was ~100% with the Fe (III) samples. Cellular internalization studies confirm the localization of the CNDs and the optical imaging sensing of Fe (III) ions inside living cells. A charge transfer fluorescence quenching mechanism, specifically between the CNDs and Fe (III), is proposed and examined using cyclic voltammetry. The overall characteristics of the E-CNDs provides a potential sensing platform in highly sensitive and selective detection of Fe (III) ions.

Abstract
Aluminum is the most abundant metallic element in the Earth's crust and acts as a non-essential element for biological species. The accumulation of excessive amounts of aluminum can be harmful to biological species. Thus, the development of convenient and selective tools for the aluminum detection is necessary. In this work, a highly selective aluminum ion fluorescent probe N'-(2,5-dihydroxybenzylidene)acetohydrazide (Al-II) has been successfully synthesized and systemically characterized. The fluorescence intensity of this probe shows a significant enhancement in the presence of Al3+, which is subject to the strong quench effects caused by Cu2+ and Fe3+. The binding ratio of probe-Al3+ was determined from the Job's plot to be 1:1. Moreover, the probe was demonstrated to be effective for in vivo imaging of the intracellular aluminum ion in both living Drosophila S2 cells and Malpighian tubules.
