JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 464:132999. [PMID: 37988945 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2023.132999] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/10/2023] [Revised: 11/10/2023] [Accepted: 11/11/2023] [Indexed: 11/23/2023]
Abstract
Mercury ions (Hg2+) primarily target mitochondria in the cells. Therefore, the development of novel probes that specifically target mitochondria in the presence of Hg2+ is of immense importance. Most previously reported probes that utilize the softness of S, Te, O, and/or N atoms for Hg2+ binding often face problems such as fluorescence quenching and off-target signals. In this study, bromide-hydrocarbon pyridinium salts were designed to target the mitochondria and chelate Hg2+ via Hg-Br coordination bonds. As a prototype, four aggregation-induced emission (AIE) fluorogens, namely TPP-Br, TPP-Cl, R1, and R2, with a similar D-π-A structure but slight differences in their halogen substituents, were designed. Among them, only TPP-Br achieved the highly selective and sensitive detection of Hg2+ by triggering its AIE properties, resulting in remarkable emission enhancement (80-fold), colorimetry, and the Tyndall effect. TPP-Br exhibited high selectivity and sensitivity to Hg2+ with a detection limit of 0.35 μM, rapid response time (<10 s), and large Stokes shift of 185 nm. Their interaction modes were studied using a combination of 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, fluorescent lifetime decay, and theoretical calculations. TPP-Br exhibited a low emission background in cells, whereas in the presence of Hg2+, mitochondria were lit up with wash-free staining. This study provides a powerful tool for accurately diagnosing mercury poisoning-related diseases in mitochondria.

Abstract
Mercury ion (Hg2+) is a well-known toxic heavy metal. It has become one of the most significant environmental pollutants in the world because of its serious physiological toxicity, persistence, easy migration, and high bioconcentration. Thus, the development of methods for monitoring Hg2+ is indispensable. Herein, we have designed and synthesized a new fluorescent probe, TPH, for the detection of Hg2+ in the water environment. The TPH probe could quantitatively detect Hg2+ between 0 and 5 μM (LOD = 16 nM), with a linear range of 0-2.5 μM. In addition, the TPH probe was used to monitor Hg2+ in water samples successfully. Thus, this probe is suitable for monitoring Hg2+ in the actual water environment.

Fluorescent RET-Based Chemosensor Bearing 1,8-Naphthalimide and Styrylpyridine Chromophores for Ratiometric Detection of Hg2+ and Its Bio-Application. BIOSENSORS 2022; 12:bios12090770.

Abstract
Dyad compound NI-SP bearing 1,8-naphthalimide (NI) and styrylpyridine (SP) photoactive units, in which the N-phenylazadithia-15-crown-5 ether receptor is linked with the energy donor naphthalimide chromophore, has been evaluated as a ratiometric fluorescent chemosensor for mercury (II) ions in living cells. In an aqueous solution, NI-SP selectively responds to the presence of Hg2+ via the enhancement in the emission intensity of NI due to the inhibition of the photoinduced electron transfer from the receptor to the NI fragment. At the same time, the long wavelength fluorescence band of SP, arising as a result of resonance energy transfer from the excited NI unit, appears to be virtually unchanged upon Hg2+ binding. This allows self-calibration of the optical response. The observed spectral behavior is consistent with the formation of the (NI-SP)·Hg2+ complex (dissociation constant 0.13 ± 0.04 µM). Bio-imaging studies showed that the ratio of fluorescence intensity in the 440–510 nm spectral region to that in the 590–650 nm region increases from 1.1 to 2.8 when cells are exposed to an increasing concentration of mercury (II) ions, thus enabling the detection of intracellular Hg2+ ions and their quantitative analysis in the 0.04–1.65 μM concentration range.

Abstract
Polyvinylpyrrolidone stabilized silver nanoparticles (PV-AgNPs) were synthesized from AgNO3/trisodium citrate and with the assistance of microwave energy. The synthesized PV-AgNPs were found to own an actual peroxidase mimicking activity. This catalytic activity can oxidize the non-fluorescence reagent (o-phenylenediamine) to a high fluorescence reaction product (2,3-diaminophenazine). The reaction product exhibited a fluorescence emission at 563 nm upon the excitation at 420. Among many metals, only mercury (II) ions can inhibit the catalytic activity of PV-AgNPs nanozyme. Accordingly, the fluorescence intensity of the reaction product has been successfully quenched. This quenching effect in the fluorescence intensity was directly proportional to the concentration of mercury (II). Depending on this finding, a simple, cost-effective, and selective spectrofluorimetric approach has been designed for mercury (II) detection in water samples. The linear relationship between the inhibition in fluorescence intensity and mercury (II) concentration was found in 20–2000 nM with a detection limit of 8.9 nM.

Abstract
A novel symmetric bianthracene derivative (D2) containing one benzene ring and two ethyl thioglycolates connecting to the benzene ring on both sides of the bianthracene unit was designed and synthesized. D2 can detect Fe3+ and Hg2+ in acetonitrile/water (6:4, v/v) solution via different changes of absorbance and fluorescence in the pH range from 3 to 10. D2 exhibits high colorimetric sensitivity for Fe3+ with low detection limit (1.87 × 10-5 mol/L). The absorbance intensity of D2 in acetonitrile/water solution show a linear response to Fe3+ in the wide concentration range of 0 -1000 μM, which is beneficial for quantitative analysis. D2 also displays highly selective fluorescent sensing for Hg2+ with a low detection limit of 1.07 µM over other metal ions and can accurately detect the existence of Hg2+ in water samples.

Abstract
The redox-active ferrocene containing two cyclopentadienyl rings and iron was extensively employed in the field of sensing, catalysis, medicine, biotechnology etc., due to the structural stability, solubility in common solvents and easy structural modification to make a wide variety of ferrocene derivatives. The ferrocene moiety can be linked suitably with fluoro-chromogenic units and applied for the multichannel (fluorescent, chromogenic and redox) sensing of various bioactive and toxic analytes. This review was narrated to compile some important ferrocene based fluorescent chemosensors developed for the detection of metal ions, anions and neutral analytes. The analytical novelty and sensing mechanisms of the summarized chemosensors are discussed to open new scopes for future research.

Abstract
A key issue for constructing optical and redox-active receptors is how to conjugate a specific sensing kernel with a multi-signal-responsive system to carry out multi-feature analysis. Mercury is considered to be highly toxic to human health and ecological security. In this work, we present a novel near-infrared optical and redox-active receptor that can sense Hg2+ at ppb level in aqueous media via multi-model monitors with a low detection limit of 8.4 × 10-9 M (1.68 ppb). This receptor features a visible detection, 'off-on' fluorescence response, and efficient electrochemistry assessment, as well as pH-insensitivity to Hg2+ with high sensitivity. In view of its marked near-infrared emission and fluorescence enhancement, we successfully applied this receptor to visualize Hg2+ in live cells. Furthermore, a possible sensing model was established and rationalized with theoretical studies.

Abstract
Bis(styryl) dye 1 bearing N-phenylazadithia-15-crown-5 ether receptor has been evaluated as a ratiometric fluorescent chemosensor for mercury (II) ions in living cells. In aqueous solution, probe 1 selectively responds to the presence of Hg2+ via the changes in the emission intensity as well as in the emission band shape, which is a result of formation of the complex with 1:1 metal to ligand ratio (dissociation constant 0.56 ± 0.15 µM). The sensing mechanism is based on the interplay between the RET (resonance energy transfer) and ICT (intramolecular charge transfer) interactions occurring upon the UV/Vis (380 or 405 nm) photoexcitation of both styryl chromophores in probe 1. Bio-imaging studies revealed that the yellow (500-600 nm) to red (600-730 nm) fluorescence intensity ratio decreased from 4.4 ± 0.2 to 1.43 ± 0.10 when cells were exposed to increasing concentration of mercury (II) ions enabling ratiometric quantification of intracellular Hg2+ concentration in the 37 nM-1 μM range.
