Abstract
Alendronate-functionalized graphene quantum dots (ALEN-GQDs) with a quantum yield of 57% were synthesized via a two-step route: preparation of graphene quantum dots (GQDs) by pyrolysis method using citric acid as the carbon source and post functionalization of GQDs via a hydrothermal method with alendronate sodium. After careful characterization of the obtained ALEN-GQDs, they were successfully employed as sensing materials with superior selectivity and sensitivity for the detection of nanomolar levels of arsenic ions (As(III)). According to the mechanistic investigation, arsenic ions can quench the fluorescence intensity of ALEN-GQDs through metal-ligand interaction between the As(III) ions and the surface functional groups of the fluorescent probe. This probe provided a rapid method to monitor As(III) with a wide detection range (44 nM-1.30 µM) and a low detection limit of 13 nM. Finally, to validate the applicability, this novel fluorescent probe was successfully applied for the quantitative determination of As(III) in rice and water samples.

Abstract
In this article, a new off-mode fluorescent platform based on the metal-organic framework (MOF) is introduced as a highly selective and rapid chemical sensor for the detection of As(III) in water and wastewater samples. A typical Fe-BTC (BTC = 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylate or trimesic acid) MOF was used as a porous template for loading gold nanoparticles (AuNPs@Fe-BTC MOF). The physicochemical properties of AuNPs@Fe-BTC MOF were characterized by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EAX), element mapping (MAP) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. This sensing method for As(III) ions is based on the fact that the fluorescence intensity of AuNPs@Fe-BTC MOF sensor decreases in proportion to the increase in As(III) concentration. The main effective factors on the performance of the sensor signal such as MOF dosage, sonication time, pH and reaction time were optimized. Under optimized conditions, the calibration graph was linear in the concentration range of 0.5-380 ng mL-1 of As(III) and the limit of detection was 0.2 ng mL-1. The proposed method was successfully validated by addition/recovery experiments by the determination of As(III) in four river water and two wastewater effluent samples.

Abstract
Raising public awareness over the emerging health risk due to intake of arsenic-contaminated potable water is a matter of great concern. Exploration of cost-effective, self-testing kits is a substantial way to reach out to the masses and detect the presence of arsenate in water. With this agenda, a photoluminescent Mannich base Zn(II) complex (ZnMC = [Zn2(ML)2]·(ClO4)2·(H2O); HML = Mannich base ligand) has been synthesized, and its dinuclearity was verified with single-crystal X-ray diffraction structural analysis. Among a range of anions, ZnMC was found to detect arsenate selectively by showing a turn-off emission with a color change from bright green to dark under UV light. The real-life applicability of the ZnMC probe is somewhat restricted to only sensing of arsenate, but not its removal owing to the fact of its homogeneity. Considering the efficacy of ZnMC as well as a need for its easy removal from water, slight modification has been done with chloride ions in the form of ZnMC″ (=[Zn2(ML)2(Cl)2]), and finally, an interface between homogeneous and heterogeneous solid support has been explored with a strategic fabrication of ZnMC″ grafted ZnAl2O4, named as ZAZ nanomaterial. This not only imparts successful segregation of arsenate from drinking water but also provides naked-eye detection under ambient light as well as UV light. Thermodynamic parameters associated with the binding of arsenate to ZnMC and ZAZ have been evaluated through isothermal calorimetric (ITC) measurements. Steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence titration study, absorption titration study, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and computational calculations have been performed to get deep insights into the sensing properties. Proper justification of the sensing mechanism is the highlight of this work. ZAZ nanomaterial has been exploited to produce a self-test paper kit for arsenate detection with a limit of 9.86 ppb, which potentially enables applications in environmental monitoring.

Abstract
Due to biological and environmental significance of highly toxic arsenic species, the design, synthesis and development of chemosensors for arsenic species has been a very active research field in recent times. In this review, we summarize recent works on the sensing mechanisms employed by fluorometric/colorimetric chemosensors and their applications in arsenic detection. Various types of sensing strategies can be categorized into six types including (i) chemosensors based on hydrogen bonding interactions; (ii) aggregation induced emission (AIE) based chemosensors; (iii) chemodosimetric approach (reaction-based chemosensors); (iv) metal coordination-based sensing strategy; (v) chemosensors based on metal complex displacement approach and (vi) metal complex as chemosensor. All these sensing strategies are very much simple and sensitive for use in the design of arsenic selective chromogenic and fluorogenic probes.

Masking Phosphate with Rare-Earth Elements Enables Selective Detection of Arsenate by Dipycolylamine-Zn II Chemosensor. Sci Rep 2020; 10:2656.

Abstract
Functional reassessment of the phosphate-specific chemosensors revealed their potential as arsenate detectors. A series of dipicolylamine (Dpa)-ZnII chemosensors were screened, among which acridine Dpa-ZnII chemosensor showed the highest capability in sensing arsenate. The presence of excess ZnII improved sensitivity and strengthened the binding between acridine Dpa-ZnII complex to arsenate as well as phosphate. However, due to their response to phosphate, these sensors are not suited for arsenate detection when phosphate is also present. This study demonstrated for the first time that rare-earth elements could effectively mask phosphate, allowing the specific fluorescence detection of arsenate in phosphate-arsenate coexisting systems. In addition, detection of arsenate contamination in the real river water samples and soil samples was performed to prove its practical use. This sensor was further employed for the visualization of arsenate and phosphate uptake in vegetables and flowering plants for the first time, as well as in the evaluation of a potent inhibitor of arsenate/phosphate uptake.

Abstract
An amide-based smart probe (L) is explored for nanomolar detection of Mo(VI) ion in a ratiometric manner, involving hydrogen-bond-assisted chelation-enhanced fluorescence process through inhibition of photoinduced electron transfer process. The recognition of Mo(VI) is associated with a 17-fold fluorescence enhancement and confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction of the resulting Mo(VI) complex (M1). Further, M1 selectively recognizes arsenite through green emission of their adduct (C1) with an 81-fold fluorescence enhancement. Interestingly, dihydrogen phosphate causes dissociation of C1 back to free L having weak fluorescence. The methods are fast, highly selective, and allow their bare eye visualization at physiological pH. All of the interactions have been substantiated by time-dependent density functional theory calculations to rationalize their spectroscopic properties. The corresponding lowest detection limits are 1.5 × 10-8 M for Mo(VI), 1.2 × 10-10 M for AsO2 -, and 3.2 × 10-6 M for H2PO4 -, whereas the respective association constants are 4.21 × 105 M-1 for Mo(VI), 6.49 × 104 M-1 for AsO2 -, and 2.11 × 105 M-1 for H2PO4 -. The L is useful for efficient enrichment of Mo(VI) from aqueous solution, while M1 efficiently removes AsO2 - from environmental samples by solid-phase extraction.
