Investigation of sorptive interactions between volatile organic compounds and supramolecules at dynamic oscillation using bulk acoustic wave resonator virtual sensor arrays. MICROSYSTEMS & NANOENGINEERING 2024; 10:99. [PMID: 39021529 PMCID: PMC11252376 DOI: 10.1038/s41378-024-00729-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/24/2024] [Revised: 05/19/2024] [Accepted: 05/29/2024] [Indexed: 07/20/2024]
Abstract
Supramolecules are considered as promising materials for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) sensing applications. The proper understanding of the sorption process taking place in host-guest interactions is critical in improving the pattern recognition of supramolecules-based sensing arrays. Here, we report a novel approach to investigate the dynamic host-guest recognition process by employing a bulk acoustic wave (BAW) resonator capable of producing multiple oscillation amplitudes and simultaneously recording multiple responses to VOCs. Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) were modified on four BAW sensors to demonstrate the gas-surface interactions regarding oscillation amplitude and SAM length. Based on the method, a virtual sensor array (VSA) type electronic nose (e-nose) can be realized by pattern recognition of multiple responses at different oscillation amplitudes of a single sensor. VOCs analysis was realized respectively by using principal component analysis (PCA) for individual VOC identification and linear discriminant analysis (LDA) for VOCs mixtures classification.

Colorimetric assay based on peroxidase-like activity of dodecyl trimethylammonium bromide-tetramethyl zinc (4-pyridinyl) porphyrin for detection of organophosphorus pesticides. Mikrochim Acta 2022; 189:375. [PMID: 36074197 DOI: 10.1007/s00604-022-05430-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/03/2022] [Accepted: 07/08/2022] [Indexed: 10/14/2022]
Abstract
A simple and sensitive colorimetric assay for detecting organophosphorus pesticides (OPs) was developed based on 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB)/hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)/dodecyl trimethylammonium bromide (DTAB)-tetramethyl zinc (4-pyridinyl) porphyrin (ZnTPyP). In this system, based on the peroxidase-like activity of DTAB-ZnTPyP, H2O2 decomposes to produce hydroxyl radicals, which oxidize TMB, resulting in blue oxidation products. The OPs (trichlorfon, dichlorvos, and thimet) were first combined with DTAB-ZnTPyP through electrostatic interactions. The OPs caused a decrease in the peroxidase-like activity of DTAB-ZnTPyP due to spatial site blocking. At the same time, π-interactions occurred between them, and these interactions also inhibited the oxidation of TMB (652 nm), thus making the detection of OPs possible. The limits of detection for trichlorfon, dichlorvos, and thimet were 0.25, 1.02, and 0.66 μg/L, respectively, and the corresponding linear ranges were 1-35, 5-45, and 1-40 μg/L, respectively. Moreover, the assay was successfully used to determine OPs in cabbage, apple, soil, and traditional Chinese medicine samples (the recovery ratios were 91.8-109.8%), showing a great promising potential for detecting OPs also in other complex samples.

Abstract
Porphyrins are versatile structures capable of acting in multiple ways. A mixed substituted A3B porphyrin, 5-(3-hydroxy-phenyl)-10,15,20-tris-(3-methoxy-phenyl)-porphyrin and its Pt(II) complex, were synthesised and fully characterised by 1H- and 13C-NMR, TLC, UV-Vis, FT-IR, fluorescence, AFM, TEM and SEM with EDX microscopy, both in organic solvents and in acidic mediums. The pure compounds were used, firstly, as sensitive materials for sensitive and selective optical and fluorescence detection of hydroquinone with the best results in the range 0.039–6.71 µM and a detection limit of 0.013 µM and, secondly, as corrosion inhibitors for carbon–steel (OL) in an acid medium giving a best performance of 88% in the case of coverings with Pt-porphyrin. Finally, the electrocatalytic activity for the hydrogen and oxygen evolution reactions (HER and OER) of the free-base and Pt-metalated A3B porphyrins was evaluated in strong alkaline and acidic electrolyte solutions. The best results were obtained for the electrode modified with the metalated porphyrin, drop-casted on a graphite substrate from an N,N-dimethylformamide solution. In the strong acidic medium, the electrode displayed an HER overpotential of 108 mV, at i = −10 mA/cm2 and a Tafel slope value of 205 mV/dec.

Abstract
The development of cost-effective and eco-friendly sensor materials is needed to realize the application of detectors in daily life-such as in the internet of things. In this regard, monitoring air pollutants such as carbon monoxide (CO) and carbon dioxide (CO2), mainly emitted by anthropogenic sources from daily human activities, is of great importance. In particular, developing a susceptible and portable CO2 sensor raises a dilemma because of the chemical inertness and non-polarity of CO2 molecules. We find that porphyrin-based materials, exploited by nature in biological systems, are a playground to search for such sensor materials. Using density functional non-equilibrium Green's function formalism, we fully screen all 3d metalloporphyrin (MPor) based devices to find efficient CO and CO2 gas sensors. Our detailed analysis of the adsorption energy, molecular orbitals, transmission spectra, sensitivity, and recovery time reveals that the nature of central M alters the efficiency of MPor gas detectors. We find that CO and CO2 can be monitored using, respectively, CoPor- and TiPor-based devices. The estimated sensitivity is around 100%, along with a fast recovery time at very low bias voltages (V ≥ 0.5 V), which turn metalloporphyrins into promising candidates for the widespread development of enhanced CO and CO2 sensors awaiting further experimental validations.

Abstract
Photoimaging and phototherapy have become major platforms for the diagnosis and treatment of various health complications. These applications require a photosensitizer (PS) that is capable of absorbing light from a source and converting it into other energy forms for detection and therapy. While synthetic inorganic materials such as quantum dots and gold nanorods have been widely explored for their medical diagnosis and photodynamic (PDT) and photothermal (PTT) therapy capabilities, translation of these technologies has lagged, primarily owing to potential cytotoxicity and immunogenicity issues. Of the various photoreactive molecules, the naturally occurring endogenous compound heme, a constituent of red blood cells, and its derivatives, porphyrin, biliverdin and bilirubin, have shown immense potential as noteworthy candidates for clinically translatable photoreactive agents, as evidenced by previous reports. While porphyrin-based photomedicines have attracted significant attention and are well documented, research on photomedicines based on two other heme-derived compounds, biliverdin and bilirubin, has been relatively lacking. In this review, we summarize the unique photoproperties of heme-derived compounds and outline recent efforts to use them in biomedical imaging and phototherapy applications.

Abstract
CN- and Hg2+ ions are harmful to both the environment and human health, even at trace levels. Thus, alternative methods for their detection and quantification are highly desirable given that the traditional monitoring systems are expensive and require qualified personnel. Optical chemosensors (probes) have revolutionized the sensing of different species due to their high specificity and sensitivity, corresponding with their modular design. They have also been used in aqueous media and different pH ranges, facilitating their applications in various samples. The design of molecular probes is based on organic dyes, where the key species are N-heterocyclic compounds (NHCs) due to their proven photophysical properties, biocompatibility, and synthetic versatility, which favor diverse applications. Accordingly, this review aims to provide an overview of the reports from 2016 to 2021, in which fluorescent probes based on five- and six-membered N-heterocycles are used for the detection of CN- and Hg2+ ions.
