A pair of cobalt(II)-based hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks (HOFs), [Co(pca)2(bmimb)]n (1) and [Co2(pca)4(bimb)2] (2), where Hpca = p-chlorobenzoic acid, bmimb = 1,3-bis((2-methylimidazol-1-yl)methyl)benzene, and bimb = 1,4-bis(imidazol-1-ylmethyl)benzene were hydrothermally synthesized and characterized through infrared spectroscopy (IR), elemental and thermal analysis (EA), power X-ray diffraction (PXRD), and single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD) analyses. X-ray diffraction structural analysis revealed that 1 has a one-dimensional (1D) infinite chain network through the deprotonated pca− monodentate chelation and with a μ2-bmimb bridge Co(II) atom, and 2 is a binuclear Co(II) complex construction with a pair of symmetry-related pca− and bimb ligands. For both 1 and 2, each cobalt atom has four coordinated twisted tetrahedral configurations with a N2O2 donor set. Then, 1 and 2 are further extended into three-dimensional (3D) or two-dimensional (2D) hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks through C–H···Cl interactions. Topologically, HOFs 1 and 2 can be simplified as a 4-connected qtz topology with a Schläfli symbol {64·82} and a 4-connected sql topology with a Schläfli symbol {44·62}, respectively. The fluorescent sensing application of 1 was investigated; 1 exhibits high sensitivity recognition for Fe3+ (Ksv: 10970 M−1 and detection limit: 19 μM) and Cr2O72− (Ksv: 12960 M−1 and detection limit: 20 μM). This work provides a feasible detection platform of HOFs for highly sensitive discrimination of Fe3+ and Cr2O72− in aqueous media.

We report a new Schiff base fluorescent probe which senses ferric ion, Fe(III), with a significant fluorescence enhancement response. The probe showed high sensitivity (0.8 ppb), and fast response time (<10 s) of Fe(III) in aqueous media. In addition, the probe showed the ability to sense Fe(III) in a HeLa cancer cell line, with very low cytotoxicity. As a new bio-imaging probe for Fe(III), it gave bright fluorescent images in confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM).

Background: Dichromate (Cr2O7 2-) ion is one of the carcinogenic and toxic spices in environment which can easily contaminate the environment due to its high solubility in water. Therefore, a lot of attention has been focused on the detection of Cr2O7 2- with high sensitivity and selectivity. Methods: In present work, nitrogen-rich precursor was used for synthesizing graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) nanostructures through hydrothermal oxidation of g-C3N4 nanosheets. The prepared nanostructures show two distinct fluorescence emissions centered at 368 and 450 nm which are highly sensitive toward Cr2O7 2- ions. Results: The as-prepared g-C3N4 was characterized by several techniques such as Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and fluorescence emission spectra. The XRD pattern of prepared nanostructures illustrated two diffraction patterns (at 13.4° and 27.6°) indicating tri-s-tri-azine-based structures. The g-C3N4 exhibited good selectivity and sensitivity toward Cr2O7 2- among other anions. According to titration test, the detection limit and stern-volmer constant (Ksv) were calculated as 40 nM and 0.13×106 M-1, respectively. The investigation of quenching mechanism shows that Cr2O7 2- may form hydrogen bonding with surface groups of g-C3N4 (such as NH2, OH and COOH) resulted in more fluorescence quenching in comparison with the pure inner filter effect. Conclusion: The g-C3N4 nanostructures were successfully synthesized through the hydrothermal oxidation. The as-prepared g-C3N4 can be used as a highly sensitive fluorescent probe for the selective determination of Cr2O7 2 ion among other anions. The quenching mechanism was experimentally studied. According to reliable responses in real sample tests, it can be proposed that g-C3N4 nanostructure is a suitable sensitive nanosensor for detection of Cr2O7 2 ions in aqueous media.

Surface plasmon and evanescent wave sensors are attractive for chemical and biological sensing applications. They can work in aqueous media and when used in conjunction with the appropriate surface chemistry they can have high specificity and high sensitivity. However, most surface plasmon sensors are relatively complex as they are based on the use of attenuated total internal reflection to excite surface plasmon resonance in a thin gold film and require light to be incident at the appropriate angle and polarization. Other surface plasmon and optical affinity sensors have used the evanescent waves in planar waveguides to interact with the environment. These devices are sensitive but, have strict optical coupling requirements and are difficult to fabricate. In optical fiber evanescent wave sensors the interaction with the surrounding environment is usually obtained by tapering an optical fiber, which significantly weakens the structure, or by just utilizing the end of the optical fiber. In this paper, in-line optical fiber structures are presented that are mechanically robust, and provide a large interaction length for high sensitivity. They are compatible with standard chemistries for optical affinity sensing of biological compounds.

In the present study, a fluorescent sensor L for sensing of Ce3+ ion was designed and characterized by XRD, 1HNMR, and FTIR. Its fluorescence behavior towards metal ion was examined by fluorescence spectroscopy. Chelation-enhanced fluorescence was shown by the sensor L upon interaction with Ce3+ ion. This fluorescent sensor exhibits high sensitivity and selectivity towards Ce3+ ion in acetonitrile solution, forming 2 : 1 (L : M) complex as determined by Job’s plot. Association constant was found to be 1×107 M−1 estimated from the Benesi-Hildebrand plot. No significant interference was observed in the presence of other studied alkali, alkaline, and transition metal ions. A rapid response was observed when employed for the determination of Ce3+ ion in spiked water samples with a limit of detection equal to 3.4×10−8 M.

Abstract From the perspective of environment, civilian safety and human health it is utmost important to selectively and sensitively detect hazardous substances in the running water. In the last few decades, metal organic frameworks (MOFs) have been utilized for the detection of lethal substances in the aqueous phase using fluorescence method. Herein, a highly fluorescent MOF, Zn-MOF-1, namely, {[Zn2(pydc)2(DMF)]·2DMF}n, based on the ligand pyridine-2,5-dicarboxylic acid (H2pydc), was synthesized by employing solvothermal conditions. The Zn-MOF-1 was thoroughly characterized by crystallographic, PXRD, elemental, FTIR, and TG analysis. Single crystal data elucidated the exact structure of Zn-MOF-1. Due to its better emission spectra, the fluorescence sensing behavior of Zn-MOF-1 was checked in the aqueous medium. It was found that Zn-MOF-1 could detect Cr3+ with high sensitivity and selectivity and serve as an excellent fluorescent probe for TNP among other interfering nitroaromatic compounds in aqueous media. Furthermore, a plausible sensing mechanism has been demonstrated employing UV-Visible, fluorescence, and theoretical data. The observed Ksv values for TNP and Cr3+ are 2.1×108 M-1 and 1.46×107 M-1, respectively. Selective fluorescence quenching with high Ksv values and low detection limits validates the superior sensing performance shown by Zn-MOF-1 toward TNP and Cr3+. Thus, the fine-tuning of MOF for the detection of hazardous substances in wastewater is a challenging task and needs to address in future endeavors.

Knoevenagel Condensation Reaction

A novel styrene (1) and azo-styrene (2) based chemosensor from vanillin has been successfully synthesized. Sensor 1 was obtained by one step Knoevenagel condensation of Ultrasound method and sensor 2 by coupling diazo and Knoevenagel condensation reaction. Both of sensors showed high sensitivity and selectivity to detect CN- in aqueous media, even the presence of other anions, such as F-, Cl-, Br-, I-, CO32-, SO42-, H2PO4-, and AcO-. Colorimetric sensing of sensor 1 is inclined to be deprotonating of sensor binding site in the presence of cyanide and consequently improve the selectivity and sensitivity in sensing cyanide which displayed color change of sensor from yellowness to red-purple and then purple in 1 min. Sensor 2 exhibited chemodosimeter phenomenon which is caused by the nucleophilic addition of cyanide with a colour change from green to greenish-blue. The results enable to do an anion detection by a naked eye.
