A novel off-on fluorescent chemosensor for Al³⁺ derived from a 4,5-diazafluorene Schiff base derivative.

ABSTRACT: The performance of a chemosensor is closely related to its structure. A new Schiff bass (DFSB) based on 4,5-diazafluorene units has been synthesized in this work. The interaction of DFSB with different metal ions has been studied using UV-vis absorption spectra and fluorescent spectra. The results show that DFSB is a highly selective and sensitive probe for Al³⁺ ions over other commonly coexisting metal ions in ethanol. A very obvious fluorescence enhancement effect was observed, and a turn-on ratio over 1312-fold was triggered with the addition of 10 equiv. of Al³⁺ ions. What is more, such fluorescent responses could be detected by the naked eye under a UV-lamp. The lowest detection limit for Al³⁺ was determined as 3.7 × 10^-8 M. The complex solution (DFSB-Al³⁺) exhibited reversibility with EDTA. These results may be caused by the unique molecular structure.

Schiff Base Compounds Derived from 5-Methyl Salicylaldehyde as Turn-On Fluorescent Probes for Al3+ Detection: Experimental and DFT Calculations.

Project description:Using 5-methyl salicylaldehyde (2) as a reactant to react with different amines, 2-aminobenzimidazole (1a), 2-aminobenzothiazole (1b), and 2-aminopyridine (1c), respectively, three types of Schiff base fluorescent probes 3a-3c were designed and synthesized for selective detection of Al3+ in aqueous media. The structure of the compounds was acquired by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and X-ray single-crystal diffraction. Furthermore, their photochromic and fluorescent behaviors have been investigated systematically by fluorescence spectra. Compounds 3a-3c can exhibit high selectivity, sensitivity, and anti-interference properties towards Al3+ in aqueous media. Among them, the limit of detection (LOD) of probe 3b for Al3+ is 2.81 × 10-7 M. Notably, the response times of probes 3a-3c for Al3+ are 90 s, 80 s, and 80 s, respectively, which are much faster than most previously reported probes. The coordination stoichiometry between compounds 3a-3c and Al3+ has been verified to be 1:1 through the Job's plot. After coordination with Al3+, the C=N isomerization of compounds 3a-3c is inhibited, leading to the closure of the excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) effect. At the same time, the fluorescence intensity is significantly increased through chelation-enhanced fluorescence mechanism (CHEF), which is confirmed by density functional theory (DFT) calculations. In addition, probes 3a-3c can be potentially applied in the selective and high-precision detection of Al3+ in environmental systems.

A highly sensitive triazole-based perfectly water soluble novel bis-Schiff base reversible fluorescent-colorimetric chemosensor for fast detection of Pb2+ ions.

Project description:A reversible fluorescent-colorimetric azino bis-Schiff base receptor for the detection of Pb2+ in aqueous medium has been developed for the first time. Receptor L exhibits an excellent selective and rapid fluorescent-colorimetric response towards Pb2+. The sensitivity of the fluorescent-based assay (0.53 nM) and colorimetric assay (1.0 nM) for Pb2+ is sufficiently good in comparison to previously reported literature. From 1H NMR data, Job plot measurement and the ESI-MS spectrum, a 1 : 2 stoichiometric complexation between L and Pb2+ has been established. Receptor L shows a remarkable detection ability in a wide pH range of 4-8 and it has been successfully utilised in the determination of Pb2+ in aqueous solution of bovine serum albumin protein and in real samples. The geometry of L has been optimized by both DFT studies and NMR, FTIR and mass spectra. Moreover, we have studied molecular docking of the probe L.

A coumarin derivative-Cu2+ complex-based fluorescent chemosensor for detection of biothiols.

Project description:Herein, a novel fluorescent sensor has been developed for the detection of biothiols based on theoretical calculations of the stability constant of the complex between a Cu2+ ion and (E)-3-((2-(benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)hydrazono)methyl)-7-(diethylamino) coumarin (BDC) as a fluorescent ligand. In this study, on the basis of density functional theory method, the Gibbs free energy of ligand-exchange reaction and the solvation model were carried out using thermodynamic cycles. The obtained results are in good agreement with the experimental data. The BDC-Cu2+ complex can be used as a fluorescent sensor for the detection of biothiols in the presence of non-thiol containing amino acids, with a detection limit for cysteine at 0.3 μM. Moreover, theoretical calculations of excited states were used to elucidate variations in the fluorescence properties. The computed results show that the excited doublet states D2 and D1 are dark doublet states, which quench the fluorescence of the complex.

Fluorescent ZnII Chemosensor Mediated by a 1,8-Naphthyridine Derivative and It's Photophysical Properties.

Project description:One of the greatest challenges in using fluorescent chemosensors for highly selective and sensitive transition-metal ions is finding an efficient and simple method for its synthesis. In this study, a highly efficient fluorescence chemosensor for ZnII was developed from N-Boc-L-proline modified 1,8-naphthyridine. The fluorescence intensity of the chemosensor was increased significantly only in the presence of ZnII ion which provided a perceived color change for rapid visual sensing, while other metal ions showed fluorescence quenching or little changes. It was worth noting that the chemosensor L distinguished ZnII from CdII commonly having similar properties. The solvent effect and possible bonding mode for fluorescence enhancement have been also discussed. Results of this study indicated that the Boc-group in l-proline significantly improved the sensitivity and selectivity for ZnII detection performance, as confirmed by comparison experiments and time dependent-density functional theory (TD-DFT) calculations.

An innovative Schiff-base colorimetric chemosensor for the selective detection of Cu2+ ions and its applications.

Project description:A novel Schiff base moiety, (E)-4-(1-hydrazonoethyl)benzene-1,3-diol (2), and 2,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde were condensed in a 1 : 1 molar ratio to generate 4-((E)-1-(((Z)-2,4dihydroxybenzylidene)hydrazono)ethyl)benzene-1,3-diol (L), which was then characterized using high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS), 1H-NMR, 13C NMR, and single-crystal XRD techniques. UV-vis absorbance measurements were used to determine whether the Schiff base could detect the cupric ions more effectively than the other transition metal ions. When Cu2+ ions were involved, a new band was observed at 462 nm. From the Job plot, the binding stoichiometry for the anticipated L : Cu2+ partnership is determined to be 1 : 1. For the purpose of validating structural correlations and absorption data, DFT simulations were performed. Further, docking studies for L indicated high binding affinity for human hemoglobin, providing vital information about the ligand's favorable binding locations inside hemoglobin binding sites and the consequent interactions with HHb. The binding coefficient and limit of detection were found to be 3.02 × 104 M-1 and 42.09 nM, respectively. Reversibility of the complex was seen upon the addition of EDTA to the L-Cu2+ solution, and a colorimetric variation simulating the "INHIBIT" molecular logic gate was seen upon the addition of Cu2+ and EDTA to L. Furthermore, the chemosensor's potential application in the detection of Cu2+ in the solid state by chemosensor L also confirms its usefulness in real-world applications emphasizing its versatility and practical utility.

Triazole-based novel bis Schiff base colorimetric and fluorescent turn-on dual chemosensor for Cu2+ and Pb2+: application to living cell imaging and molecular logic gates.

Project description:A triazole-based novel bis Schiff base colorimetric and fluorescent chemosensor (L) has been designed, synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, 1H-NMR, ESI-MS, FTIR spectra and DFT studies. The receptor L showed selective and sensitive colorimetric sensing ability for Cu2+ and Pb2+ ions by changing color from colorless to yellow and light yellow respectively in CH3OH-tris-buffer (1 : 1, v/v). However, it displayed strong fluorescence enhancement upon the addition of both Cu2+ and Pb2+ ions, attributed to the blocking of PET. The fluorometric detection limits for Cu2+ and Pb2+ were found to be 12 × 10-7 M and 9 × 10-7 M and the colorimetric detection limits were 3.7 × 10-6 M and 1.2 × 10-6 M respectively; which are far below the permissible concentration in drinking water determined by WHO. Moreover, it was found that chemosensor L worked as a reversible fluorescence probe towards Cu2+ and Pb2+ ions by the accumulation of S2- and EDTA respectively. Based on the physicochemical and analytical methods like ESI-mass spectrometry, Job plot, FT-IR, 1H-NMR spectra and DFT studies the detection mechanism may be explained as metal coordination, photoinduced electron transfer (PET) as well as an internal charge transfer (ICT) process. The sensor could work in a pH span of 4.0-12.0. The chemosensor L shows its application potential in the detection of Cu2+ and Pb2+ in real samples, living cells and building of molecular logic gate.

4,5-Diazafluorene and 9,9'-Dimethyl-4,5-Diazafluorene as Ligands Supporting Redox-Active Mn and Ru Complexes.

Project description:4,5-diazafluorene (daf) and 9,9'-dimethyl-4,5-diazafluorene (Me2daf) are structurally similar to the important ligand 2,2'-bipyridine (bpy), but significantly less is known about the redox and spectroscopic properties of metal complexes containing Me2daf as a ligand than those containing bpy. New complexes Mn(CO)3Br(daf) (2), Mn(CO)3Br(Me2daf) (3), and [Ru(Me2daf)3](PF6)2 (5) have been prepared and fully characterized to understand the influence of the Me2daf framework on their chemical and electrochemical properties. Structural data for 2, 3, and 5 from single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis reveal a distinctive widening of the daf and Me2daf chelate angles in comparison to the analogous Mn(CO)3(bpy)Br (1) and [Ru(bpy)3]2+ (4) complexes. Electronic absorption data for these complexes confirm the electronic similarity of daf, Me2daf, and bpy, as spectra are dominated in each case by metal-to-ligand charge transfer bands in the visible region. However, the electrochemical properties of 2, 3, and 5 reveal that the redox-active Me2daf framework in 3 and 5 undergoes reduction at a slightly more negative potential than that of bpy in 1 and 4. Taken together, the results indicate that Me2daf could be useful for preparation of a variety of new redox-active compounds, as it retains the useful redox-active nature of bpy but lacks the acidic, benzylic C-H bonds that can induce secondary reactivity in complexes bearing daf.

A Highly Selective Perylenediimide-Based Chemosensor: "Naked-Eye" Colorimetric and Fluorescent Turn-On Recognition for Al3.

Project description:A novel "turn-on" fluorescent probe (PCN) was designed, synthesized, and characterized with perylene tetracarboxylic disimide as the fluorophore and Schiff base subunit as the metal ion receptor. The probe demonstrated a considerable fluorescence enhancement in the presence of Al3+ in DMF with high selectivity and sensitivity. Furthermore, the considerably "off-on" fluorescence response simultaneously led to the apparent color change from colorless to brilliant yellow, which could also be identified by naked eye easily. The sensing capability of PCN to Al3+ was evaluated by the changes in ultraviolet-visible, fluorescence, Fourier transform-infrared, proton nuclear magnetic resonance, and high-resolution mass spectrometry spectroscopies. The linear concentration range for Al3+ was 0-63 μM with a detection limit of 0.16 μM, which allowed for the quantitative determination of Al3+.

A Zinc(II) Schiff Base Complex as Fluorescent Chemosensor for the Selective and Sensitive Detection of Copper(II) in Aqueous Solution.

Project description:The development of chemosensors able to detect analytes in a variety of sample matrices through a low-cost, fast, and direct approach is of current interest in food, health, industrial, and environmental fields. This contribution presents a simple approach for the selective and sensitive detection of Cu2+ ions in aqueous solution based on a transmetalation process of a fluorescent substituted Zn(salmal) complex. Transmetalation is accompanied by relevant optical absorption changes and quenching of the fluorescence emission, leading to high selectivity and sensitivity of the chemosensor, with the advantage of not requiring any sample pretreatment or pH adjustment. Competitive experiments demonstrate a high selectivity of the chemosensor towards Cu2+ with respect to the most common metal cations as potential interferents. A limit of detection down to 0.20 μM and a dynamic linear range up to 40 μM are achieved from fluorometric data. By exploiting the fluorescence quenching upon formation of the copper(II) complex, simple paper-based sensor strips, visible to naked eyes under UV light, are used for the rapid, qualitative, and quantitative in situ detection of Cu2+ ions in aqueous solution over a wide concentration range, up to 10.0 mM, in specific environments, such as in industrial wastewater, where higher concentrations of Cu2+ ions can occur.

Selenocystine-Derived Label-Free Fluorescent Schiff Base Nanocomplex for siRNA Delivery Synergistically Kills Cancer Cells.

Project description:Chemo and siRNA synergic treatments for tumors is a promising new therapeutic trend. Selenocystine, a selenium analog of cysteine, has been considered a potential antitumor agent due to its redox perturbing role. In this study, we developed a nanocarrier for siRNA based on a selenocystine analog engineered polyetherimide and achieved traceable siRNA delivery and the synergic killing of tumor cells. Notably, we applied the label-free Schiff base fluorescence mechanism, which enabled us to trace the siRNA delivery and to monitor the selenocystine analogs' local performance. A novel selenocystine-derived fluorescent Schiff base linker was used to crosslink the polyetherimide, thereby generating a traceable siRNA delivery vehicle with green fluorescence. Moreover, we found that this compound induced tumor cells to undergo senescence. Together with the delivery of a siRNA targeting the anti-apoptotic BCL-xl/w genes in senescent cells, it achieved a synergistic inhibition function by inducing both senescence and apoptosis of tumor cells. Therefore, this study provides insights into the development of label-free probes, prodrugs, and materials towards the synergic strategies for cancer therapy.
