A multifunctional Schiff base fluorescence sensor for Hg2+, Cu2+ and Co2+ ions

synthesis of a novel fluorescent schiff base as a possible hg and ag ions selective sensor

A new multifunctional Schiff base as a fluorescence sensor for Al³⁺ and a colorimetric sensor for CN⁻ in aqueous media: an application to bioimaging.

A multifunctional fluorescent and colorimetric receptor 1 ((E)-N'-((8-hydroxy-1,2,3,5,6,7-hexahydropyrido[3,2,1-ij]quinolin-9-yl)methylene)benzohydrazide) for the detection of both Al(3+) and CN(-) in aqueous solution has been developed. Receptor 1 exhibited an excellent selective fluorescence response toward Al(3+). The sensitivity of the fluorescent based assay (0.193 μM) for Al(3+) is far be...

A turn-on and reversible Schiff base fluorescence sensor for Al3+ ion.

A simple Schiff-base receptor 2 was prepared. It exhibits an “off-on-type” mode with high sensitivity in the presence of Al3+. The receptor 2 exhibited a high association constant with submicromolar detection for Al3+ in EtOH–H2O (95:5 v/v) solution. The addition of EDTA quenches the fluorescence of the receptor 2·Al3+ complex offering receptor 2 as a reversible chemosensor.

Indole-based chemosensor for Hg2+ and Cu2+ ions: applications in molecular switches and live cell imaging.

An indole based "ratiometric" and "turn-off" tris(N-methylindolyl)methane based chemosensor depicting a contrasting fluorescent behavior towards Hg(2+) and Cu(2+) ions, exhibited NOR and YES logic functions, and also imaged intracellular Hg(2+) in cervix cancer (HeLa) cells.

Highly efficient catalyst for removal of heavy metal ions modified by a novel Schiff base ligand

An alomina-based nano adsorbent was prepared by modification of the external surface of γ-alumina (γ-Al2O3) nanoparticles with functional groups of a new Schiff base 4-[(2-hydroxy-3-methoxy-benzylidene)-amino]-5-methyl-2,4-dihydro-[1,2.4]triazole-3-thione] “L”. In order to the removal of Cr(VI) from aqueous solutions, we used the reaction of the sodium dodecyl sulfate coated nano-alumina with L...
