A novel receptor based on a substituted salicylaldehyde derivative, 2,2′-(hydrazine-1,2-diylidenedimethylylidene)bis(6-isopropyl-3-methylphenol) (1), was synthesized and characterized using various spectroscopic techniques. ...

We report the development of a fluorescent probe based on the benzothiazole unit to monitor intracellular Al3+ levels in living cells. The fluorescent probe exhibits a fluorescence response towards Al3+ under physiological ...

A new chromogenic dipodal Zn2+ complex (4) bearing an amide group has been synthesized. The anion binding profile of this sensor was investigated with fluorescence and UV-Vis spectroscopy. The receptor 4 has high affinity ...

A novel pyrrole-substituted salicylimine zinc (II) ion complex has been synthesized and evaluated its anion binding affinity. The probe 4 has high selectivity for HSO4 − over other anions in CH3OH:H2O (70:30, v/v) ...

A new receptor 3-((2-(1H-benzo[d ]imidazol-2-yl)phenylimino)methyl)benzene-1,2-diol (1) was synthesised and developed as a highly selective fluorescent chemosensor for the detection of Hg2þ in semi-aqueous media. The ...

An easy-to-prepare chemosensor, (E)-1-(phthalazine-4-yl)-2-(1-(pyridine-2- yl)ethylidene) hydrazine (3), structurally characterized by single X-ray crystallography, is developed for the selective and sensitive detection ...

A new phthalazine based chemosensor 3 was developed for the highly selective and sensitive detection of Co2+ in the mixed solvent system, CH3CN–H2O (1[thin space (1/6-em)]:[thin space (1/6-em)]1, v/v). In the presence of ...

A malonohydrazide derivative bearing an imine and phenolic group was synthesized and had a high affinity and selectivity towards Zn2þ. The recognition properties of receptor 1 were evaluated using absorbance and fluorescence ...
