We designed and synthesized a fluorescent "turn-on" and colorimetric chemosensor ((E)-1-((p-tolylimino)methyl)naphthalen-2-ol) SB. The structure of the synthesized chemosensor was investigated by H NMR, FT-IR, and fluorescence spectroscopy, and its sensing properties were studied toward Mn, Cu, Pb, Cd, Na, Ni, Al, K, Ag, Zn, Co, Cr, Hg, Ca, and Mg. SB showed an excellent colorimetric (yellow to yellowish brown) in MeOH and fluorescence "turn-on" sensing response to Cu in MeOH/Water (10/90, v/v) media.

Herein, a novel optical chemosensor, ( = 2, 6-di((E)-benzylidene)-4-methylcyclohexan-1-one), was designed/synthesized and characterized by H-NMR and FT-IR spectroscopy. The experimental observations indicated that is an efficient and selective chemosensor towards Cd, even in the presence of other metal ions, such as Mn, Cu, Co Ce, K, Hg, and Zn in the aqueous medium. The newly synthesized chemosensor, , showed a significant change in the fluorescence emission spectrum upon coordination with Cd.

Herbal remedies have been employed for the treatment and management of different diseases for ages. Herbal medicines are a promising choice over modern synthetic drugs because of their low side effects and are thus considered to be safe and effective in treating human diseases. Lagenaria siceraria (Mol.

Electrocatalytic materials offer numerous benefits due to their wide range of applications. In this study, a polyol technique was used to synthesize PdNi nanoparticles (NPs) with different percent atomic compositions (Pd = 50 to 90%) to explore their catalytic efficiency. The produced nanoparticles were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and electrochemical investigations.
