In this study, we aimed to explore the interaction mechanism between bovine serum albumin (BSA) and a Schiff base compound derived from 2,4-dinotrophenyl hydrazine (L) using various spectroscopic techniques. The interaction between BSA and synthesizing molecule can provide insights into binding affinity, conformational changes and potential applications in drug delivery or biochemistry. The interaction between BSA and L was studied by using UV-Vis and fluorescence titration analysis.

A great deal of effort has been put into developing a novel and cost-effective molecular probe for selective and sensitive recognition of trace amounts of water in organic solvents due to their tremendous advantages in industrial, pharmaceutical, and laboratory-scale chemistry. Herein, a cost-effective chemosensor L has been designed and studied for the detection of trace amounts of water. The addition of water to the DMSO solution of L exhibited an enhancement of fluorescence emission at 460 nm along with a color change from green to colorless.

Here, straightforward and environmentally friendly fluorescent nitrogen doped carbon quantum dots (N-CQDs) with a high blue fluorescence emission at 455 nm are used for ultrasensitive Hg ion detection. Folic acid and urea are used as carbon sources in the carbonization process. Two broad absorption bands at around 280 and 370 nm from UV-Vis spectrum and characteristic absorption peaks from infrared spectrum confirms the successful synthesis of the N-CQDs.

A novel chromone-based Schiff base L was designed and synthesized by condensing an equimolar amount of 3-formyl chromone and 2,4-dinitro phenyl hydrazine. Schiff base L was developed as a potent colorimetric and fluorescent molecular probe to recognize Hg ions over other competitive metal ions. In the presence of Hg, Schiff base L displays a naked-eye detectable color change under day and UV light.
