In this study, we report a new syringe aldehyde-derived hydrazinyl-imidazole based fluorescent sensor (L) for sensitive detection of different inorganic quenchers (halide ions, bicarbonate ion, sulphide ion and transition metal ions). The chromophore (L) was obtained in good yield by the 1:1 condensation reaction of 2-hydrazino-4,5-dihydroimidazole hydrobromide and 4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethoxy benzaldehyde. L exhibited strong fluorescence in the visible region (around 380 nm) and its interaction with different quenchers was studied in details via fluorescence technique.

However, their aberrant concentration can result in various serious diseases. Therefore, it is essential to monitor biological species in cellular organelles such as the cell membrane, mitochondria, lysosome, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, and nucleus.

L has been designed, synthesised and characterised by H-NMR, IR spectroscopy, ESI-MS spectrometry and theoretical studies. The receptor showed appreciable colorimetric shift for both Ni and Zn ions and fluorometric "" response in presence of only Zn ion.

Herein, we have developed a simple, environment-friendly colourimetric sensor for the sensitive, selective and rapid detection of Ni and Cu ions using a simple organic Schiff base ligand L in methanol-Tris-HCl buffer (1 : 1 v/v, 10 mM, pH = 7.2).

The methodology for determination of Fe is based on the change in signal intensity of AgNPs/CTAB fabricated on a paper substrate after the deposition of analyte, using a smartphone followed by processing with ImageJ software. The mechanism of sensing for detection and determination of Fe is based on the discoloration of AgNPs which impregnated the paper substrate.

In all cases only mononuclear manganese complexes (1-4) were obtained, with manganese coordination taking place at the N2O2 binding site only, irrespective of the amount of manganese salt used. All these complexes have been characterized by routine physico-chemical techniques.

Complexes 1, 2, and 3 possess an S = (1)/(2) ground state (low-spin ferric d(5)). These salts were characterized by X-ray crystallography, UV-vis, Mössbauer, and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopies.
