Designing a Simple Quinoline-Based Chromo-Fluorogenic Receptor for Highly Specific Quantification of Copper (II) Ions: Environmental and Bioimaging Applications.

Many industries use copper metal ions (Cu ions), and their salts are utilized as supplemental materials in both agriculture and medicine. Identifying and monitoring these Cu ions in biological and environmental specimens is crucial due to their association with several health issues. In this investigation, we have designed a simple quinoline-based receptor (E)-3-(((2,4-di-tert-butyl-5-hydroxyphenyl)imino)methyl)-6-methoxyquinolin-2(1H)-one (QAP) containing imine functional groups to inspect its capability to identify metal ions in a semi-aqueous medium.

Luminescent Silver Nanoparticles Biosynthesis Using Couroupita guianensis Flower Extract: Antibacterial and Anticancer Potential.

Green synthesis of nanoparticles has become a significant area of research, driven by the demand for sustainable, economical, and environmentally friendly processes, particularly in biomedical applications. In this study, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were produced using 10 g of Couroupita guianensis flower extract through a straightforward and environmentally friendly method. The biosynthesized AgNPs were characterized using UV-Vis spectroscopy, XRD, FTIR, SEM, and EDS techniques, confirming their successful formation and structural properties.

Comparative analysis of the antimicrobial activity and dye degradation of metal oxides (TiO, CdO, MnO, and ZnO) nanoparticles using a green approach.

A tremendous amount of recent work has been done on different metal oxide nanomaterials for biological activities and photocatalytic dye degradation.
