The impact of halogen substitution quantities on the fluorescence intensity ratio of lanthanide Schiff base complexes.

The signal intensity ratio (SIR) is a crucial factor in advancing probe technology due to its direct impact on sensitivity and precision, particularly in applications such as medical imaging, environmental monitoring, and food safety testing. However, the development of high-SIR probes is challenged by complexities in fabrication, cost, and mechanical stability. In this study, we address these limitations by investigating the role of halogen atom substitutions in modulating the intermolecular binding energy and aggregation behavior of Ce-Salen Schiff base complexes.

Unique hemispherical coordination-drivened pesticide residue probes: Enhanced stability in linear recognition for trifluralin.

Trifluralin (TRL) is an effective and persistent herbicide, but its extensive and prolonged use has increasingly posed ecological and environmental health risks, making the development of convenient and rapid TRL detection methods essential for environmental protection and food safety. In the present research, a novel fluorescent probe was designed and developed, Zn-χ-L, for the rapid and selective detection of TRL in complex environments. The sensor demonstrates excellent sensitivity and stability, while also exhibiting significant resistance to interference from other pesticides and metal ions.

Study on the modulating effect of halogen atom substitution on the detection range of water content detection probes in organic solvents.

Fluorescence probes based on the variations of aggregation state (Aggregation-Induced Emission (AIE) and Aggregation-Caused Quenching (ACQ)) have received widespread attention due to their simplicity, efficiency and intuitiveness. However, typical probes are highly sensitive to changes in polarity and slight variations in the external environment can cause a complete change in the aggregation state. With the aim of expanding the detection range of the molecular probe, this work adopts a different design strategy from adjusting the molecular backbone but regulates the fluorescence behavior of the Schiff base molecular backbone by introducing different halogen atoms.

Supramolecular Dimer as High-Performance pH Probe: Study on the Fluorescence Properties of Halogenated Ligands in Rigid Schiff Base Complex.

The development of high-performance fluorescence probes has been an active area of research. In the present work, two new pH sensors and based on a halogenated Schiff ligand ( = N, N'-(3,3'-dipropyhnethylamine) bis (3,5-chlorosalicylidene)) with linearity and a high signal-to-noise ratio were developed. Analyses revealed an exponential intensification in their fluorescence emission and a discernible chromatic shift upon pH increase from 5.

Rigid Schiff Base Complex Supermolecular Aggregates as a High-Performance pH Probe: Study on the Enhancement of the Aggregation-Caused Quenching (ACQ) Effect via the Substitution of Halogen Atoms.

Optical signals of pH probes mainly driven from the formation or rupture of covalent bonds, whereas the changes in covalent bonds usually require higher chemical driving forces, resulting in limited sensitivity and reversibility of the probes. The exploration of high-performance pH probes has been a subject of intense investigation. Herein, a new pH probe has been developed, with optical property investigation suggesting the probe has excellent signal-to-noise ratio, and fluorescence intensity shows exponential growth, combined with a visible color change, as pH increased from 5.
