The application of quinolones stretches over a large umbrella of medicinal field as well as chemosensor due to the presence of privileged heterocyclic aromatic rig system. Salicyl and Naphthyl Hydrazide motifs are also established fluorophore groups. Therefore in this work, we have designed and synthesized Salicyl hydrazide (3a-c) and naphthyl hydrazide fused nitroquinolones (5a-c) investigated for their fluorescent behaviour.

Synthesized monomer and its three oligoesters were characterized by techniques such as H, C{H}, IR, UV, GPC and applied to chemosensor applications. A series of metal ions was studied with fluorophores to evaluate the sensitivity towards Cu ion.

This Schiff base chemosensor (SNN) detected dual ions, Al and Zn ions selectively. Fluorescence spectrum investigations showed that Al ions increased fluorescence intensity, notably at 493 nm. Introducing Zn ions caused a significant blue shift of roughly ∼65 nm at a wavelength of 434 nm, resulting in a notable change in fluorescence intensity.

Anthracene based chemosensor ABC has been synthesized and characterized through H, C NMR, mass spectral studies. UV absorption and emission studies performed to identify the sensing behavior of chemosensor ABC. The probe ABC, originally bright fluorescent, selectively sense Ag ion by the quenching the fluorescence intensity through a "Switch On-off" process and quench the fluorescence due to the heavy atom effect interaction with the free chemosensor.

Dimeric quinoline-based Schiff base was developed (DQS) for the specific detection of Pb ion via fluorimetry. DQS coordinates with Pb, a variation in fluorescence intensity with enhanced radical blue shift was observed due to the restriction of CN rotation, CN isomerization, and photoinduced electron transfer (PET) mechanisms. In addition, the intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) from electron-donating morpholine to phenylene diamine acceptor linked quinoline bridge is responsible for the blue-shifted fluorescence enhancement in the DQS-Pb complex.

In this work, graphene oxide-p-Phenylenediamine nanocomposites of two different ratios of Graphene oxide: p-Phenylenediamine (1:1 and 1:5) were prepared and characterized by using analytical, spectroscopic and microscopic studies (GO-pPD 11 and GO-pPD 15). These nanocomposites were employed as fluorescent chemosensors for sensing potential cations. Remarkably, graphene oxide-p-Phenylenediamine nanocomposites of ratio 1:1 (GO-pPD 15) was selective and sensitive to Ag ions, whereas the graphene oxide-p-Phenylenediamine nanocomposites of ratio 1:5 (GO-pPD 15) was selective to Ceions.

A simple rhodanine derived fluorophoric unit has been designed for selective detection of Ag and I ions in DMSO-HO medium. The sensor R1 showed an obvious "turn-on" fluorescence response toward Ag due to the inhibition of both C-N single bond free rotation, internal charge transfer (ICT) and the formation of chelation enhanced fluorescence (CHEF) effects. The fluorescence quantum yield (Φ) was increased from 0.

Quinoline and imidazole derivatives have been playing a significant role in functional bioactivities and were potentially used as antibacterial, antifungal, anticancer, and anti-inflammatory drugs. Owing to the limitation of drug resistance, herein we synthesized thio-, chloro-, and hydroxyl-functionalized various imidazoquinolines by molecular hybridization approach. All the imidazoquinoline derivatives were examined for their antibacterial activity against selected bacterial pathogens by the agar well diffusion method.

A simple hydroxyl-substituted triphenyl-imidazole based receptor (HTPI) which selectively detects Cu ion by colorimetric and fluorimetric methods was developed. HTPI detects the Cu ions with the absorption enhancement and fluorescence quenching by the possible ligand to metal charge transfer (LMCT) and the chelation-enhanced quenching (CHEQ) approaches, respectively. HTPI showed high selectivity and sensitivity for Cu ions detection over other interfering and competing metal ions.
