February 2024
Article Synopsis
- - A new sensor called TAD, based on deferasirox and a substituted triazole amine, has been developed to detect nitrobenzene specifically in various samples.
- - TAD shows a strong selective response to nitrobenzene compared to other nitroaromatic compounds, with the detection mechanism involving a photoinduced electron transfer (PET) process supported by various analytical methods like UV-visible spectroscopy and DFT analysis.
- - The research also included in-depth analyses using non-covalent interaction studies and energy decomposition to understand how TAD interacts with nitrobenzene, and the sensor was successfully tested in real-world applications.
Triazine based fluorescent sensor for sequential detection of Hg and L-Cysteine in real samples and application in logic Gate: A combination of Extensive experimental and theoretical analysis.
Spectrochim Acta A Mol Biomol Spectrosc
November 2023
Article Synopsis
- A new fluorescent sensor called TBT was developed to detect mercury (Hg) ions and L-cysteine (Cys) sequentially, leveraging its sulfur moiety and molecular structure for effective sensing.
- When Hg is added to TBT, its fluorescence intensity increases due to the blocking of charge transfer and enhanced fluorescence, allowing for selective detection of both Hg and Cys through different mechanisms.
- Advanced studies, including NMR and DFT analyses, confirmed the interactions between TBT, Hg, and Cys, while the sensor demonstrated a low detection limit of 61.9 nM for Hg, and was utilized for both qualitative and quantitative analysis in real samples, integrating a logic

November 2023
Article Synopsis
- * A new sensor, ECO, was designed to detect MFA using fluorescence spectroscopy, displaying a "turn-off" response based on a mechanism involving photoinduced electron transfer and hydrogen bonding.
- * The sensor's effectiveness was tested with human blood and urine samples, and its detection mechanism was supported by various analytical methods, including H NMR titration and density functional theory calculations.
Article Synopsis
- - A novel TPA-based sensor called TTU was designed to show mechanochromic and AIEE properties, allowing it to detect iron (Fe) in water with high specificity due to its ability to form a complex with paramagnetic Fe.
- - When deferasirox (DFX) is introduced to the TTU-Fe complex, the fluorescence of TTU is restored, indicating that DFX displaces Fe, which indicates a potential method for detecting DFX.
- - The mechanisms behind the interactions of TTU with Fe and DFX were validated through H NMR titration and DFT calculations, and TTU proved effective in real water sample tests, also contributing to the development of a logic gate for sequential
AIEE active J-aggregates of naphthalimide based fluorescent probe for detection of Nitrobenzene: Combined experimental and theoretical approaches for Non-covalent interaction analysis.
Spectrochim Acta A Mol Biomol Spectrosc
April 2023
Article Synopsis
- A new fluorescent probe called NS was developed using a simple chemical reaction, showcasing impressive aggregation-induced emission enhancement (AIEE) in water due to the formation of J-aggregates.
- This probe can selectively and sensitively detect nitrobenzene (NB) by observing changes in fluorescence, with the size of NB allowing easy access into the probe's structure.
- The study incorporated various analytical methods, including spectroscopy and theoretical calculations, to understand the interactions between the probe and NB, demonstrating the probe's effectiveness in both solid and vapor-phase detection of NB, even in low concentrations within real samples.
