Nanoparticles Based Sensors for Cyanide Ion Sensing, Basic Principle, Mechanism and Applications.

Rapidly detecting potentially toxic ions such as cyanide is paramount to maintaining a sustainable and environmentally friendly ecosystem for living organisms. In recent years, molecular sensors have been developed to detect cyanide ions, which provide a naked-eye or fluorometric response, making them an ideal choice for cyanide sensing. Nanosensors, on the other hand, have become increasingly popular over the last two decades due water solubility, quick reaction times, environmental friendliness, and straightforward synthesis.

Single Organic Ligands Act as a Bifunctional Sensor for Subsequent Detection of Metal and Cyanide Ions, a Statistical Approach toward Coordination and Sensitivity.

The detection of key ions in environmental samples has garnered significant attention in recent years in the pursuit of a cleaner environment for living organisms. Bifunctional and multifunctional sensors, as opposed to single-species sensors, have emerged as a rapidly developing field. Many reports in the literature have documented the use of bifunctional sensors for the subsequent detection of metal and cyanide ions.

Ligand-Promoted [Pd]-Catalyzed α-Alkylation of Ketones through a Borrowing-Hydrogen Approach.

A new class of palladium complexes bearing bidentate 2-hydroxypyridine based ligands have been prepared and fully characterized. The applications of these new complexes towards ketone alkylation reactions with alcohols through a metal-ligand cooperative borrowing-hydrogen (BH) process were demonstrated.

Organic Molecules Containing N, S and O Heteroatoms as Sensors for the Detection of Hg(II) Ion; Coordination and Efficiency toward Detection.

Rapid detection of potentially toxic heavy metals like Hg(II) has attracted great attention in the last few decades due to the importance to maintain a safe and sustainable environment for human beings. Coordination chemistry and concepts therein, play an important role in the detection of Hg(II). Size, charge, and nature of the donor atom and the respective cation (metal ion), are crucial in selective interactions between the sensor and metal ions.

Recent Development in Coordination Compounds as a Sensor for Cyanide Ions in Biological and Environmental Segments.

Rapid detection of toxic ions has taken great attention in the last few decades due to its importance in maintaining a greener environment for human beings. The extreme toxicity of cyanide (CN) ions is a great environmental concern as its continued industrial use generates interest in facile and sensitive methods for CN ions detection. Since CN ions act as a ligand in coordination chemistry which rapidly coordinates with suitable metals and forms complexes, this ability was mainly explored in its detection.

Recent Progress in Nanoparticles Based Sensors for the Detection of Mercury (II) Ions in Environmental and Biological Samples.

To maintain a green and sustainable environment for human beings, rapid detection of potentially toxic heavy metals like mercury (Hg(II)) has attracted great attention. Recently, sensors have been designed which can selectively detect Hg(II) over other common available cations and give a naked eye or fluorometric response. In the last two decades, the trend is shifting from bulky organic chemosensors toward nanoparticles due to their rapid response, low cost, eco-friendly and easy synthesis.
