Published: March 2013

A dual-channel electrospray microchip has been developed for electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) where aqueous samples are mixed at the Taylor cone with an organic buffer. Due to the fast and effective mixing in the Taylor cone, the aqueous sample can be well ionized with a high ion intensity. The influence of geometric parameters such as the distance between the two microchannels at their junction at the tip of the emitter has been investigated together with chemical parameters such as the organic buffer composition.

A molecule, namely 2-(1-benzo[]imidazol-2-yl)-6-(benzo[]thiazol-2-yl)-4-bromophenol (), having a two-way proton transfer unit of thiazole and imidazole moieties was synthesized and characterized by NMR, electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS), and single-crystal diffraction studies. Steady state and time-resolved spectral studies of support excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT), causing imine-amine tautomerization through a two-way 6-membered H-bonded ring, where the N atoms of benzothiazole and the benzoimidazole unit are involved as proton acceptor sites. Interestingly, in a nonpolar and moderately polar solvent, photoisomerization in is found to be favored toward the thiazole ring, whereas in a highly polar solvent, it is favored toward the imidazole ring.

The symmetrically double-armed salamo type fluorescent sensor BMS, incorporating benzimidazole units, was designed and synthesized. Showcasing remarkable specificity and responsiveness to MnO within a DMSO:HO (V/V = 9:1, pH = 7.2) Tris-HCl buffer medium, it enabled dual-channel detection of MnO through fluorescent and colorimetric changes.

A fast and sensitive method was validated for the analysis of pesticide residues in baby food. After an QuEChERS-based extraction, the samples were analysed with a dual-channel liquid chromatography instrument coupled to a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer. The method consisted of two independent injections per sample.

A novel probe, 3-benzyl-2-(N-ethylcarbazole-3-vinyl)-benzothiazolium bromide (L), was synthesized and utilized for the specific detection of cyanide ions in neutral aqueous solution (HEPES buffer, pH 7.4). This probe displays a fast response through visible colorimetric and fluorogenic changes toward CN-, allowing for ratiometric sensing of cyanide in aqueous media.
