A D-π-A Schiff-base compound, 2-amino-3({[4-(diethylamino)-2-hydroxylphenyl]methylene}amino)-but-2-enedinitrile (H2L), was prepared using diaminomaleonitrile and 4-(N,N-diethylamino)salicylaldehyde. Compared with H2L at 293 K, a low temperature of 100 K makes the parallel aromatics in H2L come closer and fluorescence emission becomes weaker because of π-π interaction-caused quenching. After grinding the crystals of H2L, the colour changed from dark brown-red to yellow under room light and the fluorescence emission enhanced about 9-fold due to the damage of the intermolecular hydrogen bonds, leading to a decrease of non-radiative transition. H2L showed aggregation-induced emission enhancement (AIEE) characteristics in THF/H2O, whose mechanism is attributed to the restriction of intramolecular rotation (RIR). The UV-Vis spectra of H2L with Cu2+ in THF/H2O showed that at first a CuL complex was formed and subsequently a CuL' complex (H2L' = N',N'-bis(4-N',N'-diethylsalicylidene) ethylenediamine) was obtained. The CuL complex turned into the CuL' complex as time prolonged. H2L acted as a dual channel chemosensor for Cu2+ ions in THF/HEPES (v/v: 2 : 8, pH = 8.0) and the CuL complex was stable in this medium. H2L is also a naked-eye probe for Mn2+ ions in CH3CN. The limits of detection are much lower than the allowable level of copper(ii) and manganese(ii) in drinking water set by the World Health Organization (WHO).

A novel Schiff base ligand (L), bearing NO donor sites, was derived from the condensation of 5-chloromethylisophthaldehyde and phenylpropanolamine (PPA). Mononuclear Co(II), Cu(II), and Zn(II) complexes were synthesized and were characterized by FTIR, UV-Vis, H NMR, ESI-mass spectroscopy, molar conductance, and thermal and electrochemical studies. The thermal investigation revealed that the complexes were stable up to 150-250 °C and began to degrade in stages, resulting in the development of respective metal oxides.

Oxidative stress, dysbiosis, and immune dysregulation have been confirmed to play pivotal roles in the complex pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Herein, we design copper ion-luteolin nanocomplexes (CuL NCs) through a metal-polyphenol coordination strategy, which plays a multifaceted role in the amelioration of IBD. The fabricated CuL NCs function as therapeutic agents with exceptional antioxidant and anti-inflammatory capabilities because of their great stability and capacity to scavenge reactive oxygen species (ROS).

Article Synopsis
- The study investigated how well synthetic organic copper complexes (Cu-L) and inorganic copper species (Cu') are absorbed by phytoplankton under different copper availability conditions.
- Copper bioavailability was influenced by the nutritional state of the phytoplankton and the ability of Cu' to diffuse to the cells, showing that Cu-L and Cu' both provide essential copper for growth when Cu' is above a certain threshold.
- The growth of copper-inhibited phytoplankton did not depend on Cu-L when high Cu' was present, indicating a negative correlation overall, while gene expression related to copper uptake was affected by the copper concentration.

A new inorganic-organic hybrid complex, namely [CuL(DMF)]·HO (Cu-L), has been synthesized using a sulfur-rich ligand, 3,3',3''-(1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-triyltrisulfanediyl)tripropanoic acid (HL) and metal cations under hydrothermal conditions. The metal atoms are interconnected to form a paddle-wheel-like structure, which is ultimately linked to the ligands to create a three-dimensional architecture. Cu-L, employed to fabricate an electrochemical sensor denoted as Cu-L@GCE (glassy carbon electrode), is capable of simultaneously detecting Cd and Pb at approximately -0.

Developing sensors with high sensitivity and selectivity for detecting neurotransmitters under near-physiological conditions is a major challenge and is crucial for preventing diseases of the nervous, cardiovascular, and endocrine systems. Most existing systems that meet these requirements involve either complicated synthesis processes, require sulfur groups, or are not functional under aqueous conditions. Herein, we report that the self-organisation of a simple imine ligand L with copper(II) tetrafluoroborate leads to the formation of a [CuL](BF) complex (CuL) with a 2 : 1 ligand-to-metal ratio, as confirmed by high-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (HR ESI-MS), Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray analysis.
