Analyte-responsive chromo-fluorogenic reactions under accessible conditions are important for designing small-molecule spectroscopic probes. We describe a series of newly constructed motifs based on the chromo-fluorogenic reaction between catechol derivatives (typically hydroxytyrosol, dopamine, and levodopa) and naphthoresorcin (NR) in aqueous solution under ambient conditions. The weakly absorptive and fluorogenic catechols/NR was converted to products having visible absorption and bright fluorescence within several minutes. The chromo-fluorophores produced from this reaction had a maximum absorbance at 458 nm and emission at 480 nm with high fluorescence quantum yields (30-84%). Inspired by the tyrosinase-catalyzed hydroxylation of monophenols to catechols, the tyrosinase-enabled chromo-fluorogenic reaction was verified by using monophenol (typically tyrosol) as the substrate. In this regard, a dual-readout tyrosinase activity assay was developed by virtue of the in situ "turn-on" optical signals. Furthermore, a test of tyrosinase inhibition, by using a common inhibitor kojic acid, demonstrated the potential of the chromo-fluorogenic reaction for developing other tyrosinase related assays and signal transduction.

A simple, tailor-made, novel chemosensor based on 1,10-phenanthroline Schiff base incorporating N, N-Diethylamino salicylaldehyde (1) was designed and synthesized. The sensing ability of chemosensor 1 was tested via colorimetric, UV-Vis and fluorescence spectroscopy. Chemosensor 1 could effectively and specifically detect diethylchlorophosphate (DCP) in acetonitrile displaying naked eye colour change from pale yellow to dark yellow while fluorogenic colour changes from blue to pink fluorescence (365 nm UV lamp irradiation).

A simple chromo-fluorogenic chemodosimeter probe, α-benzithiazolyl 3-pyrrolyl BODIPY, was synthesized by reacting α-formyl 3-pyrrolyl BODIPY with 2-aminothiophenol in DMF at reflux under basic conditions. The probe was structurally characterized by X-ray, HR-MS, and 1D & 2D NMR techniques. The X-ray structure revealed that the appended pyrrole was almost in the plane with a small deviation of 12.

Lab-on-a-paper-based devices are promising alternatives to the existing arduous techniques for point-of-need monitoring. The present work reports an instant and facile method to produce a microfluidic paper-based analytical device (μPAD). The fabricated μPAD has been used to detect hypochlorite (OCl) by incorporating newly synthesized chromo-fluorogenic ratiometric probes 1 and 2 into the sample reception zone.

In real day scenario, it is an urge to provide a single solution of multiple problems. In this regard, herein rapid, selective and highly efficient chromo-fluorogenic detection of ammonia/aliphatic amines over aromatic amines has been investigated by means of a novel "opto-electronic nose", CN-2, synthesized in a single-step via multiple inter/intramolecular C-N fusion reactions. The in-situ generated mono-protonated CN-2 can selectively detect primary to secondary to even tertiary aliphatic amines over aromatic amines within ∼40 S with extremely low detection threshold values of 27.
