A novel fluorescent probe possessing anthracene with an indole unit was designed and synthesized to detect chromium(III) ions (Cr) with high sensitivity and selectivity. The probe was synthesized in one step by mixing two commercially available chemicals, 2-aminoanthracene and Indole-5-carboxaldehyde. The probe molecule (ANT-In) demonstrates distinct properties, for instance, "turn-on" fluorescence response, high sensitivity and selectivity in less than one minute, and low detection limit (0.2 µM) via hydrolysis of the C = N bond. Additionally, the probe ANT-In was successfully used to identify the presence of chromium(III) ions in real water samples.

The interest in chromium(III) complexes has been renewed over the past decade for the design of efficient earth-abundant phosphorescent red-to-near-infrared spin-flip emitters and photocatalysts with long excited state lifetimes. In this context, we report the energy tuning of spin-flip excited states based on heteroleptic bis(tridentate) polypyridine chromium(III) complexes , namely, , and with the tridentate ligands L and L [X/Y = NMe, ,'-dimethyl-,'-dipyridin-2-ylpyridine-2,6-diamine; X/Y = CH, 2,6-bis(2-pyridylmethyl)pyridine and X/Y = S, 2,6-bis(pyridine-2-ylthio)pyridine]. The heteroleptic complexes are obtained via a novel synthetic approach toward the required intermediate labile triflato complexes Cr(L)(OTf) () from the respective chlorido precursors CrCl(L) () using trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the regulatory effects of exogenous hydrogen sulfide (HS) on seed germination, seedling growth, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) homeostasis in alfalfa under chromium (Cr) ion (III) stress.
Methods: The effects of 0-4 mM Cr(III) on the germination and seedling growth of alfalfa were first assessed. Subsequently, following seed NaHS immersion, the influence of HS on alfalfa seed germination and seedling growth under 2 mM Cr(III) stress was investigated, and the substance contents and enzyme activities associated with ROS metabolism were quantified.

The synthesis of a homochiral building block based on L-tartrate-chromium(III) complex anions is reported. The dinuclear complex anion, which contains two bridging L-tartrate ligands and one aromatic N-donor ligand coordinated to chromium(III) ions, exhibits a boat conformation in which intramolecular resonance-assisted hydrogen bonding is present. The sodium L-tartrate-chromium(III) compound with the formula Na[Cr(bpy)(L-tart)H]·9HO (1) crystallizes from a methanol-water solution as a high water content material in the monoclinic space group 2.

Graphene oxide and its magnetic nanoparticle-based composites are a well-known tool to remove heavy metals from wastewater. Unfortunately, one of the major issues in handling such small particles consists of their difficult removal from treated wastewater (even when their magnetic properties are exploited), due to their very small diameter. One possible way to overcome this problem is to embed them in a macroscopic biopolymer matrix, such as alginate or chitosan beads.

There has been much progress on mononuclear chromium(III) complexes featuring luminescence and photoredox activity, but dinuclear chromium(III) complexes have remained underexplored in these contexts until now. We identified a tridentate chelate ligand able to accommodate both meridional and facial coordination of chromium(III), to either access a mono- or a dinuclear chromium(III) complex depending on reaction conditions. This chelate ligand causes tetragonally distorted primary coordination spheres around chromium(III) in both complexes, entailing comparatively short excited-state lifetimes in the range of 400 to 800 ns in solution at room temperature and making photoluminescence essentially oxygen insensitive.
