A novel triphenylamine (TPA) based sensor TTU was rationally designed and synthesized that exhibited reversible mechanochromic and aggregation induced emission enhancement (AIEE) properties. The AIEE active sensor was employed for fluorometric detection of Fe in aqueous medium, with distinguished selectivity. The sensor showed a highly selective quenching response towards Fe that is ascribed to complex formation with paramagnetic Fe. Subsequently, TTU-Fe complex acted as a fluorescence sensor for the detection of deferasirox (DFX). The subsequent addition of DFX to TTU-Fe complex led to the recovery of fluorescence emission intensity of sensor TTU that was attributed to the displacement of Fe by DFX and release of sensor TTU. The proposed sensing mechanisms for Fe and DFX was confirmed through H NMR titration experiment and DFT calculations. Frontier molecular orbitals (FMO), density of states (DOS), natural bond orbital (NBO), non-covalent interaction (NCI) and electron density difference (EDD) analysis were performed using DFT calculations to support the experimental results. Moreover, sensor TTU displayed colorimetric detection of Fe. Further, the sensor was employed for the detection of Fe and DFX in real water samples. Finally, logic gate was fabricated by using sequential detection strategy.

In recent years, smartphones have been integrated into rapid colorimetric sensors for heavy metal ions, but challenges persist in accuracy and efficiency. Our study introduces a novel approach to utilize biogenic gold nanoparticle (AuNP) sensors in conjunction with designing a lightbox with a color reference and machine learning for detection of Fe ions in water. AuNPs were synthesized using the aqueous extract of leaf as reductants and stabilizing agents.

With the ever-increasing threat of improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and homemade explosives (HME) both domestically and abroad, detection of explosives and explosive related materials is an area of urgent importance for preventing terrorist activities around the globe. Canines are a common biological detector used in explosive detection due to their enhanced olfactory abilities, high mobility, efficient standoff sampling, and optimal identification of vapor sources. While other sensors based on different principles have emerged, an important concept for the rapid field detection of explosives is understanding key volatile organic compounds (VOCs) associated with these materials.
