Here, we present a ditopic ion-pair sensor, B1, containing the BODIPY reporter unit in its structure, which is shown to be able-thanks to the presence of two heterogeneous binding domains-to interact with anions in an enhanced manner in the presence of cations. This enables it to interact with salts even in 99% aqueous solutions, making B1 a good candidate in terms of visual salt detection in the aquatic environment. Receptor B1's ability to extract and release salt was applied in the transport of potassium chloride through a bulk liquid membrane. Working with a concentration of B1 in the organic phase and with the presence of a specific salt in an aqueous solution, an inverted transport experiment was also demonstrated. By varying the type and the amount of the anions added to B1, we were able to develop diverse optical responses, including a unique four-step ON1-OFF-ON2-ON3 output.

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are highly stable ubiquitous contaminants that have been recently added to the list of regulated chemicals. While methods for PFAS detection exist, analysis is difficult, involving a tedious protocol and expensive instrumentation. Here, we demonstrate the first implementation of a phenoxazine dye as a sensing probe that facilitates rapid and inexpensive detection of representative PFAS, e.

In this study, a new potentiometric sensor was developed for the determination of the local anesthetic drug procaine in pharmaceutical samples. Procaine (Pr)-Tetraphenlyborate (TPB) ion-pair was synthesized and used as a sensor material. Potentiometric sensors using the synthesized ion pair (Pr-TPB), poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) and o-nitrophenyloctyl ether (o-NPOE) in different proportions were prepared and their performance properties were tested.

The current work suggests a new, ultrasensitive green functionalized sensor for the determination of anti-inflammatory medication diclofenac sodium (DCF). Alumina (AlO) and cerium oxide (CeO) nanoparticles (NPs) have attracted great interest for their use as outstanding and electroactive nanocomposite in potentiometric and sensory research due to their ultrafunctional potential. The formed nanoparticles have been confirmed using various spectroscopic and microscopic techniques.

Eletriptan (ETR), a selective pharmaceutical agent agonist of the 5-hydroxytryptamine1 receptor subtype, are primarily used to treat acute migraine attacks. ETR is a triptan-class medication that works by narrowing cerebral blood vessels and reducing chemicals that produce headache pain, light and sound sensitivity, and nausea. Due to its effectiveness in reducing migraine symptoms, it is a worthwhile choice for those looking for quick and efficient treatment.

Cerium (Ce) are the most widely distributed rare earth element. However, humans exposed to Ce through inhalation have been reported to experience heat sensitivity, itching, and heightened taste and odour perception. The present study aims to develop an optical sensor device with a short response time and high selectivity for Ce amongst other ions in various environments.
