The number of "turn-on" fluorescent probes for Cu is relatively limited, and interference from other metal cations presents a significant challenge for these sensors. In this study, we synthesized and characterized a rhodamine B-based sensor, designated as RBHP, using 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-benzoyl-5-pyrazolone (PMBP) and rhodamine B hydrazide. Selectivity, sensitivity, solvent effects, water content, and pH of RBHP in relation to Cu²⁺ were conducted. RBHP exhibited an exceptionally low fluorescence background signal in acetonitrile and demonstrated a "turn-on" fluorescent response to Cu²⁺. The PMBP-based acylhydrazone moiety and acetonitrile as the detection solvent are crucial for the selective detection. RBHP shows potential as a highly selective and sensitive fluorescent sensor for Cu.

Sialyltransferases (ST) are key enzymes found in, among others, mammals and bacteria that are responsible for producing sialylated glycans, which play critical roles in human health and disease. However, chemical tools to study sialyltransferases have been limited to non-covalent inhibitors and probes that do not allow isolation and profiling of these important enzymes. Here we report a new class of covalent affinity-based probes (AfBP) for ST by using ligand-directed chemistry (LDchem).

By a simple condensation reaction, the receptor with anthraquinone moiety was synthesized and its sensing properties were explored in the anion sensing studies via colorimetric, UV-vis studies, fluorescence studies, and DFT calculations. The synthesized receptor senses both acetate and hypochlorite ions in DMSO medium. By the addition of all anions into the receptor the colour change was observed from pink to light purple colour for acetate ion and pink to light blue for hypochlorite ion.

A new rhodamine based turn on florescent probe ()-3',6'-bis(ethylamino)-2-(((6-methoxy-2-oxo-1,2-dihydroquinolin-3-yl)methylene)amino)-2',7'-dimethylspiro[isoindoline-1,9'-xanthen]-3-one (RME) was efficiently synthesized through a simple condensation reaction of 2-amino-3',6'-bis(ethylamino)-2',7'-dimethylspiro[isoindoline-1,9'-xanthen]-3-one and 6-methoxy-2-oxo-1,2-dihydroquinoline-3-carbaldehyde. The receptor RME is highly non-fluorescent and when copper ions (Cu ions) are added in DMF/water (1 : 2, v/v) medium, the receptor RME exhibits a specific "turn-on" colorimetric and fluorometric response. Moreover, RME binding with Cu ions produced a remarkable color variation that was perceptible to the human eye, changing from colorless to pink.

Anions play a crucial role in various environmental, chemical, and biological processes. Among various anions, the production of perchlorate (ClO ) ion is expected to rise in upcoming years, and thus, an efficient method for the detection of perchlorate ion is highly desirable. In this effort, a pyridyl-benzimidazole-based luminescent probe (RSB1) containing two N-H donor sites has been synthesized for selective detection of perchlorate ion.

Sensing of amino acid serves as the frontier research area for early diagnosis and monitoring various diseases. Among various amino acids, the sensing of L-Cysteine is much important for detection of human diseases like neurotoxic effect and coronary heart disease which arises due to excess of L-Cysteine. To address this, we propose a very simple method of L-Cys sensing via fluorescence "TURN ON" mechanism involving silver centred Rhodamine B nanogranules (AgNPs/RhB) stabilized via electrostatic interaction.
