Exposure to mercury ions can damage the human brain, the nervous system, the endocrine
system, and other biological systems. Much effort has therefore been made to develop real …

Adverse influences of mercury on living organisms are well known. Despite efforts from
various regulatory agencies, the build-up of Hg2+ concentration in the environment is of …

We have developed novel aldazine-based colorimetric chemosensors for Cu2+ and Fe3+.
The aldazine ligands were synthesized by simple condensation of 4-diethylamino …

Newly synthesized rhodamine derivatives, L 1 and L 2, are found to bind specifically to Hg2+
or Cr3+ in presence of large excess of other competing ions with associated changes in their …

A microwave-assisted strategy for synthesizing dihydrolipoic acid (DHLA) capped
fluorescent gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) has been developed. Irradiation with microwaves …

A fluorescent peptidyl chemosensor for the detection of heavy metal ions in aqueous
solution as well as in cells was synthesized on the basis of the peptide receptor for the metal …

A fluorescent turn-on probe for Cys/Hcy based on inhibiting the C N isomerization
quenching process by an intramolecular hydrogen bond was reported. The probe exhibited …

Azines are organic molecules which bear the CN–NC functional unit. In the recent past,
azines have received increased attention due to the recognition of their biological, chemical …

A new rhodamine-based receptor, derivatized with an additional fluorophore (quinoline),
was synthesized for selective recognition of Hg2+ and Cr3+ in an acetonitrile/HEPES buffer …

AC 3-symmetric Schiff-base example of the new simple, low cost, highly water soluble, and
sensitive turn-on fluorescent Zn2+ chemosensor is described. The sensor was successfully …
