Fluorogenic ratiometric dipodal optode containing imine-amide linkages: Exploiting subtle thorium (IV) ion sensing

The (13E,19E)-N1′,N3′-bis[4-(diethylamino)-2-hydroxybenzylidene]malonohydrazide (L) has been developed for the detection of Th⁴⁺ ions using dual channel signalling system. The UV–vis absorbance and fluorescence spectroscopic data revealed the formation of L–Th⁴⁺ complex in 1:1 equilibrium. The density functional theory (DFT) also confirms the optimum binding cavity for the recognition of metal ion. The binding constant computed from different mathematical models for an assembly of L–Th⁴⁺. The detection limit of L for Th⁴⁺ recognition is to a concentration down to 0.1 μM (0.023 μg g⁻¹). The present sensing system is also successfully applied for the detection of Th⁴⁺ ion present in soil near nuclear atomic plants.     

Coordination polymers of CdII and PbII derived from bipyridine–glycoluril: influence of metal‐ion size and counter‐ions

Two new one‐dimensional (1D) coordination polymers (CPs), namely catena‐poly[[[aquacadmium(II)]‐bis(μ‐4b,5,7,7a‐tetrahydro‐4b,7a‐epiminomethanoimino‐6H‐imidazo[4,5‐f][1,10]phenanthroline‐6,13‐dione)] bis(perchlorate) dihydrate], {[Cd(C₁₄H₁₀N₆O₂)₂(H₂O)](ClO₄)₂·2H₂O}_n or {[Cd(BPG)₂(H₂O)](ClO₄)₂·2H₂O}_n, 1 , and catena‐poly[[lead(II)‐bis(μ‐4b,5,7,7a‐tetrahydro‐4b,7a‐epiminomethanoimino‐6H‐imidazo[4,5‐f][1,10]phenanthroline‐6,13‐dione)] bis(perchlorate) dihydrate], {[Pb(C₁₄H₁₀N₆O₂)₂](ClO₄)₂·2H₂O}_n or {[Pb(BPG)₂](ClO₄)₂·2H₂O}_n, 2 , have been synthesized using bipyridine–glycoluril (BPG; systematic name: 4b,5,7,7a‐tetrahydro‐4b,7a‐epiminomethanoimino‐6H‐imidazo[4,5‐f][1,10]phenanthroline‐6,13‐dione), a urea‐fused tecton, in a mixed‐solvent system. The Cd^II ion in 1 is heptacoordinated and the Pb^II ion in 2 is hexacoordinated, with the Cd^II ion adopting a pentagonal bipyramidal geometry and the Pb^II ion adopting a distorted octahedral geometry. Both CPs form infinite linear chain structures which are hydrogen bonded to each other leading to the formation of three‐dimensional supramolecular network structures. Topological analysis of CPs 1 and 2 reveals that the structures exhibit 1D chain‐like arrangements in an AB–AB sequence and shows platonic uniform 2‐connected uninodal topologies. Furthermore, a comparative analysis of a series of structures based on the BPG ligand indicates that the size of the metal ion and the types of counter‐ions used have a great influence on the resulting frameworks and properties.

Intermolecular interactions in dioxane-water solutions of substituted coumarins according to ultrasonic data

Density, ultrasonic velocity of pure dioxane (Dx) and ligands, 4,6-dimethyl-7-hydroxycoumarin (L₁), 6-ethyl-7-hydroxy-4-methylcoumarin (L₂), and 3-chloro-7-hydroxy-4-methylcoumarin (L₃) in different percent of Dx-water mixture have been investigated at 303.15 K. Acoustical parameters such as adiabatic compressibility (β), intermolecular free length (L _f ), acoustical impedance (Z), relative association (R _A ), apparent molar compressibility (Φ_β), and apparent molar volume (Φ _V ) have also been evaluated from the experimental data of density and ultrasonic velocity. An excellent correlation between a given parameters is observed at all percent of dioxane-water and the result suggests nature of intermolecular interactions between the components.     

Sequential determination of fat- and water-soluble vitamins in Rhodiola imbricata root from trans-Himalaya with rapid resolution liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry

A rapid method was developed to determine both types of vitamins in Rhodiola imbricata root for the accurate quantification of free vitamin forms. Rapid resolution liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (RRLC–MS/MS) with electrospray ionization (ESI) source operating in multiple reactions monitoring (MRM) mode was optimized for the sequential analysis of nine water-soluble vitamins (B₁, B₂, two B₃ vitamins, B₅, B₆, B₇, B₉, and B₁₂) and six fat-soluble vitamins (A, E, D₂, D₃, K₁, and K₂). Both types of vitamins were separated by ion-suppression reversed-phase liquid chromatography with gradient elution within 30 min and detected in positive ion mode. Deviations in the intra- and inter-day precision were always below 0.6% and 0.3% for recoveries and retention time. Intra- and inter-day relative standard deviation (RSD) values of retention time for water- and fat-soluble vitamin were ranged between 0.02–0.20% and 0.01–0.15%, respectively. The mean recoveries were ranged between 88.95 and 107.07%. Sensitivity and specificity of this method allowed the limits of detection (LOD) and limits of quantitation (LOQ) of the analytes at ppb levels. The linear range was achieved for fat- and water-soluble vitamins at 100–1000 ppb and 10–100 ppb. Vitamin B-complex and vitamin E were detected as the principle vitamins in the root of this adaptogen which would be of great interest to develop novel foods from the Indian trans-Himalaya.     

Fluorescent and Chromogenic Receptor Bearing Amine and Hydroxyl Functionality for Iron (III) Detection in Aqueous Solution

The noncyclic 2,2′-[ethane-1,2-diylbis (iminomethanediyl)]diphenol (4) fluorescent receptor bearing two amine and hydroxyl groups have been designed and investigated for their binding properties towards various cations. The fluorescent spectral measurements revealed that receptor 4 is a selective fluorescent sensor for Fe³⁺ ions but not for metal ions such as Cr³⁺, Mn²⁺, Co²⁺, Ni²⁺, Cu²⁺, Zn²⁺, Cd²⁺, Hg²⁺, Pb²⁺ and Bi³⁺. The binding ability was confirmed with spectroscopic methods and density functional theory calculation (DFT). This straightforward and cost effective receptor provides rapid detection of Fe³⁺ ions at concentrations as low as 2.5 μM and expected to be useful to design efficient chemically and biological sensor.     

Novel Thiazole Based Styryl Dyes with Benzimidazole Unit - Synthesis,Photophysical and TD-DFT Studies

Three new Y-shaped styryl dyes were designed and synthesized from thiazole carbaldehyde with different active methylene compounds as acceptor moieties. All the dyes were characterized by IR, ¹HNMR, MS/LCMS/HRMS. Spectroscopic properties and non-linear optical properties styryl derivatives were analyzed and the effect of change in solvent polarity on their absorption and emissive properties has been investigated. The dye with (1-phenylethylidene) propanedinitrile unit shows red shift absorption/emission profile among all the dyes. Density Functional Theory and Time Dependent-Density Functional Theory computations have been used for comparative study with the experimental data and also to understand the structural, molecular, electronic and photophysical parameters of the styryl dyes. The computational method was also employed to investigate the nonlinear optical properties of the styryl dyes in different organic solvent. The unsubstituted benzimidazolyl thiazole styryl dyes possess good non-linear optical properties.

A new lawsone azo-dye for optical sensing of Fe3+ and Cu2+ and their DFT study

A new lawsone-based azo-dye 2-hydroxy-3-((pyridin-2-ylmethyl)diazenyl)naphthalene-1,4-dione (1) was synthesized and applied for sensing of metal ions. Receptor 1 showed selective fluorescent and colorimetric response for the detection of Cu²⁺ and Fe³⁺ over other tested metal ions. The fluorescence intensity of 1 was significantly quenched allowing detection of Fe³⁺ and Cu²⁺ down to 0.61 and 6.06 μM, respectively. The binding has been established by fluorescence spectroscopic method. Receptor 1 provided a 1?:?1 binding scaffold for recognition of Fe³⁺ and Cu²⁺ ions with the association constant of 3.33 × 10⁶ and 3.33 × 10⁵ M^?1, respectively. The B3LYP/6-31G/LANL2DZ method was employed for the optimization of 1 and 1·Fe³⁺ and 1·Cu²⁺.
