A coordination driven ‘heat-set’ Zr-gel: efficient fluorophore probe for selective detection of Fe³⁺ and nitrofuran-based antibiotics and smart approach for UV protection

Abstract

Nature creates definite architecture with fluorescence capabilities and superior visual adaptation in many organisms e.g., cephalopods, which differentiated them from the surrounding in the context of colour and texture that...

An Encyclopedic Compendium on Chemosensing Supramolecular Metal‐Organic Gels

“…The study centered on developing a luminescent coordination polymer gel (CPG) designed for the selective sensing of Fe(III) along with nitrofuran-derived antibiotics (NFT) in aqueous environments. [218] Employing zirconium oxychloride octahydrate as the metal source and F21 as LMWG, the research aimed to exploit the photoluminescent properties resulting from the rigid structure induced by the tripodal carboxylic acid gelator within the CPG network. The xerogel material showcased a luminescent 'turnoff' response specifically to Fe(III) and NFT, demonstrating rapid detection and consistent quenching efficacy across multiple cycles.…”

Conjugated Polymer-Based Hydrogel Film for a Fast and Sensitive Detection of Fe(Ⅲ) in Vegetables

“…Researchers have devoted most efforts to the development of new materials for various targets. For detecting iron ions, some good film sensors have been reported, as listed in Table 1 [ 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 ]. Regardless of the sensors being solution sensors or film sensors, selectivity, sensitivity, and response time are three important parameters.…”

Triazine Core Anchored Lanthanide Driven Soft Gels: Photo Switching Emission, Robust Anticounterfeiting, and Smart Sensor Probe for Nitroexplosive/Nitrofuran Antibiotics

“…However, dispersing the solid particles (LnMOFs, lanthanide composite materials) in desired organic solvents for direct use in anticounterfeiting applications and optoelectronic device fabrications is fraught with constraints. Similar to LnMOFs, another class of hybrid soft materials, viz., coordination driven soft gel (CSGs), is gaining prominence due to tunable sol–gel transformability, which leads to the creation of potential kits for optoelectronic displays and devices. − To this end, Maji and co-workers demonstrated an effective strategy for generating white light mediated soft coordination driven gel by tuning a blue-emitting organic linker with green- and red-emitting Tb­(III) and Eu­(III) ions. Importantly, the gel character of the soft material imparts an edge over other reported materials for carrying and storing information via device fabrication. , It can be used as a secret ink to conceal information, which is useful for security entities.…”
