Anthraquinone appended chemosensors for fluorescence monitoring of anions and/or metal ions

Bacterial nanocellulose and CdTe quantum dots: assembled nanopaper for heavy metal detection in aqueous solution

“…To this end, we identified the appropriate QDs concentration necessary to achieve adequate fluorescence emission for subsequent analyses. 45,46 The sensor specimen was made using an array of BNC wet weights to produce the nanopaper.…”

A Comparative Study of New Fluorescent Anthraquinone and Benzanthrone α-Aminophosphonates: Synthesis, Spectroscopy, Toxicology, X-ray Crystallography, and Microscopy of Opisthorchis felineus

“…While both anthraquinone and benzanthrone derivatives have held a crucial position in advancing the dye industry and are typically employed in vat dyeing techniques [ 4 , 5 ], various other applications have arisen. For anthraquinones, these include: serving as emitters in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) [ 6 , 7 ], detecting ionic species in chemosensory processes [ 8 , 9 ], contributing to cellular imaging [ 10 , 11 ], and finding utility in the medical field as agents with fungicidal, antibacterial, insecticidal, antiparasitic, antiviral, and anticancer properties [ 12 ]. On the other hand, benzanthrones are suited for diverse uses: in liquid crystal displays [ 13 , 14 ], polymeric materials [ 15 ], as probes for the pH of solutions and cations [ 16 , 17 ], selective detectors of amyloid fibrils of the lysozyme enzyme [ 18 ], and visualization of parasitic trematodes and nematodes through confocal laser scanning microscopy imaging [ 19 ].…”

KuQuinones: a ten years tale of the new pentacyclic quinoid compound

“… 20 Anthraquinone derivatives have been employed in photocatalysis to achieve challenging synthetic organic transformations 21 and in sensing applications, to detect anions and metal cations. 22 Therefore, it is evident from the literature the vivid and current interest in quinones chemistry as valid fascinating scaffolds.…”
