Spectroscopic and computational studies on the development of simple colorimetric and fluorescent sensors for bioactive anions

Cell permeable fluorescent colorimetric Schiff base chemoreceptor for detecting F− in aqueous solvent

“…In this regard it is needless to say that development of potential colorimetric fluorescent receptors has A c c e p t e d M a n u s c r i p t innate advantages over receptors which are non colorimetric or non fluorescent in nature [19][20][21][22].…”

AgNPs uniformly doped onto PVA microspheres for optical recognition application

“…Mechanism: The polyhydroxy surface possessed by AgNPs@PVA microspheres enhanced contact probability of AgNPs@PVA with mercury (II) ions. Subsequently, spectral data were used to calculate the binding constant between AgNPs@PVA and mercury (II) ions by applying Benesi-Hildebrand equation [14]:…”

Synthesis, spectral and quantum chemical studies and use of ( E )-3-[(3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenylimino)methyl]benzene-1,2-diol and its Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes as an anion sensor, DNA binding, DNA cleavage, anti-microbial, anti-mutagenic and anti-cancer agent

“…Undoubtedly, the colorimetric anion sensors are of more importance, because such materials are useful since they provide visual information more easily. Various studies have been carried out in order to develop these materials [13][14][15][16][17].…”
