Carbazole-Based Colorimetric Anion Sensors.

ABSTRACT: Owing to their strong carbazole chromophore and fluorophore, as well as to their powerful and convergent hydrogen bond donors, 1,8-diaminocarbazoles are amongst the most attractive and synthetically versatile building blocks for the construction of anion receptors, sensors, and transporters. Aiming to develop carbazole-based colorimetric anion sensors, herein we describe the synthesis of 1,8-diaminocarbazoles substituted with strongly electron-withdrawing substituents, i.e., 3,6-dicyano and 3,6-dinitro. Both of these precursors were subsequently converted into model diamide receptors. Anion binding studies revealed that the new receptors exhibited significantly enhanced anion affinities, but also significantly increased acidities. We also found that rear substitution of 1,8-diamidocarbazole with two nitro groups shifted its absorption spectrum into the visible region and converted the receptor into a colorimetric anion sensor. The new sensor displayed vivid color and fluorescence changes upon addition of basic anions in wet dimethyl sulfoxide, but it was poorly selective; because of its enhanced acidity, the dominant receptor-anion interaction for most anions was proton transfer and, accordingly, similar changes in color were observed for all basic anions. The highly acidic and strongly binding receptors developed in this study may be applicable in organocatalysis or in pH-switchable anion transport through lipophilic membranes.

Efficient Colorimetric Fluoride Anion Sensor Based on π-Conjugated Carbazole Small Molecule.

Project description:The ability to detect fluoride anions with high selectivity and sensitivity by using the naked eye is crucial yet challenging. In this study, a novel, simple conjugated organic dye, N-tert-butyldimethylsilyl-3,6-diiodocarbazole (CA-TBMDS) was developed and used for the first time as a colorimetric sensor for fluoride. CA-TBMDS was found to be a highly sensitive fluoride chemosensor, with a detection limit as low as 3 × 10-5 M. The reaction of CA-TBMDS with fluoride anions in a tetrahydrofuran solution resulted in a color change from colorless to yellow under ambient light, which can be discriminated by the naked eye. The sensor operated via intermolecular proton transfer between the amide units and the fluoride anion, as confirmed by proton nuclear magnetic resonance titration. CA-TBMDS is not only highly sensitive to fluoride anions, but also exhibits high sensitivity in the presence of various ions. This work demonstrates that N-butyldimethylchlorosilane-based organic dyes have prospective utility as a type of fluoride anion chemosensor.

Design, synthesis and application of carbazole macrocycles in anion sensors.

Project description:Carboxylate sensing solid-contact ion-selective electrodes (ISEs) were created to provide a proof-of-concept ISE development process covering all aspects from in silico ionophore design to functional sensor characterization. The biscarbazolylurea moiety was used to synthesize methylene-bridged macrocycles of different ring size aiming to fine tune selectivity towards different carboxylates. Cyclization was achieved with two separate strategies, using either amide synthesis to access up to -[CH2]10- macrocycles or acyl halides to access up to -[CH2]14- macrocycles. Seventy-five receptor-anion complexes were modelled and studied with COSMO-RS, in addition to all free host molecules. In order to predict initial selectivity towards carboxylates, 1H NMR relative titrations were used to quantify binding in DMSO-d 6/H2O solvent systems of two proportions - 99.5%:0.5% m/m and 90.0%:10.0% m/m, suggesting initial selectivity towards acetate. Three ionophores were selected for successful sensor prototype development and characterization. The constructed ion-selective electrodes showed higher selectivity towards benzoate than acetate, i.e., the selectivity patterns of the final sensors deviated from that predicted by the classic titration experiments. While the binding constants obtained by NMR titration in DMSO-d 6/H2O solvent systems provided important guidance for sensor development, the results obtained in this work emphasize the importance of evaluating the binding behavior of receptors in real sensor membranes.

Gradient-Based Colorimetric Sensors for Continuous Gas Monitoring.

Project description:Colorimetry detects a color change resulted from a chemical reaction or molecular binding. Despite its widespread use in sensing, continuous monitoring of analytes with colorimetry is difficult, especially when the color-producing reaction or binding is irreversible. Here, we report on a gradient-based colorimetric sensor (GCS) to overcome this limitation. Lateral transport of analytes across a colorimetric sensor surface creates a color gradient that shifts along the transport direction over time, and GCS tracks the gradient shift and converts it into analyte concentration in real time. Using a low cost complementary metal-oxide semiconductor imager and imaging processing algorithm, we show submicrometer gradient shift tracking precision and continuous monitoring of ppb-level ozone.

Gold nanoparticle-based colorimetric and electrochemical sensors for the detection of illegal food additives.

Project description:Lately, scandals associated with the illegal addition of poisonous chemicals to food for commercial interests have been gradually disclosed to the public. Problems related to food safety do not only harm public health but also affect the stability of economic and social development. Food safety has become a common issue in society, and strengthening the related regulations have become increasingly important. Although conventional techniques are accurate and sensitive in the detection of the vast majority of illegal food additives, they rely on time-consuming, labor-intensive procedures that depend on expensive instruments. Thus, efficient and rapid identification of poisonous, illegal additives in food is a crucial task in analytical chemistry. Recently, in this context, gold nanoparticles (GNPs) have attracted considerable attention because of their optical, electronic, catalytic, and chemical properties. Their excellent properties have facilitated the widespread use of GNPs in different sensors. This review covers the two most common GNP-based sensors with colorimetric and electrochemical responses, which have proven to be effective in the detection of illegal additives. The GNP-based sensors comply with the requirement of modern analysis, such as high selectivity, sensitivity, simplicity, rapidity, and portability. Thus, they have great potential as powerful sensing tools for food safety screening. This review elucidates the utility and advances of GNP-based colorimetric and electrochemical sensors for the detection of illegal additives in the food industry and in the supervision of food quality and safety. Additionally, an outlook of the trends and future development of research on these sensors is provided.

Efficient Colorimetric Fluoride Anion Chemosensors With Varied Colors Based on Simple Aminobenzodifuranone Organic ?-Conjugated Dyes.

Project description:High selectivity and sensitivity detection of fluoride anions (F-) in an organic solution by the naked eye has always been a challenge. In this investigation, a simple compound based on aminobenzodifuranone (ABDF) was designed and synthesized. Deprotonation of the amino moiety caused by F- is responsible for a color change from dark blue to various colors (colorless, yellow, orange, and red) in different common organic solvents due to a blue shift over 200 nm in the UV/Vis spectrum. The color change is quite visible to the naked eye under ambient light. The detection limit for F- can reach a concentration of as low as 5.0 × 10-7 M with high selectivity, even in a solution containing multiple anions.

A novel carbazole-based fluorometric and colorimetric sensor for the highly sensitive and specific detection of Cu2+ in aqueous solution.

Project description:Based on the typical Suzuki coupling reaction and Schiff base reaction, a novel fluorescent molecular PCBW is synthesized and applied as a fluorescence and colorimetric sensor to detect Cu2+ in aqueous solution. The PCBW sensor presents the aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) effect and at 1 × 10-5 mol L-1 it emits the strongest turquoise fluorescence in the DMSO-H2O system (fw = 40%). The sensor exhibits a 'turn-off' fluorescent characteristic by adding Cu2+, and its fluorescent intensity shows a reliable linear relationship with the Cu2+ concentration in the range of 0-6 × 10-6 mol L-1, with a detection limit of 1.19 × 10-8 mol L-1. Meanwhile, the PCBW sensor also exhibits the colorimetric sensing from colorless to light yellow. The sensor has good selectivity and anti-interference and its pH application range can be extended from 5 to 10. The intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) is speculated as the main fluorescence mechanism of PCBW. In addition, the sensor presents good reusability and is practicable to detect Cu2+ in diverse aqueous samples.

Cloth-based microfluidic devices integrated onto the patch as wearable colorimetric sensors for simultaneous sweat analysis

Project description:Introduction: In this work, a flexible, and wearable point-of-care (POC) device integrated on a pain relief patch as wearable colorimetric sensors have been developed for sweat analysis, such as lactic acid, sodium ions, and pH simultaneously. Herein, the patch has still functioned as pain relief, while it allows for sweat monitoring during exercise, and in daily activities. Methods: It was constructed on cotton cloth using wax printing technology (batik stamp) as cloth-based microfluidic devices (CMDs). Here, it uses micro volumes of samples to perform the reaction in the sensing zones, where the sensitive reagents are immobilized so that it can collect and analyze the sweat (lactic acid, sodium ions, and pH) as the model for sweat analytes. The colorimetric analysis was conducted via a smartphone camera by using a free app (Color Grab) for a color image analysis that uses for quantitative analysis or naked eye for semi-qualitative analysis. Results: The ∆RGB value of the CMDS shows the excellent linear correlation vs analytes concentration, where the coefficient of correlations was found for lactic acid (R2 = 0.994), sodium ion (R2 = 0.998), and pH (R2 = 0.994). The ∆RGB value shows the appropriate color value for the linear correlation of the analyte target concentrations in the sweat samples. Here, the limit of detection (LOD) was found at 45.73 µg/mL for lactic acid and 56.46 µg/mL for sodium ions. The reproducibility was found at 0.79% and 0.89%, for lactic acid and sodium ions respectively. Conclusion: It was applied for sweat analysis during exercise, and the results show in agreement with the standard methods used in a clinical laboratory.

Diacetylene-Based Colorimetric Radiation Sensors for the Detection and Measurement of γ Radiation during Blood Irradiation.

Project description:Blood and its cellular components are irradiated by ionizing radiation before transfusion to prevent the proliferation of viable T lymphocytes which cause transfusion associated-graft versus host disease. The immunodeficient patients undergoing chemotherapy for various malignancies are at risk of this disease. The international guidelines for blood transfusion recommend a minimum radiation exposure of 25 Gray (Gy) to the midplane of the blood bag, while a minimum dose of 15 Gy and a maximum dose of 50 Gy should be given to each portion of the blood bag. Therefore, precise dosimetry of the blood irradiator is essential to ensure the adequate irradiation of the blood components. The paper presents the fabrication of diacetylene-based colorimetric film dosimeters for the verification of irradiated doses. The diacetylene analogues are synthesized by tailoring them with different amide-based headgroups followed by their coating to develop colorimetric film dosimeters. Among all the synthesized diacetylene analogues, aminofluorene-substituted diacetylene exhibits the most significant color transition from white to blue color at a minimum γ radiation dose of 5 Gy. The quantitative study of color change is performed by the digitization of the scanned images of film dosimeters. The digital image processing of the developed film dosimeters facilitates rapid dose measurement which enables their facile implementation and promising application in routine blood irradiator dosimetry.

Ionic Liquid-Modified Gold Nanoparticle-Based Colorimetric Sensor for Perchlorate Detection <i>via</i> Anion-π Interaction.

Project description:A rapid and convenient nanoparticle(NP)-based colorimetric sensor was developed for determining the propellant oxidant, ammonium perchlorate (AP). The sensing element was manufactured by modifying gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) with [(1-methyl-1H-imidazol-2-yl)sulfanyl]acetic acid, which is an imidazolium-based ionic liquid (IL), to produce the IL@AuNP nanosensor stabilized by polyvinylpyrrolidone. The used IL is an exceptional IL which can attach to AuNPs through the sulfanyl-S atom. The sensing principle was based on observing the red shift in the surface plasmon resonance band of AuNPs leading to NP aggregation as a result of anion-π interaction of perchlorate anion with the zwitterionic form of IL@AuNPs so as to bring opposite charges face-to-face, thereby reducing the overall surface charge of NPs. The surface plasmon resonance band of AuNPs at 540 nm shifted to 700 nm as a result of aggregation. The ratiometric sensing was performed by dividing the absorbance at 700 nm to the absorbance at 540 nm and correlating this ratio to the AP concentration. The limit of detection and limit of quantification of the sensor for AP were 1.50 and 4.95 μM, respectively. Possible interferences of other energetic substances and common soil ions in synthetic mixtures were also investigated to achieve acceptable recoveries of analyte. This work may pioneer similar sensing systems where the overall anionic charges of IL-functionalized AuNPs are exceptionally reduced by an analyte anion (perchlorate), thereby forcing NPs to aggregate.
