A New Environmentally-Friendly Colorimetric Probe for Formaldehyde Gas Detection under Real Conditions.

ABSTRACT: A new environmentally-friendly, simple, selective and sensitive probe for detecting formaldehyde, based on naturally-occurring compounds, through either colorimetric or fluorescence changes, is described. The probe is able to detect formaldehyde in both solution and the gas phase with limits of detection of 0.24 mM and 0.7 ppm, respectively. The probe has been tested to study formaldehyde emission in contaminated real atmospheres. The supported probe is easy to use and to dispose, and is safe and suitable as an individual chemodosimeter.

Resorcinol Functionalized Gold Nanoparticles for Formaldehyde Colorimetric Detection.

Project description:Gold nanoparticles functionalized with resorcinol moieties have been prepared and used for detecting formaldehyde both in solution and gas phases. The detection mechanism is based on the color change of the probe upon the aggregation of the nanoparticles induced by the polymerization of the resorcinol moieties in the presence of formaldehyde. A limit of detection of 0.5 ppm in solution has been determined. The probe can be deployed for the detection of formaldehyde emissions from composite wood boards.

Colorimetric Visualization Using Polymeric Core-Shell Nanoparticles: Enhanced Sensitivity for Formaldehyde Gas Sensors.

Project description:Although equipment-based gas sensor systems (e.g., high-performance liquid chromatography) have been widely applied for formaldehyde gas detection, pre-treatment and expensive instrumentation are required. To overcome these disadvantages, we developed a colorimetric sensor based on polymer-based core-shell nanoparticles (PCSNPs), which are inexpensive, stable, and exhibit enhanced selectivity. Spherical and uniform poly(styrene-co-maleic anhydride) (PSMA)/polyethyleneimine (PEI) core-shell nanoparticles were prepared and then impregnated with Methyl Red (MR), Bromocresol Purple (BCP), or 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) to construct colorimetric sensors for formaldehyde gas. The intrinsic properties of these dyes were maintained when introduced into the PCSNPs. In the presence of formaldehyde, the MR, BCP, and 4-NP colorimetric sensors changed to yellow, red, and gray, respectively. The colorimetric response was maximized at a PEI/PSMA ratio of four, likely owing to the high content of amine groups. Effective formaldehyde gas detection was achieved at a relative humidity of 30% using the MR colorimetric sensor, which exhibited a large color change (92%) in 1 min. Advantageously, this stable sensor allowed sensitive and rapid naked-eye detection of low formaldehyde concentrations (0.5 ppm). Hence, this approach is promising for real-time formaldehyde gas visualization and can also be adapted to other colorimetric gas sensor systems to improve sensitivity and simplicity.

A simple and highly sensitive colorimetric detection method for gaseous formaldehyde.

Project description:A colorimetric detection method using amine-functionalized polymer films doped with a pH indicator has been developed for the rapid, sensitive, and quantitative detection of gaseous formaldehyde at concentrations well below the immediately dangerous to life or health (IDLH) limit. In 1 min, visible color changes are easily observed, even down to the permissible exposure limit (PEL) at 750 ppb. The limit of detection is below 50 ppb (7% of the PEL) after 10 min of exposure. This sensor is essentially unaffected by changes in humidity or temperature (4 to 50 degrees C) and is not sensitive to common interferents.

Photooxidation of thiosaccharides mediated by sensitizers in aerobic and environmentally friendly conditions.

Project description:A series of β-d-glucopyranosyl derivates have been synthesized and evaluated in photooxidation reactions promoted by visible light and mediated by organic dyes under aerobic conditions. Among the different photocatalysts employed, tetra-O-acetyl riboflavin afforded chemoselectively the respective sulfoxides, without over-oxidation to sulfones, in good to excellent yields and short reaction times. This new methodology for the preparation of synthetically useful glycosyl sulfoxides constitutes a catalytic, efficient, economical, and environmentally friendly oxidation process not reported so far for carbohydrates.

Catalytic performance of PVP-coated CuO nanosheets under environmentally friendly conditions† † Electronic supplementary information (ESI) available. See DOI: https://doi.org/10.1039/d2ra07645d

Project description:Aromatic nitro compounds are an increasing concern worldwide due to their potential toxicity, prompting a quest for efficient removal approaches. This study established a simple and environmentally friendly method to synthesize a highly efficient, recoverable and stable CuO nanosheets catalyst to overcome public health and environmental problems caused by nitro aromatic compounds. In the current research, the effect of different concentrations of copper nitrate on the size and shape of CuO nanostructures in the chemical synthesis was studied. The CuO nanosheets were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry. It was found that at concentrations of 0.07 M and 0.1 M of copper nitrate, pure CuO was formed. The FTIR results showed that carbonyl group in PVP coordinated with CuO and formed a protective layer. The as-synthesized CuO nanosheets with an average width of 60 ± 23 nm and length of 579 ± 154 were used as a catalyst for highly selective and efficient reduction of aromatic nitro and aromatic carboxylic acid to the corresponding amine and alcohol compounds. The reduction reaction was monitored by either UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy or high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). 4-Nitrophenol and 4-nitroaniline were reduced to corresponding amine compounds within 12 min and 6 min, respectively in the presence of a reasonable amount of catalyst and reducing agent. The CuO nanosheets also exhibited excellent stability. The catalyst can be reused without loss of its activity after ten runs. Aromatic nitro compounds are an increasing concern worldwide due to their potential toxicity, prompting a quest for efficient removal approaches.

A sensitive colorimetric probe for detection of the phosphate ion.

Project description:In the present article, we report a novel colorimetric probe (TNT@MB) for the detection of the phosphate ion, which is based on the strong binding affinity between the phosphate ion and titanium dioxide nanotubes (TNTs). TNTs were synthesized from TiO2 nanoparticles by hydrothermal treatment. The obtained TNTs had an average length of 200 ± 50 nm and an average width of 12 ± 5 nm. TNT@MB was prepared by adsorbing methyl blue onto TNTs in acidic condition. The optimal synthesis conditions for TNT@MB consisted in having 0.05 g of TNTs react with 1 μmole of methyl blue at pH 2 for 90 min. TNTs and TNT@MB were characterized by UV-vis diffuse reflection spectroscopy, TEM, FTIR, and XPS. The phosphate-ion sensing behavior of TNT@MB was investigated by UV-visible spectroscopy. The phosphate-ion concentration linear range and detection limit of this method based on TNT@MB were 1-40 μM and 0.59 μM, respectively. A sample of lake water was used as a real sample, and analyte recovery rates were measured in the 102.5-103.6% range, with relative standard deviations below 5.6% (n = 3). We also found that this probe could be reused after regeneration in alkaline solution. These results indicate that as a colorimetric probe, TNT@MB has the advantages of being environmentally friendly, inexpensive, and simple to use, as well as giving rise to an easily observable color change.

Formaldehyde produced from d-ribose under neutral and alkaline conditions.

Project description:Formaldehyde is toxic and has been implicated in the pathologies of various diseases, such as cognitive impairment and cancer. Though d-ribose is widely studied and provided as a supplement to food such as flavor and drinks, no laboratories have reported that d-ribose is involved in the formaldehyde production. Here, we show that formaldehyde is produced from d-ribose in lysine or glycine solution and Tris-HCl buffer under neutral and alkaline conditions. Intraperitoneal injection of C57BL/6J mice with d-ribose significantly increased the concentration of brain formaldehyde, compared to the injection with d-glucose or saline. These data suggest that formaldehyde levels should be monitored for the people who take d-ribose as a supplement.

A novel fluorescent probe for real-time imaging of thionitrous acid under inflammatory and oxidative conditions.

Project description:Thionitrous acid (HSNO), a crosstalk intermediate of two crucial gasotransmitters nitric oxide and hydrogen sulfide, plays a critical role in redox regulation of cellular signaling and functions. However, real-time and facile detection of HSNO with high selectivity and sensitivity remains highly challenging. Herein we report a novel fluorescent probe (SNP-1) for HSNO detection. SNP-1 has a simple molecular structure, but showing strong fluorescence, a low detection limit, a broad linear detection range (from nanomolar to micromolar concentrations), ultrasensitivity, and high selectivity for HSNO in both aqueous media and cells. Benefiting from these unique features, SNP-1 could effectively visualize changes of HSNO levels in mouse models of acute ulcerative colitis and renal ischemia/reperfusion injury. Moreover, the good correlation between colonic HSNO levels and disease activity index demonstrated that HSNO is a promising new diagnostic agent for acute ulcerative colitis. Therefore, SNP-1 can serve as a useful fluorescent probe for precision detection of HSNO in various biological systems, thereby facilitating mechanistic studies, therapeutic assessment, and high-content drug screening for corresponding diseases.

A Visible Colorimetric Fluorescent Probe for Hydrogen Sulfide Detection in Wine.

Project description:A new efficient and practical fluorescent probe 6-(benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)naphthalen-2-yl-thiophene-2-carboxylate (probe 1) was synthesized to detect hydrogen sulfide (H2S). The addition of H2S caused the solution of probe 1 to change from colorless to yellow, and the solution of probe 1 changes to different colors with respect to different concentrations of H2S. Importantly, probe 1 could help detect H2S efficiently by a distinct color response as a visible detection agent. Probe 1 reacted with various concentrations of H2S (0-200 μM), and the detection limit for H2S was 0.10 μM. Particularly, probe 1 can be applied as a sensor to detect H2S accurately in wine samples.
