The optical and colorimetric sensing properties of H2L1–H2L3 for anions were investigated by the naked eye and UV-Vis and fluorescence spectroscopy. The spectral change of H2L1–H2L3 is due to the anion induced deprotonation and hence an increase in charge density and rigidity of the receptor molecule. The anion sensing abilities of the receptors toward halide anions were also monitored by electrochemical techniques.

The cationic chemosensor based on organic compound bearing an aminophenol moiety as a receptor for metal analyte and a cinnamaldehyde moiety as chromophoric fragment has been developed. In this work, we report the colorimetric sensing of nitrophenyl cinnamaldehyde derivative, namely methyl-3-(2-hidroxy-5-nitrophenyl amino)-3-phenylpropanoate, towards a variety of metal cations, such as Cu2+, Fe3+, Ni2+ and Zn2+. The cation sensing abilities of the sensor were observed for Cu2+and Fe3+ with a color change from colorless to pink and faint yellow, respectively, The characteristic UV-Vis spectra changes were observed upon addition of Cu2+and Fe3+ cations. The hypsochromic absorption spectra shifts were obtained, indicating the cations and sensor complexations had formed. A metal-to-ligand-charge-transfer (MLCT) had occurred and the charge density of the sensor changed resulting in appearance of new absorption peaks in the UV-Vis spectra and color changes of the sensor solution upon addition of the Cu2+and Fe3+.

Colorimetric sensors offer the prospect for on-demand sensing diagnostics in simple and low-cost form factors, enabling rapid spatiotemporal inspection by digital cameras or the naked eye. However, realizing strong dynamic color variations in response to small changes in sample properties has remained a considerable challenge, which is often pursued through the use of highly responsive materials under broadband illumination. In this work, we demonstrate a general colorimetric sensing technique that overcomes the performance limitations of existing chromatic and luminance-based sensing techniques. Our approach combines structural color optical filters as sensing elements alongside a multichromatic laser illuminant. We experimentally demonstrate our approach in the context of label-free biosensing and achieve ultrasensitive and perceptually enhanced chromatic color changes in response to refractive index changes and small molecule surface attachment. Using structurally enabled chromaticity variations, the human eye is able to resolve ∼0.1-nm spectral shifts with low-quality factor (e.g., Q ∼ 15) structural filters. This enables spatially resolved biosensing in large area (approximately centimeters squared) lithography-free sensing films with a naked eye limit of detection of ∼3 pg/mm2, lower than industry standard sensors based on surface plasmon resonance that require spectral or angular interrogation. This work highlights the key roles played by both the choice of illuminant and design of structural color filter, and it offers a promising pathway for colorimetric devices to meet the strong demand for high-performance, rapid, and portable (or point-of-care) diagnostic sensors in applications spanning from biomedicine to environmental/structural monitoring.
