2,6-Diformyl-4-methylphenol fluorophore derived Schiff base sensors detect metal ions such as Zn2+, Al3+, Hg2+, Cd2+, Sn2+ and Cu2+ with high sensitivity and selectivity through changes in fluorescence intensity based on CHEF, ICT, FRET, ESIPT, C=N isomerization and PET mechanism. Several anions viz. HPO4 2–, H2PO4 –, PO4 3–, AsO3 3–, H2AsO4 –, AsO2 –, PPi (pyrophosphate), I–, F– and N3 – were also detected through intermolecular hydrogen bonding (between sensor and anion) based on TICT, PET, CHEF, ESIPT and aggregation induced emission mechanism. Selectivity and sensitivity for these metal ions and anions were achieved by introducing various amines to core fluorophore 2,6-diformyl-4-methylphenol. Majority of these fluorescent sensors were Zn2+ ion selective. Due to the filled d10 electronic configuration of Zn2+ ion usually does not show deactivation of excited state via any electron or energy transfer mechanisms. Both solvent dependent and independent ten multi-ion selective sensors are found. This review will consolidate on 2,6-diformyl-4-methylphenol derived Schiff base fluorescent chemosensors.

Carbon dots (CDs) also nitrogen-doped CDs (N-CDs) were produced by green hydrothermal synthesis using Pea and ethanediamine as the carbon and nitrogen source, separately. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images displayed that the prepared CDs and N-CDs were well dispersed, had a spherical morphology. X-ray diffraction (XRD) figures of CDs and N-CDs presented a graphitic amorphous structure. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) verified that CDs and N-CDs carried many different hydrophilic groups (for example hydroxyl, carboxyl/carbonyl, amide, amino groups) on the surface, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) together verified this result. However, the optical properties and fluorescence quantum yield for N-CDs were obviously superior to those of CDs. Furthermore, the prepared N-CDs displayed outstanding advantages including low toxicity, satisfactory biocompatibility, and excellent chemical stability. More prominently, the prepared N-CDs could detect Hg2+ ions with high sensitivity and selectivity in both water samples and HeLa cells.

This paper describes a simple and sensitive colorimetric sensor employing single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) ligand, cationic polymer, and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) to detect silver ions. The positively charged polymer can electrostatically interact with ssDNA and destroy the charge balance leading to induction of AuNP aggregation. Silver ions (Ag+) can bind to cytosine (C)-rich nucleic acids to form the C-Ag+-C hair-pin structure, which can prevent its interaction with polymers. The resulting cationic polymer could aggregate AuNPs causing a remarkable change in colour. The concentration of Ag+ can be determined visually. This sensing platform exhibits high sensitivity and selectivity towards Ag+ versus other metal ions, with a detection limit of 48.6 nM. The assay did not require any labelling or modifying steps. This method is simple, effective, and convenient and can in principle be used to detect other metal ions or small molecules.
