We synthesized an ortho-phenylazonaphthol compound of which hydroxyl group was protected by a thermo-labile tert-butoxycarbonyl (t-Boc) group, in which hydroxyazo- and hydrazone-tautomerism could be blocked. The chromophore obtained by protection with t-Boc group was exclusively present as a hydroxyazo tautomer and exhibited blue-shifted absorption spectrum compared to their parent azohydrazone tautomerizing chromophore. With this compound, we performed colorimetric anion sensing based on the deprotection-induced possible azohydrazone formation in dye chromophore subsequently resulting in naked-eye color change. Besides, the t-Boc protected chromophore could be used as a color imaging material via thermolysis of thermo-labile t-Boc groups resulting in formation of azohydrazone form with red shifted absorption.

Taking advantages of both the well-known α,β-unsaturated structure and the special nucleophilicity of organic amines toward its acceptor moieties, intramolecular charge transfer as a signaling mechanism is used to design and synthesize a new ratiometric chromophoric fluorescent probe (BI-CA-ID) with large emission shifts toward organic amines. This probe is employed for the detection of organic amines with high selectivity and sensitivity and a “naked-eye” color change (from red to colorless). Ultraviolet–visible and fluorescence spectrometric measurements are used to determine detection limits as low as 0.024 and 0.43 μM. Furthermore, nucleophilic addition of the amine on the α,β-unsaturated of BI-CA-ID indicated that the sensing mechanism occurs via interruption of the π-conjugation.

A new fluorescent chemosensor for Fe3+ was developed based on a rhodamine platform. L displayed highly selective and sensitive “OFF-ON” fluorescence response and naked-eye color change to Fe3+ in aqueous solution. The resulting L-Fe3+ complex was found to act as a selective“ ON-OFF” fluorescence probe for AcO- against common anions and cations with a Fe3+ displacement approach. The detection limits of L to Fe3+ and L-Fe3+ complex to AcO- were estimated to be 6.04×10-8 mol/L and 7.51×10-8 mol/L, respectively. The good biocompatibility of L enabled the investigation of fluorescent response for Fe3+ and AcO- in living Ana-1 cells by confocal microscope.

AbstractFour 1,1′-binaphthalene based bis-urea derivatives bearing aryl groups at end-on nitrogen atoms IIIa–d were synthesized as potential sensor molecules. These receptors show characteristic UV-VIS spectral changes on complexation with anions and they exhibit selective recognition of F− over other halide anions. Interaction of a fluoride anion with urea NH groups was confirmed by 1H NMR data. The presence of an electron-withdrawing nitro group in N′-aryls (receptors IIIa and IIIb) appeared to be necessary for naked-eye colorimetric detection. These receptors show dramatic color change from light-yellow to orange (IIIa) or to orange-red (IIIb) in the presence of guest fluoride anions already at concentrations of 10−5 mol dm−3 of the receptor and host.

A colorimetric anion sensor of methyl-3-(2-hydroxy-5-nitrophenyl amino)-3-phenylpropanoate bearing –OH and –NH groups as binding sites and nitrophenyl as a signaling unit, has been successfully accomplished. The compound functioned as a colorimetric chemosensor for H2PO4– and AcO–, in particular, the sensor showed significant naked-eye detectable color change from colorless to light yellow. In contrast, no color change was detected upon addition of other anions such as SO42–, NO3–, and CIO4–. The anion sensing ability of the sensor was further investigated by UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy in acetone. Characteristic UV-Vis spectra changes were revealed upon addition of H2PO4– and AcO–.

Paper-based lateral-flow immunoassays (LFIAs) have achieved considerable commercial success and their impact in diagnostics is continuously growing. LFIA results are often obtained by visualizing by the naked eye color changes in given areas, providing a qualitative information about the presence/absence of the target analyte in the sample. However, this platform has the potential to provide ultrasensitive quantitative analysis for several applications. Indeed, LFIA is based on well-established immunological techniques, which have known in the last year great advances due to the combination of highly sensitive tracers, innovative signal amplification strategies and last-generation instrumental detectors. All these available progresses can be applied also to the LFIA platform by adapting them to a portable and miniaturized format. This possibility opens countless strategies for definitively turning the LFIA technique into an ultrasensitive quantitative method. Among the different proposals for achieving this goal, the use of enzyme-based immunoassay is very well known and widespread for routine analysis and it can represent a valid approach for improving LFIA performances. Several examples have been recently reported in literature exploiting enzymes properties and features for obtaining significative advances in this field. In this review, we aim to provide a critical overview of the recent progresses in highly sensitive LFIA detection technologies, involving the exploitation of enzyme-based amplification strategies. The features and applications of the technologies, along with future developments and challenges, are also discussed.
