“…Therefore, the detection of oxalate ions is significant. There are several studies on oxalate sensing based on fluorescence methods [36][37][38][39] . Although the fluorescence technique is simple, quantitative information of oxalate ions depends on many factors, such as probe concentration, media, and instrument factors.…”

Oxalate, citrate, and urate are the anionic metabolites that are the products of the metabolism pathway of living organisms. The high level of these anionic metabolites is related to the diseases. For example, the excess amount of oxalate ions in urine indicates the risk of kidney stones, while the level of citrate can suggest the risk of cancer. The level of urate in urine is related to the risk of gout. The detection of these anionic metabolites is significant and still remains a challenge. Thus, this work aims to develop the more sensitive and selective fluorescence sensing of oxalate in aqueous-based by using dinuclear copper(II) complex, Cu2L with eosin Y dyes that was reported as a fluorescence sensing for oxalate in the water earlier with quantum dots (QDs). However this complex shows a higher sensitivity to urate rather than oxalate. To improve the sensitivity and selectivity of the sensing system, the ratiometric and fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) was applied to the new approach. To fabricate the ratiometric and FRET system of eosin Y to QDs, the blue-emitting QDs are required. Unfortunately, the blue-emitting aqueous-based QDs are mostly quenched by Cu2+ ions. Hence, it has become the two fluorescence sensing projects which are the detection of urate and Cu2+ ions. �The first naked-eyes probe called the dual-dyes probe was constructed for urate detection. According to the ratiometric fluorescence method and FRET, this dual-dyes system has an indicator displacement assay (IDA) for the fluorescence turn-on mechanism. Blue-emitting quinine sulfate dyes is a donor and green-emitting eosin Y is an acceptor in the FRET system. The energy transfer was confirmed by fluorescence titration. Eosin Y also acts as an indicator in IDA with the Cu2L as a host. Dual-dyes probe responds to 3 main anions which are urate, oxalate, and citrate. The detection limit are 0.0699, 0.3790, and 1.0472 ?mol L-1, respectively. According to the urate, oxalate, and citrate anions concentration found in the urine are 1.49-4.46, 0.7-2.3, and 0.13-0.46 mmol L-1 [1, 2]. With the optimal dilution factor, we are able to obtain the selective probe for urate detection and it can be operated in the synthetic urine and gout patient's mimic synthetic urine samples. This approach is simple, convenient, fast, sensitive, selective, and low-cost without any pretreatment step and provides the obvious fluorescence color changing from blue to green in the presence of urate. This obvious change in the fluorescence color would lead to the opportunity of the onsite test kit for the preliminary screen of gout. The second probe is a mixed-QDs probe for the detection of Cu2+. Although, the Cu2+ ion is one of the essential ions for humans, the excessive amount of it is toxic. Additionally, Cu2+ is a toxic heavy metal in the environment. The facile, simple, sensitive, and selective probe for Cu2+ detection was fabricated by using the ratiometric system and FRET between 2 different types of QDs. There are blue-emitting Si QDs (donor) and green-emitting CdSe QDs (acceptor). The mixed-QDs probe has a yellow-green fluorescence color. The FRET between Si QDs and CdSe QDs was confirmed by the fluorescence titration and time-resolved fluorescence. The fluorescence color chang from the yellow-green of the mixed-QDs to the blue-emission of the only Si QDs was observed in the addition of Cu2+. The X-ray photoelectron spectrometer (XPS) technique was used to study the effect of Cu2+ on to QDs surfaces. The change mainly depends on the quenching of CdSe QDs surfaces. The mixed-QDs probe shows a very low detection limit of 3.89 nmol L-1 and has a high selectivity toward Cu2+ ions compared to Co2+, Fe3+, Zn2+, Al3+, Mg2+, Cr3+, Ba2+, Li+, Ca2+, Sr2+, Ag+, Na+,� Ni2+, K+, Cd2+, Pb2+, Mn2+, and Hg2+ions.

Dicarboxylic acids and their derivatives play crucial roles in various biological processes, necessitating the development of effective receptors for their detection. In particular, the smallest dicarboxylate, oxalate, presents a significant importance due to its widespread presence in nature and its association with various diseases. Yet, very little attention was devoted to the recognition of oxalate with metal-driven self-assemblies like cages or containers while numerous classic organic receptors for oxalate exist. This discrepancy is astonishing because metallocontainers or metallocages have advantages over classic macrocycles or organocages like a higher modularity and good preorganization paired with a ready receptor preparation by metal complexation. The reason for the underrepresentation is the competitive nature and excellent ligand properties of oxalate which not only is associated with the aforementioned diseases but also poses a serious hazard for metal-driven self-assemblies because the dianion can easily replace ligand strands leading to a partial or full receptor decomposition. Herein, we present a charge-neutral zinc(II)-based metallocontainer which was tuned to contest oxalate as most competitive dicarboxylate. The dianion is bound in a 1:1 fashion with a binding constant of log K = 4.39 selectively over other dicarboxylates by maintaining the receptor stability. This study highlights the importance of a highly modular receptor design so that tailored hosts can be designed to tackle the recognition of challenging competitive analytes.
