Development of a novel AIE active piperazine appended chemosensor for solvent-regulated selective detection of IIB elements [Zn(ii), Cd(ii), Hg(ii)], Cl⁻ and picric acid via varying emission colors to distinguish one another: environmental and biological applications

Abstract

Piperazine appended Schiff base chemosensor (HL) (Z)-2,4-dibromo-6-(4-(piperazin-1-yl)but-1-en-1-yl)phenol, developed by a simple condensation of 3, 5 Dibromosalicylaldehyde and 2-aminoethyl piperazine, is successfully utilized to recognize Zn(II) and Cl- ion among several...

Morphological adaptability through structural alterations in an AIE active novel chemosensor with Al(iii), Fe(iii), and gas phase/aqueous phase TNP recognition ability

“…Scientists firmly believe that using organic chemosensors is the ideal approach for selective and easy detection of the said cations and explosives as it has several benefits, which include low cost, quick response times, minimal sample consumption, and accurate and selective detection. 17–23 In terms of detection, chemosensing has surpassed all the traditional detection approaches, including atomic absorption spectroscopy, inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry, chemiluminescence, voltammetry, and so forth, whose uses are restricted due to sophisticated instrumentation, high cost, and high sample and time consumption. 24,25…”
