A highly selective fluorescence and absorption sensor for rapid recognition and detection of Cu2+ ions in aqueous solution and film

A fluorescence and absorption chemosensor (SAAT) based on 5-(hydroxymethyl)-salicylaldehyde (SA) and o-aminothiophenol (AT) was designed and synthesized. SAAT in DMSO–HEPES (20.0 mM, v/v, 1:99, pH = 7.0) solution shows a highly selective and sensitive abs

Covalently functionalized carbon nanoparticles with a chiral Mn-Salen: A new nanocatalyst for enantioselective epoxidation of alkenes

A new protocol to obtain carbon nanoparticles (CNPs) covalently functionalized with a chiral Mn-Salen catalyst is described here. The new nanocatalyst (CNPs-Mn-Salen) was tested in the enantioselective epoxidation of some representative alkenes (CN-chromene, 1,2-dihydronaphthalene and cis-β-ethyl styrene), obtaining better enantiomeric excess values than that of the catalyst single molecule, highlighting the role of the nanostructure in the enantioselectivity.

Nerve Gas Simulant Sensing by a Uranyl–Salen Monolayer Covalently Anchored on Quartz Substrates

A uranyl complex monolayer that easily allows the optical detection of a nerve gas simulant, namely, dimethyl methylphosphonate, is reported. Both UV/Vis spectroscopy and photoelectron data confirm that the functional hybrid material coordinates a Lewis base by means of the P=O group, which interacts with the uranium equatorial site available for complexation.
