Summary: We synthesized a biphenyl-derived amido Schiff base, sensor 1, which has hard donors for chelating with hard metal centers. The crystal structure of sensor 1 shows various types of H-bond interactions that stabilize the crystal lattice. Sensor 1 exhibits high selectivity and sensitivity towards Al3+ ions in aqueous DMF media. We also reported the first structurally characterized six-coordinate dinuclear Al3+ complex, complex 1, in which each Al3+ ion is hexa-coordinated and the sodium ion is penta-coordinated in a highly distorted trigonal bipyramidal geometry. Sensor 1-coated test kits successfully detected Al3+ ions under UV light.

Summary: A bis-heteroleptic Ru(II) complex has been developed for the photoluminescence detection of phosphate and Ag+ ions in different solvents with significant PL enhancement. The PL enhancement is attributed to triazole C-H...anion H-bonding interaction for phosphate ions and unique Ag(I)-triazolide complex formation for Ag+ ion detection. Triplet state TDDFT calculations explain the PL enhancement and the probe also shows low cytotoxicity against Hela cells and can be used for intracellular Ag+ imaging.

Summary: This study presents the first example of a stable hexanuclear metal-organic framework material (JLU-MOF111) with a nondefault topology, which exhibits unique turn-on and unprecedented turn-off-on responses to various acids. The turn-on response is explained by weak interactions in acid-ligand complexes, leading to constrained rotations of benzene moieties of the ligands and reduced nonradiative energy consumption. The turn-off-on response is dominated by an excited-state electron transfer process and prohibited nonradiative decay. This work provides important insights into the sensing performance of metal-organic framework materials.

Summary: Potassium carbonate-activated biochar derived from Ricinus communis and Colocasia esculanta stems exhibited efficient removal of Cd2+ and Pb2+ from synthetic wastewater. The adsorption parameters and mechanisms were studied, with the findings indicating that biosorption followed the Freundlich isotherm and the pseudo-second-order kinetic model, and involved physical adsorption. The optimum conditions for Cd2+ and Pb2+ removal were determined, and the adsorption capacity was found to be 55 mg g(-1) for Cd and 76 mg g(-1) for Pb. Thermodynamics showed spontaneous and endothermic adsorption, and desorption studies indicated recyclability up to 5 cycles. These results highlight the potential of RCSB and CESB for efficient removal of heavy metal ions from aqueous environments.
