Abstract
The detection of Sn2+ ions is critical in both biomedical and environmental contexts due to their dual role as essential elements and potential toxins. Recent advancements in dual-channel colorimetric and fluorometric probes have revolutionized Sn2+ detection, offering unprecedented sensitivity, selectivity, and real-time monitoring capabilities. These probes integrate colorimetric and fluorometric mechanisms, providing dual verification and enhanced reliability. Innovations in molecular design, including organic compounds and nanomaterials, have expanded their utility in diverse environments. In bioimaging, these probes enable precise intracellular localization and dynamic Sn2+ tracking, unlocking new insights into cellular processes. Environmentally, they empower rapid and portable monitoring of Sn2+ contamination in water, soil, and industrial effluents, ensuring ecosystem safety. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of recent advancements in the development of dual-channel colorimetric and fluorometric probes for the selective detection of Sn2+ ions. The focus is on summarizing innovative design strategies and sensing mechanisms that enhance probe selectivity and sensitivity. Additionally, the review highlights the practical applications of these probes in bioimaging and environmental monitoring, addressing current challenges and potential future directions in the field. By consolidating key findings, the review seeks to guide researchers in the development of next-generation probes with improved performance and multifunctionality.
期刊介绍:
Dyes and Pigments covers the scientific and technical aspects of the chemistry and physics of dyes, pigments and their intermediates. Emphasis is placed on the properties of the colouring matters themselves rather than on their applications or the system in which they may be applied.
Thus the journal accepts research and review papers on the synthesis of dyes, pigments and intermediates, their physical or chemical properties, e.g. spectroscopic, surface, solution or solid state characteristics, the physical aspects of their preparation, e.g. precipitation, nucleation and growth, crystal formation, liquid crystalline characteristics, their photochemical, ecological or biological properties and the relationship between colour and chemical constitution. However, papers are considered which deal with the more fundamental aspects of colourant application and of the interactions of colourants with substrates or media.
The journal will interest a wide variety of workers in a range of disciplines whose work involves dyes, pigments and their intermediates, and provides a platform for investigators with common interests but diverse fields of activity such as cosmetics, reprographics, dye and pigment synthesis, medical research, polymers, etc.
