These toxins, such as creatinine and hippuric acid, were accumulated in the blood resulting from chronic kidney disease. A promising approach to detoxifying the blood involves modifying the surface of the material, designed to absorb toxins from blood components with great effectiveness. Here, the elimination of substances likes creatinine and hippuric acid from blood was investigated in relation to various functional groups in the polymeric adsorbent amberlite. The amino and sulfonate groups were added to the aromatic ring of the amberlite polymer (AM) independently to produce amberlite-NH<sub>2</sub> (AM-NH<sub>2</sub>) and amberlite-SO<sub>3</sub>H (AM-SO<sub>3</sub>H), respectively. The modified polymer was defined using FT-IR, SEM, EDX, and elemental analysis (CHNS) techniques. The adsorption process factors were examined, and the resulting data were modeled using kinetic models, that encompassed pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order equations. The pseudo-second-order models provided the best fit to the experimental removal data. After fitting the equilibrium data to both the Freundlich and Langmuir equations, it was discovered that the Langmuir equation adequately captured the equilibrium data. AM-NH<sub>2</sub> showed a 2.75 times improvement in the hippuric acid adsorption capacity rather than parent amberlite (AM), but AM-SO<sub>3</sub>H showed approximately 1.63 times increases in the blood toxin (hippuric acid) adsorption capability rather than the original amberlite. In the case of creatinine, the adsorption capacities were 130, 225.6, 385 mg g<sup>−1</sup>, for AM, AM-NH<sub>2</sub>, and AM-SO<sub>3</sub>H, respectively. According to the selectivity adsorption process, AM-NH<sub>2</sub> demonstrated selectivity for hippuric acid, while AM-SO<sub>3</sub>H was more selective for creatinine. The antibacterial effects of all newly synthesized functional polymer materials on <em>E. coli</em> and <em>S. aureus</em>, along with their antifungal effects against <em>A. niger</em>, were examined. The newly synthesized polymers AM-NH<sub>2</sub> and AM-SO<sub>3</sub>H exhibited significant antimicrobial activity, nearly equivalent to that of commercial antibiotics. The inhibition zones of newly synthesized polymers were recorded as 24 mm for <em>E. coli</em>, 25 mm for <em>S. aureus</em>, and 27 mm for <em>A. niger</em>. The Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) value of newly synthesized polymers was less than parent polymer. The current research will aid in the development of an antimicrobial filter base polymers, which provides a cost-effective and eco-friendly option for use in hemodialysis.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":433,"journal":{"name":"Spectrochimica Acta Part A: Molecular and Biomolecular Spectroscopy","volume":"341 ","pages":"Article 126411"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2025-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144072464","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, CQDs with systematically controlled particle sizes were synthesized via a hydrothermal method to investigate the effect of size on their fluorescence properties and Cu<sup>2+</sup> detection capabilities. Characterization techniques, including transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and spectroscopic analysis, revealed that the smaller CQDs particles (<3 nm) exhibited the weaker fluorescence intensity and shorter emission wavelength compared to those of the larger CQDs particles (>3 nm). These phenomena were attributed to quantum confinement effects and surface state modulation, where reduced particle size enhanced quantum confinement, leading to discrete energy levels and blue-shifted emission. However, CQDs with smaller particle size was easy to aggregate in solution because of its high surface energy, which made it difficult to achieve system stability, thus interfering with the detection accuracy. The optimized CQDs demonstrated high sensitivity for Cu<sup>2+</sup> detection with a linear response in the concentration range of 0–3 mM and a detection limit as low as 0.09 nM.

Despite these imperatives, the design of optical probes for phthalate detection remains challenging probably due to the lack of suitable functional groups/sensing mode. Additionally, the reported probes were applied in the form of suspensions, resulting in difficulties in separation and recovery during the practical applications. Addressing these limitations, we engineered an amphiphilic BODIPY derivative (<strong>BOD-Bea</strong>) featuring a bespoke molecular architecture that self-assembles into non-fluorescent aggregates in aqueous media. Upon dipentyl phthalate (DPP) binding, significant fluorescence and absorption enhancements were elicited through the mechanism of disaggregation-induced emission (DIE). From the titration experiments, both the fluorescence emission at 653 nm and absorption at 576 nm demonstrate linear correlations with DPP concentrations in the range of 0–26 μM. The calculated LODs were determined to be 0.11 μM for fluorescence detection and 1.24 μM for absorption measurement. Detailed binding mechanism reveals that the probe achieves specific DPP recognition through synergistic interactions: π–π stacking anchoring the benzene ring moiety and hydrophobic capturing of the alkyl chain. Finally, probe BOD-Bea has been successfully employed to quantify DPP in the real water samples with good recoveries. Meanwhile, two instrument-free solid sensors based on <strong>BOD-Bea</strong> (<em>i.e.</em>, test paper and hydrogel) are fabricated to rapidly and sensitively monitor DPP.
