Abstract:
A novel coumarin derivatives based fluorescent chemosensor CBH was designed and synthesized by Schiff base reaction, which was connected by 7-(N,N-diethylamino) coumarin-3-aldehyde and 3-methyl-2-benzothiazolinone hydrazone through C=N. X-ray single crystal structure analysis indicated that two aromatic groups of the CBH were almost in the same plane. It displayed enhancement of the fluorescent intensity and absorbance when the sensor CBH interacted with Hg2+ ions. The chemosensor CBH exhibited a good sensitive and selective recognition towards Hg2+ ions in the presence of other important relevant metal ions.

Labeling DNA Probes
Radioisotopes, fluorophores, or small molecule binding partners like biotin or digoxigenin, are the most widely used reporter tags for labeling DNA probes. These labels can be attached to the probe DNA molecule via...
Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human...
