Abstract:
Metal ion contamination in food poses severe health risks, necessitating rapid, sensitive, and selective detection strategies. Fluorescent probes have emerged as powerful tools for on-site monitoring due to their high sensitivity, structural tunability, and compatibility with complex food matrices. This review critically analyzes recent advances in fluorescent probes for food safety, focusing on photophysical modulation mechanisms such as photoinduced electron transfer (PET), intramolecular charge transfer (ICT), and chelation-enhanced fluorescence (CHEF). Detailed studies highlight probes for toxic (Ag+, Pb2+, Hg2+, Cd2+, Cr6+, Cu2+) and essential (Zn2+, Fe2+, Al3+) ions, incorporating DFT-based structural insights, binding stoichiometry, and practical applications in diverse food samples. Comparative evaluations identify structure relationships, synthetic design strategies, and performance determinants, concluding with a discussion on the most efficient and least effective systems. The review further outlines emerging trends, including smartphone-assisted sensing, NIR-emissive probes, and multi-analyte platforms, providing a roadmap for translating molecular designs into industrial-scale food safety solutions.

In these complexes, transition metals form coordinate covalent bonds, a kind of Lewis acid-base interaction in which both of the electrons in the bond are contributed by a donor (Lewis base) to an electron acceptor (Lewis acid). The Lewis acid in...

In the visual method, metal-ion indicators (metallochromic dyes), which have distinct colors in their free and complex forms, are added to the mixture to signal the titration's end point. They form stable complexes with metal ions, but these complexes are weaker than the corresponding metal–EDTA complexes. As a...
03:02Colors 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...
