Schiff baseAlkyne precursor for1,2,3-Triazole functionalized organosiliconas a PotentialSensor for Zn(II)andAntioxidantActivity.

Schiff base linked1,2,3-triazole silane5has been synthesized through the Schiff base terminated alkyne with azido via click chemistry,the compound4 structure elucidated through X-ray crystallography, and the compound5 is well characterized through different techniques such asFT-IR, 1H and 13C NMR and Mass spectrometry. UV-visible sensing studies of synthesized compounds4 and5 have been performed, and both are efficient in detectingZn(II) ion, but compound 5 has imparted a higher mode of attraction to Zn(II) with limit of detection (LOD) value (1.4 x 10-6M) wherethe compound 4 is calculated to be (1.25 x 10-5M). By Job's method, the stoichiometric ratio of compound5 and Zn(II) iscalculated to bea 1:1 ratio. The complex of compound 5 with Zn(II) was prepared. A radical and oxidative species are responsible for the deteriorating of stabilized molecules. The synthesized compound 5hasantioxidant propertiesthat can potentially scavenge 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radicals. Further to verify the mode of binding interaction between compound 5andZn(II), computational Density functional theory (DFT) study was evaluated.

Hybrid silica nanoparticles functionalized with pyrazolone-tethered organosilane: Synthesis and application for Sn (II) ion sensing in tap water.

Pyrazolone tethered triazole functionalized organosilane and their hybrid silica nanoparticles (HSNPs) have been synthesised for the selective detection of Sn(II) using spectrophotometric techniques. The prepared compounds are characterized by FT-IR, NMR (1H and 13C), XRD, mass spectrometry and FE-SEM spectral analyses. The synthesized hybrid silica nanoparticles gave improved detection limit of 4.3 × 10-8 M and stoichiometry of complex between analyte and probe was found to be 1:1. The association constant calculated for organosilane and their HSNPs came out to be 9.54 × 104 M-1 and 7.47 × 104 M-1 while the presence of other ions showed no interference in the sensing behaviour. The results of the use of this sensing system in tap water facilitate its applicability in real samples with the recovery % more than 98.

Designing of efficient two-armed colorimetric and fluorescent indole appended organosilicon sensors for the detection of Al(III) ions: Implication as paper-based sensor.

Metal ions have significant roles in diagnosis, industry, human health, and the environment. To design and develop new lucid molecular receptors for the selective detection of metal ions is important for environmental and medical applications. In the present work, two-armed indole appended Schiff bases conjoined with 1,2,3-Triazole bis-organosilane and bis-organosilatrane skelton sensors for naked eye colorimetric and fluorescent detection sensors for Al(III) are developed. The introduction of Al(III) in sensor 4 and 5 show red shift in UV-visible spectra, changes in fluorescence spectra and immediate color change from colorless to dark yellow. Furthermore, the pH and time response studies were explored for both sensors 4 & 5. The sensors 4 and 5 exhibited significantly low detection limit (LOD) in nano-molar range 1.41 × 10-9 M and 0.17 × 10-9 M respectively from emission titration. The LOD form absorption titration was found to be 0.6 × 10-7 M for sensor 4 and 0.22 × 10-7 M for sensor 5. In addition, the sensing model is developed as paper based sensor for its practical applicability. The theoretical calculations were performed on Gaussian 03 program by relaxing the structures using Density functional theory.

Click derived organosilane assembled with nano platform for the detection of Cu2+ ions: Biological evaluation and molecular docking approach.

Metal ions have active roles in biochemical, industrial, and environmental processes. The design and development of new rapid sensing materials with advanced reasonable, compelling, and convenient, techniques are urgent. Here in this work, we design and develop sensor with the facile amalgamation of the pyrene-based organosilane (5) through a click silylation approach silicon composite for selective detection of Cu2+ ions. Physicochemical and keen methods are employed to perceive the resultant hybrid nanoparticles (H-NPs), and these nanocomposites similarly displayed a strong affection for Cu2+ ions. In addition, the identification restrictions while utilizing 5 and H-NP's towards Cu2+ found in this study are far lower than the WHO rules for drinking water. Further, organosilane (5) shows good antibacterial and antioxidant activity. The antibacterial effects of triazole-based organosilane (5), are evaluated with a molecular docking study with Escherichia coli (IJZQ) was conducted. The selected ligand was revealed to have a reasonable docking score with a binding energy of -8.40 kcal mol-1.

Development of piperazine conjoined 1,2,3-triazolyl-γ-propyltriethoxysilanes: Fluorometric detection of Cr3+ ions and computational study.

Chromium is essential for some biochemical processes, and excess is a big concern that shows adverse effects on human health and the environment. Therefore, it is urgent to design new sensors to detect chromium ions rapidly. The present study discusses the synthesis of piperazine conjoined 1,2,3-triazolyl-γ-propyltriethoxysilanes (4a-4b) and development of 4a as fluorescence turn-on sensor for the detection of Cr3+ ions. The mechanistic insights reveal to the restricted CN rotation and inhibited intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) process. In addition, Job's plot and Benesi-Hildebrand plot justify the 1:1 binding affinity with a binding constant of 9.96 × 105 M-1 for [ligand 4a + Cr3+] complex and the limit of detection for Cr3+ ions is observed as 6.06 × 10-8 M. The fluorescence spectral changes, 1H NMR spectra and DFT studies provide evidences for ligand 4a and Cr3+ ions interactions. Further, the reversibility of the ligand 4a from [ligand 4a + Cr3+] complex on the addition of EDTA can be used in the construction of molecular logic gate where Cr3+ and EDTA are considered as inputs and the fluorescence intensity at 398 nm as output. Further, compounds 4a-4b were then evaluated for their antibacterial activity against bacterial strains (Escherichia coliand Staphylococcus aureus), revealing a modest activity. The binding mode of ligand 4a to Staphylococcus aureus (PDB ID - 3U2K) and Escherichia coli (PDB ID - 5Z4O) was investigated using an in-silico molecular docking technique, which revealed that the triazole ring and silanyl group are involved in hydrogen bonding with proteins and may be the cause of the ligand's antibacterial activity. The ligand 4a demonstrated a high affinity for binding within the active sites of proteins with binding energies of -7.97 kcal/mol (3U2K) and -8.68 kcal/mol (5Z4O).
