Recent trends in fluorescent-based copper (II) chemosensors and their biomaterial applications

Luminescent chemosensors for sensing Cu2+ have attracted a lot of attention in recent years due to their potential applications in biochemistry and environmental research. Based on host-guest interactions include van der Waals forces, hydrophobic contacts, electrostatic forces, coordination between metal ligands, and hydrogen bonds. They were made to allow for the selective detection of different species. It is immediately and easily detectable in biological and environmental systems, and the development of sensitive imaging technologies that can quickly monitor Cu2+ ions has attracted a lot of attention. Due to their inherent sensitivity, selectivity, and the ability for quick, real-time monitoring, they have proven to be helpful instruments for detecting metal ions. Small-molecule fluorescence probes can report on specific analytes in cells and other complex biological specimens by using selective, bio-orthogonal chemistry. The approaches for recognizing Cu2+ ions with small-molecule fluorescent probes are summarised in this article.
