Abstract
Cu(II) detection in the presence of main group heavy metal ions and d-, f- and g-element interferents relies on a colorimetric chelating complex between 3-hydroxy-5-nitrobenzaldehyde-4-hydroxybenzoylhydrazone (3-HNHBH) and Cu(II). Derivatives and entrapped forms of the probe were aligned with the methods of analysis, featuring spectrophotometric, reflectometric, lateral flow, microfluidic, lab-on-paper, positional array, dynamic array, flow cytometry and tandem stage devices. A remotely operating software capable of DFT calculations predicted the observed detection limit of 0.34 μg L(<5 nM) as well as high selectivity towards copper ions in the presence of competing Zn+2 and Ni+2. The probe was readily regenerated against metal complexation by using a 0.5 M HCl solution, indicating its feasibility to be a re-usable sensor for the convenient detection of copper ions in water-organic media. The influence of metal interference, pH and solvents on the selectivity and regeneration of the ligand was incorporated in an algorithm providing decision support to the analyst via smartphone, laptop and other multimedia.
