First-in-class hydrazone–pyrazoline sensors for selective detection of Zn 2+ , Cd 2+ , and Hg 2+ in aqueous environments

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: detection of group 12 metals in river and pond water using a portable, low-cost device. Crucially, this system enabled rapid, naked-eye detection of toxic metals directly in the environment without the need for expensive instrumentation or mains electricity. These findings establish a new direction in pyrazoline sensor research and set a high benchmark for future sensor development.
