Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Smart chemosensors have received continuous attention due to their great achievements in biosensing and bioimaging applications. This Special Issue is mainly focused on smart chemosensors which are applied to the biosensing of various species, considering their future usage in diagnosis and phototherapy. Both review articles and original research papers are encouraged and topics may relate to the following areas, although this list is by no means exhaustive:

  • The synthesis of fluorescent sensors or photosensitizers;
  • Fluorescent sensors for bioimaging and biosensing;
  • Photoacoustic sensors for bioimaging and biosensing;
  • Electrochemiluminescent sensors for bioimaging and biosensing;
  • Bioimaging-guided photodynamic/photothermal therapy;
  • Small organic molecular-based sensors;
  • Supramolecular-based sensors;
  • Polymer-based sensors;
  • Nanomaterial-based sensors.

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Chemosensors is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Carbamazepine is a crucial medication used to treat nervous system disorders, and its low level of absorption in the human body suggests that a significant amount of it may be present in sewage water. Consequently, this pioneering research deals with the synthesis and application of a luminescent sensor based on rhodamine 6 G-modified bifunctional silica particles for the determination of carbamazepine. The sensing material was fabricated in one step by the sol–gel technique and the dye was adsorbed onto the surface from an alcohol solution. The composition, morphology and size of functionalized silica particles were determined by physico-chemical methods. The material’s features provide the possibility of its application as a sensing material for carbamazepine determination at a variety of concentrations. The sensor possesses a linear response towards carbamazepine in the concentration range of 0.8–200.0 μM with a limit of detection (LOD) of 17.9 μM and a limit of quantification (LOQ) of 59.7 μM and has demonstrated reliable quantification over a wide range of concentrations, from therapeutic to high fatal concentrations. Additionally, the sensing mechanism has been proposed, which involves the formation of hydrogen bonding between carbamazepine and Rhodamine 6G immobilized bifunctional silica particles. Full article
