CuAAC derived 7-azaindole and 1H-pyridin-2-one linked 1,2,3-triazole based probe for selective Pb2+ sensing endowed with in vitro and in silico antimicrobial potential

Key Points

• The triazole-based probe exhibits selective sensing for Pb2+, crucial for identifying lead contamination in various settings.
• In vitro evaluations indicate significant antimicrobial activity, highlighting potential applications in public health.
• Assessment using a triazole-linked structure shows promising results for both heavy metal sensing and microbial inhibition.
• Supports the development of dual-function probes, suggesting strong implications for environmental monitoring and pathogen control.
