Selective colorimetric sensing of Fe 3+ by hesperetin-conjugated silver nanoparticles: further investigation of interaction properties with bovine serum albumin

Key Points

• This research aims to investigate the interaction properties of hesperetin-conjugated silver nanoparticles with Fe(iii) and bovine serum albumin.
• Synthesis of hesperetin-conjugated silver nanoparticles (HSP-AgNPs)
• Characterization of optical properties of HSP-AgNPs
• Evaluation of interaction with Fe(iii) and bovine serum albumin
• HSP-AgNPs effectively detect Fe(iii) through colorimetric changes
• Interaction properties with bovine serum albumin are characterized
• The optical response indicates high sensitivity and selectivity for Fe(iii) detection
