General description

3-mercaptophenol coated cantilevers can be used as formaldehyde sensors since it is highly selective towards formaldehyde and can show highest downward deflection on coming in contact with it.

Application

3-mercaptophenol may be used in the synthesis of the following:
  • 4-(3-hydroxyphenylthio)naphthalene-1,2-dione, which shows fluorosence emission
  • [C6H4-1-(SPPh2)-3-(OPPh2)], a non-symmetric ligand which can combine with PdCl2 to form a pincer complex

Reliable monitoring of metabolites in biofluids is critical for diagnosis, treatment, and long-term management of various diseases. Although widely used, existing enzymatic metabolite assays face challenges in clinical practice primarily due to the susceptibility of enzyme activity to external conditions
