The glasses were prepared by the melting technique and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform-infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, optical absorption, and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy including decay kinetics assessment. The XRD data confirmed the amorphous nature of the glasses, whereas FT-IR spectra indicated the basic structural features of PO4 tetrahedra. The optical absorption analysis showed that addition of PdO up to 0.3 mol% lead to significant growth of the visible Pd2+ d-d absorption band around 415 nm, with ultimately some decrease in the optical band gap energies assessed through Tauc plots. Further, significant PL quenching of Gd3+ ions emission around 312 nm was observed with increasing PdO contents, alongside increased decay rates for the 6P7/2 emitting state in Gd3+. An analysis of quenching constants was ultimately performed comparing results from emission intensity with the decay rates. It is suggested that a Gd3+ → Pd2+ excitation transfer and/or absorption competition lead the quenching process with a contribution from a channel depopulating the 6P7/2 metastable state.The commercially available fluorophore, 3-hydroxy-2-naphthoic hydrazide (RS2), has rationally been selected for the study, which displays a rapid fluorescent response and high sensitivity for CN- and Al(III) ions in neat DMSO and H2O-DMSO (11 v/v) media. The addition of CN- to RS2 triggers an enhancement in fluorescence at 505 nm (green fluorescence), while the addition of Al(III) increases the fluorescence of the probe with a blue-shift of emission maximum by 25 nm (bluish-green fluorescence). The probe's action was investigated by 1H NMR titrations that indicate deprotonation of OH and NH moieties by these ions. 27Al NMR of RS2-Al(III) complex suggests an oct
