以脯氨酸(Pro)为保护剂,盐酸羟胺为还原剂,通过一步化学还原法制备脯氨酸稳定的铜纳米团簇(Cu NCs)。采用分子荧光仪和紫外可见吸收仪对Cu NCs的光学性质进行分析,通过透射电子显微镜(TEM)、X射线光电子能谱(XPS)和傅里叶变换红外波谱仪(FTIR)对Cu NCs的结构进行表征。TEM图像显示Cu NCs的形貌为球状,平均直径为1.89 nm。Cu NCs溶液在紫外光下呈蓝色,最大激发和发射波长分别为397和458 nm。Cu NCs的荧光可以选择性地被三硝基苯酚(PA)猝灭。该探针对PA的线性响应范围为0.5～15μmol/L和20～70μmol/L,检测限为0.092μmol/L(S/N=3)。可能的检测机理是静态猝灭和内滤效应。此外,该荧光探针已成功应用于实际水样品中PA的测定。     

Mercury Detection in Seawater Using a Mercaptoacetic Acid Modified Gold Microwire Electrode

It is demonstrated here that it is possible to determine mercury in chloride containing media like seawater by anodic stripping voltammetry using a modified electrode. A gold microwire electrode is modified using mercaptoacetic acid (MAA) to eliminate the problem of calomel formation, allowing the mercury to become fully removed from the electrode surface after each scan. In a synthetic salt solution of KNO₃ the sensitivity for mercury was found to be improved by the surface modification. In seawater the sensitivity was not significantly improved possibly because of complexation of the mercury by the abundant chloride; however, the MAA coating prevented the formation of calomel causing the background scan to be free of mercury. Measurements in seawater at various pH values demonstrated that mercury detection is possible at natural pH (around 8); however, best sensitivity was attained at pH 4.8 with a deposition time of 3 min. A peak for copper occurred at more negative potential but did not interfere at this pH. The calibration was linear between 0 and 37 nM mercury with a limit of detection of 1 nM mercury.

玛卡荧光碳点的合成及用于苦味酸的荧光检测

以玛卡为碳源,采用水热法制备荧光碳点。碳点水溶液在激发波长为315 nm时,最大荧光发射波长为425 nm。在玛卡荧光碳点的磷酸盐缓冲液(0.2 mol/L,pH 5.8)中,加入苦味酸,其荧光被猝灭,基于此建立了以玛卡荧光碳点为荧光探针测定苦味酸的方法。本方法检测苦味酸的线性范围为0.4~80 mmol/L,相关系数为0.9978,检出限为110 nmol/L(S/N=3),本方法线性范围宽、灵敏度高、响应快(2 min内),选择性和抗干扰能力良好。用于实际水样中苦味酸的检测,加标回收率为92.0%~110.0%,结果令人满意。

A Facilely Synthesized Dual-State Emission Platform for Picric Acid Detection and Latent Fingerprint Visualization

To achieve a highly efficient, dual-state emission platform for picric acid (PA) detection and latent fingerprint (LFP) visualization, flexible alkyl chains have been facilely attached to the commercial organic dye 3,4,9,10-perylenetetracarboxylic dianhydride to provide the target perylenetetracarboxylate molecules PTCA-C4, PTCA-C6, and PTCA-C12. Interestingly, all these molecules exhibited impressive fluorescence characteristics with high photoluminescence quantum yields (PLQYs) of around 93.0 % in dilute solution. Also, emissive features were observed in the solid state because close molecular packing is prevented by the alkyl chains, especially for PTCA-C6, which has a high PLQY value of 49.0 %. Benefiting from its impressive fluorescence performance in both solution and as aggregates, PTCA-C6 was used as a dual-state emission platform for PA detection and also LFP visualization. For example, double-responsive fluorescence quenching in solution was observed in PA detection studies, resulting in high quenching constants (K_SV) and also low limit-of-detection values. Furthermore, the fingerprint powder based on PTCA-C6 also presented an impressive performance on various substrates in terms of fluorescence intensity and resolution, clearly providing the specific fine details of latent fingerprints. These results demonstrate that the facilely synthesized PTCA-C6 with efficient dual-state emission exhibits great potential in the real-world applications of PA detection and LFP visualization.     

Fast Adsorption of Soft Hydrogel Microspheres on Solid Surfaces in Aqueous Solution

The real‐time adsorption behavior of polymeric colloidal microspheres onto solid surfaces in aqueous solution was visualized for the first time using high‐speed atomic force microscopy (HS‐AFM) to reveal how the softness of the microspheres affects their dynamic adsorption. Studies that focus on the deformability of microspheres upon dynamic adsorption have not yet been reported, most likely on account of a lack of techniques that appropriately depict the dynamic adsorption and deformation behavior of individual microspheres at the nanoscale in real time. In this study, the deformability of microspheres plays a crucial role on the adsorption kinetics, that is, soft hydrogel microspheres adsorb faster than harder elastomeric or rigid microspheres. These results should provide insight towards development of new colloidal nanomaterials that exhibit effective adsorption on specific sites in aqueous solution.     

Chemodosimetric Mechanistic Insight through Trapping Intermediate for Selective Detection of Picric Acid in Aqueous Medium by a Dinuclear CdII Complex

A fluorescent dinuclear cadmium(II) based discrete metal complex of composition [Cd^II₂L(μ-Cl)Cl₂]( 1 ) is used {HL=2,6-bis[2-(methylamino)ethyliminomethyl]-4-Ethylphenol} for the specific recognition of 2,4,6-trinitrophenol (picric acid; PA) via fluorescence quenching phenomenon among various nitroaromatic compounds through a chemodosimetric approach. It has been established that 1 is a chemodosimeter in pure water. We have successfully been able to isolate three compounds: chemodosimeter 1 ; an intermediate complex 2 of composition [Cd^II(LH₂)Cl₂](Picrate) and final association complex 3 of composition [NH₃(CH₂CH₂)NH₂CH₃](Picrate)₂. Compounds have been characterised by CHN elemental analyses, single crystal X-ray crystallography, PXRD, NMR and FTIR. Selective interaction of 1 with PA was evaluated by fluorescence, UV-Vis and life time measurements. Fluorescence quenching of 1 occurs definitely due to the formation of compound 3 via intermediate 2 involving partial decomplexation, hydrolysis and proton transfer phenomena in solution during the course of sensing. The quenching constant (K_sv), association constant (K_a) and detection limit (LOD) of the complex 1 for picric acid are ∼1.55×10⁵ M⁻¹, ∼1.8×10¹⁰ M⁻² and ∼0.47 μM (0.108 ppm), respectively. Mechanism of sensing is proposed and the very rare case of isolation and characterization of intermediate in picric acid sensing is discussed.
