In pH 4.5–7.0 Britton-Robinson buffer solution, furosemide (FUR) reacted with Pd (II) to form a 1:1 anionic chelate. This chelate could further react with such basic triphenylmethane dyes (BTPMD) as ethyl violet (EV), crystal violet (CV), methyl violet (MV), methyl green (MeG) and brilliant green (BG) to form 1:1 ion-association complexes. This not only resulted in the change of absorption spectra, but also led to the significant enhancement of resonance Rayleigh scattering (RRS), second-order scattering (SOS) and frequency doubling scattering (FDS). The maximum RRS wavelengths were located at 324 nm for the EV, CV and MV system, and 340 nm for the BG and MeG system. The maximum SOS wavelengths were located at 550 nm for the EV, CV, BG and MeG system, and 530 nm for the MV system. The maximum scattering peaks of all the systems were at 392 nm for FDS. The enhanced RRS, SOS and FDS intensities were directly proportional to the concentration of FUR. The detection limits for the different dye systems were 0.3–4.9 ng mL^?1 for the RRS method, 3.2–33.1 ng mL^?1 for the SOS method and 9.0–85.7 ng mL^?1 for the FDS method. These methods could be used for the determination of trace amounts of FUR. The effects of the formation of ternary ion-association complexes on the spectral characteristics and intensities of absorption, RRS, SOS and FDS have been investigated. The optimum conditions of these reactions, the influencing factors and the analytical properties have been tested.

Study on the interaction of trypsin with some DNAs and their analytical application by resonance Rayleigh scattering spectra

When trypsin reacts with Herring sperm DNA (hsDNA), Salmon sperm DNA (sDNA), and Calf thymus DNA (ctDNA) to form a complex, the resonance Rayleigh scattering (RRS) was remarkably enhanced and new RRS spectra appear. These new spectra have similar characteristics of RRS spectra. The maximum RRS peaks are at 307 nm (hsDNA, sDNA) and 290 nm (ctDNA), and other peaks are at 350 nm. The scattering intensity is proportional to the concentration of DNA or trypsin; so this intereaction can be used to determine trypsin using DNA or DNA using trypsin. In the determination of DNA using trypsin, the linear ranges for hsDNA, sDNA, and ctDNA are 0–2.3, 0–2.5, and 0–1.9 μg·mL⁻¹, and the detection limits are 0.4, 0.7, and 1.1 ng·mL⁻¹, respectively. In the determination of trypsin using hsDNA, the linear range is 0–30.0 μg·mL⁻¹, and the detection limit is 39.0 ng·mL⁻¹. In this paper, the intereaction conditions were optimized. The affecting factors, chemical properties of the complex, and the composition ratio of trypsin with DNA were investigated. Using trypsin as RRS probe, a sensitive method for the determination of trace amounts of DNA was developed. Translated from Chemical Journal of Chinese Universities, 2006, 27(3) (in Chinese)

It was found that AS and MS quenched the photoluminescence of CdTe NCs and enhanced RRS of CdTe NCs. Under optimum conditions, there are linear relationships between quenching intensity (F ₀-F), intensity of RRS (I-I ₀) and concentration of AS and MS. The detection limits (3б) of AS and MS are respectively 3.4 ng·mL⁻¹ and 2.6 ng·mL⁻¹ by the fluorescence quenching method, and 15.2 ng·mL⁻¹ and 14.0 ng·mL⁻¹ by the RRS method.
