Coumarinyl aldehyde as a Michael acceptor type of colorimetric and fluorescent probe for cyanide in water

A simple aldehyde-functionalized coumarin (1) was utilized as a doubly activated Michael acceptor type of chemodosimeter for cyanide in water. The probe has shown a selective and sensitive response to the cyanide anion over other various anions through the Michael addition reaction of the cyanide to 1. When cyanide anions were added, the prominent color changes as well as fluorescence changes of 1 were observed so that millimolar concentrations of cyanides were detectable by the naked eye.     

Highly sensitive fluorescent probe for detection of alkaloids

A new fluorescent probe, based on an amphiphilic Schiff-base zinc(II) complex, 1, for the sensitive detection of some important classes of alkaloids is presented. It exhibits optical absorption changes and fluorescence enhancement upon formation of 1:1 1·alkaloid adducts. Four diverse classes of alkaloids, represented by their basic structures and related representative prototypes, are investigated, through the study of optical and binding properties of 1·alkaloid adducts. It is found that the chromogenic and fluorogenic complex 1 is selective between these classes of alkaloids in the micromolar range, with a limit of quantification of 0.40 μM for nicotine and 0.43 μM for cinchonine.     

A rapid responsive and highly selective probe for cyanide in the aqueous environment

A colorimetric and fluorescent cyanide probe based on 7-(trifluoroacetamino)coumarin has been prepared. This structurally simple probe displays rapid response and high selectivity for cyanide over other common anions in the aqueous solution. The sensing of cyanide was performed via the nucleophilic attack of cyanide anion to carbonyl of the probe with a 1:1 binding stoichiometry, which could be confirmed by Job’s plot, ¹H NMR, and MS studies. DFT/TDDFT calculations support that the fluorescence enhancement of the probe is mainly due to the ICT process improvement. The detection limit of the fluorescent assay for cyanide is as low as 0.3 μM in a rapid response of less than 30 s. Thus, the present probe should be applicable as a practical system for the monitoring of cyanide concentrations in aqueous samples.     

Doubly activated coumarin as a colorimetric and fluorescent chemodosimeter for cyanide

A new α,β-unsaturated nitro group and coumarin conjugate-based fluorescent chemodosimeter 1 was developed for the selective detection of cyanide anions. The chemodosimeter has shown a selective and sensitive response to cyanide anions over other various anions through a nucleophilic aromatic substitution reaction of the cyanide to 1. When cyanide anions were added, the enhanced fluorescence intensity as well as the color changes of 1 was observed so that micromolar concentrations of cyanides were detectable by the naked eye.     

A highly selective fluorescent probe for Hg based on a rhodamine-coumarin conjugate

A fluorescent probe 1 for Hg²⁺ based on a rhodamine-coumarin conjugate was designed and synthesized. Probe 1 exhibits high sensitivity and selectivity for sensing Hg²⁺, and about a 24-fold increase in fluorescence emission intensity is observed upon binding excess Hg²⁺ in 50% water/ethanol buffered at pH 7.24. The fluorescence response to Hg²⁺ is attributed to the 1:1 complex formation between probe 1 and Hg²⁺, which has been utilized as the basis for the selective detection of Hg²⁺. Besides, probe 1 was also found to show a reversible dual chromo- and fluorogenic response toward Hg²⁺ likely due to the chelation-induced ring opening of rhodamine spirolactam. The analytical performance characteristics of the proposed Hg²⁺-sensitive probe were investigated. The linear response range covers a concentration range of Hg²⁺ from 8.0 × 10⁻⁸ to 1.0 × 10⁻⁵ mol L⁻¹ and the detection limit is 4.0 × 10⁻⁸ mol L⁻¹. The determination of Hg²⁺ in both tap and river water samples displays satisfactory results.     

Quantum dot-based "turn-on" fluorescent probe for detection of zinc and cadmium ions in aqueous media

Health or environmental issue caused by abnormal level of metal ions like Zn²⁺ or Cd²⁺ is a worldwide concern. Developing an inexpensive and facile detection method for Zn²⁺ and Cd²⁺ is in urgent demand. Due to their super optical properties, fluorescent quantum dots (QDs) have been developed as a promising alternative for organic dyes in fluorescence analysis. In this study, a CdTe QDs-based sensitive and selective probe for Zn²⁺ and Cd²⁺ in aqueous media was reported. The proposed probe worked in fluorescence “turn-on” mode. The initial bright fluorescence of CdTe QDs was effectively quenched by sulfur anions (S²⁻). The presence of Zn²⁺ (or Cd²⁺) can “turn-on” the weak fluorescence of QDs quenched by S²⁻ due to the formation of ZnS (or CdS) passivation shell. Under optimal conditions, a good linear relationship between the fluorescence response and concentration of Zn²⁺ (or Cd²⁺) could be obtained in the range from 1.6 to 35 μM (1.3–25 μM for Cd²⁺). The limit of detection (LOD) for Zn²⁺ and Cd²⁺ were found to be 1.2 and 0.5 μM, respectively. Furthermore, the present probe exhibited a high selectivity for Zn²⁺ and Cd²⁺ over other metal ions and was successfully used in the detection of Zn²⁺ or Cd²⁺ in real water samples.

A new two-photon fluorescent probe, ADNO, for nitric oxide （NO） based on intramolecular photoinduced electron transfer （PET） mechanism d/splays a rapid response to NO with a remarkable fluorescent enhancement in PBS buffer. The excellent chemoselectivity of ADNO for NO over other ROS/RNS （reactive oxygen species or nitrogen species） and common metal ions was observed. Moreover, ADNO has been successfully applied in fluorescence imaging of NO of living cells using both one-photon microscopy （OPM） and two-~hoton microscopy （TPM）,     

A coumarin-based fluorescent probe for selective detection of Cu2+ in water

Fluorescent Red GK, a commercially available coumarin-based dye, was developed as a “turn-off” fluorescent probe for detection of Cu²⁺ in aqueous solution. It exhibited high selectivity and sensitivity at room temperature. Upon addition of Cu²⁺, the strong fluorescence of Fluorescent Red GK was severely quenched and its color changed from orange to colorless under illumination with a UV lamp; the color of the solution also changed from pink to colorless. So, it can be used as a specific colorimetric and fluorescent probe for Cu²⁺ with a detection limit as low as 0.0634?μM.

Anaphthalimide-based fluorescent probe for mercaptocontaining compounds

A polarity-sensitive fluorescent probe MNP was rationally designed and synthesized with naphthalimide as the fluorophore and maleimide as the receptor for thiols. MNP is weakly fluorescent due to the photoinduced electron-transfer(PET) from the fluorophore to the receptor, and it displays evidently solvatochromic UV–vis and fluorescence spectra: the emission shifted from 495 nm in n-hexane to545 nm in phosphate buffer solution. Michael addition reaction between thiols and the maleimide in MNP inhibited the PET process, which led to about eight-fold fluorescence enhancement. In addition,MNP showed highly sensitivity to mercapto-containing proteins and it could detect as low as 20.4 mg/m L of BSA in PBS. MNP has potential in fluorescent imaging of thiols in living cells.
