New sonochemiluminescence involving solvated electron in Ce(III)/Ce(IV) solutions

The moving single-bubble sonoluminescence of Ce³⁺ in water and ethylene glycol solutions of CeCl₃ and (NH₄)₂Ce(NO₃)₆ was studied. As found, a significant part of intensity of the luminescence (100% with cerium concentration less than 10^–4 M) is due to the sonochemiluminescence. A key reaction of sonochemiluminescence is the Ce⁴⁺ reduction by a solvated (or hydrated in water) electron: Ce⁴⁺ + e_s (e_aq) → *Ce³⁺. Solvated electrons are formed in a solution via electrons ejection from a low-temperature plasma periodically generated in deformable moving bubble at acoustic vibrations. Reactions of heterolytic dissociation of solvents make up the source of electrons in the plasma. In aqueous CeCl₃ solutions, the Ce⁴⁺ ion is formed at the oxidation of Ce³⁺ by OH radical. The latter species originates from homolytic dissociation of water in the plasma of the bubble, also penetrating from the moving bubble into the solution. The sonochemiluminescence in cerium trichloride solutions are quenched by the Br⁻ (acceptor of OH) and H⁺ ions (acceptor of e_aq). In water and ethylene glycol solutions of (NH₄)₂Ce(NO₃)₆, the sonochemiluminescence also quenched by the H⁺ ion. The sonochemiluminescence in CeCl₃ solutions is registered at [Ce³⁺] ≥ 10^–5 M. Then the sonochemiluminescence intensity increases with the cerium ion concentration and reaches the saturation plateau at 10^–2 M. It was shown that sonophotoluminescence (re-emission of light of bubble plasma emitters by cerium ions) also contributes to the luminescence of Ce³⁺ in solutions with [Ce³⁺] ≥ 10^–4 M. If the cerium concentration is more than 10^–2 M, a third source contributes to luminescence, viz., the collisional excitation of Ce³⁺ ions penetrating into the moving bubble.     

Sensitive Determination of Carbohydrates by Fluorimetric Method with Ce(IV) and Sodium Triphosphate

A new simple and sensitive fluorimetric method for the determination of carbohydrates is described. The method is based on the reaction between carbohydrates and Ce(IV) in the presence of sulfuric acid. All the reductive carbohydrates can be detected indirectly by the fluorescence of Ce(III) produced. The addition of sodium triphate enhances the sensitivity of the method by more than 10-folds. Under optimum conditions, an excellent linear relationship was obtained between the fluorescence intensity and the concentration of carbohydrates. The limits of detection lie in the range of 9.3 x 10(-10) - 1.3 x 10(-9) mol/L. As compared to the normal fluorimetric method, the proposed method is faster and more sensitive.

Radiolytic formation of Ce(IV) in aqueous solutions of Ce(III) chelates with aminopolycarboxylic acids

Gamma -radiolysis of alkaline solutions of Ce(III) chelates with aminopolycarboxylic acids of different sizes like ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA) and iminodiacetic acid (IDA) revealed that OH radicals selectively attack the ligands probably due to a molecular kinetic effect rather than a steric one. The low G (CH₂O) values are ascribed to the reaction of CH₂O with H₂O₂.     

Highly Sensitive Fluorescence Optode Based on Polymer Inclusion Membranes for Determination of Al(III) Ions

This paper reports the use of a polymer inclusion membranes (PIMs) for direct determination of Al(III) ions in natural water by using a fluorescence based optode. The best composition of the PIMs consisted of 60 wt.% (m/m) poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC) as the base polymer, 20 wt.% (m/m) triton X-100 as an extractant, 20 wt.% (m/m) dioctyl phthalate (DOP) as plasticizer and morin as the reagent, was used in this study. The inclusion of triton X-100 was used for enhancing the sorption of Al(III) ions from liquid phase into the membrane phase, thus increasing the optode fluorescence intensity. The optimized optode was characterized by a linear calibration curve in the range from 7.41?×?10^?7 to 1.00?×?10^?4 molL^?1 of Al(III), with a detection limit of 5.19?×?10^?7 molL^?1. The response of the optode was 4 min and reproducible results were obtained for eight different membranes demonstrated good membrane stability. The optode was applied to the determination of Al(III) in natural water samples. The result obtained is comparable to atomic absorption spectrometry method.     

Determination of Iron(III) by Room Temperature Ionic Liquids/Surfactant Sensitized Fluorescence Quenching Method

A new method for the determination of iron (III) has been described. The analytical procedure was based on the fluorescence quenching of salicylfluorone (SAF) by iron (III) and the fluorescence quenching value (ΔF) could be increased in the medium of room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) (1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium ethyl sulfate)/SDS (sodium dodecyl sulfate). The main factors influencing the fluorescence quenching (ΔF) were investigated in detail. Under the optimal conditions, the linear equation was [Formula: see text](c:μg·mL(-1), r?=?0.9936). The linear range of calibration curve was 0.2-1.1 μg·mL(-1) and the detection limit was 8.3 ng·mL(-1). The preliminary sensitized mechanism was discussed with distribution coefficient and fluorescence quantum yield in different media. The method has been applied to the determination of Fe (III) in water samples with satisfactory results.

Water-soluble and stable CdTe quantum dots were synthesized in aqueous solution with thioglycolic acid as the stabilizer. A spectrofluorometric method for the determination of iron (II) has been developed based on quenching of the fluorescence of CdTe quantum dots by iron (II) in aqueous solutions. It can perform an accurate and simple determination of iron (II) concentration in water samples.

The limit of detection for iron (II) was found to be 1.2 × 10^?8 mol/L. As an application, the proposed method was successfully applied to the analysis of iron (II) in water samples, and the results were satisfactory.     

Sensitive Determination of Norfloxacin by the Fluorescence Probe of Terbium (III)- Sodium Dodecylbenzene Sulfonate and Its Luminescence Mechanism

The fluorescence system of the norfloxacin-Tb³⁺- sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate (SDBS) was investigated in this paper. The experiments indicated that the fluorescence intensity of the Tb³⁺-SDBS was greatly enhanced by the norfloxacin. On the basis of the above findings, a sensitive fluorimetric method for determining the norfloxacin was established. The fluorescence intensity was measured by a 1-cm quartz cell with the excitation wavelength of 290 nm and the emission wavelength of 545 nm. The enhanced fluorescence intensity of the system (Δ F) showed a good linear relationship with the concentration of norfloxacin in the range of 5.0×10⁻⁹ mol L⁻¹–2.0×10⁻⁶ mol L⁻¹, its correlation coefficient was 0.9991 and the detection limit (S/N=3) was 1.2×10⁻⁹ mol L⁻¹. The presented method was used to determine the norfloxacin in real pharmaceutical samples. The luminescence mechanism was also discussed in detail. In the fluorescence system of the norfloxacin-Tb³⁺-SDBS, the SDBS not only acted as the surfactant, but also acted as the energy donor.     

Influence of Fe(III) on the Fluorescence of Lysozyme: a Facile and Direct Method for Sensitive and Selective Sensing of Fe(III)

Lysozyme is widely used for the synthesis of nanomaterials (e.g., gold nanoparticle) to fluorescently sense metal ions. However, the effect of metal ions on the fluorescence of lysozyme is not studied yet. Herein, we have explored the interactions of lysozyme with different metal ions to develop a direct sensing platform for Fe(III). It has been observed that the fluorescence of lysozyme was slightly decreased in the presence of Cu(II), Hg(II), As(V), Co(II), Cd(II), Cr(II), Fe(II), Mn(II), Pb(II), and Zn(II), while a significant decrease in the lysozyme fluorescence was observed for Fe(III). The effect of thermal stability on the fluorescence quenching was also studied from 25 to 60 °C. In the present study, the lysozyme sensing probe was able to selectively and accurately detect 0.5–50 ppm of Fe(III) with a LOD of 0.1 ppm (1.8 µM) at 25 °C.

Spectroscopic Determination of Heparin Sodium Using Europium (III) as a Probe Ion

Abstract

A sensitive, rapid, accurate and precise procedure for the microdetermination of heparin sodium in bulk, in injection and in blood serum. The procedure was built around the fact that heparin possesses many active binding sites; carboxylic, hydroxylic, amino and sulphonated groups, which are strongly bound to Eu³⁺ ions. Such binding enhances the europium emission at 616 nm which is a forbidden transition. The emission of europium at 592 nm comes from a non hypersensitive transition and is not affected by the ligand which is bound to europium ions. The intensity ratio R, defined as I₅₉₂/I₆₁₆ was used to determine the amount of free and bound europium ions. There is a linear relationship between bound europium ions and heparin sodium within the concentration range 1–12 ug. mL^?1 (0.07–0.84 USP. IN). Reaction conditions were studied and percentage recoveries was 99.77 ± 1.68. The relative stability of the complex was 1.2E⁵ and the correlation coefficient was 0.99923. Heparin was isolated from serum using ECTEOLA-cellulose and Sephadex G25 columns. The method shows good agreement with an anilinonaphthalene-1-sulfonate (ANS) and protamine fluorometric method.

Bis-Benzimidazolyl Diamide Based Fluorescent Probe for Copper(II): Synthesis, Structural and Fluorescence Studies

A new fluorescent probe based on a bis-benzimidazole diamide N ²,N ^2′-bis[(1-ethyl-benzimidazol-2-yl)methyl]biphenyl-2,2′-dicarboxamide ligand L ₁ with a biphenyl spacer group and a Copper(II) trinuclear metallacycle has been synthesized and characterized by X-ray single crystallography, elemental and spectral (FT-IR, ¹H & ¹³C NMR, UV-Visible) analysis. The fluorescence spectra of L ₁ in MeOH show an emission band centered at 300 nm. This band arises due to benzimidazolyl moiety in the ligating system. The diamide L ₁ in the presence of Cu²⁺ show the simultaneous ‘quenching’ of (300 nm) and ‘enhancement’ of (375 nm) emission band. Similar fluorescence behavior was found in water–methanol mixture (9:1). The new emission band at 375 nm is attributed to intra ligand π–π* transition of the biphenyl moiety. L ₁ exhibited high selectivity and sensitivity towards Cu²⁺ in both the medium over other common metal ions like Ni²⁺, Co²⁺, Mn²⁺, Mg²⁺, Zn²⁺, Pb²⁺ and Hg²⁺. The binding constant with Cu²⁺ was calculated by the Benesi-Hildebrand equation. Selective “off-on-off” behavior of L ₁ in methanol has also been studied. The fluorescent intensity of 375 nm bands in L ₁ enhances (turns-on) upon addition of Cu²⁺ and quenches (turn-off) upon addition of Na₂-EDTA.     

Flow Injection Kinetic Spectrophotometric Determination of Cerium Based on the Decolorization Reaction Between Arsenazo III and Cerium (IV)

ABSTRACT

Trace amounts of cerium were analyzed by flow injection kinetic spectrophotometry, based on the decolorization reaction between arsenazo III and Ce(IV) in sulfuric acid medium at room temperature. The absorbance difference (ΔA) of decolorization was linear with the concentration of Ce(IV). The flow injection technique was used to precisely control the timing. Under the optimum conditions, the determination of Ce(IV) in the range 0.0–8.0 µg mL^?1 with a correlation coefficient (r) of 0.9982, the regression equation was ΔA = 0.0014 + 0.0406c (µg mL^?1). The detection limit (3σ) of 0.2 µg mL^?1 was achieved at a sampling frequency of 60 h^?1. The proposed method was applied to the analyses of Ce in soil successfully.
