Highly sensitive and selective optical chemosensor for determination of Cu2+ in aqueous solution

A highly selective and sensitive rhodamine-based colorimetric chemosensor (1) for quantification of divalent copper in aqueous solution has been investigated in this work. It was designed using salicylaldehyde hydrazone and rhodamine 6G as copper-chelating and signal-reporting groups, respectively. In environmentally friendly media (50% (v/v) water/ethanol and 10 mM NaAc–HAc neutral buffer (pH 7.0)), the sensor exhibited selective absorbance enhancement to Cu²⁺ over other metal ions at 529 nm, with a dynamic working range of 0.05–5.00 μM and a detection limit of 10 nM Cu²⁺, respectively. To achieve fluorometric determination of Cu²⁺, the Cu²⁺-induced absorbance enhancement of 1 was efficiently converted to fluorescence quenching by fluorescence inner filter effects using rhodamine B (RB) as a fluorophore. The selectivity and sensitivity of fluorescence analysis were similar to those of absorptiometric measurement. Both absorptiometric and fluorometric methods were successfully applied to the detection of Cu²⁺ in three water samples.     

11-Mercaptoundecanoic acid functionalized gold nanoclusters as fluorescent probes for the sensitive detection of Cu2+ and Fe3+ ions

Metal ions are physiologically essential,but excessive metal ions may cause severe risk to plants and animals.Here,we prepared gold nanoclusters(Au NCs) protected by 11-mercaptoundecanoic acid(11-MUA),which have excellent fluorescence properties for the detection of metal ions.The results showed that the copper ions(Cu~(2+)) and iron ions(Fe~(3+)) in the solution have obvious quenching effect on the fluorescence intensity of Au NCs.The detection range of Fe~(3+) was 0.8–4.5 mmol/L(R~2= 0.992) and 4.5–11.0 mmol/L(R~2= 0.997).And Cu~(2+) has a lower linear range(0.1–1.0 mmol/L,R2= 0.993).When EDTA was added into the reaction system,it was observed that the quenching effect of Cu~(2+) and Fe~(3+)on Au NCs showed different phenomenon.Then,the effect of metal ions on the fluorescence of Au NCs was investigated.The selective detection of Cu~(2+) was achieved by EDTA masking of Fe~(3+).In addition,we realized the metal ions detection application of Au NCs in the serum     

Electrochemical detection of DNA hybridization using methylene blue and electro-deposited zirconia thin films on gold electrodes

A novel electrochemical DNA biosensor based on methylene blue (MB) and zirconia (ZrO₂) thin films modified gold electrode for DNA hybridization detection is presented. Zirconia thin films were electrodynamically deposited onto the bare gold electrode in an aqueous electrolyte of ZrOCl₂ and KCl by cycling the potential between −1.1 and +0.7 V (versus Ag/AgCl) at a scan rate of 20 mV s⁻¹. Oligonucleotide probes with phosphate group at the 5′ end were attached onto the zirconia thin films because zirconia is affinity for phosphoric group. The surface density of the immobilized DNA molecules at the zirconia interface was investigated by fluorescence spectroscopy method. Hybridization was induced by exposure of the ssDNA-containing Au electrode to complementary ssDNA in solution. The decreases in the peak currents of MB, an electroactive label, were observed upon hybridization of probe with the target. The cathodic peak current (i_p) of MB after hybridization with the target DNA was linearly related to the logarithmic value of the target DNA concentration ranging from 2.25×10⁻¹⁰ to 2.25×10⁻⁸ mol l⁻¹. A detection limit of 1.0×10⁻¹⁰ mol l⁻¹ of oligonucleotides can be estimated.     

Cation selectivity of ionophores based on tripodal thiazole derivatives on benzene scaffold

The synthesis and potentiometric evaluation of new 1,3,5-tris(thiazolylcarbethoxy)-2,4,6-trimethylbenzene (3), 1,3,5-tris(thiazolylhydroxy)-2,4,6-trimethylbenzene (4), 1,3,5-tris(thiazolylmethyl)-2,4,6-trimethylbenzene (5), and 1,3,5-tris(thiazolylphenyl)-2,4,6-trimethylbenzene (6), toward mono and divalent cations under various pH conditions are outlined. The ion-selective properties of the newly synthesized compounds were studied by measuring the potentiometric responses of the 3-, 4-, 5-, and 6-based membrane electrodes to alkali metal, alkaline earth metal, ammonium, and transition metal ions, under various pH conditions. The 3-based electrode exhibited a Nernstian response to ammonium and potassium under alkaline pH conditions, while the other three electrodes showed a poor potentiometric performance. All electrodes showed substantial responses to silver ion under acidic condition, but there was almost nil response to other transition metal ions (Fe²⁺, Co²⁺, Zn²⁺, Ni²⁺, Pb²⁺, Cd²⁺, Cu²⁺ and Hg²⁺). The 3- and 5-based electrodes resulted in near Nernstian responses (51.3 mV and 59.5 mV/pAg⁺, respectively) with low detection limits (100 ppt), while the 4- and 6-based ones showed sub-Nernstian below 40 mV/pAg⁺. The results were interpreted with semi-empirically modeled structures.     

Fluorescent peptide sensor for the selective detection of Cu

A new fluorescent peptidyl chemosensor for Cu²⁺ ions with fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) capabilities has been synthesized via Fmoc solid-phase peptide synthesis. The metal chelating unit, which is flanked by the fluorophores tryptophan (donor) and dansyl chloride (acceptor), consists of the amino acids glycine and aspartic acid (Gly-Gly-Asp-Gly-Gly-Asp-Gly-Gly-Asp-Gly-Gly-Asp-Gly-Gly). Coordination of the Cu²⁺ ions to the metal chelating unit results in fluorescent quenching of both the donor and acceptor fluorophores. Although it was determined that Cu²⁺ binding causes no change in FRET efficiency, emission and Cu²⁺-induced quenching of the acceptor dye can be used to monitor the concentration of the copper ions, with a detection limit of 32 μg L⁻¹. The sensor also demonstrated sensitivity, reversibility and selectivity towards Cu²⁺ in a transition metal matrix at pH 7.0.

It has a fast response time and can be used for at least 2 months without any major deviation. The proposed sensor revealed very good selectivities for Cu²⁺ over a wide variety of other metal ions and could be used in the pH range of 3.0–7.0. It was successfully used for direct determination of copper in black tea and as an indicator electrode in potentiometric titration of copper ion.

Selective determination of dopamine in the presence of high concentration of ascorbic acid using nano-Au self-assembly glassy carbon electrode

The cysteamine (CA) was bound onto surface of the pretreated glassy carbon electrode (GC) with cyclic voltammetry (CV). Gold nanoparticles were self-assembled to the electrode binding with cysteamine via strong AuS covalent bond to fabricate the nano-Au self-assembled modified electrode (nano-Au/CA/GC). The modified electrode was characterized with cyclic voltammetric and ac impedance methods. The electrochemical behavior of dopamine (DA) on the modified electrode was investigated with cyclic voltammetry and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). A well-defined redox peaks of DA on the nano-Au/CA/GC electrode were obtained at E_pa = 0.175 V and E_pc = 0.146 V (vs. SCE), respectively. The peak current of DA is linear with the concentration of DA in the range of 1.0 × 10⁻⁸ mol L⁻¹ to 2.5 × 10⁻⁵ mol L⁻¹, with the correlation coefficient of 0.998. The detection limit is 4.0 × 10⁻⁹ mol L⁻¹ (S/N = 3). The modified electrode exhibited an excellent reproducibility, sensibility and stability for determination of DA in the presence of high concentration AA, and can be applied to determinate dopamine injection, with satisfied result.     

Highly Sensitive and Selective Chemosensor for Cu2+ Based on a Schiff Base

A new chemosensor based on a Schiff base has been designed and synthesized. Its sensing behavior toward various metal ions was investigated by fluorescence and UV-Vis spectroscopic methods. The fluorescence of the sensor was quenched and the color rapidly changed from canary yellow to brown after the addition of Cu²⁺, while no changes occurred after the addition of other metal ions, which contributes to the detection of Cu²⁺ with naked eyes. The fluorescence quantum yield of the ligand was calculated to be 0.52. The corresponding detection limit of Cu²⁺ was 5.721×10^-7 mol/L, and the 1:1 binding mode of the sensor with Cu²⁺ was revealed by Job's plot.     

基于碳点的荧光纳米开关灵敏检测Cu(Ⅱ)离子和焦磷酸盐

利用羟基与氨基在高温条件下反应,不断聚合生成碳点（CDs）,该碳点可发射不依赖激发波长的明亮的红色荧光.将CDs作为目标敏感荧光团时,发现Cu²⁺可特异性猝灭碳点的荧光,而焦磷酸盐（PPi）可在一定程度上恢复上述体系的荧光.其中,Cu²⁺对CDs的荧光猝灭是由于Cu²⁺与CDs发生络合反应,从而发生静态猝灭过程;而加入PPi之后,由于它与CDs的结合能力更强,因此Cu²⁺离开CDs的表面,体系的荧光得以恢复.在此基础上构建了一种高选择性、高灵敏度的off-on荧光纳米开关传感体系,分别用于Cu²⁺和PPi的定量检测,检出限分别达2.14 μmol/L和1.85 μmol/L.该传感体系可应用于实际样品检测,拓宽了荧光CDs的传感应用,为其在生物体内目标分子的检测提供了可能性.

Tuning plasmon absorption of unmodified silver nanoplates for sensitive and selective detection of copper ions by introduction of ascorbate

Silver nanoplates as novel optical sensors for Cu^2＋ detection have been demonstrated.Silver nanoplates are synthesized via previous H_2O_2-NaBH_4 cyclic oxidation-reduction reactions.With introduction of ascorbate as mild reductants,Cu^2＋ ions are reduced into Cu~＋ and the Cu^＋ is further reduced to Cu,which is deposited on the surface of the silver nanoplates.The deposition of the Cu on the surface of the silver nanoplates allows a significant red-shift of their plasmon absorption.Therefore,trace Cu^2＋ can be detected.The shift of the plasmon absorption wavelength of silver nanoplates is proportional to the Cu^2＋concentration over a range of 40-340 μmol L~（-1） with a limit of detection of 9.0 μmol L~（-1）.Moreover,such silver nanoplate-based optical sensors provide good selectivity for Cu^2＋ detection,and most other metal ions do not disturb its detection.Moreover,the practicality of the proposed sensor was tested.This Cu^2＋assay is advantageous in its simplicity,selectivity,and cost-effectiveness.     

Electron transfer of quinone self-assembled monolayers on a gold electrode

Dialkyl disulfide-linked naphthoquinone, (NQ-C_n-S)₂, and anthraquinone, (AQ-C_n-S)₂, derivatives with different spacer alkyl chains (C_n: n = 2, 6, 12) were synthesized and these quinone derivatives were self-assembled on a gold electrode. The formation of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of these derivatives on a gold electrode was confirmed by infrared reflection-absorption spectroscopy (IR-RAS). Electron transfer between the derivatives and the gold electrode was studied by cyclic voltammetry. On the cyclic voltammogram a reversible redox reaction between quinone (Q) and hydroquinone (QH₂) was clearly observed under an aqueous condition. The formal potentials for NQ and AQ derivatives were −0.48 and −0.58 V, respectively, that did not depend on the spacer length. The oxidation and reduction peak currents were strongly dependent on the spacer alkyl chain length. The redox behavior of quinone derivatives depended on the pH condition of the buffer solution. The pH dependence was in agreement with a theoretical value of E_1/2 (mV) = E′ − 59pH for 2H⁺/2e⁻ process in the pH range 3–11. In the range higher than pH 11, the value was estimated with E_1/2 (mV) = E′ − 30pH , which may correspond to H⁺/2e⁻ process. The tunneling barrier coefficients (β) for NQ and AQ SAMs were determined to be 0.12 and 0.73 per methylene group (CH₂), respectively. Comparison of the structures and the alkyl chain length of quinones derivatives on these electron transfers on the electrode is made.     

A naphthalimide–calixarene as a two-faced and highly selective fluorescent chemosensor for Cu or F

A new naphthalimide–calix[4]arene was synthesized as a two-faced and highly selective fluorescent chemosensor for Cu²⁺ or F⁻. This chemosensor displayed a selective fluorescence quenching effect only with Cu²⁺ among the various metal ions. On the other hand, among the various anions, the title chemosensor displayed a selective fluorescence quenching effect only with F⁻. The binding mode with F⁻ was further investigated using fluorescence changes and ¹H NMR experiments.     

Ultrasensitive electrogenerated chemiluminescence detection of DNA hybridization using carbon-nanotubes loaded with tris(2,2′-bipyridyl) ruthenium derivative tags

An ultrasensitive electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) detection method of DNA hybridization based on single-walled carbon-nanotubes (SWNT) carrying a large number of ruthenium complex tags was developed. The probe single strand DNA (ss-DNA) and ruthenium complex were loaded at SWNT, which was taken as an ECL probe. When the capture ss-DNA with a thiol group was self-assembled onto the surface of gold electrode, and then hybridized with target ss-DNA and further hybridized with the ECL probe to form DNA sandwich conjugate, a strong ECL response was electrochemically generated. The ECL intensity was linearly related to the concentration of perfect-matched target ss-DNA in the range from 2.4 × 10⁻¹⁴ to 1.7 × 10⁻¹² M with a detection limit of 9.0 × l0⁻¹⁵ M. The ECL signal difference permitted to discriminate the perfect-matched target ss-DNA and two-base-mismatched ss-DNA. This work demonstrates that SWNT can provide an amplification platform for carrying a large number of ECL probe and thus resulting in an ultrasensitive ECL detection of DNA hybridization.

Simple inhibition tests are described for acid phosphatase, phosphodiesterase I and adenosine deaminase. From 23 different metals tested, the following ions affect the enzymes' activity (detection limits in 0.5 ml synthetic solution): inhibition of acid phosphatase: Hg²⁺ (0.1 mg/l) and Cu²⁺ (0.7 mg/l), inhibition of phosphodiesterase I: Be²⁺ (8 μg/l) and Cd²⁺ (0.9 mg/l), activation of phosphodiesterase I: Mg²⁺ (3 mg/l) and Zn²⁺ (2 mg/l), inhibition of adenosine deaminase: Hg²⁺ (25 μg/l), Cu²⁺ (70 μg/l) and Co²⁺ (0.8 mg/l), respectively. For phosphodiesterase the interfering effect of inhibition and activation has been investigated. In a surface water sample, matrix effects caused by complexing agents in the organic matrix suppress the inhibition.
