Fluorescence signalling of the transition metal ions: Design strategy based on the choice of the fluorophore component

Transition metal ions are notorious for their fluorescence quenching abilities. In this paper, we discuss the design strategies for the development of efficientoff-on fluorescence signalling systems for the transition metal ions. It is shown that even simplefluorophore-spacer-receptor systems can display excellentoff-on fluorescence signalling towards the quenching metal ions when the fluorophore component is chosen judiciously.     

Host-guest interactions in aqueous media withp-tert.-butylcalix[4]arene bearing polyoxyethylene chains

The interactions ofp-tert.-butylcalix[4]arene bearing polyoxyethylene chains (C3) with pyrene (Py), 1-anilino-8-naphthalenesulfonate (ANS) andN-phenyl-naphthylamine (NPN) in aqueous solution were studied by absorption and fluorescence measurements. Absorption spectral changes and fluorescence enhancements reveal that C3, which has a hydrophobic cavity, can include organic molecules and ions in aqueous solution and form 11 host-guest complexes with ANS and NPN. C3 forms inclusion complexes with Py at different stoichiometries depending on the host: guest molar ratio. Binding constants of 2.2×10⁴, 2.0×10⁴ and 3.6×10⁵ dm³ mol^–1 were calculated for the C3Py, C3ANS and C3NPN complexes (11), respectively, based on the Benesi-Hildebrand equation.Author for correspondence.     

铜(Ⅱ)-邻菲咯啉-(邻菲咯啉-5,6-二酮)络合物的合成及其同脱氧核糖核酸的作用

以邻菲咯啉（phen)、邻菲咯啉－5，6－二酮（dione)为配体首次合成了高氯酸邻菲咯啉－邻菲咯啉－5，6－二酮（Ⅱ）。用荧光光谱，摩尔比，粘度，MLCT减色效应，平衡常数以及荧光能量转移研究了各合物与鱼精子DNA的结合情况，证实了该络合物与DNA存在插入作用。基于络合物对DNA能量转移造成荧光量子产率比值（Φλ/Φ320）的降低，解释了不同波长激发光下，荧光发射峰在加入DNA后产生猝灭和增强两种绝然不同的现象。

固定波长同步荧光光谱参数的理论计算

基于荧光激发光谱和发射光谱对波长呈高斯分布的设定,本文推导出固定波长同步荧光光谱峰峰值位置、相对强度和半峰宽度等3个主要光谱参数的理论计算式。所提出的计算式应用于若干荧光物质光谱参数的计算,并和实测值、文献计算值作了对照。结果表明,和文献计算方法相比,本法与所研究物质的实际光谱参数较为接近,可为固定波长同步荧光光谱参数的理论计算提供一有效方法。     

铬—硫胺素荧光光度法测定铬

荧光法测定铬已有报道,但以氧化还原荧光反应为基础的测定方法尚未见报道。木文研究了铬(Ⅳ)-硫胺素(VB_1)体系,发现在3.5—4.0mol/L的硫酸介质中,铬(Ⅵ)-硫胺素反应生成荧光物质硫胺荧:硫胺素 Cr_2O_7~(2-)?硫胺荧 2Cr~(3 )。硫胺荧的激发波长和发射波长分别为λ_(ex)=405mm,λ_(em)=465nm。可以用来作为Cr(Ⅵ)的荧光定量分析。一般荧光法测定铬的方法虽灵敏度较高,但需有机试剂萃取,手续麻烦。本方法则可直接在水相中进行。     

Effect of 4f-shell excitation of Eu(fod)3 on its complex formation with alicyclic ketones

The complex formation of alicyclic ketones, viz., camphor, cyclohexanone, menthone, and cytisine, with the Eu(fod)₃ chelate (fod is 7,7-dimethyl-1,1,1,2,2,3,3-heptafluorooctane-4,5-dione) in the ground and excited states was studied by chemiluminescence and kinetic luminescence spectroscopy, respectively. The stability constants and thermodynamic parameters of complex formation were determined. An increase in the stability of the electron-excited complexes [Eu(fod)₃*·Ketone] is explained by the enhancement of the acceptor ability of the Eu³⁺ chelate due to an increase in the fraction of the covalent component caused by the involvement of 4f-orbitals. The results obtained give direct evidence for the effect of the 4f-shell excitation of Eu(fod)₃ on complex formation due to the involvement of f-electrons in the chemical bonds.     

Determination of DNA using sodium 9,10-anthraquinone-2-sulfonate as an in situ photochemical fluorescence probe

An in situ photochemical fluorescence probe method for the determination of DNA with sodium 9,10-anthraquinone-2-sulfonate (AQS) as a photochemical fluorescence probe was developed. It was based on the conversion of AQS into an intensively fluorescent product by irradiating with UV radiation. The photochemical reaction is retarded by DNA. The determination can be carried out by measuring the fluorescence intensity at a fixed time. The calibration graph was linear in the range 0–80 ng ml⁻¹ calf thymus (CT) DNA (r = 0.9991), the limit of detection was 3.2 ng ml⁻¹ CT DNA (n = 9). The kinetic behaviour of the photochemical reaction and the effects of experimental conditions were investigated and discussed in detail. The results of absorption spectra and competitive binding experiments suggested the interaction between AQS and DNA to be intercalative.     

Combining synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy with multivariate methods for the analysis of petrol-kerosene mixtures

Synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy (SFS) is a rapid, sensitive and nondestructive method suitable for the analysis of multifluorophoric mixtures. The present study demonstrates the use of SFS and multivariate methods for the analysis of petroleum products which is a complex mixture of multiple fluorophores. Two multivariate techniques principal component regression (PCR) and partial least square regression (PLSR) have been successfully applied for the classification of petrol-kerosene mixtures. Calibration models were constructed using 35 samples and their validation was carried out with varying composition of petrol and kerosene in the calibration range. The results showed that the method could be used for the estimation of kerosene in kerosene-mixed petrol. The model was found to be sensitive, detecting even 1% contamination of kerosene in petrol.
