A bifunctional sensor based on diarylethene for the colorimetric recognition of Cu²⁺ and fluorescence detection of Cd².

ABSTRACT: A novel bifunctional sensor based on diarylethene with a benzyl carbazate unit was synthesized successfully. It not only served as a colorimetric sensor for the recognition of Cu²⁺ by showing changes in absorption spectra and solution color, but also acted as a fluorescent sensor for the detection of Cd²⁺ through obvious emission intensity enhancement and fluorescence color change. The sensor exhibited excellent selectivity and sensitivity towards Cu²⁺ and Cd²⁺, and the limits of detection for Cu²⁺ and Cd²⁺ were 8.36 × 10^-8 mol L^-1 and 1.71 × 10^-7 mol L^-1, respectively, which were much lower than those reported by the WHO and EPA in drinking water. Furthermore, its application in practical samples demonstrated that the sensor can be effectively applied for the detection of Cu²⁺ and Cd²⁺ in practical water samples.

A solvent-dependent chemosensor for fluorimetric detection of Hg2+ and colorimetric detection of Cu2+ based on a new diarylethene with a rhodamine B unit.

Project description:A novel solvent-dependent chemosensor 1o based on a diarylethene containing a rhodamine B unit has been designed. It could be used as a dual-functional chemosensor for selective detection of Hg2+ and Cu2+ by monitoring the changes in the fluorescence and UV-vis spectral in different solvents. A striking fluorescence enhancement at 617 nm was observed in DMSO upon the addition of Hg2+. However, 1o showed a remarkable absorption band appeared with maximum absorption at 555 nm after the addition of Cu2+ in THF. The results of ESI-MS spectra and Job's plot confirmed a 1 : 1 binding stoichiometry between 1o and the two ions. The limits of detection of Hg2+ and Cu2+ were determined to be 0.14 μM and 0.51 μM, respectively. A 1 : 2 demultiplexer circuit was constructed by using UV light as data input, Cu2+ as the address input, and the absorbance at 555 nm and the absorbance ratio of (A 603/A 274) as the dual data outputs.

Fluorescence "Turn-Off" and Colorimetric Sensor for Fe2+, Fe3+, and Cu2+ Ions Based on a 2,5,7-Triarylimidazopyridine Scaffold.

Project description:Two cyanoimidazopyridine-based sensors (SS1 and SS2) were explored for the colorimetric and fluorometric detection of Fe2+, Fe3+, and Cu2+ ions in the semi-aqueous medium. The "turn-off" fluorescence response of both sensors to these ions was due to the restriction in internal charge transfer. Job's plot and semi-empirical calculations revealed that SS1 and SS2 complexed with Cu2+ ions in a 1:1 ratio and Fe2+/3+ ions in a 2:1 ratio, respectively. The sensors were found to have high binding constant (K a) values and low detection limit values. FMO analysis using the semi-empirical quantum mechanics method revealed the decrease in energy gap after complexation with metal ions. Sensor-coated filter paper strips were prepared and analyzed, where the color changes in the strips could be utilized for the real-time detection of Fe2+, Fe3+, and Cu2+ ions.

Bifunctional Cu2+/Fe3+ Probe with Independent Signal Outputs Based on a Photochromic Diarylethene with a Dansylhydrazine Unit.

Project description:A novel dual-response fluorescent sensor based on a diarylethene photoswitching unit and a dansylhydrazine functional group has been synthesized. The compound exhibited high selectivity for Fe3+ and Cu2+ with independent fluorescence signal outputs. In the presence of Fe3+, the sensor formed a 1:1 metal complex, resulting in a remarkable "turn-off" fluorescence signal. On the other hand, its fluorescence intensity was notably enhanced (turn-on) and a color change from bright yellow to bright blue was observed when the sensor interacted with Cu2+, which was due to the hydrolysis reaction of the dansyl acid dye, as confirmed by high-resolution mass spectrometry-electrospray ionization and infrared spectrum. The detection limits were 9.73 × 10-8 mol L-1 for Fe3+ and 3.49 × 10-7 mol L-1 for Cu2+, respectively. From the unimolecular platform, two molecular logic circuits were constructed using the fluorescence emission intensity at 557/494 nm (Fe3+/Cu2+) as the outputs and the combined stimuli of Fe3+/ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, Cu2+, and UV/vis as the inputs. In addition, the sensor was successfully used to determine Fe3+ in water samples from Ganjiang River and soil samples from Nanchang fields.

Monitoring leaching of Cd2+ from cadmium-based quantum dots by an Cd aptamer fluorescence sensor.

Project description:Quantum Dots (QDs) have been demonstrated with outstanding optical properties and thus been widely used in many biological and biomedical studies. However, previous studies have shown that QDs can cause cell toxicity, mainly attributable to the leached Cd2+. Therefore, identifying the leaching kinetics is very important to understand QD biosafety and cytotoxicity. Toward this goal, instrumental analyses such as inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) have been used, which are time-consuming, costly and do not provide real-time or spatial information. To overcome these limitations, we report herein a fast and cost-effective fluorescence sensor based a Cd2+-specific aptamer for real-time monitoring the rapid leaching kinetics of QDs in vitro and in living cells. The sensor shows high specificity towards Cd2+ and is able to measure the Cd2+ leached either from water-dispersed CdTe QDs or two-layered CdSe/CdS QDs. The sensor is then used to study the stability of these two types of QDs under conditions to mimic cellular pH and temperature and the results from the sensor are similar to those obtained from ICP-MS. Finally, the sensor is able to monitor the leaching of Cd2+ from QDs in HeLa cells. The fluorescence aptamer sensor described in this study may find many applications as a tool for understanding biosafety of numerous other Cd-based QDs, including leaching kinetics and toxicity mechanisms in living systems.

A turn-on fluorescence sensor for the highly selective detection of Al3+ based on diarylethene and its application on test strips.

Project description:A novel turn-on fluorescent sensor for Al3+ based on photochromic diarylethene with a 2-hydroxybenzhydrazide unit has been successfully designed and synthesized. The photochromic and fluorescent characteristics were studied methodically in methanol under irradiation using UV/vis light and induced by Al3+/EDTA. This fluorescent sensor was highly selective toward Al3+ with an obvious fluorescent color change from dark blue to blue. The Job's plot and mass spectrometry (MS) analysis indicate a binding stoichiometry of 1 : 1 between the fluorescent sensor and Al3+. Moreover, a test strip containing this fluorescent sensor was prepared to allow for the easy detection of Al3+ in water. Finally, a logic circuit was designed using four input signals (In1: UV; In2: vis; In3: Al3+; In4: EDTA) and one output signal.

A bis-benzimidazole PMO ratiometric fluorescence sensor exhibiting AIEE and ESIPT for sensitive detection of Cu2.

Project description:A novel bis-benzimidazole organic siloxane precursor (BBM-Si) was prepared, and was combined with tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) as a mixed Si source. Then, bridged periodic mesoporous organosilica (BBM-PMO) spherical nanoparticles were synthesized by co-condensation using cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) as structure directing agent. The optical properties showed that BBM qualifies as an "aggregation induced emission enhanced" (AIEE) molecule, exhibiting characteristics of excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT), such as a large Stokes shift and dual fluorescence emission. For the BBM-PMO materials, the silica skeleton provides a rigid environment that limits molecular rotation, resulting in improved fluorescence emission. In particular, the BBM-PMOs exhibited dual emission of the enol and keto forms, achieving a ratiometric response to Cu2+ with high sensitivity and selectivity in a broad pH range. Additionally, the limit of detection was as low as 7.15 × 10-9 M in aqueous solution. The X-ray absorption near-edge spectroscopy (XANES) showed the coordination structure through the interaction between copper ions and N atoms of benzimidazole in the BBM-PMO coordinated to Cu2+. These results demonstrate that BBM-PMO hybrid materials have potential applications in the fields of bio-imaging and environmental monitoring.

Lysosome-Targeting Fluorescence Sensor for Sequential Detection and Imaging of Cu2+ and Homocysteine in Living Cells.

Project description:A conjugated polymer-based fluorescence sensor, namely, PTNPy, was constructed on the basis of a polythiophene scaffold coupled with dimethylpyridylamine (DPA) groups in side chains for the consecutive detection and quantification of Cu2+ and Hcy in a perfect aqueous medium. A dramatic fluorescence quenching of PTNPy by the addition of Cu2+ was observed in Tris-HCl buffer solution (2 mM, pH 7.4), demonstrating a quick (<1 min) and highly selective response to Cu2+ with a low limit of detection of 6.79 nM. Subsequently, the Cu2+-quenched fluorescence of PTNPy can be completely recovered by homocysteine (Hcy), showing excellent selectivity to Hcy over other competitive species such as cysteine and glutathione. Thanks to the low cytotoxicity and lysosomal targeting ability of PTNPy, it was further applied as an optical sensor for the sequential imaging of Cu2+ and Hcy in HeLa cells. More importantly, Hcy concentration was linearly related to the fluorescence intensity of PTNPy in living cells, demonstrating huge potential for real-time monitoring the fluctuation of Hcy levels in living cells.

A novel diarylethene-based fluorescent "turn-on" sensor for the selective detection of Mg2.

Project description:A new photochromic diarylethene derivative with a 4-methylphenol unit has been designed and synthesized. It displayed distinct photochromism and fluorescent ''turn on'' features to Mg2+ in acetonitrile solution. With the addition of Mg2+, there was an obvious increase of fluorescent emission intensity at 552 nm, accompanied by a clear change of fluorescent color from dark purple to green. Meantime, the 1 : 1 stoichiometry between the derivative and Mg2+ was verified by Job's plot and HRMS. Furthermore, the sensor was successfully applied in the detection of Mg2+ in practical samples. Moreover, based on the multiple-responsive fluorescence switching behaviors, it also could be used to construct a molecular logic circuit with UV/vis lights and Mg2+/EDTA as input signals and the emission at 552 nm as the output signal.

A highly selective fluorescence "turn-on" sensor for Ca2+ based on diarylethene with a triazozoyl hydrazine unit.

Project description:A new photochromic diarylethene derivative with a triazozoyl hydrazine unit has been designed and synthesized. Its photochromism and photoswitchable fluorescence behaviors were studied systematically by the stimuli of lights and chemical substances in acetonitrile solution. With the addition of Ca2+, the emission intensity enhanced 6.7 fold, accompanied by an obvious fluorescent color change from dark to light blue. The complexation between the derivative and Ca2+ is reversible with the 1 : 1 stoichiometry, which was verified by Job's plot and MS. The limit of detection (LOD) for Ca2+ was determined to be 2.49 × 10-8 mol L-1. Based on this unimolecular platform, a logic circuit was designed with fluorescence intensity at 482 nm as the output and the combined stimuli of UV/vis and Ca2+/EDTA as four inputs.

Its multiple-responsive properties induced by Zn2+/EDTA and ultraviolet/visible light have been systematically studied. The fluorescence sensor could efficiently detect Zn2+ with a 10 times enhancement of emission intensity and fluorescence color change (dark-green). In addition, the sensor showed clear discrimination from Cd2+. The limit of detection of the sensor was measured to be 8.48 × 10-8 mol L-1 for Zn2+. Finally, a molecular logic circuit was fabricated with the emission at 528 nm as the output signal and light and chemical stimuli as input signals.
