An Inorganic Fluorescent Chemosensor: Rational Design and Selective Mg²⁺ Detection.

ABSTRACT: A Zn²⁺ based complex, 3, displays greatly increased fluorescence emission in the presence of Mg²⁺. Fluorescent and computational studies suggest that 3 selectively interacts with Mg²⁺ due to optimal cavity size formation between two uncoordinated pyrazole side arms. This work thus represents a new approach to the development of fluorescent chemosensors.

Highly selective fluorescent chemosensor for Zn2+ derived from inorganic-organic hybrid magnetic core/shell Fe3O4@SiO2 nanoparticles.

Project description:Magnetic nanoparticles with attractive optical properties have been proposed for applications in such areas as separation and magnetic resonance imaging. In this paper, a simple and novel fluorescent sensor of Zn2+ was designed with 3,5-di-tert-butyl-2-hydroxybenzaldehyde [DTH] covalently grafted onto the surface of magnetic core/shell Fe3O4@SiO2 nanoparticles [NPs] (DTH-Fe3O4@SiO2 NPs) using the silanol hydrolysis approach. The DTH-Fe3O4@SiO2 inorganic-organic hybrid material was characterized by transmission electron microscopy, dynamic light scattering, X-ray power diffraction, diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform, UV-visible absorption and emission spectrometry. The compound DTH exhibited fluorescence response towards Zn2+ and Mg2+ ions, but the DTH-Fe3O4@SiO2 NPs only effectively recognized Zn2+ ion by significant fluorescent enhancement in the presence of various ions, which is due to the restriction of the N-C rotation of DTH-Fe3O4@SiO2 NPs and the formation of the rigid plane with conjugation when the DTH-Fe3O4@SiO2 is coordinated with Zn2+. Moreover, this DTH-Fe3O4@SiO2 fluorescent chemosensor also displayed superparamagnetic properties, and thus, it can be recycled by magnetic attraction.

Highly selective fluorescent chemosensor for detection of Fe(3+) based on Fe3O4@ZnO.

Project description:The combination of fluorescent nanoparticles and specific molecular probes appears to be a promising strategy for developing fluorescent nanoprobes. In this work, L-cysteine (L-Cys) capped Fe3O4@ZnO core-shell nanoparticles were synthesized for the highly selective detection of Fe(3+). The proposed nanoprobe shows excellent fluorescent property and high selectivity for Fe(3+) due to the binding affinity of L-Cys with Fe(3+). The binding of Fe(3+) to the nanoprobe induces an apparent decrease of the fluorescence. Thus a highly selective fluorescent chemosensor for Fe(3+) was proposed based on Fe3O4@ZnO nanoprobe. The magnetism of the nanoprobe enables the facile separation of bound Fe(3+) from the sample solution with an external magnetic field, which effectively reduces the interference of matrix. The detection limit was 3 nmol L(-1) with a rapid response time of less than 1 min. The proposed method was applied to detect Fe(3+) in both serum and wastewater samples with acceptable performance. All above features indicated that the proposed fluorescent probe as sensing platform held great potential in applications of biological and analytical field.

Rational design of a macrocyclic-based chemosensor for anions.

Project description:A macrocyclic-based fluorescence chemosensor has been designed and synthesized from the reaction of dansyl chloride and a hexaaminomacrocycle containing four secondary and two tertiary amines. The new chemosensor has been examined for its binding ability toward phosphate, sulfate, nitrate, iodide, bromide, chloride, and fluoride by fluorescence spectroscopy in DMSO. The results indicate that the compound binds each of the anions with a 1:1 stoichiometry, showing high affinity for the oxoanions, chloride and iodide with the binding constants up to four orders of magnitude. Ab initio calculations based on density functional theory (DFT) suggest that the ligand is deformed in order to encapsulate an anion, and each anion, except fluoride, is bonded to the macrocycle through two NH…X(-) and four CH…X(-) interactions.

Newly developed Mg2+-selective fluorescent probe enables visualization of Mg2+ dynamics in mitochondria.

Project description:Mg(2+) plays important roles in numerous cellular functions. Mitochondria take part in intracellular Mg(2+) regulation and the Mg(2+) concentration in mitochondria affects the synthesis of ATP. However, there are few methods to observe Mg(2+) in mitochondria in intact cells. Here, we have developed a novel Mg(2+)-selective fluorescent probe, KMG-301, that is functional in mitochondria. This probe changes its fluorescence properties solely depending on the Mg(2+) concentration in mitochondria under physiologically normal conditions. Simultaneous measurements using this probe together with a probe for cytosolic Mg(2+), KMG-104, enabled us to compare the dynamics of Mg(2+) in the cytosol and in mitochondria. With this method, carbonyl cyanide p-(trifluoromethoxy) phenylhydrazone (FCCP)-induced Mg(2+) mobilization from mitochondria to the cytosol was visualized. Although a FCCP-induced decrease in the Mg(2+) concentration in mitochondria and an increase in the cytosol were observed both in differentiated PC12 cells and in hippocampal neurons, the time-courses of concentration changes varied with cell type. Moreover, the relationship between mitochondrial Mg(2+) and Parkinson's disease was analyzed in a cellular model of Parkinson's disease by using the 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium ion (MPP(+)). A gradual decrease in the Mg(2+) concentration in mitochondria was observed in response to MPP(+) in differentiated PC12 cells. These results indicate that KMG-301 is useful for investigating Mg(2+) dynamics in mitochondria. All animal procedures to obtain neurons from Wistar rats were approved by the ethical committee of Keio University (permit number is 09106-(1)).

A multi-functional chemosensor for highly selective ratiometric fluorescent detection of silver(I) ion and dual turn-on fluorescent and colorimetric detection of sulfide.

Project description:A multi-functional chemosensor 1 as silver and sulfide detector was synthesized by the combination of octopamine and 4-dimethylaminocinnamaldehyde. Sensor 1 exhibited a ratiometric fluorescence emission for Ag+ from blue to sky. The binding mode of 1 and Ag+ turned out to be a 1 : 1 ratio as determined using Job plot and electrospray ionization (ESI) mass spectral analyses. The sensing mechanism of 1 with silver ion was unravelled by 1H NMR titrations and theoretical calculations. Sensor 1 also discerned sulfide by enhancing fluorescence intensity and changing colour from yellow to colourless in aqueous solution. The sensing properties of 1 toward S2- were investigated by using ESI-mass analysis, Job plot and 1H NMR titrations. Moreover, 1 could be used as a detector for sulfide in a wide pH range.

A Pentapeptide with Tyrosine Moiety as Fluorescent Chemosensor for Selective Nanomolar-Level Detection of Copper(II) Ions.

Project description:Herein, we have investigated principally with the use of UV and fluorescence (steady-state and time-resolved) spectroscopy the interactions between selected pentapeptides with tyrosine residue (EYHHQ, EHYHQ, EHHQY, and KYHHE) and various metal ions (Cu2+, Mn2+, Co2+, Ni2+, Zn2+, Cr3+, Cd2+, Ag+, Pb2+, Sr2+, Ba2+, Ca2+, Mg2+, Al3+, Fe2+, and Ga3+) in order to establish the relationship between the position of a tyrosine residue in the peptide sequence and the metal ion-binding properties. Among the peptides studied, EHYHQ was evaluated as an efficient and selective ligand for developing a chemosensor for the detection of copper(II) ions. While significant fluorescence emission quenching was observed for that peptide in the presence of Cu2+ cations, other metal cations used at the same and at considerably higher concentrations caused a negligible change of the fluorescence emission spectrum, indicating a high selectivity of EHYHQ for Cu2+ ions. Under optimum conditions, fluorescence intensity was inversely proportional to the concentration of Cu2+ ions. The limit of detection of Cu2+ ions with the use of EHYHQ was determined at the level of 26.6 nM. The binding stoichiometry of the complexes of the studied peptides with Cu2+ ions was evaluated spectrophotometrically and fluorimetrically (as in the case of EHYHQ confirmed by mass spectrometry) and found to be 1:2 (Cu2+-peptide) for all the investigated systems. Furthermore, the stability constant (K) values of these complexes were determined. The reversibility of the proposed Cu2+ ions sensor was confirmed, the pH range where the sensor acts was determined, while its analytical performance was compared with some other reported recently fluorescent sensors. The mechanism of the interactions between EHYHQ and Cu2+ was proposed on the basis of NMR spectroscopy investigations.

Cost-Effective and Selective Fluorescent Chemosensor (Pyr-NH@SiO2 NPs) for Mercury Detection in Seawater.

Project description:The release of mercury into the environment has adverse effects on humans and aquatic species, even at very low concentrations. Pyrene and its derivatives have interesting fluorescence properties that can be utilized for mercury (Hg2+) ion sensing. Herein, we reported the highly selective pyrene-functionalized silica nanoparticles (Pyr-NH@SiO2 NPs) for chemosensing mercury (Hg2+) ions in a seawater sample. The Pyr-NH@SiO2 NPs were synthesized via a two-step protocol. First, a modified Stöber method was adopted to generate amino-functionalized silica nanoparticles (NH2@SiO2 NPs). Second, 1-pyrenecarboxylic acid was coupled to NH2@SiO2 NPs using a peptide coupling reaction. As-synthesized NH2@SiO2 NPs and Pyr-NH@SiO2 NPs were thoroughly investigated by 1H-NMR, FTIR, XRD, FESEM, EDS, TGA, and BET surface area analysis. The fluorescent properties were examined in deionized water under UV-light illumination. Finally, the developed Pyr-NH@SiO2 NPs were tested as a chemosensor for Hg2+ ions detection in a broad concentration range (0-50 ppm) via photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. The chemosensor can selectively detect Hg2+ ions in the presence of ubiquitous ions (Na+, K+, Ca2+, Mg2+, Ba2+, Ag+, and seawater samples). The quenching of fluorescence properties with Hg2+ ions (LOD: 10 ppb) indicates that Pyr-NH@SiO2 NPs can be effectively utilized as a promising chemosensor for mercury ion detection in seawater environments.

Rational design of inorganic dielectric materials with expected permittivity.

Project description:Techniques for rapid design of dielectric materials with appropriate permittivity for many important technological applications are urgently needed. It is found that functional structure blocks (FSBs) are helpful in rational design of inorganic dielectrics with expected permittivity. To achieve this, coordination polyhedra are parameterized as FSBs and a simple empirical model to evaluate permittivity based on these FSB parameters is proposed. Using this model, a wide range of examples including ferroelectric, high/low permittivity materials are discussed, resulting in several candidate materials for experimental follow-up.

On/Off Fluorescent Chemosensor for Selective Detection of Divalent Iron and Copper Ions: Molecular Logic Operation and Protein Binding.

Project description:Here, naphthalene diamine-based β-diketone derivative (compound LH) was successfully used as a dual signaling probe for divalent cations, Fe2+ and Cu2+ ions, in bimodal methods (colorimetric and fluorometric). It showed fluorescent enhancement for Fe2+ ion by photoinduced electron transfer mechanism and fluorescence quenching for Cu2+ ion by charge-transfer process. Binding stoichiometry for [LH-(Fe2+)2] and [LH-(Cu2+)2] was found to be 1:2 by Job's plot method and, the binding constants were calculated as 1.6638 × 1010 and 9.22929 × 108 M-1, respectively. Compound LH exhibited OR and XOR logic gate behavior with H+, Fe2+, and Cu2+ as inputs. Further, the compound LH and bovine serum albumin binding interaction showed quenching of fluorescence by Förster resonance energy-transfer mechanism.
