doi:10.6023/cjoc202507013

摘要/Abstract

本研究基于缺电子芳烃芳香氢亲核取代(SNARH)反应机制, 提出氰基导向的SNARH反应策略, 成功设计并合成了一种新型萘酰亚胺探针Nap-CHCN. 紫外-可见吸收光谱研究表明, 探针与CN^－作用后, 630 nm处出现特征吸收带, 溶液颜色由无色变为蓝色, 检测限低至8.02 μmol/L, 且对CN^－表现出优异的选择性. 核磁滴定实验证实了CN^－诱导的脱质子化识别机制, 而可逆性实验显示探针可通过三氟乙酸(TFA)实现多次循环使用. 实际应用中, 探针在试纸条、食品样本及真实水样中均表现出可靠的CN^－检测能力. 该探针兼具合成简便、高灵敏度及环境适应性, 为复杂体系中CN^－的实时监测提供了有效工具.

A novel naphthalimide-based probe, Nap-CHCN was designed and synthesized based on cyano-directed electron- deficient aromatic nucleophilic substitution of hydrogen (SNARH) reaction mechanism. UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy studies revealed that after interaction with CN^－, a characteristic absorption band appeared at 630 nm, accompanied by a color change of the solution from colorless to blue. The probe demonstrated a low detection limit of 8.02 μmol/L and excellent selectivity for CN^－. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) titration experiments confirmed a CN^－-induced deprotonation recognition mechanism, while reversibility tests showed that the probe could be recycled multiple times using trifluoroacetic acid (TFA). In practical applications, the probe exhibited reliable CN^－ detection capabilities in test strips, food samples, and real water samples. With its simple synthesis, high sensitivity, and environmental adaptability, this probe provides an effective tool for real-time monitoring of CN^－ in complex systems.
