DOI: 10.6023/cjoc201709020 Published: 31 October 2017 Abstract (782) PDF (1105KB)(1374) Knowledge map Among the numerous bio-active species which are involved in the various chemical reactions in our body, reactive oxygen species (ROS) are a class of important biological species, which are oxidative. ROS can maintain the intracellular redox balance and are tightly related with the cell growth and death. Hence, the fluorescence detection of intracellular ROS has attracted wide attention. However, owining to the inherent features of ROS, such as the short lifetime and high reactivity, fluorescence analysis of ROS is always faced with some problems, like low selectivity and side reactions. Herein, the development of small molecular fluorescent probes for intracellular ROS over the past decade is summarized, and the design mechanisms and bio-applications of these probes are emphasized.

DOI: 10.6023/cjoc201709040 Published: 17 November 2017 Abstract (880) PDF (1669KB)(1305) Knowledge map A novel CN- chemosensor based N-4-pyridylcoumarin-3-carboxamide derivative Q1 was designed and synthesized. The recognition performance of sensor Q1 for ten different anions was studied by UV and fluorescence spectroscopy. When anions such as CN-, F-, Cl-, Br-, I-, AcO-, H2PO4-,HSO4-,ClO4- and SCN- were added to the mixed solution (DMSO/H2O, V:V=9:1), addition of CN- could increase the absorption peak of Q1 at 304 nm, and the corresponding fluorescence produced a strong emission peak at 431 nm. Q1 solution with CN- emitted strong blue fluorescent that can be easily observed by naked eyes. The color changed (from colorless to faint yellow) and the "Turn-On" fluorescence behavior suggested that Q1 could detect CN- by dual-channel. Happily, the fluorescent limit of detection (LOD) is 1.44×10-8 mol/L, was lower than the specified content by World Health Organization (WHO) in drinking water. Based on all the experimental facts, we speculated that the possible identification mechanism was that the addition reaction took place between Q1 and CN-, and it can also be confirmed by density functional theory (DFT). This result can be applied to the detection of CN- in cherry kernel.

DOI: 10.6023/cjoc201709017 Published: 01 December 2017 Abstract (493) PDF (3242KB)(983) Knowledge map A turn-on probe, which exhibited highly selective and sensitive signaling behaviors toward Fe3+ over other common metal ions, has been synthesized and confirmed by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, IR and MS. The addition of Fe3+ to the solution of probe induced a remarkable UV-Vis and fluorescence enhancement along with obvious color change detected by the naked eye. The reaction mechanism was also investigated and proposed as that the probe complexed Fe3+ via a 1:1 binding mode, and the subsequent complexation caused the ring-opening of the rhodamine spirolactam and thereby the changes of absorbance and fluorescence. These remarkable properties may allow Fe3+ to be detected directly in the presence of the other examined competing metal ions. Then, cells experiments showed that the probe could permeate through cell membranes and react to Fe3+ within living cells. Additionally, the probe was further used for detecting Fe3+ ions in living mouse which exhibited excellent fluorescence imaging.

EPFC was investigated in terms of structural, fluorescence spectroscopic, UV-Vis spectroscopic and theoretical analysis by using HF/6-31G(d), CIS/6-31G(d) and B3LYP/6-31G(d) methods, respectively. The corresponding product was characterized by NMR and HRESIMS methods. The interactions of the compound with 15 kinds of metal ions (Pb2+, Mn2+, K+, Na+, Ag+, Ca2+, Cd2+, Co2+, Cu2+, Fe3+, Zn2+, Ni2+, Hg2+, Li+ and Mg2+) were investigated by UV absorption spectroscopy and fluorescence spectroscopy. The quantum chemical values suggested that it is easy for EPFC to lose electron with weak electron accepting ability by frontier molecular orbital analysis. The calculated spectra were complimented with experimental measurements in great degree. In addition, a novel rhodamine B derivative containing 1,2,3-triazole unit, and REPFC was successfully designed and synthesized by the reaction between rhodamine B and EPFC. REPFC displayed more selectivity response to Hg2+ ion than other metal ions in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF)-H2O (V/V=1/1, pH 7.4) within a REPFC concentration range of 2.67×10-5~4.67×10-5 mol·L-1 with an fluorescent enhancement and a rapid chemical reaction. The triazole appended colorless chemosensor turns to pink upon complex formation only with Hg2+ions even in the presence of other common metal ions and enables naked-eye detection. The coordination mechanism and turn on/off fluorescence for Hg2+ ions were well proposed by explaining Hg2+ inducing the ring-opened rhodamine B moiety. This study was an advancement for the application of 1,2,3-triazole compound and provides guidance for using simple and high-selectivity Hg2+ probes in aqueous solutions under physiological conditions.

DOI: 10.6023/cjoc201712004 Published: 16 March 2018 Abstract (527) PDF (4125KB)(747) Knowledge map It is well-known that cyanide anion (CN-) is a hypertoxic anion, which can cause adverse effects in both environment and living beings. Thus, it is highly desirable to develop strategies for detecting cyanide, especially in aqueous medium and food. However, due to the short half-life of free cyanide, long analysis time and interference from other competitive anions are general challenges for accurate monitoring of cyanide. Taking advantage of the special nucleophilicity of cyanide, a new colorimetric and fluorescent sensor (Q1-2) was synthesized based on naphtho[2,1-b]furan-2-carbonyl chloride and 2-aminobenzimidazole which designed by tuning the intramolecular hydrogen bonding to affect the π-conjugated efficiency. Upon the addition of cyanide anion, the probe displayed a red-shift in absorption spectra and the fluorescence decreased immediately with the detection limit of 8.0769×10-7 and 1.0510×10-9 mol/L, respectively. Other anions gave nearly no interference. Furthermore, Q1-2 was successfully applied to the naked eye identification for cyanide in the visible light and under the UV lamp in food samples and silica gel plates.

Its maximum emission wavelength was 496 nm. The solution of H1 has yellow-green fluorescence under the UV lamp (365 nm). H1 showed fluorescence-colorimetric dual channel identification ability for Fe3+. With the addition of various metal ions into the H1 solution, only Fe3+ caused the fluorescence of the H1 quenching and the color disappeared. Other cations such as Ag+, Ca2+, Ba2+, Co2+, Ni2+, Cd2+, Pb2+, Zn2+, Cu2+, Mg2+ and Hg2+ could not induce similar response. The results of anti-disturbance experiment demonstrated that other cations can not interfere in the detection of Fe3+.
