A water-soluble sulfonate-BODIPY dye1was developed for the selective detection of HOCl/OCl−in aqueous buffer solution. The probe, which displays extremely weak fluorescence owing to efficient photoinduced electron transfer (PeT) from the pendant catechol donor, responds to HOCl/OCl−through a dramatic enhancement of its fluorescence intensity.

A water-soluble fluorescent probe (C-GGH) was used for the highly sensitive and selective detection of cyanide (CN−) in aqueous media based on the displacement strategy. Due to the presence of the recognition unit GGH (Gly-Gly-His), the probeC-GGH can coordinate with Cu2+and consequently display ON-OFF type fluorescence response. Furthermore, thein situformed nonfluorescentC-GGH-Cu2+complex can act as an effective OFF-ON type fluorescent probe for sensing CN−anion. Due to the strong binding affinity of CN−to Cu2+, CN−can extract Cu2+fromC-GGH-Cu2+complex, leading to the release ofC-GGH and the recovery of fluorescent emission of the system. The probeC-GGH-Cu2+allowed detection of CN−in aqueous solution with a LOD (limit of detection) of 0.017 μmol/L which is much lower than the maximum contaminant level (1.9 μmol/L) for CN−in drinking water set by the WHO (World Health Organization). The probe also displayed excellent specificity for CN−towards other anions, including F−, Cl−, Br−, I−, SCN−,PO43-,N3-,NO3-, AcO−,SO42-, andCO32-.

A novel sensing system has been designed for the detection of cupric ions. It is based on the quenched fluorescence signal of carbon dots (CDs), which were carbonized from poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP) and L-Cysteine (CYS). Cupric ions interact with the nitrogen and sulfur atoms on surface of the CDs to form an absorbed complex; this results in strong quenching of the fluorescence of the CDs via a fast metal-to-ligand binding affinity. The synthesized water-soluble CDs also exhibited a quantum yield of 7.6%, with favorable photoluminescent properties and good photostability. The fluorescence intensity of the CDs was very stable in high ionic strength (up to 1.0 M NaCl) and over a wide range of pH levels (2.0–12.0). This facile method can therefore develop a sensor that offers reliable, fast, and selective detection of cupric ions with a detection limit down to 0.15 μM and a linear range from 0.5 to 7.0 μM (R2 = 0.980). The CDs were used for cell imaging, observed that they were low toxicity to Tramp C1 cells and exhibited blue and green and red fluorescence under a fluorescence microscope. In summary, the CDs exhibited excellent fluorescence properties, and could be applied to the selective and sensitive detection of cupric ion and multicolor cell imaging.
