Abstract A new benzothiazole-based chemosensor BTN (1-((Z)-(((E)-3-methylbenzo[d]thiazol-2(3H)-ylidene)hydrazono)methyl)naphthalen-2-ol) was synthesized for the detection of Cu2+. BTN could detect Cu2+ with “off-on” fluorescent response from colorless to yellow irrespective of presence of other cations. Limit of detection for Cu2+ was determined to be 3.3 µM. Binding ratio of BTN and Cu2+ turned out to be a 1:1 with the analysis of Job plot and ESI-MS. Sensing feature of Cu2+ by BTN was explained with theoretical calculations, which might be owing to internal charge transfer and chelation-enhanced fluorescence processes.

Optimized Conditions

Since hydrogen peroxide plays an important role in various fields, a facile, simple, highly selective, and stable analytic method for H2O2 is desirable. Semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) have acted as a potential alternative for organic fluorophores in fluorescence analytical fields due to their superior optical properties. Herein, we report hydrophilic p-hydroxy thiophenol (p-HTP) coated CdSe/ZnS QDs (denoted as p-HTP-QDs) acting as a selective fluorescence ‘turn-on’ probe for H2O2 in aqueous media. The obtained p-HTP-QD probe exhibits weak fluorescence, which stems from hole transfer from the QDs to p-HTP. The presence of H2O2 induces an oxidative structural transformation of p-HTP in p-HTP-QDs from a phenol structure to an α-hydroxy ketone derivative, which extremely reduces the driving force for hole transfer. Thus, the QDs photoluminescence (PL) was re-switched on. Under optimized conditions, an excellent linear relationship between fluorescence response and H2O2 concentration could be produced with a linear range from 0.309 to 4.900mM. The limit of detection of this probe was found to be 0.135mM. Moreover, the present probe exhibited a high selectivity of H2O2 over other reactive oxygen species/reactive nitrogen species (ROS/RNS) and was successfully used in the detection of H2O2 in real water samples.
