AbstractA new rhodamine-based Hg2+-selective fluorescent probe (I) was designed and synthesized. Compound I displays excellent selective and sensitive response to Hg2+ over other transition metal ions in neutral aqueous solutions. I itself is a colorless, nonfluorescent compound. Upon addition of Hg2+ to its solution, the thiosemicarbazide moiety of I undergoes an irreversible desulfurization reaction to form the corresponding 1,3,4-oxadiazole (II), a colorful and fluorescent product, causing instantaneous development of visible color and strong fluorescence emission. Based on this mechanism, a fluorogenic probe for Hg2+ was developed. The fluorescence increases linearly with the Hg2+ concentration up to 0.8 μmol L−1 with the detection limit of 9.4 nmol L− (3σ).

Rhodamine B thiohydrazide (RBS) was firstly employed as turn-on fluorescent probe for hypochlorite in aqueous solution and living cells. It exhibits a stable response to hypochlorite from 1.0×10-6to 1.0×10-5M with a detection limit of 3.3×10-7M. The response of this probe to hypochlorite is fast and highly selective compared with other reactive oxygen species (such as.OH,1O2, H2O2) and other common anions (such as X-, ClO2-, ClO4-, NO3-, NO2-, OH-, Ac-, CO32-, SO42-).

A new fluorescent probe, quinoline derivative DPQ bearing a methyl pyrrolidine-1-carbodithioate group, was synthesized and characterized by IR, Tof-MS and NMR. Its fluorescent behaviors toward transition metal ions were investigated. The results indicate that DPQ shows unique selective and high sensitive for Hg2+ in aqueous solution with a broad pH range 4-10. DPQ forms a 1:2 metal-ligand complex with Hg2+ ions with a limit of detection as low as 1.7×10-6 mol/L.

Colloidal ZnS:Mn nanocrystals (NCs) were synthesized in water by capping the NC surface with conventional amino acids: L-cysteine (Cys) and L-serine (Ser) molecules, which have very similar structures but different terminal functional groups. The optical properties were investigated by using UV-Visible and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. The PL spectra for both ZnS:Mn-Cys and ZnS:Mn-Ser NCs showed broad emission peaks at 590 nm. The measured average particle size from the high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM) images were 4.38 nm (ZnS:Mn-Cys) and 5.57 nm (ZnS:Mn-Ser), which were also supported by Debye-Scherrer calculations. In addition, the surface charge of the NCs in aqueous solutions were measured using zeta-particle size analyzer spectroscopy, which showed formation of negatively charged surface for the ZnS:Mn-Cys (−43.93 mV) and ZnS:Mn-Ser (−8.21 mV) NCs in water. In this present study those negatively charged NCs were applied as photosensors for the detection of specific divalent transition metal cations in aqueous solution at the same condition. Consequently, the ZnS:Mn-Cys and ZnS:Mn-Ser NCs showed totally different photosensor activities upon the addition of first-row divalent transition metal ions. The former NCs showed luminescence quenching for most added metal ions except for Zn (II) ions; whereas the latter NCs showed exclusive quenching effect for Cu (II) ions at the same conditions. These results suggested that those NCs can be applied as Zn2+ and Cu2+ ion sensors in water.
