In this report, a fluorescent sensing method for paraquat based on gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) is proposed. It was found that paraquat could quench both glutathione-capped AuNCs (GSH-AuNCs) and β-cyclodextrin-modified GSH-AuNCs (GSH/β-CDs-AuNCs). The modification of β-CDs on the surface of GSH-AuNCs obviously enhanced the fluorescence intensity of GSH-AuNCs and improved the sensitivity of paraquat sensing more than 4-fold. This sensibilization was ascribed to the obvious fluorescence intensity enhancement of GSH-AuNCs by β-CDs and the “host–guest” interaction between paraquat and β-CDs. The fluorescence quenching was mainly due to the photoinduced energy transfer (PET) between GSH/β-CDs-AuNCs and paraquat. With the optimized β-CDs modification of the GSH-AuNC surfaces and under buffer conditions, the fluorescent detection for paraquat demonstrated a linear response in the range of 5.0–350 ng/mL with a detection limit of 1.2 ng/mL. The fluorescent method also showed high selectivity toward common pesticides. The interference from metal ions could be easily masked by ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA). This method was applied to the measurement of paraquat-spiked water samples and good recoveries (93.6–103.8%) were obtained. The above results indicate that host molecule modification of fluorescent metal NC surfaces has high potential in the development of robust fluorescent sensors.

Two Schiff base ligands (HL1, HL2) were synthesized as fluorescent sensors for Zn2+ or Cd2+. With an ethoxyl group, HL1 can distinguishingly sense Zn2+ and Cd2+, while HL2 exclusively responds to Zn2+.

[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] The main topic of this dissertation focuses on development of analytical methods, mainly modification and application of metal nanoclusters in fluorescence-based sensing. Based on bovine serum albumin passivated gold nanoclusters (AuNCs@BSA) we firstly developed a fluorescent biosensor platform, combining cholesterol oxidase with assistance of surfactant, for selective detection of water insoluble analyte, cholesterol in aqueous condition. Moreover, we designed a series of modification strategy to enhence thermal reversibility of AuNCs@BSA, aiming at reducing hysteresis remained during thermal cycles. Taking advantage of optimized thermal reversibility in terms of fully recoverable fluorescence intensity, analytical performance of modified AuNCs@BSA was investigated and an aqueous-phase temperature sensor was achieved. In addition to AuNCs, we developed novel glutathione stabilized copper NCs with green-emission in assistance of ascorbic acid reduction, which showed great resistance to nitro compounds. Further, analytical application of as-prepared Cu NCs to ratiometric sensing on explosive molecules, cooperating with AuNCs@BSA, was investigated. In the last, a novel and facile temperature mapping method using ionic liquid and organic fluorescent molecular rotor were described. Making use of viscosity-sensitive fluorescent dye, temperature was converted to ratio value of fluorescence intensity and recorded, enabling visualized thermal map.

A bifunctional sensor for colorimetric recognition of Cu2+ and fluorescent detection of Cd2+ was synthesized. It not only showed high selectivity and sensitivity to Cu2+ and Cd2+, but also could be used in practical water samples with high accuracy.
