A Sensitive Ratiometric Fluorescent Sensor for Zinc(II) with High Selectivity
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new fluorescent Zn²⁺ chemosensor (P1) based on a functionalized porphyrin was synthesized and characterized. P1 displayed dramatic ratiometric variations in absorption and fluorescent emission spectra upon exposure to Zn²⁺ due to the formation of a 1:1 Zn²⁺/P1 complex. The sensor also exhibited high selectivity and sensitivity toward Zn²⁺ over other common metal ions in the physiological pH range with a detection limit of 1.8 mM. The sensor showed fast response times and excellent reproducibility, thus confirming its potential applicability as a fluorescent sensor for Zn²⁺ sensing.

A new "naked-eye" and ratiometric fluorescent zinc sensor (TAQ) of carboxamidoquinoline with 2-chloro-N-(quinol-8-yl)-acetamide as a receptor was designed and synthesized. The sensor shows good water solubility and high selectivity for sensing; about a 15-fold increase in fluorescence quantum yield and a 100 nm red-shift of fluorescence emission upon binding Zn²⁺ in aqueous HEPES buffer solutio...

In a neutral aqueous environment, a new ratiometric Cd2+ fluorescent sensor 1a can successfully discriminate Cd2+ from Zn2+ by undergoing two different internal charge transfer (ICT) processes, and the high selectivity of sensor 1a to Cd2+ over some other metals was also observed. Moreover, through structure derivation and a series of NMR studies, the unique role of the 2-picolyl group (the par...

متن کاملGenetically encoded ratiometric biosensors to measure intracellular exchangeable zinc in Escherichia coli.
Zinc is an essential element for numerous cellular processes, therefore zinc homeostasis is regulated in living organisms. Fluorescent sensors have been developed as important tools to monitor the concentrations of readily exchangeable zinc in live cells. One type of biosensor uses carbonic anhydrase (CA) as the recognition element based on its tunable affinity, superior metal selectivity, and ...
