Abstract
Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-capped 1-pyrenecarboxaldehyde nanoparticles (PyalNPs) were prepared using a reprecipitation method in an aqueous medium and exhibited red-shifted aggregation-induced enhanced emission (AIEE). The dynamic light scattering (DLS) examination showed narrower particle size distribution with an average particle size of 41 nm, whereas -34.5 mV zeta potential value indicate the negative surface charge and good stability of nanoparticles (NPs) in an aqueous medium. The AIEE was seen at λmax = 473 nm in a fluorescence spectrum of a PyalNP suspension. In the presence of Cu2+ ions, the fluorescence of PyalNPs quenches very significantly, even in the presence of other metal ions like Ba2+ , Ca2+ , Cd2+ , Co2+ , Al3+ , Fe2+ , Hg2+ , Ni2+ and Mg2+ . The changes in the fluorescence lifetime of PyalNPs in the presence of Cu2+ ions suggested that the type of quenching was dynamic. The fluorescence quenching data for the NPs suspension fitted well into a typical Stern-Volmer relationship in the concentration range 1.0-25 μg/ml of Cu2+ ions. The estimated value of the correlation coefficient R2 = 0.9877 was close to 1 and showed the linear relationship between quenching data and Cu2+ ion concentration. The limit of detection (LOD) was found to be 0.94 ng/ml and is far below the tolerable intake limit value of 1.3 μg/ml accepted by the World Health Organization for Cu2+ ions in drinking water. The fluorescence quenching approach for a SDS-capped Pyal nanosuspension for copper ion quantification is of high specificity and coexisting ions were found to interfere very negligibly. The developed method was successfully applied for the estimation of copper ions in river water samples.
