Abstract
Thiodiglycolic acid (TDGA) is a biomarker for monitoring vinyl chloride exposure. Exploring a facile, rapid and precise analysis technology to quantify TDGA is of great significance. In this research, we demonstrate a fluorescent sensor based on dual-emissive UiO-66 for TDGA detection. This ratiometric fluorescent material named C460@Tb-UiO-66-(COOH)2 was designed and synthesized by introducing organic dye 7-diethylamino-4-methylcoumarin (C460) and Tb3+ into UiO-66-(COOH)2. The as-obtained C460@Tb-UiO-66-(COOH)2 samples showed highly selective recognition, excellent anti-interference and rapid response characteristics for the recognition of TDGA. The detection limit is 0.518 mg·mL-1, which is much lower than the threshold of 20 mg·mL-1 for a healthy person. In addition, the mechanism of TDGA-induced fluorescence quenching is discussed in detail. This sensor is expected to detect TDGA content in human urine.
