SPECTROCHIMICA ACTA. PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2024; 317:124420. [PMID: 38728848 DOI: 10.1016/j.saa.2024.124420] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/07/2024] [Revised: 04/22/2024] [Accepted: 05/05/2024] [Indexed: 05/12/2024]
Abstract
As common pollutants, Cu2+ and glyphosate pose a serious threat to human health and the ecosystem. Herein, a fluorescent probe (E)-7-(diethylamino)-N'(4-(diethylamino)-2-hydroxybenzyl)-2-oxo-2H chromophore-3-carbazide (DDHC) was designed and synthesised for the sequential recognition of Cu2+ and glyphosate. DDHC has the advantages of a short synthesis path, easy-to-obtain raw materials, good anti-interference ability, and strong stability. The interaction of the DDHC-Cu2+ complexes with glyphosate allows the amino and carboxyl groups in glyphosate molecules to coordinate with Cu2+ strongly, competing for the Cu2+ in the DDHC-Cu2+ complexes and releasing the DDHC, leading to the recovery of fluorescence. The recognition was further validated through Job's plot, HRMS, and DFT calculations. In addition, the successful recovery of Cu2+ and glyphosate in different environmental water samples fully demonstrates the practical application potential of DDHC. Especially, DDHC has low cytotoxicity and can enter zebrafish and HeLa cells, rapidly reacting with Cu2+ and glyphosate in the body, generating visible fluorescence quenching and recovery phenomena, achieving real-time visual monitoring of exogenous Cu2+ and glyphosate in zebrafish and HeLa cells. The targeting and dual selectivity of DDHC greatly enhance its potential application value in the field of detection, providing important theoretical support for studying the fate of multiple pollutants in the environment.

Abstract
A chitosan-based Cu2+ fluorescent probe was designed and synthesized independently using the C-2-amino group of chitosan with 1, 8-naphthalimide derivatives. A series of experiments were conducted to characterize the optical properties of the grafted probe. The fluorescence quenching effect was investigated based on the interactions between the probe and common metals. It was found that the proposed probe displayed selective interaction with Cu2+ over other metal ions and anions, reaching equilibrium within 5 min.

Abstract
Iron ions play a crucial role in the environment and the human body. Therefore, developing an effective detection method is crucial. In this paper, we report CNS2, a chitosan-based fluorescent probe utilizing naphthalimide as a fluorophore. CNS2 is designed to "quench" its own yellow fluorescence through the specific binding of compounds containing enol structures to Fe3+. Studying the fluorescence lifetime of CNS2 in the presence or absence of Fe3+ reveals that the quenching mechanism is static. The presence of multiple recognition sites on the chitosan chain bound to Fe3+ gave CNS2 rapid recognition (1 min) and high sensitivity, with a detection limit as low as 0.211 μM. Moreover, the recognition of Fe3+ by CNS2 had a good specificity and was not affected by interferences. More importantly, in this study, CNS2 was successfully utilised to prepare fluorescent composite membranes and to detect Fe3+ in real water samples and a variety of food samples. The results show that the complex sample environment still does not affect the recognition of Fe3+ by CNS2. All the above experiments obtained more satisfactory results, which provide strong support for the detection of Fe3+ by the probe CNS2 in practical applications.

Abstract
Artificial aggregation-induced emission luminogens (AIEgens) have flourished in bio-applications with the development of synthetic chemistry, which however are plagued by issues like singularity in structures and non-renewability. The unique structures and renewability of biomass moieties can compensate for these drawbacks, but their properties are hard to design and regulate due to their confined structures. Therefore, it appears to be a reasonable approach to derive AIEgens from abundant biomass (BioAIEgens), integrating the bilateral advantages of both synthetic and natural AIEgens. In this work, the blue-violet emissive coumarin with its lactone structure serving as a rare natural acceptor, is utilized to construct donor-π-acceptor typed BioAIE isomers incorporating the propeller-like and electron-donating triphenylamine (TPA) unit. The results show that Cm-p-TPA undergoes charge transfer with its keto form, emitting red light at 600 nm, which can be applied to monitor Cu2+ concentration during mitophagy using fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy because of the excellent biocompatibility, photostability, and specific recognition to Cu2+ . This work not only demonstrates the feasibility of utilizing positional isomerization to modulate excited-state evolutions and resultant optical properties, but also provides evidence for the rationality of constructing biologically-active BioAIEgens via a biomass-derivatization concept.

Alginate-modified surfactants functionalized metal-organic framework-based fluorescent film sensors for detection and adsorption of volatile aldehydes in water. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 259:129080. [PMID: 38161018 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.129080] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/19/2023] [Revised: 12/09/2023] [Accepted: 12/18/2023] [Indexed: 01/03/2024]
Abstract
Volatile aldehydes have an adverse impact on both human health and the environment, therefore, a fast, straightforward, highly accurate detection technique for the simultaneous detection and removal of several aldehydes is eagerly anticipated. Herein, novel APGF@ZIF-8 and APOF@ZIF-8 sensing materials were developed by coating fluorescent alginate-modified surfactants (APGF and APOF) into the ZIF-8 MOFs to produce quite porous fluorescent sensors (SBET up to 1519 m2/g). The detection capacity of the prepared sensors for benzaldehyde, glyoxal, formaldehyde, and acetaldehyde has been examined. The detection mechanism was suggested as hydrogen bonding formation between the sensors and volatile aldehydes as confirmed by Gaussian calculations. All the fluorescence spectra of aldehydes display remarkable linear detection relationships in the range of 0.05-200 μM with the limits of detection (LOD) values in the range of 0.001-0.18 μM (0.106-10.44 ppb). These sensors were utilized successfully to detect multiple volatile aldehydes in river water samples with satisfactory recoveries of 96-107 %. Interestingly, fluorescent APGF@ZIF-8/CS and APOF@ZIF-8/CS films as portable disposable removal techniques for benzaldehyde, glyoxal, formaldehyde, and acetaldehyde from water were fabricated. APOF@ZIF-8/CS exhibited an excellent formaldehyde adsorption capacity of 58.30 mg/g and an adsorption removal efficiency of 93.5 %. The adsorption process of biosorbent on various aldehydes was fitted by Freundlich adsorption isotherm. The adsorption kinetics followed Pseudo-second-order kinetic model.

Abstract
The development of effective methods for tracking Cu2+ and H2S in living organisms is urgently required due to their vital function in a variety of pathophysiological processes. In this work, a new fluorescent sensor BDF with excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) and aggregation-induced emission (AIE) features for the successive detection of Cu2+ and H2S was constructed by introducing 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenylacetonitrile into the benzothiazole skeleton. BDF showed a fast, selective and sensitive fluorescence "turn off" response to Cu2+ in physiological media, and the situ-formed complex can serve as a fluorescence "turn on" sensor for highly selective detection of H2S through the Cu2+ displacement approach. In addition, the detection limits of BDF for Cu2+ and H2S were determined to be 0.05 and 1.95 μM, respectively. Encouraged by its favourable features, including strong red fluorescence from the AIE effect, large Stokes shift (285 nm), high anti-interference ability and good function at physiological pH as well as a low toxicity, BDF was successfully applied for the consequent imaging of Cu2+ and H2S in both living cells and zebrafish, making it an ideal candidate for detecting and imaging of Cu2+ and H2S in live systems.
