Abstract
In this study, a new fluorescent sensor dicyanoisophorone Rhodanine-3-acetic acid (DCI-RDA) (DCI-RDA) has been developed by employing a DCI-based push–pull dye as the fluorophore and RDA as the recognition moiety for the simultaneous sensing of Fe3+ and Hg2+ with a large Stokes Shift (162 nm), high selectivity and sensitivity, and low LOD (1.468 μM for Fe3+ and 0.305 μM for Hg2+). In particular, DCI-RDA has a short response time (30 s). The Job's plot method in combination with 1H NMR titration and theoretical calculations was used to determine the stoichiometry of both DCI-RDA-Fe3+/Hg2+ complexes to be 1 : 1. Moreover, DCI-RDA is applied as a fluorescent probe for imaging in HeLa cells and zebrafish, indicating that it can be potentially applied for Fe3+/Hg2+ sensing in the field of biology.
