The CX showed selective fluorescence recognition for CN-, the miscellaneous competitive anions (F-, Cl-, Br-, I-, AcO-, H2PO4, HSO4, ClO4, S2-, PO4^3-, CO3^2- and SCN- ) did not lead to any significant interference. The detection limit of the sensor towards CN is 1.15 × 10^-7 mol.L- 1. The sensor has been successfully applied to estimate the cyanide ion in seeds of cherries. Test strips based on CX were fabricated, which could be used as a convenient and efficient CN test kit to detect CN in aqueous solution for "in-the-field" measurement.展开更多

First, some copper ions were added to the colorless aque- ous solution of DDTC-Na. Then, the resultant brown solution was studied upon the addition of different anions, including Cl-, I-, IO3-, SO42-, NO-2, Br-, H2PO4-, F-, SCN-, HSO-4, ClO-4 and CN-. It was observed by naked eyes that the brown solution changed to colorless immediately after the addition of the trace cyanide, but there were no changes towards other anions, making DDTC-Na a good selective cyanide chemosensor in pure water.展开更多

文摘We synthesized a new cyanide (CN-) chemosensor CX based on a nucleophilic addition reaction prompted by cyanide ion, which could be used for highly selective and sensitive fluorescence turn-on detection of cyanide in aqueous media. The CX showed selective fluorescence recognition for CN-, the miscellaneous competitive anions (F-, Cl-, Br-, I-, AcO-, H2PO4, HSO4, ClO4, S2-, PO4^3-, CO3^2- and SCN- ) did not lead to any significant interference. The detection limit of the sensor towards CN is 1.15 × 10^-7 mol.L- 1. The sensor has been successfully applied to estimate the cyanide ion in seeds of cherries. Test strips based on CX were fabricated, which could be used as a convenient and efficient CN test kit to detect CN in aqueous solution for "in-the-field" measurement.
文摘Chemosensor arrays have a great potential for on-site applications in real-world scenarios.However,to fabricate on chemosensor array a number of chemosensors are required to obtain various optical patterns for multianalyte detection.Herein,we propose a minimized chemosensor array composed of only two types of carboxylate-functionalized polythiophene derivatives for the detection of eight types of metal ions.Upon recognition of the metal ions,the polythiophenes exhibited changes in their fluorescence intensity and various spectral shifts.Although both chemosensors have the same polymer backbone and recognition moiety,only the difference in the number of methylene groups contributed to the difference in the fluorescence response patterns.Consequently,the metal ions in aqueous media were successfully discriminated qualitatively and quantitatively by the chemosensor microarray on the glass chip.This study offers an approach for achieving a minimized chemosensor array just by changing the alkyl chain lengths without the necessity for many receptors and reporters.

文摘Sodium diethyldithiocarbamate (DDTC-Na) was demonstrated to be a new colorimetric cyanide chemosensor by utilizing an indirect trick. First, some copper ions were added to the colorless aque- ous solution of DDTC-Na. Then, the resultant brown solution was studied upon the addition of different anions, including Cl-, I-, IO3-, SO42-, NO-2, Br-, H2PO4-, F-, SCN-, HSO-4, ClO-4 and CN-. It was observed by naked eyes that the brown solution changed to colorless immediately after the addition of the trace cyanide, but there were no changes towards other anions, making DDTC-Na a good selective cyanide chemosensor in pure water.
