Simultaneous bioimaging recognition of cation Al3+ and anion F− by a fluorogenic method
2016
Abstract A new highly selective and sensitive chemosensor 1 for both Al 3+ and F − was designed and synthesized. 1 could detect both Al 3+ and F − with turn-on fluorescence behavior in a nearly perfect aqueous solution. The binding stoichiometry of receptor 1 with Al 3+ and F − was proposed to be 1:1, respectively, based on Job plot, 1 H NMR titration and ESI-mass spectrometry analysis. The detection limits (1.12 μM for Al 3+ and 7.01 μM for F − ) of 1 for Al 3+ and F − were lower than the World Health Organization guidelines (7.41 μM for Al 3+ and 79 μM for F − ) for drinking water. Chemosensor 1 was also successfully applied to living cells for simultaneous detection and quantification of both Al 3+ and F − . Moreover, the sensing mechanisms of 1 toward Al 3+ and F − were explained by theoretical calculations.
