As an effective ingredient of disinfectants, ClO À inevitably remains in water, which induces potential health hazards such as lung damage and kidney disease. In this study, we synthesized stimulus-responsive dual-ligand luminol-Tb-GMP coordination polymer nanoparticles (luminol-Tb-GMP CPNPs) as highly selective fluorescent probes for the real-time and visual detection of ClO À . CPNPs consist of Tb 3+ , a nuclear metal, that coordinates with GMP and luminol, an auxiliary ligand. GMP can be oxidized by ClO À and damage its structure, resulting in fluorescence quenching of CPNPs. The two-ligand CPNPs sensor has a rapid fluorescent response, significant fluorescent color change, and high sensitivity, with a linear range of 2-18 μM and a detection limit of 0.14 μM. It has been successfully used to detect ClO À in tap water, fountain water, and drinking water. Simultaneously, the portable filter paper strip was prepared to expand the range of applications outside the laboratory, which will provide a promising application for the real-time and semiquantitative analysis of ClO À .
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
