A Fluorescent Turn-On Probe Based on Benzo [E] Indolium for Cyanide Ion in Water With High Selectivity

Abstract

A highly selective fluorescent turn-on probe for CN(-) bearing a benzo [e] indolium group as a fluorophore and binding site was reported. The detection of CN(-) was performed via the nucleophilic attack of CN(-) toward the benzo [e] indolium group of the probe, resulting in a prominent fluorescence enhancement and an obvious color change. The probe shown a highly selectivity in water and could be performed in a range of pH value between 6 and 9. The detection limit was 4.6 × 10(-8) M, which could be detected CN(-) in drinking water. A simple paper test strip system for the rapid monitoring of CN(-) was developed.

Two new rhodamine‐based fluorescent chemosensors for Fe3+ in aqueous solution

“…Many fluorescent sensors for Fe 3+ detection could only be used in solution, which would limit their application under special circumstances such as on‐site detection in situ . To demonstrate the practical application of our sensor, we prepared test papers of sensor 2 . It was easily prepared by immersing a filter paper into a solution of 2 in CH 2 Cl 2 (1 mM) and then drying in air.…”

Detection of multiple analytes (CN− and F−) based on a simple pyrazine-derived chemosensor in aqueous solution: Experimental and theoretical approaches

“…7a). A noticeable decrease of the absorption band at 447 nm suggests that the transition of ICT might be interrupted from the nucleophilic addition reaction of CN − to 1 [23]. If one looks carefully into the UV-vis titration in Fig.…”

Research Progress of Fluorescent Molecular Probe for Cyanide Ion

“…The detection limit of is 0.45μg/L. Sun [26] developes a high selectivity of 'turn-on' type fluorescent probe P8, P8 is based on being loaded on benzoindoles as fluorescent group and bonding site. is identified by the nucleophilic reaction of and benzoindoles kation group, the process is companied with the obviously fluorescence enhanced and color changed.…”
