Colourimetric and fluorescent probes for the optical detection of palladium ions

Abstract

In recent years, the development of optical probes to analyse trace palladium ions (Pd(2+)) has attracted great attention because of the residual palladium released by catalytic converters or from various Pd-catalysed reactions. These residual palladium ions may cause potential health hazards. This review provides a brief introduction to the new methods used to determine trace amounts of Pd(2+), which then mainly focuses on the different reporting systems and unique mechanisms of the colourimetric and fluorescent probes used to detect Pd(2+), including Pd(2+) complex formation or Pd-catalysed reactions.

A novel fluorescence and surface-enhanced Raman scattering dual-signal probe for pH sensing based on Rhodamine derivative

“…More importantly, the rhodamine group with a ring-closed spirolactam unit has been reported able to produce cation triggered "turn-on" fluorescence and SERS signals [21][22][23]. Herein, a M A N U S C R I P T…”

Selective and sensitive SERS sensor for detection of Hg2+ in environmental water base on rhodamine-bonded and amino group functionalized SiO2-coated Au–Ag core–shell nanorods

“…It is well known that R6G-derivative exists isomers with different chemical structures and spectroscopic properties, such as spirocyclic and open-cycle forms. 51,52 In an alkaline environment, most of the -R groups of NR-Rs exist in spirocyclic form, which make less -R groups fall to the "hot spot" of the NRs and the substrates exhibit weak SERS enhancement. On the basis of the surface selection rule, when molecules are perpendicular on the substrate, the SERS signal is stronger.…”

An ESIPT based fluorescent probe for highly selective and ratiometric detection of periodate

“…Only a few efforts come from fluorescence based techniques for quantifying periodate (Badalassi et al, 2000;Ensafi and Bagherian Dehaghi, 2000). Fluorescent probe based technology with the advantage of high selectivity and sensitivity, spatiotemporal resolution and visibility has been viewed as a powerful and versatile toolbox in the field of physiology and molecular biology, environmental monitoring and clinical diagnosis (Chan et al, 2012;de Silva et al, 1997;Li et al, 2013;Stennett et al, 2014). Thus, fluorescent probes based technique is good choice for simultaneous detection of periodate.…”
