Facile aqueous synthesis of functionalized CdTe nanoparticles and their application as fluorescence probes for determination of adenine and guanine

Abstract: Thioglycolic acid (TGA)-capped CdTe nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized in aqueous medium, and their application as fluorescence probes in the detection of adenine and guanine was studied. The TGA-capped CdTe NPs were characterized by transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction spectrometry, spectrofluorometry, Fourier transform infrared, and ultraviolet-visible spectrometry. Based on the significant enhancement of fluorescence emission of these CdTe fluorescence probes in the presence of adenine or g… Show more

“…The detection principle is unique in that the fluorescence of CDs is first quenched upon addition of copper ions, Cu 2+ , followed by fluorescence recovery when guanine is introduced in the CD-Cu 2+ system. The work claimed a simple, facile, and one-step microwave-assisted preparation method, yet the sensor displayed a LOD of 0.67 × 10 −8 mol L −1 , much lower than those reported in other published works [ 206 ]. Moreover, the CD-Cu 2+ -based sensor evidently showed high selectivity toward guanine compared to other bases such as adenine, uracil, cytosine, and thymine.…”

“…CdTe nanoparticles have also been developed for the detection of adenine and guanine, through the functionalization with thioglycolic acid (TGA), but so far only synthetic probes have been used for the validation of these fluorescence probes ( Li et al, 2012 ).…”

“…In recent years, a variety of methods including high-performance liquid chromatogrphy, ion-pairing liquid chromatography, micellar electrokinetic chromatography, electrochemistry, capillary electrophoresis, chemiluminescence, spectrophotometry, surface enhanced Raman scattering and mass spectrometry have been developed for the determination and quantification of adenine (Ad) in biological fluids [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27]. In fact, these analytic methods were thought to be rapid and sensitive, but they also have several shortcomings such as high cost, high time consumption, tedious pretreatment steps and poor capture ability to substrates.…”
