A series of carboxamidoquinoline-based fluorescent sensors (the AQZ family) were synthesized and characterized. The AQZ family members were highly soluble in water and showed good selectivity for Zn2+via enhanced fluorescence in aqueous buffer solution. Fluorescence signals could be tuned from dual-wavelength ratiometric changes to changes in the intensity of a single wavelength upon binding Zn2+ through the introduction of different substituents onto the quinoline ring. Concentrations of free Zn2+ of 10−5–10−6 M could be detected using the sensors. Changes of substituents and their positions on the quinoline ring influenced the sensitivity for Zn2+, but had little effect on Zn2+ affinities.
一系列基于羧酰胺喹啉的荧光传感器(AQZ家族)被合成并表征。AQZ家族成员在水中的溶解性很高,并通过在水中缓冲溶液中增强的荧光显示出对Zn²⁺的良好选择性。通过在喹啉环上引入不同的取代基,荧光信号可以在结合Zn²⁺时从双波长比率变化调整到单一波长强度的变化。使用这些传感器可以检测到10⁻⁵至10⁻⁶M的自由Zn²⁺浓度。取代基及其在喹啉环上的位置变化影响了它们对Zn²⁺的敏感性,但对Zn²⁺的亲和力影响不大。
