Aza-crown ether acridinedione-functionalized quantum dots (ACEADD-QDs) and aza-crown ether acridinedione-functionalized gold nanorods (ACEADD-GNRs) have been developed as a pair for a fluorescent chemosensor detecting metal ions. The ACEADD-QDs have dual emissions at a visible wavelength of ∼430 nm from the acridinedione dye moiety and at a near-infrared (NIR) wavelength of ∼775 nm from the CdTeSe QDs. In the presence of Ca2+ or Mg2+ ions, the ACEADD-QD and ACEADD-GNR pair can form a sandwich complex mediated by the metal ion. The ACEADD-QD and ACEADD-GNR complex pair shows visible fluorescence enhancement from the acridinedione dye and concurrent fluorescence quenching from the NIR QD. The aza-crown ether complex results in the suppression of photoinduced electron transfer from the aza-crown ether to the acridinedione dye moiety. At the same time, the QD fluorescence can be effectively quenched by the nanometal surface energy transfer from the QD to the GNR. This ACEADD-QD and ACEADD-GNR pair can effectively transduce the selective binding event of crown ethers with metal ions into the simultaneous modulation of the enhancement in dye fluorescence and the quenching of QD emission, which can open a new strategy for ratiometric sensors that are selective and robust against the environment conditions.
氮杂冠醚吖啶二酮功能化量子点(ACEADD-QD)和氮杂冠醚吖啶二酮功能化金纳米棒(ACEADD-GNR)已被开发成一对,用于检测金属离子的荧光化学传感器。 ACEADD-QD 在吖啶二酮染料部分的可见波长~430 nm 处和 CdTeSe QD 的近红外 (NIR) 波长~775 nm 处具有双重发射。在Ca2+或Mg2+离子存在下,ACEADD-QD和ACEADD-GNR对可以形成由金属离子介导的夹心复合物。 ACEADD-QD 和 ACEADD-GNR 复合物对显示吖啶二酮染料的可见荧光增强和 NIR QD 的并发荧光猝灭。氮杂冠醚络合物导致抑制从氮杂冠醚到吖啶二酮染料部分的光诱导电子转移。同时,纳米金属表面能从QD转移到GNR可以有效猝灭QD荧光。该ACEADD-QD和ACEADD-GNR对可以有效地将冠醚与金属离子的选择性结合事件转化为同时调节染料荧光的增强和QD发射的猝灭,这可以为比例传感器开辟新的策略对环境条件具有选择性和鲁棒性。
