Tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine-based fluorescent ligands, N,N-bis(1-isoquinolylmethyl)-2-pyridylmethylamine (1-isoBQPA) and N,N-bis(7-methoxy-1-isoquinolylmethyl)-2-pyridylmethylamine (7-MeO-1-isoBQPA), have been prepared and the Zn2+-induced fluorescence enhancement has been investigated. Upon excitation at 324 nm, 1-isoBQPA exhibits a very weak emission (ϕ = ∼0.010) in DMF–H2O (1 : 1). Upon Zn2+ addition, the 1-isoBQPA fluorescence increases (ϕZn = 0.055) at 357 nm and 464 nm. The fluorescence enhancement at longer wavelengths is Zn2+-specific, whereas Cd2+ induces a small emission increase at 464 nm (ICd/I0 = 1.1, ICd/IZn = 14%). The Zn2+/Cd2+ selectivity of the fluorescent response correlates with the Cd–Nisoquinoline and Zn–Nisoquinoline bond distances measured in the crystal structures. Introduction of methoxy groups into the 1-isoBQPA chromophore enhances the fluorescence significantly (ϕZn = 0.213), which affords 7-MeO-1-isoBQPA properties amenable for fluorescence microscopy in living cells.
三(2-吡啶基甲基)胺基荧光配体、N,N-双(1-异喹啉基甲基)-2-吡啶基甲胺(1-isoBQPA)和N,N-双(7-甲氧基-1-异喹啉基甲基)-2-吡啶基甲胺(7-MeO-1-isoBQPA),已制备并研究了 Zn2+ 诱导的荧光增强。在 324 nm 激发下,1-isoBQPA 在 DMF–H2O (1 : 1) 中表现出非常弱的发射 (phi = ∼0.010)。添加 Zn2+ 后,1-isoBQPA 荧光在 357 nm 和 464 nm 处增强 (ψZn = 0.055)。较长波长处的荧光增强是 Zn2+ 特异性的,而 Cd2+ 会在 464 nm 处引起小幅发射增加(ICd/I0 = 1.1,ICd/IZn = 14%)。荧光响应的 Zn2+/Cd2+ 选择性与晶体结构中测量的 Cd-Nisoquinoline 和 Zn-Nisoquinoline 键距相关。将甲氧基引入 1-isoBQPA 发色团可显着增强荧光 (ψZn = 0.213),从而提供适合活细胞荧光显微镜观察的 7-MeO-1-isoBQPA 特性。
