A fluorescence probe has been designed and synthesized, and applied with a combined theoretical and experimental study. Research suggests that the probe can be used to sense Zn and Hg through selective turn-on fluorescence responses in the aqueous HEPES buffer (0.05M, pH=7.4). The limit of detection (LOD) were determined as 1.46×10M (Zn) and 2.50×10M (Hg). Moreover, based on DFT, the geometry optimizations of probe 1, [1-Hg] complex and [1-Zn] complex were carried out using the Gaussian 09 program, in which the B3LYP function was used. The electronic properties of free probe 1 and the metal complexes were studied based on the Natural Bond Orbital (NBO) analyses. The probe 1 has also been successfully applied to detection of Zn and Hg in living cells.
设计并合成了一种荧光探针,并通过理论和实验相结合的方法进行了研究。研究表明,该探针可以通过在水相 HEPES 缓冲液(0.05M,pH=7.4)中选择性的开启荧光响应来检测 Zn 和 Hg。该探针的检测限(LOD)分别为 1.46×10M(Zn)和 2.50×10M(Hg)。此外,基于密度泛函理论(DFT),使用 Gaussian 09 程序对探针 1、[1-Hg]配合物和[1-Zn]配合物进行了几何优化,其中使用了 B3LYP 函数。根据自然键轨道(NBO)分析,研究了游离探针 1 和金属配合物的电子性质。该探针还成功地应用于活细胞中 Zn 和 Hg 的检测。
