The development of novel materials for the detection and removal of Hg is a very important issue due to the acute toxicity of Hg. Herein, a novel supramolecular polymer P5BD-DPHB has been constructed by the collaboration of a naphthalimide functionalized-pillar[5]arene host (P5BD) and a bis-bromohexane functionalized-pillar[5]arene guest (DPHB). P5BD-DPHB could form a stable supramolecular gel (P5BD-DPHB-G). Interestingly, P5BD-DPHB-G shows selective fluorescent "turn-on" detection for Hgvia cation-π interactions with high selectivity and sensitivity. Furthermore, the Hg coordinated supramolecular gel P5BD-DPHB-HgG can detect I successively. The detection limits for Hg and I are 1.65 × 10 and 1.84 × 10 mol L, respectively. Even more significantly, the xerogel of P5BD-DPHB-G could remove Hg from aqueous solution with excellent recyclability and ingestion capacity, and with a Hg removal rate of 98%.
由于汞的急性毒性,开发用于检测和去除汞的新型材料是一个非常重要的问题。在此,通过萘酰亚胺功能化的柱[5]芳烃主体(P5BD)和双溴己烷功能化的柱[5]芳烃客体(DPHB)的协作,构建了一种新型超分子聚合物 P5BD-DPHB。P5BD-DPHB 可以形成稳定的超分子凝胶(P5BD-DPHB-G)。有趣的是,P5BD-DPHB-G 通过与 Hg 的阳离子-π 相互作用表现出选择性荧光“开启”检测,具有高选择性和灵敏度。此外,Hg 配位的超分子凝胶 P5BD-DPHB-HgG 可以依次检测 I。Hg 和 I 的检测限分别为 1.65×10 和 1.84×10 mol L。更重要的是,P5BD-DPHB-G 的干凝胶可以从水溶液中去除 Hg,具有极好的可回收性和摄取能力,Hg 的去除率为 98%。
