A fluorescent sensor L based on a pyrazolopyrimidine core simultaneously detects Cu and Ni ions by photoluminescence quenching, even in the presence of other metal cations. Sensor L possesses high association constants of 5.24 × 10 M and 2.85 × 10 M and low detection limits of 0.043 μM and 0.038 μM for Cu and Ni, respectively. The binding stoichiometry ratios of L to Cu or Ni is 1:1 as determined by Benesi-Hildebrand and Job's plots, and by crystal structures. DFT calculations on L-Cu indicated reduced electron donation from the coordinated pyrazolopyridine to the fused pyrimidine and pendant phenyl group which, together with a smaller HOMO-LUMO orbital gap could favour non-radiative decay and explain the observed fluorescence quenching. Sensor L possessed low cytotoxicity and good imaging characteristics for Cu and Ni in living cells, suggesting potential applications for detecting Cu and Niin vivo.
一种基于吡唑并嘧啶核心的荧光传感器 L 通过光致荧光猝灭同时检测 Cu 和 Ni 离子,即使存在其他金属阳离子也是如此。传感器 L 对 Cu 和 Ni 的结合常数分别高达 5.24×10 M 和 2.85×10 M,检测限分别低至 0.043 μM 和 0.038 μM。通过 Benesi-Hildebrand 和 Job 图谱以及晶体结构确定,L 与 Cu 或 Ni 的结合计量比为 1:1。对 L-Cu 的 DFT 计算表明,配位的吡唑并吡啶向稠合嘧啶和取代苯基的电子供体减少,这与较小的 HOMO-LUMO 轨道间隙一起,有利于非辐射衰减,并解释了观察到的荧光猝灭。传感器 L 在活细胞中对 Cu 和 Ni 具有低细胞毒性和良好的成像特性,这表明其在体内检测 Cu 和 Ni 方面具有潜在应用。
