A ratiometric fluorometric assay for mercury(II) ion is described. It is making use of glutathione-stabilized gold nanoclusters (GSH-AuNCs) modified with tetraphenylporphyrin tetrasulfonic acid (TPPS). The resultant GSH-AuNC/TPPS nanocomposite displays dual emission (at 572 and 664 nm) under a single excitation wavelength of 365 nm. Mercury(II) ion intensively quenches the yellow fluorescence of GSH-AuNCs (peaking at 572 nm) but has a negligible effect on the red fluorescence of TPPS (at 664 nm). The ratio of fluorescence intensities at 572 and 664 nm drops linearly with Hg(II) ion concentration in the 0.02-2.0 μmol·L range, and the detection limit is 7 nmol·L (3s/S). The relative standard deviation (RSD) of the assay is 2.0% at a 0.5 μmol·L concentration level (n = 11). The method was successfully applied to the determination of Hg(II) ion in spiked water samples, with recoveries within the range of 87.5-107.5%.

一种用于汞(II)离子的比率荧光分析方法。该方法利用谷胱甘肽稳定的金纳米簇(GSH-AuNCs)修饰四苯基卟啉四磺酸(TPPS)。所得的 GSH-AuNC/TPPS 纳米复合材料在 365nm 的单一激发波长下显示出双重发射(在 572nm 和 664nm 处)。汞(II)离子强烈猝灭 GSH-AuNCs 的黄色荧光(在 572nm 处达到峰值),但对 TPPS 的红色荧光(在 664nm 处)几乎没有影响。572nm 和 664nm 处荧光强度的比值随 Hg(II)离子浓度在 0.02-2.0μmol·L 范围内呈线性下降,检测限为 7nmol·L(3s/S)。在 0.5μmol·L 浓度水平下,该测定方法的相对标准偏差(RSD)为 2.0%(n=11)。该方法成功应用于加标水样中 Hg(II)离子的测定,回收率在 87.5-107.5%范围内。
