A new type of ratiometric fluorescent probe capable of detecting Hg(2+) ions at nanomolar-concentration level with high selectivity was developed based on an indole-trizole-rhodamine triad and its practicability for intracellular Hg(2+) sensing was verified. The as-prepared fluorescent probe is capable of detecting Hg(2+) over other competing metal ions including Ag(+) with high selectivity. The synergistic effect of Hg(2+)-assisted conversion of the nonfluorescent ring-closed rhodamine moiety to the highly fluorescent ring-open form as well as the fluorescence signal amplification originating from the Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) from indole-trizole conjugate to rhodamine moiety contributed to a detection limit of 11 nM of the probe for Hg(2+) sensing.
基于吲哚 - 三唑 - 罗丹明三联体开发了一种新型比率荧光探针,该探针能够在纳摩尔浓度水平下高选择性地检测Hg(2+)离子,并验证了其在细胞内检测Hg(2+)的实用性。所制备的荧光探针能够高选择性地检测Hg(2+),而不受包括Ag(+)在内的其他竞争性金属离子的干扰。Hg(2+)辅助将非荧光的闭环罗丹明部分转化为高荧光的开环形式的协同效应,以及源自吲哚 - 三唑共轭物到罗丹明部分的福斯特共振能量转移(FRET)的荧光信号放大,使得该探针对Hg(2+)传感的检测限达到11 nM。
