Abstract

A 2-(1,3-dioxo-1H-benzo[de]isoquinolin-2(3H)-yl)acetaldehydeanchored rhodamine B based probe, RDNAP detects Cr3+ ion by fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) process in aqueous buffered acetonitrile media (7:3, v/v). Conversely, conjugation of 2-(1,3-dioxo-6-(piperidin-1-yl)-1H-benzo[de]isoquinolin-2(3H)-yl)acetaldehyde with rhodamine B provides another probe, RDNAP-PY that undergoes Cr3+assisted ratiometric fluorescence and colorimetric change in the same media. RDNAP-PY provides higher FRET efficiency and detects as low as 1.81×10−6 M Cr3+with an association constant, 15.9 × 104 M−1. Other common ions do not interfere. RDNAP-PY efficiently images intracellular Cr3+ in live Hep3B, MCF-7, HeLa, SiHa and HEK 293T cells under fluorescence microscope in a ratiometric and time dependent manner. 1H NMR titration and DFT studies strongly support experimental findings.
