Abstract
A molecular probe BNP based on 2,3-modified boron-dipyrromethene (Bodipy) derivatives, with high sensitivity and selectivity toward copper ion, was designed and synthesized. The probe treated with Cu2+ in aqueous solution (H2O/DMSO 60/40) displays obvious absorption alternation with maximum red-shift from 525nm to 554nm and gives correspondingly remarkable solution color change from the light yellow to purple. The theoretical calculation (TD-DFT) further demonstrates the absorption red-shift of BNP with addition of Cu2+. The 1:1 stoichiometry binding mode of BNP toward Cu2+ is determined by the study of Job plot and MALDL-TOF mass. The probe BNP has strong affinity (the stability constant Ks=2.1×106M−1) and the low detection limit (0.53μM) toward Cu2+. The low naked-eye detection limit (2.5μM) and real-time detection give the possibly direct detection by the naked eyes. These results extend the application of 2,3-modified Bodipy derivatives in the field of colorimetric and fluorescent probes.
