Abstract
In this paper, a new and effective diaminopyrimidine-based chemosensor (DAPCS) was developed for the highly selective and ultra-sensitive detection of Cu2+ ion in aqueous media and living cell. Characterization and structure determining of DAPCS was determined by UV–Vis, FTIR and NMR analyses. It is observed that DAPCS and Cu (II) forms a ligand to metal charge transfer (LMCT) complex which produces distinguishable red color. The results also indicate that the DAPCS easily interacts with Cu2+ ion to form a 1:1 stoichiometry complex (DAPCS -Cu2+), resulting in a bathochromic shift in absorption maximum (429 nm to 449 nm) and remarkable quenching fluorescence intensity at the wavelength of 501 nm in DMSO-H2O solution. Furthermore, the detection limit of DAPCS towards Cu2+ was calculated to be 3.19 µM. Meanwhile, DAPCS was applied as fluorescent probe for detection of Cu2+ ions with the detection limit of 0.014 µM. The optimal pH range of probe DAPCS for quantitative analysis of Cu2+ ions was 9–11, which renders it suitable for detection of Cu2+ under physiological conditions. Additionally, the DAPCS could be applied to detect Cu2+ in real water samples and in HeLa cells, indicating the practical uses of DAPCS in real analyses.
