Abstract
In this work, we focused on synthesizing a new fluorescent probe HBA based on caffeic acid for detecting Al3+/HPO42− by the mode of “off-on-off”. HBA alone exhibited a weak fluorescence emission in aqueous solution. When Al3+ was added into the HBA solution, a significant green fluorescence was found at 498 nm. However, the introduction of HPO42− to the solution of [HBA-Al3+] complex induced the disappearance of green fluorescence. The detection limit of HBA was calculated as low as 41.7 nM for Al3+ and 62.1 nM for HPO42−, respectively. Probe HBA exhibited good cell-membrane penetrability and had the potential to trace Al3+/HPO42− in biological systems.
