Abstract
In this study, a fluorescent probe (GMP-Tb-SSA) utilizing lanthanide coordination polymer nanoparticles, GMP-Tb, as a sensing platform, and 5-sulfosalicylic acid (SSA) as a cofactor ligand was proposed for the detection of copper ions (Cu2+). GMP-Tb was synthesized by the self-assembly of guanine monophosphate (GMP) and terbium ion (Tb3+), and SSA was introduced as a sensitizer into the GMP-Tb network. Cu2+ could efficiently inhibit the electron transfer from the ligand GMP to the central ion, Tb3+, leading to a significant quench of fluorescence of Tb3+. The method is highly selective with a linear range of 0 to 21 µM and a detection limit of 300 nM. It is not interfered by metal ions, amino acids, and other species, and can be successfully applied to the detection of Cu2+ in real water samples.
