Abstract
The inappropriate use of the organophosphorus pesticide chlorpyrifos (CPF) in agricultural production could be harmful to the environment and non-target organisms. Here, we prepared a nano-fluorescent probe with phenolic function based on covalently coupled rhodamine derivatives (RDP) of upconverted nano-particles (UCNPs) for trace detection of chlorpyrifos. Due to the fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) effect in the system, the fluorescence of UCNPs is quenched by RDP. The phenolic-functional RDP is converted to the spironolactone form when it captures chlorpyrifos. This structural shift prevents the FRET effect in the system and allows the fluorescence of UCNPs to be restored. In addition, the 980nm excitement conditions of UCNPs will also avoid interference from non-target fluorescent backgrounds. This work has obvious advantages in terms of selectivity and sensitivity, which can be widely applied to the rapid analysis of chlorpyrifos residues in food samples.
