Abstract
Copper ion plays an important role in many biological processes in human body. H2S is considered as the third gasses transmitter after carbon monoxide and nitric oxide. Here a novel ICT-based fluorescent ON-OFF-ON probe for Cu2+ and H2S detection was developed. Selectivity and sensitivity of probe was confirmed in aqueous Tris-HCl buffer (10mM, pH7.4, containing 90% acetonitrile). Probe DF-CU shows high selectivity over other analytes. The degree of fluorescence quenching is linearly associated with the concentration of Cu2+ (R2= 0.9919). The limit of detection (LOD, calculated according to the 3σ/slope) for Cu2+ was 6.4μM. Probe can work in almost all pH. The probe shows a very fast response to Cu2+ (within 10s). Its response to copper ion could be reversed by H2S. The complex of probe with Cu2+ could be used for H2S detection. Furthermore, this ON-OFF-ON fluorescent probe successfully applied in the living cells for the detection of Cu2+ and H2S.
