Abstract
A novel colorimetric and fluorometric dual-channel sensor DA with a favorable optical property and high specificity via a facile synthesis for Cu2+ was developed. DA showed a remarkably rapid response and high selectivity for Cu2+ over other metal ions with low detection limit of 15.1 nM. The sensing mechanism of DA for Cu2+ was based on the chelation-enhanced fluorescence quenching (CHEQ) mechanism, and further confirmed by optical measurements, FTIR, HRMS and DFT calculations. Importantly, DA for sensing Cu2+ possessed excellent sensing performances including colorimetric and fluorometric dual-mode detection, fast response, good reversibility, wide pH response range and strong anti-interference ability. Moreover, the DA could be not only applied to quantitatively detect Cu2+ in environmental water, food and drink samples, but also show highly colorimetric detection of Cu2+ on test strips and silica, indicating its possibility to be utilized as a convenient and low-cost sensor for environment and food monitoring.
