Abstract

An inorganic–organic hybrid fluorescence chemosensor (DA/SBA-15) was prepared by covalent immobilization of a dansylamide derivative into the channels of mesoporous silica material SBA-15 via (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (APTES) groups. The primary hexagonally ordered mesoporous structure of SBA-15 was preserved after the grafting procedure. Fluorescence characterization shows that the obtained inorganic–organic hybrid composite is highly selective and sensitive to Hg2+ detection, suggesting the possibility for real-time qualitative or quantitative detection of Hg2+ and the convenience for potential application in toxicology and environmental science.

Highlights

  • There has been growing interest during the last decade in the development of fluorescent molecular sensors for detecting metal ions in solution [1,2,3,4,5]

  • We report a new inorganic–organic hybrid fluorescence chemosensor (DA/SBA-15) for Hg2?

  • For SBA-15 and DA/SBA-15 Composites, the bands at 3,437 and 1,632 cm-1 are attributed to the stretching (3,437 cm-1) and bending (1,632 cm-1) vibrations of the surface silanol groups and the remaining adsorbed water molecules
