Abstract
The efficient fluorescent property of coumarin 460 (C460) is utilized to sense the Pd2+ selectively and sensitively. Fabrication of a sensor strip using commercial adhesive tape is achieved and the detection of Pd2+ is attempted using a handy UV torch. The naked eye detection in solution state using UV chamber is also attempted. The calculated high binding constant values support the strong stable complex formation of Pd2+ with C460. The detection limit up to 2.5 × 10−7 M is achieved using fluorescence spectrometer, which is considerably low from the WHO's recommendation. The response of coumarin 460 with various cations also studied. The quenching is further studied by the lifetime measurements. The binding mechanism is clearly explained by the 1H NMR titration. The sensing mechanism is established as ICT. C460 strip's Pd2+ quenching detection is further confirmed by solid-state PL study. The in-vitro response of Pd2+ in a living cell is also studied using fluorescent imaging studies by means of HeLa cell lines and this probe is very compatible with biological environments. It could be applicable to sense trace amounts of a Pd2+ ion from various industries. Compared with previous reports, this one is very cheap, sensitive, selective and suitable for biological systems.
