Technical Field
The invention discloses a fluorescent probe for detecting Cu < 2+ > in an aqueous solution, and a preparation method and application thereof, and belongs to the technical field of fluorescent probes for detecting heavy metal ions.
Background
The fluorescent probe is based on the organic combination of molecular recognition and fluorescence technology, and the receptor is used for selectively combining a specific object, and the fluorescence signal is used for expressing the molecular combination information, so that the in-situ real-time detection on the molecular level is realized. The metal ion detection fluorescent probe provides a detection means with wide application value, and photophysical and photochemical problems related in the design, synthesis, identification and application processes are widely focused by researchers in different fields.
The fluorescent probe has incomparable advantages of other analysis methods, such as atomic absorption spectrometry, inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry, solid-phase microextraction combined with high performance liquid chromatography, electrochemical analysis methods and the like. Namely, the existence and concentration range of ions are visually reflected through the change of fluorescence intensity and color, and the ion-sensitive fluorescent material has high sensitivity and selectivity. Common ion-recognizing fluorescent probes recognize several general classes including photo-induced electron transfer (PET), intramolecular Charge Transfer (ICT), and Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET).
Coumarin derivatives are an important class of natural heterocyclic compounds widely existing in nature. The compound has unique bioactivity and excellent optical characteristic, and the benzopyran with basic structure is colorless matter without fluorescence, but if electron donating group is introduced in 7 position and electron withdrawing group is introduced in 3 or 4 position, a 'push-pull' electron system is formed, so that the strong fluorescent matter is obtained. The coumarin compound has the advantages of larger molar absorptivity, higher fluorescence quantum yield, larger Stokes shift and good light stability, can effectively reduce the background fluorescence of cell components and physiological liquid, is favored in the design of fluorescent probes, and has important significance in the design of synthesizing novel coumarin fluorescent compounds.
Copper is a common metal widely existing in the environment, and proper amount of Cu 2+ in the human body is beneficial to maintaining the normal operation of the organism, and if the metabolism of Cu 2+ in the human body is unbalanced, diseases can be brought to people. Copper is widely used in the industrial field, and causes serious pollution to the environment through the discharge of factory sewage, thereby threatening the life health of human beings. Until now, the fluorescent probe layer for detecting Cu 2+ is endless, but most of detection systems are organic solvents, which may cause harm to organisms or cause environmental pollution in the detection process, so that practical application is limited. Therefore, it is of great importance to establish a fluorescent probe recognizing Cu 2+ in aqueous solution, which has low toxicity, good biocompatibility, high selectivity, high sensitivity and easy synthesis.

Molecular formula C 16H19N3O4

Solubility in water, and solubility in various organic solvents such as methanol, ethanol, dichloromethane, etc
Spectral properties maximum ultraviolet absorption wavelength 444nm in aqueous solution and fluorescence emission wavelength 515.5nm.
The fluorescent probe is coumarin Schiff base type.
A preparation method of a fluorescent probe for detecting Cu < 2+ > in an aqueous solution is implemented according to the following steps,
Firstly, synthesizing a compound 7-diethylaminocoumarin-3-formaldehyde (hereinafter referred to as a compound II);
Controlling the molar ratio of methyl hydrazineformate to the compound to be 1.0-1.2:1, taking absolute ethyl alcohol as a solvent, refluxing at 85 ℃ for 5 hours, cooling to room temperature, separating out solids, filtering, and washing a filter cake with glacial ethyl alcohol to obtain yellow solids.
And thirdly, separating and purifying the yellow solid by silica gel column chromatography by taking dichloromethane and methanol as eluent to obtain orange solid SJL, namely the fluorescent probe.
The application of the fluorescent probe for detecting Cu < 2+ > in the aqueous solution is characterized in that the Schiff base compound can be used as the fluorescent probe for detecting Cu 2+ in the aqueous solution, the concentration of Cu 2+ is used as an abscissa, the fluorescence intensity of a mixed system is used as an ordinate to be plotted, a standard line of the concentration gradient change of the Cu 2+ solution and the fluorescence intensity change value of the probe SJL solution is established, and the concentration of Cu 2+ in the solution to be detected is read out from the graph according to the fluorescence intensity when the fluorescent probe is applied, wherein the detection limit is as low as 0.6 mu M.
For further explanation of the present invention, the present invention will be described in further detail with reference to the drawings and examples, so as to enable those skilled in the art to practice the same by referring to the description.
In fig. 5, the abscissa indicates wavelength and the ordinate indicates absorbance. In the aqueous solution, the change of the ultraviolet spectrum absorbance to Cu 2+ is most obvious, and the color of the solution is changed from yellow green to brown yellow, which indicates that the probe SJL has a certain naked eye recognition capability to Cu 2+.
In fig. 6, the abscissa indicates wavelength and the ordinate indicates absorbance. In the pure water system, the concentration of Cu 2+ is 0-13.9 times of the concentration of the probe SJL in sequence. FIG. 5 shows that the absorbance of the probe SJL increases with the concentration of Cu 2+, and the maximum absorption wavelength shifts from 444nm to 473nm in red. The presence of isoconcentration spots at 363nm and 443nm, respectively, indicates that the probe SJL and the complex SJL-Cu 2+ are in dynamic equilibrium.
In fig. 7, in a pure water system, the abscissa indicates wavelength and the ordinate indicates fluorescence intensity. Compared with other ions, after Cu 2+ is added into the probe SJL, the fluorescence intensity is obviously reduced, and the quenching rate is as high as 82.3 percent.
In FIG. 8, by comparing the fluorescence intensities of the respective solutions at the same emission wavelength (444 nm), it can be seen that the selective recognition of Cu 2+ by the probe SJL is not affected by other ions.
In fig. 9, the fluorescence intensity of the probe SJL gradually decreased with an increase in the concentration of Cu 2+, and when the concentration of Cu 2+ increased up to 25.9 times, the fluorescence intensity hardly changed any more. This also indicates that the probe SJL has a higher sensitivity to Cu 2+.
In fig. 10, in the range of 0.1-0.7 times of Cu 2+ concentration, the fluorescence intensity of the probe SJL and the Cu 2+ concentration show a good linear relationship, and the linear equation is y= -978.57x+2175.64, r 2 = 0.99038. The probe can perform good quantitative detection on the concentration of Cu 2+ in the concentration range. The slope m= -978.57 × 5 can be obtained according to the equation, meanwhile, the lowest detection limit of 0.6 μm of the probe SJL is calculated by using the linear relation and the detection limit calculation formula lod=3σ/M, which shows that the sensitivity of the probe SJL is relatively high.
In fig. 11, a fitting linear equation y=4.07× -9x+8.05×10-4,R2 = 0.99241 is obtained, and a complex constant ka=1.98×10 5M-1 is obtained according to a complex constant calculation formula. This shows that the probe SJL forms a complex with better stability with Cu 2+.
In FIG. 12, the measurement of Job curve was performed by experiments, and when the total concentration was not changed, the fluorescence intensity of probe SJL at 515nm gradually decreased with the increase of the concentration ratio of Cu 2+, and when the concentration of Cu 2+ was 0.47 times, the curve showed an inflection point, indicating that the coordination ratio of probe and Cu 2+ ion was 1:1.
Synthesis of Probe SJL
Methyl hydrazinecarboxylate 90.08mg (1 mmol) was weighed into a 50mL round bottom flask, 10mL of absolute ethyl alcohol was added, and after stirring at normal temperature to dissolve it completely, 245mg (1 mmol) of 7-diethylaminocoumarin-3-carbaldehyde was added to the reaction flask, stirring was carried out at 60℃for 30min, and one drop of glacial acetic acid was added dropwise to the reaction flask. The mixture was heated to 85 ℃ and reacted at reflux for 5h.
