A highly selective fluorescent probe for detection of Cd2+ and HSO3? based on photochromic diarylethene with a triazole-bridged coumarin-quinoline group

摘要

A novel photochromic diarylethene containing a quinoline-linked 3-aminocoumarin Schiff base unit ( 1O ) was synthesized and used for the selective detection of Cd ~(2+) and HSO _(3) ~(?) . The synthesized probe exhibited a straightforward response for the selective detection of Cd ~(2+) . Its fluorescence emission red-shifted ～126 nm and was enhanced 24.9 fold in the presence of Cd ~(2+) . Meanwhile, the fluorescence color of 1O changed from dark cyan to golden yellow. The binding stoichiometry between 1O and Cd ~(2+) was determined to be 1?:?1. A molecular logic circuit with three inputs and one output was successfully constructed with its light and metal-responsive behaviors. In addition, 1O was able to selectively recognize HSO _(3) ~(?) with a 135-fold enhanced fluorescence emission and a notable fluorescence color change from dark cyan to bright cyan. The ~(1) H NMR and mass spectrometry analyses suggest that the HSO _(3) ~(?) sensing of 1O is based on the hydrolysis of the Schiff base group of 1O .
