Solid substrate-room temperature phosphorimetry for the determination of trace protein using ion association complex [Cu(BPY)_2]~2+.[(Fin)_2]~2- as a phosphorescent probe

摘要

Fluorescein (HFin) emitted strong and stable room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) on filter paper after set at 50°C for 1O min using Li~+ as the ion perturber. HFin existed as Fin- when the pH value was in the range of 5.45-7.36. Fin- could react with [Cu(BPY)_2]~2+ (BPY: α,α-bipyridyl) to produce ion asso_ciation complex [Cu(BPY)_2]~2+_[(Fin)_2]~2-, which could enhance the RTP signal of Hfin. In the presence of bovine serum albumin (BSA), the -COON group of Fin- in the [Cu(BPY)_2]~2+.[(Fin)_2]~2- could react with the -NH_2 group of BSA to form the ion association complex [Cu(BPY)_2]~2+.[(Fin-BSA)_2]~2-, which contained -CO-NH- bond. This complex could sharply enhance the RTP signal of Hfin and the /Δp was directly proportional to the content of BSA. According to the facts above, a new solid substrate-room temperature phosphorimetry (SS-RTP) for the determination of trace protein had been established using the ion asso_ciation complex (Cu(BPY)_2]~2+.[(Fin)_2]~2-as a phosphorescent probe. This method had wide linear range (0.40 × 10~-9-280 × 10~-9 mgI~-1 ), high sensitivity (the detection limit (LD) was 1.4 × 10~-10 mgI~-1), good precision (RSD: 3.4-4.9%) and high selectivity (the allowed concentration of coexistent ions or coexistent materials was high). It had been applied to the determination of the content of protein in 10 kinds of real samples, and the result agreed well with pyrocatechol violet-Mo (VI) method (P.V.M.M.), which indicated it had high accuracy. Meanwhile, reaction mechanism for the determination of trace protein with [Cu(BPY)_2]~2+_[(Fin)_2]~2- phosphorescent probe was also discussed. The academic thought of this research could not only be used to develop many kinds of ion association complex phosphorescent probes, but also provided a new way to promote the sensitivity of SS-RTP.
