Abstract
Acridine-1,8-diones are a type of conspicuous compound. However, only few works investigated the fluorescence properties even based on one or two isolated compounds. Here, eighteen acridine-1,8-diones were synthesized via our earlier pathway and the configuration, electronic properties and excited state properties of them were studied systematically by density functional theory (DFT) calculations and corresponding experiments. The reason why they have similar fluorescence emission wavelength and have quite different fluorescence emission intensity was investigated and explained. Among these compounds, YD-1 exhibited the best fluorescent behavior and was used to detect 2,4,6-trinitrophenylphenol (TNP) firstly. The quenching efficiency reached 90.7 %, detection limit was 0.23 μM, detection time was within 10 s and binding constant was as high as 5.3 × 104 M−1. This probe was also successfully applied in actual water sample and soil detection, as well as real-time detection of TNP through portable fluorescent strip and smartphone platform.
期刊介绍:
The journal includes papers in the following areas:
– Simple organic liquids and mixtures
– Ionic liquids
– Surfactant solutions (including micelles and vesicles) and liquid interfaces
– Colloidal solutions and nanoparticles
– Thermotropic and lyotropic liquid crystals
– Ferrofluids
– Water, aqueous solutions and other hydrogen-bonded liquids
– Lubricants, polymer solutions and melts
– Molten metals and salts
– Phase transitions and critical phenomena in liquids and confined fluids
– Self assembly in complex liquids.– Biomolecules in solution
The emphasis is on the molecular (or microscopic) understanding of particular liquids or liquid systems, especially concerning structure, dynamics and intermolecular forces. The experimental techniques used may include:
– Conventional spectroscopy (mid-IR and far-IR, Raman, NMR, etc.)
– Non-linear optics and time resolved spectroscopy (psec, fsec, asec, ISRS, etc.)
– Light scattering (Rayleigh, Brillouin, PCS, etc.)
– Dielectric relaxation
– X-ray and neutron scattering and diffraction.
Experimental studies, computer simulations (MD or MC) and analytical theory will be considered for publication; papers just reporting experimental results that do not contribute to the understanding of the fundamentals of molecular and ionic liquids will not be accepted. Only papers of a non-routine nature and advancing the field will be considered for publication.
