Abstract
By integrating Rhodamine B and 4-phenylmorpholine moieties, a novel fluorescent probe named RhPy is synthesized for detecting Hg2+. Its recognition mechanism involves the reaction of Hg2+ with dithiooxamide, ultimately triggering the opening of the Rhodamine spirolactam and forming a new molecule RhPy-S with strong emission. The probe exhibits impressive limit of detection (0.015 μM) and short response time (<10 s). Importantly, RhPy shows almost none-cytotoxicity and RhPy-S has the emission spectrum peaking at 596 nm, which endow the probe with a good tissue penetration ability and practical utility in living cells, zebrafish and in vivo mice models. This work advances the field by providing a highly sensitive chemosensor for both environmental and biological applications.
期刊介绍:
Spectrochimica Acta, Part A: Molecular and Biomolecular Spectroscopy (SAA) is an interdisciplinary journal which spans from basic to applied aspects of optical spectroscopy in chemistry, medicine, biology, and materials science.
The journal publishes original scientific papers that feature high-quality spectroscopic data and analysis. From the broad range of optical spectroscopies, the emphasis is on electronic, vibrational or rotational spectra of molecules, rather than on spectroscopy based on magnetic moments.
Criteria for publication in SAA are novelty, uniqueness, and outstanding quality. Routine applications of spectroscopic techniques and computational methods are not appropriate.
Topics of particular interest of Spectrochimica Acta Part A include, but are not limited to:
Spectroscopy and dynamics of bioanalytical, biomedical, environmental, and atmospheric sciences,
Novel experimental techniques or instrumentation for molecular spectroscopy,
Novel theoretical and computational methods,
Novel applications in photochemistry and photobiology,
Novel interpretational approaches as well as advances in data analysis based on electronic or vibrational spectroscopy.
