Abstract
Carbon nanomaterials have been applied in various fields. Currently, functionalized carbon nanomaterial with practical tuning and surface functionalization is a tremendously used method. Herein, neomycin-based fluorescent carbon quantum dots were synthesized via hydrothermal method using neomycin and citric acid as a source for selective sensing of Fe3+ metal ions. The as-prepared Neo-CA-CQDs exhibited blue fluorescence, successfully characterized and utilized for sensing various metal ions. The carbon dots showed excellent sensing properties towards Fe3+ metal ions and optical properties were characterized by a fluorescence spectrofluorometer. In addition, pH and biocompatibility studies were investigated for the Neo-CA-CQDs. The average size of the Neo-CA-CQDs was 3–5.7 nm. The quantum yield of the as-prepared Neo-CA-CQDs was 29.3 %. The limit of detection for Fe3+ sensing was determined to be 6.09 μM. The sensing of Fe3+ ions was also confirmed through visual detection, as a significant color change of the CQDs was observed. Additionally, a competitive study was conducted to verify the selectivity of the neomycin citric acid-mediated CQDs towards Fe3+. The in vitro cytotoxicity study was performed on a mouse fibroblast cell line (L929) and Human cervical cancer cell line (HeLa).
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Molecular Structure is dedicated to the publication of full-length articles and review papers, providing important new structural information on all types of chemical species including:
• Stable and unstable molecules in all types of environments (vapour, molecular beam, liquid, solution, liquid crystal, solid state, matrix-isolated, surface-absorbed etc.)
• Chemical intermediates
• Molecules in excited states
• Biological molecules
• Polymers.
The methods used may include any combination of spectroscopic and non-spectroscopic techniques, for example:
• Infrared spectroscopy (mid, far, near)
• Raman spectroscopy and non-linear Raman methods (CARS, etc.)
• Electronic absorption spectroscopy
• Optical rotatory dispersion and circular dichroism
• Fluorescence and phosphorescence techniques
• Electron spectroscopies (PES, XPS), EXAFS, etc.
• Microwave spectroscopy
• Electron diffraction
• NMR and ESR spectroscopies
• Mössbauer spectroscopy
• X-ray crystallography
• Charge Density Analyses
• Computational Studies (supplementing experimental methods)
We encourage publications combining theoretical and experimental approaches. The structural insights gained by the studies should be correlated with the properties, activity and/ or reactivity of the molecule under investigation and the relevance of this molecule and its implications should be discussed.
