Abstract
Gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) with stable fluorescence and excellent biocompatibility are promising nanomaterials in biomedical fields. However, a significant challenge is the insufficient quantum yield (QY) of AuNCs in sensing. Herein, the AuNCs were confined into a metal–organic framework (MOF) to maintain their aggregation and restrict the rotation of their ligands. A fluorescence analysis method based on AuNCs and MOF composite materials (AuNCs@UiO-66-NH2) was established for the highly sensitive detection of lead ions. The MOF-confined AuNCs had decreased energy consumption and an improved QY from 2.38 % to 7.55 %. The fluorescent probes demonstrated a strong linear correlation with lead ions in the 25.0 to 1000.0 μM range. The AuNCs@UiO-66-NH2 was successfully used as a fluorescent probe for the metabolic analysis of lead ions in rat serum with satisfactory spiking recoveries of 91.20–104.37 %. The results demonstrated the excellent fluorescence performance of AuNCs@UiO-66-NH2 and its great potential as a sensing probe for biological and clinical applications.
