Abstract
The supramolecular fluorescent probe exhibited promising application in the field of detection and analysis, but developing supramolecular fluorescent probes with long wavelength emission and enhancement functions for the detection of phenylethylamines is a challenge. In this work, the guest molecule SPn with a D-π-A structure was designed and synthesized, and supramolecular fluorescent probe (SPn/Q[8]) with long wavelength emission was constructed by the host–guest interaction with cucurbit[8]uril (Q[8]). This probe detects phenethylamines based on an indicator displacement assay, which is a process characterized by a fast effect rate (within 6.24 s), high selectivity, and low detection limit. In addition, a smartphone-based quantitative detection system was developed for trace detection of phenethylamine, with a detection limit of 2.35 μM. This research not only developed a new approach for supramolecular fluorescent probes, but also provided a useful tool for the on-site detection of phenylethylamine.
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.
