Abstract
Sulfur dioxide (SO2) has long been recognized as an environmental pollutant, and excessive intake of SO2 and its derivatives (HSO3−/SO32−) is harmful to human health. In this paper, we report a specific recognition of HSO3− fluorescent probe RQB-RP, which exhibits color-enhancing and strong fluorescence activation, good water solubility, fast response (4 s), high fluorescence quantum efficiency (Ф = 21.87 %) and high sensitivity (detection limit = 120.66 nM), and has a strong potential for application. Furthermore, the probe RQB-RP was materialized and combined with a smartphone sensing platform to achieve on-site visual quantitative detection of HSO3− without the need for large-scale instrumentation. The RQB-RP also has the ability to accurately detect HSO3− levels in food and Chinese medicine samples to assess compliance and safety. Furthermore, RQB-RP's excellent biocompatibility has been successfully used for the in situ detection of endogenous and exogenous HSO3− in mitochondria of MCF-7 cells.
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.
