研究目的
To develop and evaluate two novel colorimetric and fluorescent probes based on phenothiazine for the selective and sensitive detection of Hg2+ ions, addressing the need for efficient mercury detection due to its environmental and health hazards.
研究成果
The synthesized probes PHE-Ed and PHE-Pd exhibit high selectivity, sensitivity, and rapid response for Hg2+ detection through a Hg2+-promoted deprotection mechanism. They show potential for practical applications in environmental monitoring, with capabilities for naked-eye detection and solid-state sensing, as demonstrated in filter paper tests and drinking water samples.
研究不足
The probes are specific to Hg2+ detection and may not detect other mercury species. Performance could be affected by extreme pH values outside 5.0-9.0. The study is limited to laboratory conditions and may require further validation in complex real-world environmental samples.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved the synthesis of two fluorescent probes (PHE-Ed and PHE-Pd) using phenothiazine derivatives, followed by characterization and evaluation of their sensing properties for Hg2+ ions. Methods included organic synthesis, spectroscopic analysis (UV-Vis, fluorescence, FT-IR, NMR), and competitive experiments to assess selectivity and sensitivity.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Probes were synthesized from commercial chemicals. Metal ion solutions (e.g., Hg2+, Ag+, Mg2+, etc.) were prepared for testing. Data were collected from spectroscopic measurements in EtOH/H2O solutions.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment included TENSOR27 FT-IR spectrometer, Bruker Avance 400 NMR spectrometer, Agilent 6510 Q-TOF LC/MS system, F-4500 fluorescence spectrometer. Materials included phenothiazine, ethyl bromide, 1,2-ethanedithiol, 1,3-propanedithiol, boron trifluoride diethyl etherate, various solvents (DMSO, dichloromethane, ethanol, etc.), and metal salts.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Synthesis of compounds involved step-wise reactions (e.g., alkylation, formylation, thioacetal formation) with purification by column chromatography. Sensing experiments involved adding metal ions to probe solutions, measuring UV-Vis and fluorescence spectra, conducting Job's plot analyses, pH and time response studies, and practical applications on filter paper and in drinking water.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
Data were analyzed using spectroscopic software, Benesi-Hildebrand equation for association constants, linear regression for detection limits, and comparative analysis with literature probes.
