Controllably prepared molecularly imprinted core-shell plasmonic nanostructure for plasmon-enhanced fluorescence assay
摘要: Plasmon-enhanced fluorescence (PEF) is an emerging technology for sensitive detection. It relies on the plasmonic effect of a noble metal nanostructure to dramatically enhance the fluorescence of target fluorophores around the metal surface. Because there is a compromise between plasmonic enhancement and florescence quenching, it is critical to control the distance between the fluorophore and the metal surface to an appropriate range. This makes the fabrication of plasmonic nanostructures for PEF assays a challenging task. Herein, we report a controllably prepared core-shell plasmonic nanostructure coated with molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) for sensitive and specific PEF assay. Riboflavin (RF) was used as a test compound in this study. RF-imprinted Ag@SiO2 nanoparticles were prepared in a controllable manner, providing an optimal distance between the metal surface and RF molecules. The obtained hybrid nanostructure allowed for sensitive detection and specific recognition towards the target. Based on the plasmonic hybrid nanostructure, a sensitive and specific PEF assay of RF was developed and successfully applied to the determination of RF in human urine. Thus, the study paved the way for controllable preparation of molecularly imprinted plasmonic nanostructures for sensitive and specific PEF assays.

Controllable Synthesis and Catalytic Performance of Gold Nanoparticles with Cucurbit[n]urils (n = 5–8)
摘要: A series of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) was prepared in situ with different cucurbit[n]urils (CB[n]s) in an alkaline aqueous solution. The nanoparticle sizes can be well controlled by CB[n]s (n = 5, 6, 7, 8) with different ring sizes. The packing densities of CB[5–8] and free surface area on AuNPs were determined. A direct relationship was found between the ring size and packing density of CB[n]s with respect to the AuNP-catalyzed reduction of 4-nitrophenol in the presence of NaBH4. The larger particle size and higher surface coverage of bigger CB[n]-capped AuNPs significantly decreased the catalytic activity. Furthermore, this work could lead to new applications that utilize AuNPs under an overlayer of CB[n]s for catalysis, sensing, and drug delivery.
