A New Type of Self-Assembled Fluorescent Chemosensor

Article Preview

Abstract:

According to the principle of dynamic quenching a new ON-OFF fluorescent chemosensor for Cu2+ ions was designed, this chemosensor was composed of sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate (SDBS), p-tert-butylthiacalix[4]arene (TCA) and perylene through the form of self-assembly in aqueous solution. Addition of Cu2+ ions could result in a quenching of the fluorescence emission of perylene inside micelles, which is ascribed to intramicellar complex-fluorophore electron-transfer or energy-transfer effects induced by the complexation of TCA with the Cu2+ ions.The results of the experiment indicated that: With the condition of TCA/perylene = 1000/1, SDBS concentration was 50mmol/L and pH value above 7, concentration of Cu2+ ion can be linearly determined according to the fluorescence quenching in a certain range.
