Species-differentiable sensing of phosphate-containing anions in neutral aqueous solution based on coordinatively unsaturated lanthanide complex probes
Section snippets
Reagents
HQSAC was prepared as described elsewhere [15]. 5′-AMP, 5′-ADP, and 5′-ATP were purchased from Sangon Biotech. (Shanghai, China); herring sperm DNA, calf thymus DNA, and yeast RNA were purchased from Sino-American Biotech.; buffer reagents, Tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane, and 3,3′-dimethylglutaric acid were purchased from Acros Organics and used without any further purification. All other reagents were of analytical grade or better and used without further purification.
The lanthanide complex
Results and discussion
The UV/Vis spectral responses of 1a toward many anions were tested; the results are shown in (Fig. 2). When a series of buffered (0.020 M Tris–HCl, pH 7.40 at 23 °C) 1a aqueous solutions with the same concentration were titrated by different anion solutions, it was observed that the color shifted from pink to blue and royal for HPO42− and P2O74−, respectively, while other anions including F−, Cl−, Br−, I−, SCN−, NO3−, SO32−, SO42−, HCO3−, NO2−, and HPO2− induced no color changes.

2020, Analytical BiochemistryCitation Excerpt :In recent years, the compounds of lanthanide(III) ions (rare earth metal ions) have been the subject of many coordination chemistry studies [1] due to their many structural motifs, high coordination numbers, interesting magnetic, electronic and spectroscopic properties. Moreover, lanthanide complexes are extensively used in many applications such as chromophores for catalysts in the field of organometallic chemistry [2], catalysis [3], luminescent probes [4], NMR shift reagents, contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) [5], artificial enzymatic ‘‘scissors’’ of DNA and RNA in biochemistry and fixation media for atmospheric gases [6], development of new photodynamic therapies [7] and offer exciting opportunities to elucidate structural features within DNA itself [8]. Therefore, the design and synthesis of lanthanide(III) ions complexes is a considerable become a challenge.
Highly selective and sensitive gold nanoparticle-based colorimetric assay for PO<inf>4</inf><sup>3-</sup> in aqueous solution
2013, TalantaCitation Excerpt :Of particular interest are the AuNP-based colorimetric sensors, which capitalize on the color change that arises from the interparticle plasmon coupling upon the aggregation of AuNPs (changing color from red to purple or blue) [13]. The controlled assembly and disassembly of gold nanoparticles has been a subject of great interest over the past decade due to the prospective applications in the field of ions detection [14], biosensing [15], catalysis [16] and surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy [17]. In a previous study, we have reported a novel, highly selective detection of Cr(III) in aqueous solution based on a gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) colorimetric assay and its application for determining Cr(VI) [18].
Microtiterplate phosphate assay based on luminescence quenching of a terbium complex amenable to decay time detection
2010, Analytica Chimica ActaCitation Excerpt :The binding of a series of P-containing anions to macrocyclic complexes of Yb, Tm and Eu as probes for O-phosphorylated peptides and proteins was studied [26]. A europium complex with 2-[8-hydroxy-5-sulfo-7-quinoline)azo]-1,8-dihydroxy-3,6-naphtalene disulfonic acid has been presented for the spectrophotometric determination of phosphate in aqueous solution [27]. A Eu complex with a Schiff base ligand was reported [28] to show an up to 126-fold luminescence increase in the presence of phosphate in solutions containing 80% (v/v) of DMSO at pH 6.2.
