Analytica chimica acta(2019)
Abstract
A novel ratiometric and reversible chemosensor 4-((2-(Benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)phenyl)ethynyl)-N,N-diethylaniline (BT-1) based on ortho-arylethynyl benzothiazole with large Stokes shift (Δλ≈190 nm) was designed and synthesized to recognize Cu2+. Copper ion induces a remarkable fluorescence enhancement and causes formation of a BT-1-Cu complex. The clamp-on coordination mode of BT-1 to Cu2+ was demonstrated using Job's plot, mass spectrum (MS) and DFT calculations. The calculations also indicate that Cu2+ was chelated to BT-1 through N and alkyne instead of S and alkyne. The probe could quantify Cu2+ with the detection limit of 3.2 × 10-9 M. The in vitro imaging results indicated that the probe BT-1 was membrane-permeable and could be applied into the recognition of Cu2+ ions in living cells.
