Enhancing the sensitivity of a surface plasmon resonance-based optical sensor for zinc ion detection by the modification of a gold thin film
摘要： Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensors as novel optical sensors for the detection of a variety of analytes have been receiving increasing attention and their sensitivity has become the research hotspot recently. In this study, the sensitivity of an SPR optical sensor was enhanced by modifying a gold thin film with a nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC)-based material for zinc ion (Zn2+) detection that exists in the environment due to industrial processing. By replacing the gold thin film with a novel modified-gold thin film, Zn2+ can be detected from the range of 0 to 10 ppm using SPR. It is believed that the Zn2+ may interact with the negative charge molecules that exist on the modified-gold thin film, and this was confirmed via X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Moreover, this modified-gold-SPR has a high sensitivity of 1.892° ppm?1 up to 0.1 ppm with an enhanced detection of Zn2+ as low as 0.01 ppm. The SPR results also followed the Langmuir isotherm model with a binding affinity of 1.927 × 103 M?1, which further confirmed the sensitivity of the SPR sensor. In addition, using the modified-gold thin film, SPR has a higher affinity towards Zn2+ compared to other metal ions, i.e. Ni2+, Fe2+, Cr2+, Mn2+, and Co2+.

A fluorescent and colorimetric Schiff base chemosensor for the detection of Zn2+ and Cu2+: Application in live cell imaging and colorimetric test kit
摘要： A novel Schiff base chemosensor HMID, ((E)-1-((2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzylidene)amino)imidazolidine-2,4-dione), have been designed and synthesized. Sensor HMID showed a selectivity to Zn2+ through fluorescence enhancement in aqueous solution. Its detection limit was analyzed as 11.9 μM. Importantly, compound HMID could be applied to image Zn2+ in live cells. Detection mechanism of Zn2+ by HMID was suggested to be an effect of chelation-enhanced fluorescence (CHEF) by DFT calculations. Moreover, HMID could detect Cu2+ with a change of color from colorless to pink. The selective detection mechanism of Cu2+ by HMID was demonstrated to be the promotion of intramolecular charge transfer band by DFT calculations. Additionally, HMID could be employed as a naked-eye colorimetric kit for Cu2+. Therefore, HMID has the ability as a 'single sensor for dual targets'.

Isomerism and coordination mode effects on two-photon absorption of tris(picolyl)amine-based fluorescent probes for zinc ions
摘要： One-photon absorption and two-photon absorption (TPA) properties of three tris(picolyl)amine-based zinc ion sensors are investigated by employing the density functional response theory in combination with the polarizable continuum model. The different isomer and coordination geometry of each probe are taken into account. Special emphasis is placed on the effects of isomerism and the coordination mode on the optical properties. The intra-molecular charge transfer (ICT) properties are specified by natural bond orbital charge analysis. It is shown that the isomerism has non-negligible effects on TPA properties of free ligands. It is found that both the TPA wavelength and the cross section are highly dependent on the coordination mode. When the zinc ion connects with the picolyl unit in the middle of a ligand, the zinc complex has a large TPA intensity in a long wavelength range due to the increased ICT mechanism.
