Cao, Xiaorui; Zhang, Feifei; Bai, Yinjuan; Ding, Xiaohu; Sun, Wei published the artcile< A Highly Selective ""Turn-on"" Fluorescent Probe for Detection of Fe3+ in Cells>, Synthetic Route of 950846-89-6, the main research area is rhodamine fluorescent probe cell imaging iron detection; Cell imaging; DFT calculations; Fe3 +; Fluorescent probe; Rhodamine.
A new “”turn-on”” fluorescent probe Py based on rhodamine and piperonaldehyde was designed and synthesized for detecting Fe3+ in cells. The free probe Py was non-fluorescent. While only upon addition of Fe3+, the significant increase of the fluorescence and color were observed which could be visible directly by “”naked-eye””. The probe Py shows high selectivity and sensitivity for Fe3+ over other common metal ions in EtOH-H2O (3/2, volume/volume) mixed solution The association constant and the detection limit were calculated to be 4.81 x 104 M-1 and 1.18 x 10-8 mol/L resp. The introduction of piperonaldehyde unit could increase probe rigidity which could enhance its optical properties. Meanwhile, the binding mode between Py and Fe3+ was found to be a 1:1 complex formation. The d. functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed which would further confirm the recognition mechanism between probe Py and Fe3+. In addition, the probe has been proved to be reversible for detecting Fe3+. Moreover, the probe Py was used to detect Fe3+ in cells successfully.
