A Pyrene-based Highly Selective Turn-on Fluorescent Sensor for Copper(II) Ion and its Application in Live Cell Imaging
A new pyrene derivative (chemosensor 1 ) containing a picolinohydrazide moiety exhibits high selectivity for Cu 2+ ion detection in mixed aqueous media (CH 3 OH:H 2 O = 7:3). Significant fluorescence enhancement was observed with chemosensor 1 in the presence of Cu 2+ . However, the metal ions Ag +...

Summary: | A new pyrene derivative (chemosensor
1
) containing a picolinohydrazide moiety exhibits high selectivity for Cu
2+
ion detection in mixed aqueous media (CH

OH:H

O = 7:3). Significant fluorescence enhancement was observed with chemosensor
1
in the presence of Cu
2+
. However, the metal ions Ag

produced only minor changes in fluorescence for the system. The apparent association constant (

) of Cu
2+
binding in chemosensor
1
was found to be 2.75*10

. The maximum fluorescence enhancement caused by Cu
2+
binding in chemosensor
1
was observed over the pH range 5–8. Moreover, by means of fluorescence microscopy experiments, it is demonstrated that
1
can be used as a fluorescent probe for detecting Cu

in living cells. |
