In recent years, tetracyclines (TCs) is a hot research topic. Herein, we report an interesting discovery using the complexation of oxytetracycline and metal ions. In this study, according to the properties of Fe3 O4 nanoparticles (Fe3 O4 NPs) as a nanoenzyme, it can be used to catalyze the oxidation of KI by H2 O2 to produce I3 - , while at the same time I3 - binds to rhodamine 6G (Rh6G) to form a conjoined particle (Rh6G~I3 )n , leading to a decrease in the fluorescence intensity of Rh6G. However, in the presence of TCs, Fe3 O4 NPs have a synergistic effect with TCs, leading to enhanced catalytic activity, as well as better selectivity compared to the activity of other reducing enzymes...
