A new rhodamine-based fluorescent chemodosimeter for mercuric ions in water media.
A new rhodamine-ethylenediamine-nitrothiourea conjugate (RT) was synthesized and its sensing property as a fluorescent chemodosimeter toward metal ions was explored in water media. Analytical results from absorption and fluorescence spectra revealed that the addition of Hg(2+) ions to the aqueous solution of the chemodosimeter RT caused a distinct fluorescence OFF-ON response with a remarkable visual color change from colorless to pink; however, no clear spectral and color changes were observed from other metal ions including: Zn(2+) , Cu(2+) , Cd(2+) , Pb(2+) , Ag(+) , Fe(2+) , Cr(3+) , Co(3+) , Ni(2+) , Ca(2+) , Mg(2+) , K(+) and Na(+) . The sensing results and the molecular structure suggested that a Hg(2+) -induced a desulfurization reaction and cyclic guanylation of the thiourea moiety followed by ring-opening of the rhodamine spirolactam in RT are responsible for a distinct fluorescence turn-on signal, indicating that RT is a remarkably sensitive and selective chemodosimeter for Hg(2+) ions in aqueous solution. Hg(2+) within a concentration range from 0.1 to 25 μM can be determined using RT as a chemodosimeter and a detection limit of 0.04 μM is achieved.
