摘要

To develop sensitive and selective S2- chemosensors, a new disubstituted polyacetylene (P2) bearing pyridine moieties in the side chains was prepared conveniently through a postfunctional method, the strong green fluorescence of which could be completely quenched by Cu2+ ions at the concentration as low as 2.0 x 10(-6) mol/L in diluted solutions. Based on the displacement strategy, by utilizing the much higher stability constant of the complex of S2- and Cu2+ the quenched fluorescence of the solution of P2 by Cu2+ ions could recover upon the addition of trace S2- anions, with the detection limit down to 5.0 x 10(-7) mol/L. Moreover, no interference were observed from other anions, including SO32-, HSO3-, SO42-, ClO4-, I-, Br-, Cl-, F-, IO3-, HPO42-, PO43-, C2O42-, S2O32-, CO32-, AcO-, CN-, and P2O74-, making P2 a novel, sensitive, and selective sulfide probe.
