摘要

A chemiluminescence resonance energy transfer (CRET) method was fabricated for the determination of indolyl acetic acid (IAA) by using Ce(IV)-Na2SO3 in a chemiluminescence (CL) reaction as the donor and luminescent nitrogen-doped carbon dots (N-CDs) as the acceptor. The CL intensity from the redox reaction of Ce(IV) and Na2SO3 in acidic medium increased significantly in the presence of N-CDs because the absorption band of N-CDs perfectly overlapped with the luminescence spectra of excited SO2 from the reaction of Ce(IV)-Na2SO3. Further, IAA was observed to inhibit the CL signal of the N-CDs-Ce(IV)-Na(2)S(O)3 system, which made it applicable for the determination of IAA. The linear range was 2.0 x 10(-8)-1.0 x 10(-6) mol L-1 and the detection limit was 5.6 x 10(-9) mol L-1. This work is not only of importance for gaining a better understanding of the unique optical and physical chemistry properties of doping carbon dots with heteroatoms but also has great potential to find CL applications in many fields.
