摘要

A new fluorescent probe, rhodamine B hydrazide oxalamide (RBHO), which shows very weak fluorescence, was synthesized, and its fluorescence could be substantially enhanced by the addition of copper ion. The probe shows a high selectivity and sensitivity to copper ion by forming a 1: 1 complex in acetonitrile, and the chelating is reversible. Limit of detection for copper ion in acetonitrile was found to be 3.7 x 10(-8) mol L-1. It was also found that copper ion could catalyze the hydrolysis of the probe in 50% (v/v) buffered (10 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.0) water/acetonitrile giving a highly fluorescent product, and the fluorescence detection of copper ion was developed in this neutral buffered media with a detection limit of 6.4 x 10(-7) mol L(-)1. Determination of copper ion in water and synthetic samples in the presence of different interfering metal ions was successfully carried out with the new probe RBHO.
