    Journal: Spectrochim Acta A Mol Biomol Spectrosc; 2014 Jul 15; 128():475-80. PubMed ID: 24682064.
    Abstract:
    A novel fluorescent chemosensor bearing a rhodamine and a dansyl moiety was developed for highly selective detection of Fe(3+) based on fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) mechanism. Binding of Fe(3+) to the chemosensor induced spirolactam ring opening in the rhodamine moiety and subsequent off-on FRET from the dansyl energy donor to the rhodamine energy acceptor due to the spectral overlap between the emission of the dansyl moiety and the absorption of the ring opened rhodamine moiety. Job's plot analysis indicated a 1:1 binding stoichiometry between the chemosensor and Fe(3+). The association constant was estimated to be 2.72×10(3) M(-1) according to the Benesi-Hildebrand method. With the feature of easy synthesis, simple structural skeleton and excellent sensing ability, the newly synthesized chemosensor provided the potential for applying as a highly selective fluorescent probe in complex samples containing various competitive metal ions and developing other metal ion chemosensors to fulfill various needs of biological and environmental field.
