  • Title: A Highly Selective and Sensitive Colorimetric Probe for Cu2+ Determination in Aqueous Media Based on Derivative of Tryptanthrin.
    Author: Liang Y, Wang X, Fang H, Han N, Wang C, Xiao Z, Zhu A, Liu J.
    Journal: Anal Sci; 2018; 34(10):1111-1115. PubMed ID: 30305590.
    Abstract:
    A new colorimetric probe, based on tryptanthrin derivative (TR-A), has been successfully synthesized. The probe shows good selectivity and sensitivity for Cu2+ over 12 competing metal ions in a 10 mM Tris-HCl buffer solution (pH 5.5). A significant peak at 623nm appears in the UV-Vis absorption of TR-A-Cu2+, and a noteworthy color change is observed with the naked eye from aquamarine blue to light orange. The interaction of TR-A and Cu2+ are proven to form a 1:1 binding stoichiometry; this identifying is expected to be completed within 1 min. The probe with a limit of detection (16 nM, R2 = 0.9934) shows excellent potential to determine Cu2+ in analysis systems.
