    Abstract:
    The present work constructs a sequentially triggered nanoswitch (STN) for sequential detection of Cr3+, P2O74- (PPi) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) depending on polythymine (T40) templated fluorescent Cu nanoparticles (Cu NPs). A significant phenomenon is that Cr3+ can only causing 5% QE of fluorescent Cu NPs synthesized by lower than 500 μM Cu2+, but the fluorescence of the Cu NPs synthesized by more than 500 μM Cu 2+ can be quenched up to 90% QE by the same concentration of Cr3+. Then the quenched fluorescence of CuNP-Cr3+ complex provides a sensing platform for PPi due to the strong binding between Cr3+ and PPi, resulting in dissociation of Cr3+ from the surface of Cu NPs and the recovery of fluorescence emission. Further ALP hydrolysis of PPi disrupts Cr3+-PPi assemble and Cr3+ is released to interact with Cu NPs, which induces fluorescence quenching again. Thus, sequentially detection of Cr3+ (LOD, 0.03 μM), PPi (LOD, 0.005 μM) and ALP (LOD, 0.125 mU/mL) was successfully implemented with high sensitivity and selectivity. The sensor is also successfully used for Cr3+, PPi and ALP assays in the human serum. Additionally, the sensitive "on-off-on-off" sensing behavior of the Cu NPs allow three chemical inputs (Cr3+, PPi and ALP) to construct a logic gate.
