  • Title: A simple and highly selective 1,2,4,5-tetrazine-based colorimetric probe for HSO3 - ion recognition in food.

    Journal: RSC Adv; 2018 Sep 24; 8(58):33459-33463. PubMed ID: 35548118.
    Abstract:
    A series of 3,6-bis-substituted-1,2,4,5-tetrazine-based colorimetric probes has been developed in good yields that exhibits highly selective and sensitive colorimetric recognition of HSO3 - in aqueous solution. The color of the solution containing colorimetric probes changed markedly from orange to colorless, upon the addition of HSO3 -. Quantification of the absorption titration analysis shows that the detection limit of 3,6-bis(2-aminoethylamino)-1,2,4,5-tetrazine (2a) for HSO3 - was 3.8 μM. It was noted that 3,6-bis-substituted-1,2,4,5-tetrazine-based colorimetric probes have a specific response toward HSO3 - without interference from other 17 different anions and 16 common cations. A plausible mechanism was proposed by high-resolution mass spectroscopy analysis and NMR spectrometry analysis, involving the nucleophilic reaction of a bisulfite anion with the tetrazine ring and free radical rearrangement of ·SO3H. Moreover, probes 2a-2c possessed applicability for sensing bisulfite in actual food samples. Therefore, the present work established a novel strategy for investigating bisulfite in food or other products.
