Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of chemical analysis and detection, and relates to a colorimetric-fluorescence dual-channel near-infrared probe for specific detection of H2S, its preparation method and application. Background Technology

[0002] Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is considered a potential energy storage medium because it can release hydrogen gas through decomposition reactions. It is widely present in underground environments and is also a common byproduct of various industrial processes such as leather tanning, food processing, papermaking, and oil refining. However, it is a colorless and highly toxic gas, and has become a significant pollutant in aquatic systems, causing mass mortality of aquatic organisms and severely disrupting the underwater ecological balance. Furthermore, low concentrations of H2S can irritate the eyes and lungs and cause olfactory fatigue; high concentrations can lead to loss of consciousness, respiratory failure, and even death. Therefore, establishing accurate and convenient H2S detection methods is of great significance for ensuring safe production and achieving comprehensive environmental safety monitoring.

[0003] In recent years, fluorescent probe detection methods have attracted much attention from researchers. Compared with traditional H2S detection methods such as electrochemical analysis, colorimetric determination, gas chromatography, and chemiluminescence (CL), fluorescent probe methods have significant advantages such as high sensitivity, good selectivity, simple operation, low cost, and real-time non-invasive detection. Based on this, a series of H2S fluorescent probes designed through different mechanisms such as reduction reactions, thiolysis reactions, metal substitution reactions, and disulfide bond exchange reactions have been successfully developed. Although existing probes have achieved good detection performance, they still generally suffer from problems such as short emission wavelength, small Stokes shift, high detection limit, and insufficient selectivity, which limit their application in practical sample detection. More importantly, background fluorescence interference remains a key factor restricting the improvement of the performance of these probes. Near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent probes, with their characteristics of weak light scattering, strong tissue penetration, and low autofluorescence, can significantly reduce background interference in environmental and biological samples, providing an effective way to solve this problem. Furthermore, fluorescent probes with clear colorimetric signals can be directly observed for color changes with the naked eye, thus enabling naked-eye detection without instruments and further enhancing their potential for field applications.

[0004] Therefore, developing novel colorimetric-fluorescence dual-channel near-infrared fluorescent probes is of great research significance and application prospect for achieving convenient, highly sensitive and reliable H2S detection. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing H2S detection methods, this invention constructs a novel colorimetric-fluorescence dual-channel near-infrared probe using xanthracene as the basic framework and 2,4-dinitrophenyl (DNP) as the specific recognition group.

[0008] Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing the colorimetric-fluorescence dual-channel near-infrared probe for specific detection of H2S, the preparation and synthesis route of which is as follows:

[0009]

[0010] The preparation method includes the following steps:

[0011] Step (1): Compound 1 was prepared using anhydrous N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), dichloromethane (CH2Cl2), phosphorus tribromide (PBr3), and cyclohexanone as reactants;

[0012] Step (2): Compound 1, cesium carbonate Cs2CO3 and 2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzaldehyde were added to organic solvent A and reacted under stirring. After post-treatment, compound 2 was obtained.

[0013] Step (3): At 0 °C, boron tribromide (BBr3) was slowly added dropwise to a dichloromethane solution containing compound 2; the reaction was carried out with stirring, and the compound 3 was obtained after post-treatment.

[0014] Step (4): At 0°C, 3-hydroxy-3-methyl-2-butanone, malononitrile and sodium ethoxide are dissolved in organic solvent B to obtain a mild solution, which is then heated and reacted to obtain TCF.

[0015] Step (5): Compound 3 and TCF are dissolved in organic solvent C and reacted under inert gas protection. After the reaction is completed, post-treatment is performed to obtain TEC-OH.

[0016] Step (6): Under the protection of an inert gas at 0°C, slowly add a dichloromethane solution B containing 2,4-dinitrofluorobenzene to a dichloromethane solution A containing TEC-OH and triethylamine; then heat the reaction solution to carry out the reaction, and post-process to obtain the probe TEC-H2S.

[0017] The specific preparation method is as follows:

[0018] Step (1): At 0°C, phosphorus tribromide (PBr3) was slowly added dropwise to a mixed solution of anhydrous N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) and dichloromethane (CH2Cl2). The solution was then heated to 10–40°C to form a white suspension, and cyclohexanone was added dropwise. The reaction was stirred at 10–40°C for 8–16 hours. After the reaction was complete, the mixture was poured into ice water, and the pH was adjusted to neutral with sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) solid. The mixture was then extracted multiple times with dichloromethane (CH2Cl2), and the organic phase was collected and concentrated to obtain a yellow oily substance, compound 1.

[0019] Furthermore, the volume ratio of anhydrous N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) to dichloromethane (CH2Cl2) in the mixed solution is 1:2 to 1:5. 0.5 to 1.5 mL of phosphorus tribromide (PBr3) and 0.2 to 0.8 mL of cyclohexanone are added to every 10.0 mL of the mixed solution.

[0020] Step (2): Compound 1, cesium carbonate (Cs₂CO₃), and 2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzaldehyde were added to organic solvent A to dissolve the mixture, and the mixture was stirred at 10–40°C for 8–16 hours. After the reaction was completed, the mixture was quenched with water, extracted multiple times with dichloromethane (CH₂Cl₂), and the organic phase was collected and concentrated to obtain the crude product. The crude product was recrystallized from ethyl acetate to obtain a yellow solid, which is compound 2.

[0021] Furthermore, the organic solvent A includes N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), dichloromethane (CH2Cl2), and ethanol (CH3CH2OH). Each 15.0 mL of organic solvent A contains 2.0–6.0 g of compound 1, 2.00–6.00 g of cesium carbonate (Cs2CO3), and 0.50–1.50 g of 2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzaldehyde.

The reaction solution was then heated to 10–40 °C and stirred for 8–16 hours. After the reaction was complete, water was added to quench the reaction, and the mixture was extracted multiple times with dichloromethane (CH2Cl2). The organic phase was collected and concentrated to obtain the crude product. Finally, the crude product was purified by silica gel column chromatography using a mixed solvent of dichloromethane and methanol as washing agent to obtain the orange solid, which is compound 3.

[0023] Furthermore, 2.00~9.00 g of boron tribromide (BBr3) and 0.50~1.50 g of compound 2 are added to each 10.0 mL of dichloromethane (CH2Cl2) solution.

[0024] Step (4): At 0°C, 3-hydroxy-3-methyl-2-butanone, malononitrile, and sodium ethoxide are dissolved in organic solvent B to obtain a mild solution. The solution is then heated at 60-100°C for 0.5-2.5 hours. After the reaction solution cools to room temperature, the precipitate is collected by filtration to obtain a grayish-white solid, TCF.

[0025] Furthermore, the organic solvent B includes ethanol and N,N-dimethylformamide. Each 6.0 mL of organic solvent B contains 0.50-1.50 g of 3-hydroxy-3-methyl-2-butanone, 0.50-1.50 g of malononitrile, and 0.05-0.30 g of sodium ethoxide.

[0026] Step (5): Compound 3 and TCF were dissolved in organic solvent C and reacted under inert gas protection at 60-100°C for 8-16 hours with stirring. After the reaction was completed, the mixture was cooled to room temperature and filtered to obtain the crude product. The crude product was then purified by silica gel column chromatography using a mixed solvent of dichloromethane and methanol as washing agent to obtain a dark green solid, namely compound TEC-OH.

[0027] Furthermore, the organic solvent C includes ethanol and N,N-dimethylformamide, and the inert gas includes nitrogen and argon. The molar ratio of compound 3 to TCF is 1:1 to 1:3.

[0028] Step (6): Under inert gas protection at 0°C, a solution B of dichloromethane (CH2Cl2) containing 2,4-dinitrofluorobenzene was slowly added dropwise to dichloromethane (CH2Cl2) A containing TEC-OH and triethylamine. The reaction solution was then heated to 10–40°C and stirred for 8–16 hours. After the reaction was complete, the solvent was removed by concentration to obtain the crude product. The crude product was then purified by silica gel column chromatography using a mixed solvent of dichloromethane and methanol as washing agent to obtain the dark green solid product, namely the probe TEC-H2S.

[0029] Furthermore, the inert gas includes nitrogen and argon. The volume ratio of dichloromethane (CH2Cl2) solution A to dichloromethane (CH2Cl2) solution B is 5:1 to 10:1. 0.10 to 1.00 g of TEC-OH and 0.10 to 1.00 g of triethylamine are added to every 30.0 mL of dichloromethane (CH2Cl2) solution A. 0.10 to 0.50 g of 2,4-dinitrofluorobenzene is added to every 3.0 mL of dichloromethane (CH2Cl2) solution B.

[0030] Another object of the present invention is to provide the application of the colorimetric-fluorescence dual-channel near-infrared probe for specific detection of H2S. Specifically:

[0031] The colorimetric-fluorescence dual-channel near-infrared probe is used for the detection of H2S in water bodies. It is used for highly sensitive and visual detection of trace H2S in environmental water samples. Specifically, it achieves qualitative and quantitative analysis of H2S through a dual response mechanism of colorimetric and fluorescence signals.

[0032] The colorimetric-fluorescence dual-channel near-infrared probe loaded on the test paper is used for the rapid, sensitive, and real-time detection of trace H2S in water and gas. Specifically, by observing the color changes of different concentrations of H2S in water and gas environments through the probe test paper, it is possible to achieve low-cost, convenient, and visual detection of H2S.

[0033] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0034] (1) The fluorescent probe molecule of this invention is constructed with xanthracene modified with a strong electron-withdrawing group tricyanofuran (TFC) as the basic backbone and 2,4-dinitrophenyl (DNP) as the specific recognition group. Under the shielding effect of DNP, the intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) process of the probe is inhibited, resulting in its fluorescence quenching state. In the presence of H2S, the probe molecule first undergoes nucleophilic attack by H2S, undergoes thiolysis, releases a strongly electron-donating hydroxyl group, and then forms a conjugated large π structure with a significant push-pull electron effect, which restores the ICT process, thereby producing strong fluorescence in the 783 nm near-infrared region and exhibiting a large Stokes shift of 103 nm. That is, the probe has the advantages of long emission wavelength (783 nm), large Stokes shift (103 nm), high sensitivity (detection limit up to 81.79 nM), and excellent selectivity and anti-interference ability.

[0035] (2) When the probe molecule of the present invention is used to detect H2S in solution, the solution color changes from blue to cyan, which can realize the visual detection of H2S.

[0036] (3) The probe molecule of the present invention is applied to H2S detection, with a wide detection range, good stability, high sensitivity, a detection limit as low as 81.79 nM, and strong specificity, and is effective for various common metal ions (K). + Na + NH4 + Ba 2+ Zn 2+ Ca 2+ Mg 2+ ,Fe 2+ Fe 3+ , ), inorganic anions (.Cl - , Br - , I - NO2 - NO3 -, ClO - HPO4 - SCN - SO3 2- HSO4 - HCO3 - CO3 2- SO4 2- S2O3 2- C2O4 2- The lack of response and interference from small organic molecules (Cys, Ala) indicates that the probe molecules of this invention can be applied to the sensitive and specific detection of H2S.

[0037] (4) The probe molecules of the present invention are loaded on the test paper and can quickly show obvious color changes in water and gas H2S. It can be used as a low-cost portable tool for the visual semi-quantitative detection of water and gas H2S. Attached Figure Description

[0069] Application Example 1: Absorption and fluorescence spectra of the probe (using the probe synthesized in Example 2) before and after reaction with H2S.

[0070] A probe solution and an aqueous H₂S solution were prepared, and then the probe solution and the aqueous H₂S solution were mixed and reacted for 40 minutes before the absorption and fluorescence spectra were measured. The concentration of the probe in the reaction system was 10 μM, and the concentration of H₂S was 400 μM. All tests were performed in a dimethyl sulfoxide:phosphate buffer (PBS, pH 7.4) aqueous solution (6:4 V / V) system at 25 °C. The absorption spectra are shown below. Figure 3 As shown in (a), the fluorescence spectrum is as follows: Figure 3 As shown in (b), it can be seen from the figure that before reacting with H2S, the probe emits almost no fluorescence and the solution is blue; after the reaction, its fluorescence intensity is significantly enhanced and the solution turns cyan-green, indicating that the probe has the ability to be used for colorimetric visualization detection of H2S.

[0071] Application Example 2: Fluorescence spectra and linear relationships of the probe (using the probe synthesized in Example 2) after reacting with different concentrations of H2S.

[0072] A probe solution and H₂S aqueous solutions of different concentrations were prepared. The probe solution and H₂S aqueous solutions were then mixed and reacted for 40 minutes before fluorescence spectra were measured. The probe concentration in the reaction system was 10 μM, and the H₂S concentration ranged from 0 to 400 μM. The fluorescence spectra are shown below. Figure 4 As shown in (a), the linear relationship is as follows: Figure 4 As shown in (b), the fluorescence intensity of the probe gradually increases with increasing H2S concentration. Within the H2S concentration range of 5–100 μM, the fluorescence intensity exhibits a good linear relationship with the concentration, and the calculated detection limit is 81.79 nM, indicating that this probe can be used for the quantitative detection of trace H2S.

[0073] Application Example 3: Fluorescence and color changes after the probe (using the probe synthesized in Example 2) reacts with H2S and different analytes.

[0074] A probe solution, along with aqueous solutions of H2S and various analytes, were prepared. The probe solution was then mixed with the H2S and analyte aqueous solutions and reacted for 40 minutes before fluorescence spectra were measured. The concentration of the probe in the reaction system was 10 μM, and the concentrations of H2S and various analytes were 400 μM.

[0075] The analytes include: metal ions (K) + Na + NH4 + Ba 2+ Zn 2+ Ca 2+ Mg 2+ Fe 2+ Fe 3+ , ), inorganic anions (.Cl - , Br - , I - NO2 - NO3 - , ClO - HPO4 - SCN - SO3 2- HSO4 - HCO3 - CO3 2- SO4 2- S2O3 2- C2O4 2- ,) and small organic molecules (Cys, Ala).

[0076] like Figure 5 As shown in (a), the probe exhibits a significant fluorescence response only to H2S; Figure 5 (b) shows that common ions do not significantly interfere with the fluorescence response of the probe to H2S, indicating that the probe has excellent selectivity and anti-interference ability for H2S.

[0077] Application Example 4: Application of the probe (using the probe synthesized in Example 2) in the detection of water samples from different real environments.

[0078] Probe solutions and H2S solutions of different concentrations were prepared by filtering lake water, mineral water, and tap water using microporous membranes. Then, a spiked recovery method was used to add different concentrations of H2S to the probe solution, and the recovery rate and relative standard deviation were tested. The probe concentration in the reaction system was 10 μM, and the H2S concentrations were 20.00, 40.00, and 60.00 μM.

[0079] Table 1. Detection of H2S recovery rate in three environmental water samples using the probe TEC-H2S

[0080]

[0081] As shown in Table 1, the H2S recovery rates of the three different water samples ranged from 97.40% to 110.80%, and the relative standard deviations (RSD) were all less than 3.00%, indicating that the probe can be used for accurate quantitative analysis of H2S in environmental water samples.

[0082] Application Example 5: Color change response of probe (using the probe synthesized in Example 2) test paper to different concentrations of water and gas H2S.

[0083] A simple probe test strip can be prepared by immersing filter paper in a 200 μM probe dimethyl sulfoxide solution for 1 minute, then removing it and blowing it with a hair dryer for a period of time.

[0084] Prepare water and gaseous H2S samples of different concentrations, add water phase H2S of different concentrations to probe test paper and observe the color change; at the same time, pass H2S gas of different concentrations into a closed device containing probe test paper and observe the color change of the test paper.

[0085] like Figure 6 As shown in (a), as the concentration of H2S solution added increases, the color of the probe paper gradually changes from blue to yellow, and the color depth gradually increases; Figure 6 (b) shows that as the concentration of H2S in the gas increases, the test strip not only turns significantly yellow, but its response time also shortens with increasing concentration. These results indicate that the probe test strip can be used for convenient, low-cost, and visual detection of H2S in water and gas.
