Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a method for preparing organometallic complexes Zn-L, and particularly to a method for preparing organometallic complexes Zn-L based on amidated bisbenzimidazole groups. Background Technology
[0002] The widespread use of antibiotics has played a crucial role in treating bacterial infections, but it has also brought serious problems such as environmental pollution and bacterial resistance. Fluoroquinolone antibiotics, as a class of broad-spectrum antibacterial drugs, are widely used due to their high efficacy and broad spectrum in humans and animals, making them one of the most used antibiotics globally. Ofloxacin (OFL), a fluoroquinolone antibiotic, is widely used in livestock farming to treat bacterial infections and prevent diseases. However, if humans consume food containing OFL over a long period, this substance can accumulate in the body, thus harming health and posing risks of birth defects and cancer.
[0003] Traditional antibiotic detection methods typically require complex sample pretreatment, expensive equipment, and specialized personnel, limiting their widespread practical application. Due to these limitations, fluorescent probe technology, with its high sensitivity, rapid response, ease of operation, and low cost, has attracted considerable attention.
[0004] Zero-dimensional coordination complexes, including discrete organometallic clusters and mononuclear systems, exhibit significant advantages in sensing applications. In zero-dimensional systems, the fluorescence emission centers are not spatially confined, facilitating unimpeded analyte interactions and thus improving molecular recognition efficiency and accelerating response kinetics. Simultaneously, π-conjugated zero-dimensional complexes show particular promise through synergistic photophysical properties and unique interactions (such as π-π stacking, hydrogen bonding, and electrostatic effects), which collectively enhance sensing selectivity.
[0005] Therefore, exploring the preparation and application of a simple, easy-to-implement, highly selective, highly sensitive, simple-to-prepare, and low-cost zero-dimensional zinc-based complex has great application potential. Summary of the Invention

This invention uses zinc chloride as the metal source and amidated benzimidazole groups as the organic ligands, and prepares Zn-L complexes via a solvothermal method. This method has the advantages of simple synthesis, convenient operation, and being environmentally friendly and pollution-free. The prepared fluorescent probe Zn-L exhibits excellent selectivity and sensitivity to fluoroquinolone antibiotics. Combined with hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) discriminant platform, accurate identification of structurally similar fractional-quantitative (FQS) groups is achieved. This fluorescent probe, which selectively recognizes and detects fluoroquinolone antibiotics, possesses extremely high specificity, sensitivity, and excellent application prospects.
