Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of fluorescent probes, specifically relating to pyrene-based POSS derivatives, their synthesis methods, and applications. Background Technology

[0002] Fluorescent probes have wide applications in fields such as bioimaging, environmental monitoring, and metal ion detection. Pyrene is a common aromatic fluorescent molecule with a strong π-π electron conjugation system, resulting in high fluorescence quantum yield and high sensitivity to environmental changes, making it suitable for constructing fluorescent probes. Covalently introducing the pyrene group into the POSS structure not only endows the material with excellent fluorescence properties but also utilizes the structural rigidity of POSS to improve fluorescence stability and reduce aggregation quenching effects.

[0003] Cage-like silsesquioxanes (POSS) possess advantages such as high order, rigidity, and ease of functionalization. As fluorescent probe carriers, they can effectively improve molecular stability, dispersibility, and fluorescence performance. Therefore, integrating POSS with a Py structure holds promise for obtaining a novel fluorescent probe with excellent fluorescence response.

[0004] As is well known, ion recognition is an indispensable part of modern sensor design and research, its role extending beyond detection and analysis to drive innovation in smart materials, precision medicine, and green industry. Fluorescent probe technology, with its advantages of high sensitivity, real-time detection, and ease of operation, has become an important method for anion detection. However, some probes are sensitive to metal ions but show little signal change, and many probes exhibit insolubility in various solvents. This invention synthesizes materials by polymerizing cage-type silsesquioxanes with pyrene groups, selects some typical anions for fluorescence intensity detection in various organic solvents, and performs adsorption recognition.

[0026] Example 1

[0027] Preparation of POSS derivatives based on pyrene

[0028] The preparation steps are as follows: A porous polymer was prepared by reacting Py and POSS using a Heck coupling method. 632 mg of octavinyl POSS (1 mmol), 90 mg of palladium acetate (0.4 mmol), and 210 mg of triphenylphosphine (0.8 mmol) were added to a mixed solvent (45 mL / 15 mL) of tetrahydrofuran and triethylamine (THF / NEt3) and placed in a 100 mL round-bottom flask equipped with a reflux condenser. The solution was bubbled with argon at room temperature for 30 minutes. After bubbling, 2.474 g of 1-bromopyrene was added, and the mixture was heated to 80 °C and reacted under argon protection for 48 h. After the reaction was complete, the mixture was cooled to room temperature. The palladium catalyst was initially filtered through a Buchner funnel, and the supernatant was precipitated by adding a methanol solution containing 5% HCl. The supernatant was rotary evaporated to obtain a pale yellow powder. The precipitate was redissolved in a minimal amount of dichloromethane (DCM) and subjected to column chromatography. The eluent was petroleum ether: dichloromethane = 3:1. The obtained product was extracted with methanol and n-hexane by Soxhlet extraction for one day each, and finally a bright yellow powder was obtained.

[0029] Material characterization: Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was used. Figure 1 ) and solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy 1H ( Figure 2 ), ultraviolet-visible spectrum ( Figure 3 The chemical structure of the cage-like silsesquioxane and pyrene group polymer was confirmed, and the product structures were found to be correct after analysis.

[0030] The cage-like silsesquioxane and the novel fluorescent probe with a pyrene group from Example 1 were dissolved in an equal volume of organic solvent for liquid ultraviolet-visible light detection. Figure 3 As shown.

[0031] The cage-like silsesquioxane and the novel fluorescent probe with a pyrene group from Example 1 were dissolved in the same volume of organic solvent for fluorescence emission intensity detection. Figures 4-7 It is evident that the fluorescence properties of POSS-py are significantly affected by solvent polarity. The fluorescence intensity is highest in DCM, decreases in THF and DMF, and is lowest in DMSO.

[0032] The cage-like silsesquioxane and the novel fluorescent probe with a pyrene group from Example 1 were dissolved in the same volume of organic solvent for fluorescence emission intensity detection, and the same volume of anions were added. Figures 4-7 As shown. After comparison, F - Fluorescence is enhanced in DCM and THF, two solvents with lower polarity, while it is not obvious in DMSO and DMF. - ClO4 - and SO4 2-Fluorescence intensity decreased in both DMSO and DMF solvents, ClO4 - and SO4 2- It exhibits fluorescence quenching effect in DCM and THF.

[0033] The physical mixture of octavinylPOSS and 1-bromopyrene reactants from Example 1 was dissolved in an equal volume of DCM for fluorescence detection, and an equal volume of anion was added. Figure 8 As shown, through Figure 4 The comparison reveals that the highest peak of the fluorescence curve in the spectrum has been blue-shifted by approximately 40 nm, indicating that a new substance, POSS-py, was obtained through the HECK coupling reaction. The fluorescence intensity shows that the fluorescence intensity for the analyte ion, POSS-py, is relatively strong. Figure 4 and Figure 8 The comparison fully demonstrates that Pyrene POSS possesses crucial stability.
