This invention relates to a dual-response fluorescent probe, its preparation method, and its application in the detection of
dichlorvos and
tin ions. The fluorescent probe is synthesized via a
Schiff base condensation reaction using
rhodamine B
hydrazide intermediate and 3-methoxy-5-bromosalicylic acid
aldehyde as raw materials. The probe specifically recognizes
dichlorvos (DDV) and
tin ions in a DMSO / H₂O (v:v=3:7)
system. Under 350 nm excitation, the
fluorescence is significantly enhanced at 590 nm, and the solution
color changes from colorless to pink (DDV) or orange-red (
tin ions), respectively. The probe has a low
detection limit (DDV: 1.912 × 10⁻⁶). ‑8 M, Sn 4+ 3.623×10 ‑7 M), fast response (DDV: 4 min, Sn) 4+ Advantages include short
response time (5 min), strong anti-interference ability, and wide
pH range (2-12). Mechanistic studies show that the probe binds to DDV in a 1:1 ratio via
hydrogen bonds and to Sn. 4+ A six-membered ring chelate is formed through
oxygen /
nitrogen atom coordination at a 2:1 ratio. Based on this probe, a portable paper-based fluorescent sensor was successfully used to detect
dichlorvos in actual fruit and vegetable samples such as cucumbers, grapes, and tomatoes, as well as Sn in actual water samples such as Yellow
River water and
tap water. 4+
Visual detection and spiked
recovery experiments were conducted; dichlorvos and Sn were successfully detected in live
zebrafish. 4+ The invention utilizes
fluorescence imaging and, combined with a smartphone, establishes a visual quantitative detection
fluorescence sensing platform, enabling on-site quantitative detection. This invention provides a new technical means for the rapid, sensitive, and visual on-site detection of dichlorvos and tin
ion residues in environmental and biological systems.
