The invention provides a hemicyanin probe compound, and establishes a method for detecting
sulfite ions and
sulfur ions in a solution by probe molecules under
ultraviolet visible and fluorescent conditions. Common anions are respectively added into a C2H5OH-
Hepes buffer solution, only
sulfite and
sulfide ions are changed, the
sulfite ions can fade the solution, the
fluorescence intensity of the solution is weakened and the anti-interference performance is good, and the
sulfide ions can deepen the color of the solution, enhance the
fluorescence intensity of the solution and have good anti-interference performance. Meanwhile, the residual quantity of
sulfur dioxide in the stoving traditional Chinese medicinal materials is taken as a detection target, the stoving traditional Chinese medicinal materials are treated under an alkaline condition, and ultra-sensitive and
rapid detection of the stoving traditional Chinese medicinal materials is realized through a
standard curve method. The semi-cyanin probe compound has the advantages of high analysis speed, stable
fluorescence performance, real-time detection and the like when being used for determining the content of
sulfur dioxide residues in traditional Chinese medicinal materials, and has popularization and application values in
sulfur dioxide residue detection in the fields of traditional Chinese medicines, foods and the like.
