摘要
In this study, we have developed a novel nanoprobe for H2O2 based on the conjugation of CdTe@ZnS quantum dots (QDs) to different metal tetraamino-phthalocyanine (MTAPc): (M = (OAc)Al, {OAc = acetate}, Ni and Zn). Chemical coordination of the QDs to the MTAPc resulted in the fluorescence "switch off" of the linked QDs which was associated with Forster resonance energy transfer (FRET). In the presence of varying concentration of H2O2, the fluorescence of the linked QDs was progressively "switched on" and the FRET mechanism between the QDs and the MTAPc was disrupted. The sensitivity/limit of detection of the nanoprobe followed the order: QDs-ZnTAPc (2.2 mu M) > QDs-NiTAPc (4.4 mu M) > QDs-AlTAPc (9.8 mu M) while the selectivity followed the order: QDs-NiTAPc > QDs-AlTAPc > QDs-ZnTAPc. The varying degree of sensitivity/selectivity and mechanism of detection is discussed in detail.
