Abstract:
A novel “on–off” fluorescent probe was synthesized for highly sensitive and ultra-trace determination of ammonia nitrogen in aquaculture water. Ammonium can react with formaldehyde and sodium hydroxide to form a ring substance (urotropine), which shows no fluorescence signal. Palmatine hydrochloride (PAL) can enter the hydrophobic cavity of cucurbit[7]uril (CB[7] ), eventually forming a 1 : 1 host guest complex called PAL@CB[7] under neutral or acidic conditions, which has strong green fluorescence with the maximum excitation ( λ ex ) wavelength at 343 nm, and the maximum emission ( λ em ) wavelength at 500 nm, while urotropine has a fluorescence quenching effect on the fluorescence enhancement system of PAL@CB[7]. Therefore, a fluorescent chemosensor based on PAL@CB[7] and the reaction of ammonia nitrogen with formaldehyde was developed. The results indicate that the linearity range and the limit of detection of the proposed method are 1–300 μg L −1 with a good correlation coefficient ( r 2 = 0.9966) and 1.8 × 10 −2 μg L −1 , respectively. Under the optimal conditions, the method was employed for the detection of ammonia nitrogen in real aquaculture water samples, revealing high selectivity and sensitivity. In the future, the combination of the “on–off” fluorescence method, a portable hardware system and intelligent algorithms will provide technology support for the design of on-line sensors for measuring ammonia nitrogen in aquaculture water.
