Popis: The antipyrine-based fluorescence probe daph, structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, can recognize both Zn2+ (at 520 nm, yellow) and Al3+ (at 490 nm, green). However, Al3+ selectivity is enhanced significantly when the dinuclear ZnII-daph complex is used as a sensor, which senses Al3+ by a displacement approach. The binding constants of daph for Zn2+ and Al3+ are (4.9 ± 0.2) × 104 and (3 ± 0.1) × 105 M–1, respectively. The higher water solubility of the ZnII-daph complex allows the detection of Al3+ in a greener way (0.1 M HEPES buffer, ethanol/water = 1:9, v/v, pH 7.4). Moreover, the detection limit of the ZnII-daph complex for Al3+ is higher (2.5 × 10–9 M) than that of free daph (4.6 × 10–8 M). Alkali and alkaline-earth metal ions, Cd2+, Hg2+, and Pb2+, and 3d metal ions do not interfere. Both daph and the ZnII-daph complex are capable of intracellular Al3+ detection.
