Abstract

An “off–on” rhodamine-based fluorescence probe for the selective signaling of Cr(III) has been designed by exploiting the guest-induced structure transform mechanism. This system shows a sharp Cr(III)-selective fluorescence enhancement response in 100% aqueous system under physiological pH value and possesses high selectivity against the background of environmentally and biologically relevant metal ions including Cr(VI), Al(III), Fe(III), Cd(II), Co(II), Cu(II), Ni(II), Zn(II), Mg(II), Ba(II), Pb(II), Na(I), and K(I). Under optimum conditions, the fluorescence intensity enhancement of this system is linearly proportional to Cr(III) concentration from 5.0 × 10−8 to 7.0 × 10−6 mol L−1 with a detection limit of 1.6 × 10−8 mol L−1.
