摘要
A chromophoric ruthenium complex-assembled nanophosphor (N719-UCNPs) was achieved as a highly selective water-soluble probe for upconversion luminescence sensing and bioimaging of intracellular mercury Ions. The prepared nanophosphors were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (EDXA), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Further application of N719-UCNPs in sensing Hg2+ was confirmed by optical titration experiment and upconversion luminescence live cell Imaging. Using the ratiometric upconversion luminescence as a detection signal, the detection limit of Hg2+ for this nanoprobe in water was down to 1.95 ppb, lower than the maximum level (2 ppb) of He2+ in drinking water set by the United States EPA. Importantly, the nanoprobe N719-UCNPs has been shown to be capable of monitoring changes in the distribution of Hg2+ in living cells by upconversion luminescence bioimaging.
