This article presents a novel fluorescent probe, Eu-BTB, for the efficient detection of Cu2+ ions in water. The probe demonstrates exceptional fluorescence characteristics and utilizes an antenna effect triggered by the interaction between the probe ligand BTB and Eu3+. It offers a rapid and accurate measurement of Cu2+ ions concentration.
Water contamination caused by heavy metals represents an urgent global issue. Cu2+, a potential trace heavy metal pollutant, can accumulate in the human body through the food chain, leading to excessive levels that give rise to diverse health complications. Hence, in this investigation, a novel and efficacious fluorescent probe named Eu-BTB was developed for the detection of Cu2+, employing 1,3,5-triphenyl(4-carboxyphenyl) (H3BTB) as the ligand and Eu3+ as the metallic framework. The probe demonstrates exceptional fluorescence characteristics. The interaction between the probe ligand BTB and Eu3+ triggers an antenna effect, heightening the emission efficiency of Eu3+ while preserving its intrinsic emission. The introduction of Cu2+ competes with BTB for binding, thus quelling the antenna effect and inducing a fluorescence alteration. Within the concentration range of 0.05-10 mu M, the fluorescence intensity-to-Cu2+ concentration ratio exhibits a robust linear correlation, with a remarkably low detection limit of 10 nM and a rapid response time of 3 min. The fluorescent probe has been effectively deployed for the detection of copper ions in water across diverse environmental conditions, with the obtained outcomes being validated via the conventional approach of inductively coupled plasma mass
