ZnII and CdII complexes of 2,2'-bipyridyl-3,3'-diol: discrimination with time-resolved fluorometry
(1996)
Pharmaceuticals, certain food ingredients, and mammalian endogenous metabolic products in wastewater are mostly of human origin. They are anthropogenic markers.
Proper knowledge of their levels in wastewater helps to track sources of pollutants in natural waters and allows for calculation of removal efficiencies in wastewater Treatment plants. Here, we describe the development and application of an indirect competitive, multiplexing suspension Array fluorescence immunoassay (SAFIA) for the detection of carbamazepine (CBZ), diclofenac (DCF), caffeine (CAF), and isolithocholic acid (ILA) in wastewater, covering those classes of anthropogenic markers. The assay consists of haptens covalently conjugated to fluorescence-encoded polystyrene core/silica shell microparticles to create a site for competitive binding of the antibodies (Abs). Bound Abs are then stained with fluorophore-labeled Abs. Encoding and signaling fluorescence of the particles are determined by an automated flow cytometer.
For compatibility of the immunoassay with the 96-well microtiter plate format, a stop reagent, containing formaldehyde, is used. This enables a wash-free procedure while decreasing time-to-result. Detection limits of 140 ± 40 ng/L for CBZ, 180 ± 110 ng/L for CAF, 4 ± 3 ng/L for DCF, and 310 ± 70 ng/L for ILA are achieved, which meet the sensitivity criteria of wastewater analysis. We demonstrate the applicability of SAFIA to real wastewater samples from three different wastewater Treatment plants, finding the results in good agreement with LC-MS/MS. Moreover, the accuracy in general exceeded that from classical ELISAs. We therefore propose SAFIA as a quick and reliable approach for wastewater analysis meeting the requirements for process analytical technology.
The photophysical behavior of a newly synthesized aza crown-substituted boron-dipyrromethene (BDP) dye and its dimethylamino analogue were investigated with steady-state and time-resolved fluorometry and compared to a reference compound. In solvents more polar than hexane, excitation of the dyes leads to a fast charge transfer from the locally excited (LE) state to a weakly emissive charge-transfer (CT) state. The donor-substituted compounds show dual emission from the LE and CT state, both fluorescence quantum yields being low. The rate constant of excited-state charge separation, calculated from the global analysis of time-resolved emission data, was determined to 1.6 × 1011 s-1 in 1,4-dioxane. The crowned compound forms 1:1-complexes with various alkali and alkaline-earth metal ions, which exist as two conformers in solution. In these complexes, coordination of the cation to the nitrogen donor atom of the crown inhibits the charge-transfer process, leading to a cation-dependent enhancement of the LE emission and the fluorescence lifetimes by factors >103. This efficient "switching on" of the fluorescence renders the crowned BDP dye an extremely sensitive fluorescent probe for metal ions.
Core-shell (CS) particles with a polymeric core and a silica shell play an important role in the materials and (bio)analytical sciences. Besides the establishment of reliable synthesis procedures, comprehensive particle characterization is essential for batch-to-batch reproducibility and objective performance assessment across architectures, protocols, and laboratories. Particle characterization with respect to size, size distribution, shell thickness and texture, surface area and roughness or materials composition is commonly conducted with different analytical methods, often on different samples. Our approach uses a dual-mode TSEM/SEM set-up with an EDX detector to obtain a complementary data set with sufficient statistical confidence of one and the same sample on a single instrument. Our protocol reveals information about size, size distribution and shell thickness of the various particles employed from overview images, while an increased field of view (FOV) and high-resolution EDX analysis yields detailed information on shell texture and elemental composition. An image analysis tool was developed to derive and quantify the profile roughness of CS particles from individual beads. Comparison with surface roughness data from AFM showed a similar trend in roughness across the series of particles. Reliable classification into smooth and rough is proposed and roughness changes within different particle batches were tracked systematically.
The complexation behaviour of 2,2-bipyridyl-3,3-diol and 2,2-bipyridyl-3-ol, BP(OH)2 and BPOH, with various heavy and transition metal
ions has been investigated in aqueous, alcoholic, and acetonitrile solutions. Whereas the complexes with paramagnetic ions and HgII
are non-fluorescent, ZnII and CdII form highly fluorescent complexes, their coordination geometries depending on the
solvent proticity and hydrogen-bond donating ability. Through a comparative study with the corresponding chelates of 2,2-bipyridyl (bipy),
N,O-coordination in a six-membered ring chelate has been found to be the dominant binding mode in both the ZnII and CdII
complexes in the protic solvents water and ethanol. Only for ZnII and BPOH is exclusive N,N-chelation found in acetonitrile. NMR
measurements on BP(OH)2, BPOH, and bipy in the presence of ZnII and CdII in acetonitrile confirmed these
findings.
The need for the traceable characterization of fluorescence instruments is emphasized from a chemists point of view, focusing on spectral fluorescence standards for the determination of the wavelength- and polarization-dependent relative spectral responsivity and relative spectral irradiance of fluorescence measuring systems, respectively. In a first step, major sources of error of fluorescence measurements and instrument calibration are revealed to underline the importance of this issue and to illustrate advantages and disadvantages of physical and chemical transfer standards for generation of spectral correction curves. Secondly, examples for sets of traceable chemical emission and excitation standards are shown that cover a broad spectral region and simple procedures for the determination of corrected emission spectra with acceptable uncertainties are presented. With proper consideration of the respective measurement principle and geometry, these dye-based characterization procedures can be not only applied to spectrofluorometers but also to other types of fluorescence measuring systems and even to Raman spectrometers.
