Yb. Jiang et al., A NOVEL FLUORESCENCE SENSING MODE FOR IONS AND NEUTRAL MOLECULES BASED ON IONIC MICELLE MEDIATED TICT DUAL FLUORESCENCE, Spectroscopy letters, 30(8), 1997, pp. 1485-1493
According to the high sensitivity of TICT (twisted intramolecular char
ge transfer) emission to external electric field strength, a novel flu
orescence sensing mode for ions and neutral molecules in aqueous solut
ion was proposed by using ionic micelle mediated TICT dual fluorescenc
e was proposed. In the sensing system the ionic micelle acts as electr
ic field mediator for the TICT fluorophore. Examples were given for se
nsing potassium nitrate, sodium dodecylsulfate, and beta-cyclodextrin
by using sodium diethylaminobenzoate(SDEAB)/cetyltrimethylammonium bro
mide(CTAB) micelle sensing system. Linear response of dual fluorescenc
e intensity ratio Ia/Ib to analyte concentration with correlation coef
ficient higher than 0.99 was observed for three analytes.
