Sumario: | [Image: see text] Detection of iron ions in aqueous solutions is of significant importance because of their important role in the environment and the human body. Herein, a fluorescent rhodamine B-functionalized chitosan nanoparticles probe is reported for the efficient detection of iron ions. The chitosan nanospheres-rhodamine B (CREN) was prepared by grafting rhodamine B onto the surface of chitosan nanospheres through an amidation reaction. The as-prepared CREN fluorescent probes exhibit high fluorescence intensity under ultraviolet light. When iron ions are added to the CREN solution, they can be coordinated with weak-field ligands such as N and O on the surface of chitosan nanoparticles (CSNP) by a high-spin method. The self-assembly of Fe(3+) on the surface of the CREN led to the generation of single electrons and the presence of high paramagnetism, resulting in fluorescence quenching. The quenching effect of Fe(3+) on the CREN fluorescent probe can achieve the efficient detection of Fe(3+), and the detection limit reaches 10(–5) mol/mL. Moreover, this fluorescence quenching effect of Fe(3+) on the CREN fluorescent probe is specific, which could not be disturbed by other metal ions and counteranions. |
