Photochemical Modification

Dual water and organic solvent soluble 3-aryl-3-(trifluormethyl) diazirine-functionalized gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were prepared through a place exchange reaction from triethylene glycol monomethyl ether (EG3-Me) capped AuNPs. These nanoparticles were fully characterized using 1H and 19F nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). TGA along with 1H NMR data allowed the determination of 15% incorporation of diazirine (Diaz) ligands onto mixed monolayer AuNPs, while TEM images showed an average diameter of 2.3 ± 0.5 nm. This information led to the estimated molecular formula of Au400 (S-EG4-Diaz)40 (S-EG3-Me)230 for these AuNPs. It is noteworthy that high-resolution XPS was a powerful tool for quantitative analysis. Irradiation of the diazirine capped AuNPs resulted in nitrogen extrusion and the formation of a highly reactive carbene with evidence of a portion of the reaction proceeding via the diazo intermediate and thus requiring a second photon for activation. The carbene species generated was utilized to tether the attached AuNPs via insertion into C=C or O–H functionality inherent on various substrates. Here, we demonstrated that photolysis of the diazirine modified AuNPs in the presence of a variety of model carbene scavengers led to clean and efficient insertion products while maintaining their solubility in polar solvents.

Background: L-Ascorbic acid (AA) is a kind of water soluble vitamin, which is mainly present in fruits, vegetables and biological fluids. As a low cost antioxidant and effective scavenger of free radicals, AA may help to prevent diseases such as cancer and Parkinson’s disease. Owing to its role in the biological metabolism, AA has also been utilized for the therapy of mental illness, common cold and for improving the immunity. Therefore, it is very necessary and urgent to develop a simple, rapid and selective strategy for the detection of AA in various samples. Methods: The molecularly imprinted poly(o-phenylenediamine) (PoPD) film was prepared for the analysis of L-ascorbic acid (AA) on gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) - multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) modified glass carbon electrode (GCE) by electropolymerization of o-phenylenediamine (oPD) and AA. Experimental parameters including pH value of running buffer and scan rates were optimized. Scanning electron microscope (SEM), fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectra, cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) were utilized for the characterization of the imprinted polymer film. Results: Under the selected experimental conditions, the DPV peak currents of AA exhibit two distinct linear responses ranging from 0.01 to 2 μmol L-1 and 2 to 100 μmol L-1 towards the concentrations of AA, and the detection limit was 2 nmol L-1 (S/N=3). Conclusion: The proposed electrochemical sensor possesses excellent selectivity for AA, along with good reproducibility and stability. The results obtained from the analysis of AA in real samples demonstrated the applicability of the proposed sensor to practical analysis.

Quantitative cellular in vitro nanoparticle uptake measurements are possible with a large number of different techniques, however, all have their respective restrictions. Here, we demonstrate the application of synchrotron-based X-ray fluorescence imaging (XFI) on prostate tumor cells, which have internalized differently functionalized gold nanoparticles. Total nanoparticle uptake on the order of a few hundred picograms could be conveniently observed with microsamples consisting of only a few hundreds of cells. A comparison with mass spectroscopy quantification is provided, experimental results are both supported and sensitivity limits of this XFI approach extrapolated by Monte-Carlo simulations, yielding a minimum detectable nanoparticle mass of just 5 pg. This study demonstrates the high sensitivity level of XFI, allowing non-destructive uptake measurements with very small microsamples within just seconds of irradiation time.
