Phenylboronic acid (PBA) polymer brush modified silica demonstrated high selectivity for glycopeptides attributed to the synergistic effect of polyvalent interactions, hydrogen binding and hydrophilic nature provided by the polymer brush.

Due to the complexity of traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs), it is very important to develop a method that can recognize anthraquinones, the active ingredients in TCMs, with high selectivity. Here, a molecularly imprinted fluorescence sensor was coated on the surface of carbon quantum dots (CDs). Allobarbital was used as functional monomer for this application using theoretical calculations and was successfully synthesized and characterized. The template molecule chrysophanol was combined with the functional monomer allobarbital using a hydrogen bond array. Then, a series of adsorption experiments were performed to study the specific recognition of anthraquinones by the prepared sensors. The results showed that the prepared sensor had a good linear response to concentrations of chrysophanol in the concentration range 0.5 mg · L-1 to 8.0 mg · L-1, a low detection limit (5.0 μg · L-1), high stability, and a short response time (20 min). Additionally, the obtained fluorescence sensor was successfully applied to selectively recognize anthraquinones in TCMs with recoveries of 90.1% to 101.7%. The prepared sensor displays excellent sensitivity and high selectivity towards anthraquinones, mainly due to the specific hydrogen binding sites for the target molecules. Overall, this fluorescence sensor can selectively recognize anthraquinones in TCMs, and provide a method for quality monitoring and rational utilization of TCMs.

Dual-emission nanosensor for Hg2+ detection was prepared by coupling CA-AEAPMS on the surface of RBS-doped modified silica microspheres. The CA-AEAPMS was synthesized by using N-(β-aminoethyl)-γ-aminopropyl methyldimethoxysilane (AEAPMS) and citric acid as the main raw material. The obtained nanosensor showed characteristic fluorescence emissions of Rhodamine B (red) and CA-AEAPMS (blue) under a single excitation wavelength (360 nm). Upon binding to Hg2+, only the fluorescence of CA-AEAPMS was quenched, resulting in the ratiometric fluorescence response of the dual-emission silica microspheres. This ratiometric nanosensor exhibited good selectivity to Hg2+ over other metal ions, because of the amide groups on the surface of CA-AEAPMS serving as the Hg2+ recognition sites. The ratio of F450/F580 linearly decreased with the increasing of Hg2+ concentration in the range of 0 to 3 × 10−6 M, and a detection limit was as low as 97 nM was achieved. Then, the addition of three thiol-containing amino acids (Cys, Hcy, GSH) to the quenched fluorescence solution with Hg2+ can restore the fluorescence, and the detection limits of the three biothiols (Cys, Hcy, GSH) are 0.133 μM, 0.086 μM, and 0.123 μM, respectively.
