Abstract

:
A new turn-on probe (SWJT-20) based on isophorone fluorophore for the detection of nerve agent mimic diethyl chlorophosphite (DCP) was designed and synthesized. SWJT-20 could rapidly respond to DCP within 2 s using UV-Vis or fluorescent spectra, accompanied by a significant change in the solution color under visible light or UV light, which could be observed by the naked eyes. The detection limit of SWJT-20 to DCP was as low as 8.3 nM, which is lower than those of most reported fluorescent probes for DCP detection. Additionally, SWJT-20 could quantitatively measure DCP using ratio changes in A427/A645 in absorption spectra. Furthermore, facile paper as sensors with the visualization of colorimetric/fluorometric responses based on SWJT-20 has been fabricated. Notably, this probe could detect DCP vapor through gas diffusion experiments.

1. Introduction

Nerve agents belong to organophosphorus compounds, which are highly lethal and widely used as chemical warfare agents, causing serious impacts on society and countries [1,2]. For example, the Tokyo Metro Poisonous Gas incident caused 13 people to die and poisoning of 5500 people. At the same time, this incident caused public panic and had a negative effect on the society. Nerve agents can enter the body through the respiratory tract, digestive tract, and intact skin, inhibit acetylcholinesterase in the body, and result in muscarinic symptoms, manifested as muscle weakness, ataxia, unclear speech, pupil constriction, tremor, status epilepticus, arrhythmia, respiratory failure, and even death [3,4]. Most nerve agents are colorless and odorless, making them difficult to detect. Therefore, it is very urgent to develop simple and convenient methods for the detection of nerve agents, which is important for the military and for the public health system.
Nowadays, a variety of methods have been developed to detect organophosphorus nerve agents, such as enzyme inhibition-based biosensors [5,6], colorimetry [7,8], GC–MS [9,10], capillary electrophoresis [11,12], electrochemistry [13,14], surface enhanced Raman scattering [15,16], etc. However, these methods are limited by complicated sample preparation, cumbersome operation, low accuracy, expensive instruments, and inconvenient carrying. Fluorescent methods can overcome the above shortcomings, and therefore attract widespread attention from researchers [17]. In fact, the true organophosphorus nerve agents, such as sarin (GB), tabun (GA), soman (GD), and VX are odorless and tasteless, and microdose exposure to humans can cause death. Therefore, diethyl chlorophosphite (DCP) as nerve agent mimic was often used for the study rather than sarin agent due to their similar chemical structure [18,19,20,21].
At present, fluorescent probes used to detect DCP are mainly based on nucleophilic substitution reactions. In general, some nucleophiles were used to detect DCP including imino [22,23], pyridine [24,25], oxime [26,27], hydroxyl group [28,29], etc. Among them, some probes are turn-off fluorescent probes. For example, Cheng et al. developed a probe with pyridine group as the functional unit and the electron acceptor, after the addition of DCP to the solution containing probe, the transformation of the pyridine group into pyridinium salt occurred resulting in fluorescence quenching [30]. In 2018, we reported two fluorescent probes bearing a nucleophilic imine moiety for the selective detection of DCP, which demonstrated a remarkable fluorescence turn-off response and exhibited fast response times (within 10 s). The detection limit for these two fluorescent probes were 0.065 and 0.21 μM, respectively [31]. Churchill et al. reported a reversible fluorescent sensor based on fluorescein for the detection of nerve agent simulant. The reaction of nerve agent mimic with the phenol hydroxyl group of the probe forms a diphosphinate version of fluorescein, which reduces the fluorescence intensity. The fluorescence recovered after the addition of superoxide. The detection limit of the probe for DCP was 372.7 μM [32]. As turn-off fluorescence probe, the fluorescence of these probes can be disturbed by photobleach or fluorescence quencher [33,34]. Therefore, many turn-on fluorescent probes were developed to detect DCP [35,36,37,38,39,40,41,42,43,44] (Table S1, Supplementary Materials). For example, Zhao et al. synthesized a fluorescent probe, which was a novel thiourea-based rhodamine compound. The response time of the fluorescent probe to DCP was about 1200 s, and the minimum detection limit was 2.0 μM [35]. Son et al. reported a fluorescent probe based on rhodamine-deoxylactum skeleton with a low detection limit (9.66 nM), but the response time of this probe with DCP was within 20 min [37]. Our group also reported a two-site chemidosimeter based on fluorescein skeleton as fluorescent probe to detect DCP, the response time was about 100 min and the detection limit was 53.0 nM [39]. Recently, Zhang et al. reported a probe using the o-phenylenediamine unit as a detection site of DCP, which has a good linear relationship between the fluorescent intensity and the concentration of DCP in the range of 0−90.0 μM, and the detection limit was 0.082 μM. In addition, the response time of the fluorescent probe was within 2 min [44]. In summary, most of the reported turn-on fluorescent probes have a long response time and high detection limit. Therefore, it is still a great significance to design a turn-on fluorescent probe with fast response time and high sensitivity for the detection of DCP.
In connection with our research about DCP detection [31,39,45], herein, we designed a turn-on fluorescent probe SWJT-20 based on the isophorone fluorophore for the detection of DCP according to our previous development to near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent probes [46,47]. The probe is able to rapidly respond to DCP within 2 s by a turn-on fluorescence mode, and has an extremely low detection limit (8.3 nM). In addition, a satisfied relationship line between the absorbances of A427/A645 and the concentration of DCP was obtained, indicating SWJT-20 was the first probe to detect DCP by ratio changes in two peaks in absorption spectra, which can avoid the potential interference of background and improve the sensitivity and accuracy of detection. Moreover, the test strips of the probe were made for detecting DCP by color changes. Furthermore, the gas diffusion experiments were successfully used to detect DCP vapor by SWJT-20.

2. Results and Discussion

2.1. Design of SWJT-20

The hydroxyl group is a common nucleophile and is prone to react with the highly reactive chlorophosphate group of DCP [48,49]. Then, the probe SWJT-20 was designed using isophorone as the fluorophore and the hydroxyl group as a recognition site (Scheme 1), which was synthesized by compound 2 [50]. In addition, an aldehyde group was introduced into the ortho position of hydroxyl group in compound 2 by Duff reaction [51] to obtain SWJT-20 [52], which was characterized using 1H, 13C NMR spectra, and HRMS (Figures S1–S3, Supplementary Materials). The aldehyde group will form an intramolecular hydrogen bond with the ortho hydroxyl group, which expands the conjugation of the probe. When SWJT-20 reacts with DCP, the hydrogen bond will be destroyed, and thus results in the changes in fluorescence.

2.2. Spectral Response of SWJT-20 to DCP

In order to investigate the effect of organic solvents on the fluorescence spectra of SWJT-20, some organic solvents were selected and examined. As shown in Figure S4 (Supplementary Materials), by comparison of fluorescence intensity at 574 nm of SWJT-20 with DCP, the greatest change was observed in DMF. Therefore, DMF was selected as test solvent in the following experiments. Since compound 2 also has a hydroxyl group, the response of compound 2 was measured (Figure S5, Supplementary Materials). However, the changes in UV-Vis or fluorescent spectra were not apparent.
As shown in Figure 1a, in the UV-Vis spectra, SWJT-20 exhibited a maximum absorption band at 645 nm, which was attributed to a formation of intramolecular hydrogen bond between hydroxyl group and the ortho aldehyde on the benzene ring of the probe. After the addition of DCP, the absorption band shifted to blue and a new absorption band at 427 nm appeared, which indicated that a new compound was generated and SWJT-20 could be used to detect DCP by UV-Vis spectra. Meanwhile, the color of the solution changed from blue to yellow under visible light (Figure 1a, inset), which can be observed by the naked eyes. Moreover, with the increase in DCP concentration, the absorption peak at 645 nm gradually decreased and the peak at 427 nm gradually increased in the UV-Vis spectra (Figure 1b). Additionally, there was a good linear relationship between the absorbances of A427/A645 and the concentration of DCP in the range of 5.0−20.0 μM (Figure 1b, inset), in which changes at 427 and 645 nm were in good agreement with these color changes, as well. These results indicated that SWJT-20 could also quantitatively measure DCP using ratio changes in A427/A645 in absorption spectra.
In the fluorescence spectra, as shown in Figure 1c, SWJT-20 showed an emission band centered at 663 nm (Φ = 0.001) under the excitation of 427 nm. After the addition of DCP to the solution containing SWJT-20, the fluorescence at 574 nm (Φ = 0.044) was enhanced significantly. The fluorescent color of the solution changed from pink to orange-yellow (Figure 1c, inset), which was in good agreement with the change in fluorescent spectra. The fluorescent titration was then carried out to investigate the sensitivity of SWJT-20 to detect DCP. The fluorescence intensity at 574 nm gradually enhanced with the increase in the concentration of DCP (Figure 1d) in the solution. A good linear relationship between DCP concentration and fluorescence intensity was plotted (Figure 1d, inset). The detection limit of the probe to DCP was then calculated to be 8.3 nM by the corresponding formula (Figure S6, Supplementary Materials), which was lower than those of most of the reported fluorescent probes for the detection of DCP. The kinetic study was then investigated by monitoring the changes in the fluorescent peak at 574 nm (Figure S7, Supplementary Materials). The fluorescence enhancement was easily observed within 2 s, and the reaction constant (kobs) could not be calculated due to this short response time [39]. Moreover, the photostabilities of probe and probe + DCP were performed (Figure S8, Supplementary Materials), which revealed that the stability of SWJT-20 and SWJT-20 + DCP was good. These results showed that SWJT-20 was a turn-on fluorescent probe to rapidly detect DCP with high sensitivity.
In addition, due to the fast response time of the probe to DCP, the fluorescence stability of probe + DCP system was also measured in order to investigate whether the fluorescence of the product would weaken in a period of time. The fluorescence scanned time was 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 15, 20, and 30 min, respectively. As shown in Figure 2a, after the addition of DCP to the solution containing SWJT-20, the fluorescence intensity at 574 nm was almost not changed. These results indicated that the fluorescence intensity of the probe + DCP system did not decay within 30 min. Moreover, after the addition of different concentrations of DCP in the range of 0, 5.0, 10.0, 20.0, 30.0, and 50.0 μM to the solution of SWJT-20, the solution color changes from blue to yellow-green, and then to yellow under visible light (Figure 2b). In addition, the fluorescent color of the solution containing SWJT-20 changed from pink to orange-red, and then to orange under UV light (Figure 2c). All of them could be observed by the naked eyes within 2 s. These results make it possible for the probe to be used for the real-time detection of DCP.

2.3. Selective and Competitive Experiment

In order to study the specificity of SWJT-20 to DCP, diethyl cyanomethyl phosphate (DCMP), triethyl phosphite (TEP), nitric oxide (NO), and sodium hydrosulfide (HS−) were selected for the experiments (Figure S8, Supplementary Materials). In addition, acetic acid was selected to explore whether the reaction of probe with DCP was interfered under weak acidic conditions. As shown in Figure S9a (Supplementary Materials), only when DCP was added to the solution of SWJT-20, the fluorescence intensity of SWJT-20 had a significant change. Furthermore, the interference study was carried out in the presence of other organophosphorus or acetic acid to the solution of SWJT-20 with DCP (Figure S9b, Supplementary Materials). It was found that the fluorescence intensity almost did not change. These results showed that SWJT-20 could specifically recognize DCP even in the presence of other organophosphorus disturbances or in the weak acid environment.

2.4. Response Mechanism

To verify the reaction mechanism of probe SWJT-20 with DCP, the mixture of SWJT-20 with DCP was characterized by 1H and 13C NMR spectra (Figures S10 and S11, Supplementary Materials), which was shown to obtain compound 3 (Figure 3, top). To further investigate this mechanism, 1H NMR titrations were performed (Figure 3, bottom). As shown in Figure 3a, the hydrogen signal of Ha at 10.66 ppm belonged to the hydroxyl group of probe SWJT-20. After the addition of DCP to the solution of SWJT-20, the signal of Ha at 10.66 ppm decreased until it disappeared completely (Figure 3b,c). In addition, the hydrogen signal of Hb and Hc on the phosphate ester group appeared gradually at about 4.21, 1.31, and 1.22 ppm, respectively. These results also illustrated the generation of compound 3. Meanwhile, the mixture of SWJT-20 and DCP was characterized by LC–MS, and the peak of compound 3 at m/z 485.19 [M + H]+ was observed (Figure S12, Supplementary Materials). These results indicated that the electrophilic phosphate groups of DCP were attacked by the hydroxyl group, wherein a nucleophilic substitution occurred indeed between DCP and the hydroxyl group in the benzene ring of SWJT-20, breaking the intramolecular hydrogen bond to obtain compound 3.

2.5. DFT Calculations

In order to further verify the spectral response mechanism of SWJT-20 and DCP, density functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed using the B3LYP/6-31G method. As shown in Figure 4, the electron clouds of HOMO and LUMO were distributed equally throughout the whole large π system of SWJT-20 including the aldehyde group and hydroxyl group, which indicated the existence of intramolecular hydrogen bond in SWJT-20 [53,54]. As for compound 3, the electron densities of HOMO and LUMO were similar, which were distributed to the π system except for the aldehyde group and phosphate group, indicating that there was no intramolecular hydrogen bond in compound 3. These results suggested that the probe SWJT-20 and compound 3 had fluorescence, which was in agreement with the fluorescence spectra.

2.6. Practical Applications

Considering the practical applications, also encouraged by the results of the previous study, the probe SWJT-20 was dissolved in DMF and loaded onto the test paper. Then, different concentrations of DCP were added. With the increase in the concentration of DCP, the color of the paper sensor changed from light brown to yellow under visible light (Figure 5a), and changed from pink to orange under a 365 nm UV lamp (Figure 5b). These results indicated that SWJT-20 could be used as a paper sensor to detect DCP.
In addition, the ability of SWJT-20 to recognize DCP vapor was investigated (Figure 5c,d). The solution of SWJT-20 was placed in a closed glass vial. The color of solution was blue (Figure 5c, left) under visible light and pink (Figure 5d, left) under a 365 nm UV lamp, which could be observed by the naked eyes. In contrast, small glass bottles containing a small amount of DCP were added under the same conditions. The color of solution turned to yellow (Figure 5c, right) under visible light and light orange (Figure 5d, right) under a 365 nm UV lamp. These results showed that SWJT-20 could detect gaseous DCP.

3. Material and Methods

3.1. Materials and Reagents

Reagents used in the experiments, such as isophorone, malonitrile, vanillin, trifluoroacetic acid, and other analytical reagents were purchased from Innochem Company, Beijing, China. All solvents, which were purchased from Tianjin Tianzheng Fine Chemical Reagent Factory (Tianjin, China), can be used directly without further purification. DMSO for fluorescence detection was spectroscopic pure.

3.2. Measurements

1H, 13C NMR spectra were measured by Bruker-Avb 400 spectrometer (Bruker, Bremen, Germany) using TMS as an internal parameter and DMSO-d6 as a solvent unless otherwise noted. LC–MS spectra were recorded on the Waters e2695 spectrometer (Waters, Milford, MA, USA) and chromatographic grade methanol was used as the solvent. High resolution mass spectrum (HRMS) was obtained using Bruker MicrO TOF spectrometer (Bruker, Bremen, Germany) and Bruker TI-00108 spectrometer (Bruker, Bremen, Germany). The absorption spectra were obtained using A-360 Ultraviolet spectrophotometer (AOELAB, A-360, Shanghai, China). Fluorescence spectra were obtained using a Hitachi-F7000 fluorescence spectrometer (Hitachi, F-7000, Tokyo, Japan) and the excitation and emission slit widths were 10 nm. All photographs under UV light were illuminated using a 365 nm handheld UV lamp.

3.3. Synthesis of Probe SWJT-20

As shown in Scheme 1, compounds 1 and 2 were synthesized according to our previous study [50,55]. The synthetic process of SWJT-20 was performed using a known literature approach [52].
Synthesis of compound 1 [50,55]: Isophorone (50.02 g, 361.77 mmol) and malononitrile (23.9 g, 361.77 mmol) were placed in a 500-mL round-bottom flask and dissolved by adding 250 mL of ethanol (until no delamination). After stirring for 5 min, 5 mL of piperidine was added. The reaction mixture was stirred and refluxed for 8 h. Then, part of the solvent was removed by a rotary evaporator, and the resulting residue was crystallized overnight at 4 °C in a refrigerator. Compound 1 as a light green crystal was obtained by filtration on the next day, and the yield was 66.8%.
Synthesis of compound 2 [50,55]: Compound 1 (9.0 g, 48.32 mmol) and 3-methoxy-4-hydroxybenzaldehyde (8.82 g, 57.98 mmol) were placed in a 250-mL round bottom flask and dissolved by adding 80 mL of ethanol. After 5 min, 2 mL of piperidine was added, and the reaction mixture was stirred and refluxed for 7 h. Then, part of the solvent was removed under vacuum, and the resulting residue was crystallized overnight at 4 °C in a refrigerator, and filtered on the next day to obtain the crude product. Thereafter, it was recrystallized with ethanol to obtain 12.8 g of red solid, which was compound 2 with a yield of 82.7%. 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6): δ = 9.59 (s, 1H), 7.36 (s, 1H), 7.25 (d, J = 3.4 Hz, 2H), 7.11 (d, J = 8.2 Hz, 1H), 6.87–6.73 (m, 2H), 3.84 (s, 3H), 2.59 (d, J = 16.8 Hz, 2H), 2.54 (s, 2H), 1.02 (s, 6H) ppm.
Synthesis of SWJT-20: The synthetic process of SWJT-20 was performed using a known literature [52]. Compound 2 (3.01 g, 9.36 mmol) and hexamethylenetetramine (2.5 g, 17.79 mmol) were placed in a 100-mL round bottom flask and dissolved by adding 20 mL of trifluoroacetic acid. The reaction was refluxed for 8 h. After cooling to room temperature, the mixture was extracted with CH2Cl2/H2O. Then, anhydrous sodium sulfate was added to dry the organic phase. After the filtered solvent was removed with a rotary evaporator, the crude product was obtained. After purification by flash column chromatography on silica gel (petroleum ether: ethyl acetate = 4:1), 0.8 g of SWJT-20 as a red-brown solid was obtained, and the yield was 24.5%. 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6): δ = 10.66 (s, 1H), 10.30 (s, 1H), 7.64 (d, J = 2.0 Hz, 1H), 7.53 (d, J = 1.9 Hz, 1H), 7.33 (q, J = 16.1 Hz, 2H), 6.87 (s, 1H), 3.94 (s, 3H), 2.61 (s, 2H), 2.54 (s, 2H), 1.02 (s, 6H) ppm. 13C NMR (100 MHz, DMSO-d6): δ = 191.2, 170.8, 156.8, 152.8, 149.4, 137.8, 128.6, 128.0, 123.0, 121.6, 115.0, 114.1, 113.7, 76.1, 56.8, 42.8, 38.7, 32.2, 27.9 (2C) ppm. HRMS (ESI): m/z calcd for C21H21N2O3 [M+H]+ 349.1574, found 349.1545.

3.4. The Preparation of the Test Stock Solution

The stock solution of SWJT-20 (1.0 mM) was prepared in dimethyl sulfoxide. Other solutions (0.1 M), such as diethyl chlorophosphite (DCP), cyanomethyl diethyl phosphate (DCMP), and triethyl phosphite (TEP), were prepared in N, N-dimethylformamide (DMF). Acetic acid, sodium nitroprusside, and sodium hydrosulfide (0.1 M) were diluted in distilled water. Test solutions were prepared by placing 20.0 μL of the SWJT-20 stock solution into a test tube and diluting to 2.0 mL with an organic solvent, followed by the addition of a moderate amount of other stock solutions. The mixture was then poured into a colorimetric dish and excited at 427 nm to obtain fluorescence spectra, the emission peaks in the 490–800 nm range, as well as the excitation and emission slit widths at 10/10 nm. The fluorescence quantum yield was determined with rhodamine B as the standard.

3.5. Fluorescence Quantum Yield Calculation

We calculated the fluorescence quantum yield of SWJT-20 using rhodamine B as the standard and its quantum yield of 0.89 in ethanol solution [56]. The formula is as follows:
Y u = Y s × F u F s × A s A u
where Yu is the quantum yield of the sample to be tested; Ys is the quantum yield of rhodamine B; Fu and Fs are the emission band areas of the tested substance and dilute rhodamine B solution; Au and As are the maximum absorbance values of the tested substance and dilute rhodamine B solution (the maximum absorbance values in the range of 0.01–0.05).

3.6. Determination and Calculation of the Lowest Detection Limit

The lowest detection limit was determined according to the previous literature [56]. The fluorescent intensity at 574 nm was a plot to SWJT-20 with different concentrations of DCP in the range of 0.0–5.0 μM to obtain the slope. In addition, SWJT-20 was determined 10 times with the same excitation, and the emission intensity at 574 nm was obtained to calculate the standard deviation. The specific calculation formula is provided in the Supporting information (Figure S6, Supplementary Materials).

3.7. Response Time Test Method for SWJT-20 to DCP

Since SWJT-20 (10.0 μM) responded quite quickly to DCP, the color change was observed immediately after the addition of DCP (50.0 μM), the fluorescence was scanned every 0.01 min with a fluorescence spectrometer to collect emission peaks in the 490–800 nm range, and the emission peak at 574 nm was selected for a time curve.

3.8. The Fabrication of Paper Sensors

First, the probe SWJT-20 (10.0 μM) was dissolved in DMF. Then, the filter paper was soaked in the solution containing SWJT-20. Thereafter, the filter paper was dried after 12 h to achieve the test paper sensor. After adding different concentrations of DCP, the color change was observed within 1 min, and then pictures were obtained under visible light and ultraviolet light.

4. Conclusions

In summary, a turn-on fluorescent probe SWJT-20 with hydroxyl group as a recognition site was successfully designed to detect DCP. This new probe could rapidly respond to DCP within 2 s, and the detection limit was as low as 8.3 nM. In addition, SWJT-20 was the first probe to detect DCP by ratio changes in A427/A645 in absorption spectra. The response mechanism of SWJT-20 to DCP was confirmed by NMR, LC–MS, and density functional theory (DFT) calculation. The fluorescence intensity of compound 3 was stable within 30 min. Moreover, SWJT-20 was a turn-on probe to detect DCP vapor or in solution through the significant color changes both in UV light and visible light. Furthermore, SWJT-20 could serve as a paper sensor to detect DCP.
