ABSTRACT
Malononitrile is a very important chemical material and has wide application fields in production of medicines, pesticides, and extraction of gold. However, its nonnegligible hypertoxicity inspired researchers to develop more efficient analysis techniques to sensitively and selectively detect malononitrile. Nopinone derivatives initiated by our research group have been developed as a class of organic fluorescent chemosensors for identifying multiple analytes in recent years. Different heterocyclic compounds based on nopinone were designed and synthesized to be applied in the fields of environmental analysis, food detection and bioimaging. Nevertheless, the comparison research on the optical properties of fluorescent compounds containing the nopinyl matrix with other structural analogs including alkyl, cyclohexyl and phenyl groups was deficient. Herein, four 4-(1H-imidazol-2-yl)benzaldehyde-based ratiometric fluorescent chemosensors based on o-dimethyl cyclohexyl, phenyl and nopinyl units for recognizing malononitrile were designed and developed, and their differences in the optical properties and detection performances were investigated by using spectral analysis combined with theoretical calculations. Moreover, the nopinone-based 4-(1H-imidazol-2-yl)benzaldehyde fluorescent chemosensor NMZQ was successfully applied in the dual channel fluorescence bioimaging of malononitrile in living HeLa cells and zebrafish, which attributed to its outstanding spectral property and detection performance.
