Aggregation-Induced Emission Properties of Glutathione and L-Cysteine Capped CdS Quantum Dots and their Application as Zn(II) Probe

Targeting to obtain better water solubility and stability and less aggregation-caused quenching effects of quantum dots, two kinds of thiol molecules, glutathione and L-cysteine, were firstly united to offer stabilizing ligands for aqueous synthesized CdS quantum dots, which exhibited sensitive aggregation-induced emission properties. Fluorescent intensity of the CdS quantum dots was enhanced about 5 folds by simple solvent exchange from water to 90 vol% PEG200. Restriction of intramolecular motions in an aggregate state was probably the main cause of the phenomenon. At the same time, fluorescent intensity of CdS quantum dots in the presence of zinc ions was able to be enhanced about 2.2 folds. Based on the researches, a handy metal enhanced fluorescent probe for detecting zinc ions was established. And the detection limit was 0.58 μmol/L. Zinc ions as a bridge among CdS quantum dots to form aggregates limited motions of CdS quantum dots to a certain extent and simultaneously enhanced their fluorescence emission intensities. Meanwhile, activation of surface states of CdS quantum dots also led to emission enhancement. Both of the two factors together contributed to the fluorescence enhancement and ultimately to the sensitivity to zinc ion sample detection.
