【 摘 要 】

Singlet oxygen (1O2) is an important species for oxidation in biological processes. 1O2 is implicated in the genotoxic effect, and plays an important role in the cell-signaling cascade and in the induction of gene expression. However, the rapid detection of 1O2 in biological environments with sufficient specificity and sensitivity is hampered by its extremely low emission probability. Here, a layer-by-layer (LbL) film of CdTe quantum dots (QDs), polymers, and ascorbate have been designed as a rapid, highly selective, and sensitive fluorescence probe for 1O2 detection. Upon reaction with 1O2, the probe exhibits a strong photoluminescence (PL) response even at trace levels. This remarkable PL change should enable the probe to be used for 1O2 detection in many chemical and biological systems and as an environmental sensor.
