Abstract

We propose a new approach for detecting palladium using a two-photon fluorescent probe quenched by perchlorate. This newly developed method has the potential to overcome some of the limitations of the currently available methods for detecting palladium. This article provides a detailed introduction to the design and synthesis of fluorescent probe, as well as the fluorescence performance in aqueous solutions. The results demonstrate the probe is highly sensitive, selective, and efficient in detecting palladium. The study also includes a thorough analysis of the quenching mechanism of the probe by perchlorate, and obtained different results from previous literatures. Moreover, the probe can easily identify and differentiate between palladium being present in the valence states 0, + 2/+ 4, and accomplish detecting palladium in convoluted solutions such as wastewater, environmental water, Hela cells and zebrafish. Due to its excellent performance, using self-developed optical device, the possibility of detecting palladium in aqueous solutions based on smartphone was explored.
