摘要：

以S-十二烷基-S'-(α,α'-二甲基-α″-乙酸)-三硫代碳酸酯(DMAT)为链转移剂、2-羟基-5-乙烯基苯甲醛(HVB)为单体,利用可逆加成-断裂链转移自由基聚合法(RAFT)合成结构明确、数均相对分子质量可控的水杨醛聚合物(PHVB)。将PHVB直接地与单端胺基功能化聚乙二醇(mPEG-NH₂)按n(—NH₂ group)/n(—CHO group)=0.50投料进行醛-胺缩合反应,获得接枝率为50%的两亲性接枝水杨醛席夫碱聚合物PHVB-graft-PEG。采用凝胶渗透色谱仪(GPC)和核磁共振氢谱(¹H NMR)对合成的聚合物的数均相对分子质量和结构进行了确证。将PHVB-graft-PEG直接地分散于无水乙醇中,自组装形成以聚乙烯水杨醛席夫碱为核、聚乙二醇为壳的胶束,然后以所得胶束为微反应器,与Zn(OAc)₂进行配位反应得到外壳为可溶性链段PEG,内核为发光水杨醛席夫碱锌配合物的PHVB-graft-PEG/Zn²⁺交联稳定化胶束。通过紫外-可见分光光谱(UV-Vis)、荧光发射光谱(FLL)、动态光散射(DLS)和透射电子显微镜(TEM)分别对胶束的交联稳定化过程进行了表征。研究结果表明,经交联稳定化后,PHVB-graft-PEG/Zn²⁺胶束在干燥后仍可在水和常见有机溶剂中再分散形成粒径大小约为100 nm、在约460 nm处发射出蓝光荧光的纳米粒子,并且可作为荧光传感器,在水溶液中对Cu²⁺离子进行选择性识别,其荧光淬灭率与Cu²⁺离子浓度(0~50 μmol/L范围内)呈线性关系,最低检测下限至0.5 μmol/L,而其它共存离子如Cd²⁺、Mg²⁺、Ni²⁺、Pb²⁺、Ca²⁺、Hg²⁺、Al³⁺、Mn²⁺等对Cu²⁺离子的荧光响应性没有干扰,即可实现对Cu²⁺离子进行定量检测。

Abstract:

A well-defined polymer with pendant salicylaldehyde groups(PHVB) was achieved by reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer(RAFT) polymerization with S-1-dodecyl-S'-(α,α'-dimethyl-α″-acetic acid) trithiocarbonate as the RAFT agent and a salicylaldehyde-functionalized vinyl monomer, 2-hydroxy-5-vinylbenzaldehyde(HVB) in THF at 65 ℃. The resulting well-defined polymer with pendant salicylaldehyde groups can react directly with monoamine-terminated PEG(PEG-NH₂, number-average relative molecular mass 2000 g/mL, 0.5 stoichiometric number of the —CHO group in PolyHVB) to afford an amphiphilic graft copolymer bearing a pendant salicylidene Schiff base PHVB-graft-PEG with 50% grafting density. These new polymers were characterized by GPC and ¹HNMR. Owing to the presence of hydrophilic PEG pendants, PHVB-graft-PEG is capable of self-assembling into nano-sized micelles with salicylidene Schiff base functioned cores, PEG coronas in ethanol. Coordination of the pre-assembled PHVB-graft-PEG micelles with Zn(OAc)₂ will endow the polymeric micelles with fluorescence features, and simultaneously the resulting luminescent micelles may be stabilized by ionic cross-linking in consequence of the complex reaction at the core. Thus, the luminescence properties and form of the obtained micelles were investigated by UV-Vis spectra(UV-Vis), fluorescence spectra(FLL), dynamic light scattering(DLS), transmission electron microscopy(TEM) .After removing ethanol by drying, the resultant Zn²⁺ coordinated particles can be re-dispersed readily in water or common organic solvent to form a micellar solution, which display blue fluorescence with maximum emission peak around 460 nm, indicating the same aggregate size(nearly 100 nm) as before re-dispersion. The obtained luminescent nanoparticles can be used as a highly selective fluorescent probe for Cu²⁺ ion over other metal ions such as Cd^{2 +}, Mg²⁺, Ni²⁺, Pb²⁺, Ca²⁺, Hg²⁺, Al³⁺, Mn²⁺ in aqueous solution, and exhibit a linear range of 0~50 μmol/L and detection limit of 0.05 μmol/L Cu²⁺, respectively.
