Abstract:

A coumarin-based formaldehyde(FA) fluorescent probe Coun was designed and synthesized. The mechanism of this fluorescent probes for FA is based on blocking electron transfer between hydrazine and the dye upon FA nucleophilic addition. The results show that the optimal reaction time of Coun and FA is 4 min, which greatly improved the detection efficiency with detection limit of 5×10-6 μmol/L. In addition, the probe has good cell membrane permeability, and can be used in the biological field to detect endogenous formaldehyde.
