Review of Cellulose Nanocrystal-based Fluorophore Materials and Their Application in Metal Ion Detection

更新时间:2016-07-05

1 Introduction

The development of nanomaterials with sensing capability has grown over the past decade to meet the demand for applications in metal ion detection, drug delivery, and biological and biomedical sciences, as well as agricultural production[1-4]. In order to avoid potential environmental safety issues with nanomaterials and meet the need for renewable resource utilization, sustainable development and application of cellulosebased nanomaterials from renewable resources or waste materials have increasingly become a focus of research[5]. Cellulose is a linear homopolysaccharide that consisted of D-glucopyranose units linked by 1,4-β-linkages[6-7]. During biosynthesis, van der Waals and intermolecular hydrogen bonds between hydroxyl groups and the oxygens of adjacent molecules promote parallel stacking of multiple cellulose chains,forming basic fibers that further aggregate into larger microfibers[8]. These fibrils act as reinforcing elements in trees, plants, some marine organisms (tunicates),algae, and bacteria[9-11]. In these cellulose fibers, highly ordered (crystalline) structures of cellulose chains and disordered (amorphous) regions can be found.The crystalline regions contained within cellulose microfibers can be extracted to produce cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs)[12].

CNCs, which are also called cellulose nanowhiskers or nanocrystalline cellulose in some reports, exhibit special morphological, self-assembly, and modification ability properties. Fabricating new high-performance functional nanocomposites that can be applied in detection, diagnosis, or other biomedical applications is a frontier and a hot issue in cellulose-based research.Compared to inorganic nanoparticles, CNCs have many desirable properties and advantages, such as high crystallinity, a large surface area, high tensile strength and modulus, renewability, biodegradability, excellent colloidal stability, and facile modification[13]. CNCs are typically rod-like nanoparticles with a length of 100 nm to 1000 nm and a width of 20 nm to 100 nm[14-16]. CNCs can be isolated from a variety of cellulose sources,including plants (e.g., cotton, hemp, wood)[17-18], marine animals (e.g., tunicates)[19-21], bacteria (e.g., Acetobacter xylinum)[22], and so on, and also could be isolated from microcrystalline cellulose via mechanical shearing and acid and enzymatic hydrolysis[23-24]. The dimensions,crystal structure, degree of crystallinity, surface chemistry, morphology, and aspect ratio of the extracted CNCs depend strongly on the nature of the raw material and the reaction conditions. The most popular strategy for producing CNCs is to use acid hydrolysis, which can effectively remove the disordered or paracrystalline regions of the cellulose fiber while releasing CNCs with high crystallinity. Commonly, sulfuric acid[25-26],hydrochloric acid[27], phosphoric acid[28], and hydrogen bromide[29] can be used in this strategy to produce CNCs with different functional groups on their surfaces.The conditions of acid hydrolysis (e.g., the acid type and concentration, hydrolysis time, and temperature)will seriously affect the physical properties of the produced CNCs (i.e., the surface charge, size, yield,and birefringence). For example, CNCs obtained using sulfuric acid exhibit significantly lower thermal stability and higher stability in suspension than their counterparts obtained from hydrochloric acid.

On the one hand, CNCs exhibit favorable characteristics including biocompatibility,biodegradability, renewability, and nanoscale size;consequently, they have been used extensively to prepare sensing nanomaterials for applications in various fields[30]. The hydroxyl groups and large specific surface area of CNCs enable modification by physical or chemical reactions. CNCs have a large number of hydroxyl functional groups in their macromolecular chains, and owing to their high specific surface area,they can be easily modified via various reactions, such as carboxylation[31], esterification[32], silanization[33-34],cationic interaction[35], and graft copolymerization[36].Chemical modification can introduce new functional groups or molecules onto the CNC surface while retaining the basic structure and properties of the particle[37]. For example, Dong et al introduced fluorescent molecules onto the CNC surface, and the fluorescent-tagged CNCs exhibited good potential for application in bioimaging and related diagnostics[38].On the other hand, functional cellulose nanocrystalline materials are used as filler in polymers to produce high-performance nanocomposites[39-40], stimulusresponsive films[41-43], hydrogels[44], or photoinduced materials[45]. They are also used as templates for the synthesis of chiral[46], nematic[47], and porous materials,silica films, or TiO2[48-49]. Furthermore, CNCs have been demonstrated to be biocompatible with living cells, thus they can also be used for in vivo testing[50].

Fluorescent molecules (small molecules or macromolecules) can be excited by light at a specific wavelength and radiate fluorescence at another wavelength that is different from the excitation wavelength. Thus, fluorescent molecules are often used as sensors or indicators to detect target molecules. By introducing fluorescent molecules on the CNC surface,fluorescent CNCs (fCNCs) can be obtained, which can be dispersed in an aqueous solvent and display stable luminosity[51]. The wavelength of fCNCs depends strongly on the fluorescent molecules that have been grafted onto their surfaces. A wide range of fluorescent molecules or quantum dots (QDs) were grafted onto CNCs using different binding mechanisms. A common strategy to produce a fCNC sensor is to modify fluorescent molecules that can be used for detection onto its surface[52-55]. Many fluorescent indicators of heavy metal ions and transition metal ions such as Cu2+,Hg2+, Pb2+, Cr3+, and so on have been reported[56-60]. For example, Chen et al synthesized CNCs with porphyrin pendants (CNC-SA-COOC6TPP) by a combination of carboxylation, extended esterification, and the dicyclohexylcarbodiimide reaction[61]. Owing to the good dispersion of fCNCs and the high selectivity and sensitivity of porphyrin derivatives, CNC-SACOOC6TPP can efficiently detect Hg2+ in water. CNCs were converted into fluorescent-labeled nanoparticles(Py-CNCs) by a three-step procedure. This sensing nanomaterial can be employed as a chemosensor for Fe3+ and for many applications in chemical, environmental, and biological systems[62].

Many reviews have summarized the surface modification and application of CNCs[5,10-11,50].This review focuses on chemical conjugation strategies that can be used for the development of biomaterials using fluorescentmolecule-labeled CNCs. In the first part, the reactions used for fluorescence modification of CNCs are introduced. Then, by considering the differences among the molecules used to modify CNCs, the use of fCNCs for sensors is analyzed, and the detection mechanism is briefly introduced. Finally, a short summary and prospective are given.

2 Methods for surface chemical modification of CNCs

Fig.1 Common modification chemistries of CNC surfaces

Typical procedures for producing CNCs include the following steps:

The surface chemistry of CNCs, especially the surface groups, is governed by the type of acid used for the hydrolysis procedure[37]. Because of the highly ordered arrangement of the crystalline structure, the reactivity of CNCs is different from that of a macromolecular polysaccharide, so they should not be simply regarded as multi-hydroxyl alcohols. The reactions between hydroxyl groups and a reagent occur only on the surface of CNCs (Fig.1). The preparation of fluorescent-tagged CNCs depends mainly on the chemical activity of functional groups on the surface of the CNCs and the resulting physical interaction. Typically, fCNCs are prepared mainly by the formation of covalent bonds between fluorophores and hydroxyl groups on the surface of CNCs, including esterification, etherification,amidation, the formation of a Schiff base, and the nucleophilic substitution reaction. The extraction and pre-chemical modification of CNCs for the preparation of fCNCs are currently performed as follows.

在整个投资决策的过程中,相应的造价控制也是十分重要的,而现如今大部分建筑工程企业内部在投资决策的这一环节中不能够提起高度的重视,这便间接的影响了建筑企业内部的资金流向和资金的控制,并且在后期的建筑施工过程中,工程的造价规格也难以统一。这便导致了资源的浪费和资金的外流。同时在工程设计这一环节上也要注重对环节设计进行系统化的控制和精细的工程预算,这样便可以保证整个工程设计能够在资金的预算范围之内,同时有效地引导工程的建设,也是对工程造价进行控制的有效措施之一。

(4) Concentration and drying of the suspension to obtain solid CNCs. The obtained CNCs are generally rod-shaped nanocrystals with a high aspect ratio.

The hydroxyl groups on the CNC surface can be easily used to react with carboxyl groups or isocyanate groups on the fluorescent molecules. However,to conjugate fluorescent molecules that cannot be reacted with hydroxyl groups on the CNC surface, it is necessary to modify CNC with suitable functional groups, such as carboxyl groups or aldehyde groups. The CNC surface can be decorated with any of these groups via oxidation or esterification. Here, we will briefly discuss the mechanism of oxidation, a fundamental procedure for producing fCNCs.

A common strategy for oxidizing hydroxyl groups on the CNC surface is to use 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl radical(TEMPO) as a catalyst to facilitate oxidation of the CNCs by NaClO[63-67]. The strategy can selectively oxidize C6—OH on the CNC surface into carboxyl groups. The mechanism is shown in Fig.2(a).

The oxidation process is pH-dependent and can be monitored using the pattern of aqueous NaOH consumption. In addition, in TEMPO/NaBr/NaClO oxidation of CNCs, the pH value of the reaction obviously affects the efficiency or the time required for oxidation. The optimum pH value for shortening the oxidation time was found to be 10[63].

Anhydrides are a type of commonly selected reagent for esterification of the CNC surface (Fig.1). Mild conditions and controllable anhydride esterification were used to produce CNCs with a highly carboxylated ethylenediaminetetraacetic dianhydride (EDTAD)-modified surface (ECNCs), which are expected to maintain their integration, in contrast to those produced by TEMPO oxidation, for easy regulation of the densities of molecules. EDTAD can also be used for esterification of hydroxyl groups on the CNC surface.Acetic anhydride has been proved to be an effective reagent for acetylation of the CNC surface. Alkenyl succinic anhydride has also been used to improve the compatibility of CNCs with non-polar materials[79-80].Via esterification, the modified CNCs can achieve a higher carboxylation degree than TEMPO-oxidized CNCs and can be used to make fCNCs with higher fluorescence intensity. The application of these reactions in the preparation of fCNCs will be introduced in detail in the following section.

Fig.2 TEMPO, sodium periodate, and APS oxidation of CNC surface

However, in TEMPO oxidation of CNCs,hypochlorite is used. Heating of hypochlorite in water can generate chlorine, which is extremely harmful for the environment; this can seriously limit the industrialization of the TEMPO oxidation process. APS is an inexpensive oxidant with low long-term toxicity and high water solubility[69,75] (Fig.2(c)). Persulfate oxidation is a novel method because the carboxylic acid functionality is a direct result of the particle extraction method. Under heating, persulfate hydrolyzes in aqueous solution to form hydrogen peroxide and persulfate free radicals, which are strongly oxidizing.Under their combined action, the lignin, hemicellulose,and amorphous regions of cellulose in raw plant fiber materials are oxidized and degraded, thereby releasing the crystalline cellulose region. In addition, the persulfate method can effectively oxidize the hydroxyl groups on the surface of CNCs into carboxyl groups,increase the surface charge of CNCs, and enhance the colloidal stability of CNCs. Consequently, the resulting CNCs are uniform and possess nanoscale dimensions.

The method of modifying the surface of CNCs with two fluorescent molecules (FITC and RBITC)separately is similar to that described above[99-100]. A suspension of RBITC-labeled CNCs appeared wine red and exhibited emission under excitation at 540 nm,which is attributed to RBITC. Note that in comparison with a free RBITC aqueous solution, the fluorescence emission of RBITC-labeled CNCs was red-shifted(from 577 nm to 584 nm), which was attributed to the influence of the fluorescent molecules covalently attached to the nanocrystals. Although both molecules showed low cytotoxicity and strong fluorescence,further study demonstrated that FITC-CNCs and RBITC-CNCs were unsuitable for use as biomarkers.Compared to FITC-CNCs, RBITC-CNCs penetrated the cell membrane more easily at various pH values owing to their cationic surfaces. However, the FITCCNCs could penetrate the cell membrane only at low pH values but aggregated on the cell surface in neutral and high pH environments, allowing the FITC-CNCs to better detect cancer cells.

The oxidized products have almost homogeneous chemical structures of β-1,4-linked polyglucuronic acid (cellouronic acid). Hence, the C6-primary hydroxyls of CNCs can be entirely converted to C6-sodium carboxyl or aldehyde groups by TEMPO-mediated oxidation, while the reaction also show a great selectivity to the C6-OH of CNC[70-72]. The maximum degree of oxidation (DOmax) of CNCs was calculated as 0.095 (roughly 0.1) using a simplified rectangle model.As the NaClO/anhydroglucose unit ratio changed, the DO of CNCs varied from partial oxidation (DO=0.029) to nearly complete oxidation (DO=0.097)[13, 73-74].

3 Methods of preparing fluorescent-tagged CNCs

Owing to the various functional groups on fluorescent molecules (small molecules or macromolecules) or QDs, e.g., the isocyanate group, carboxyl group, amino group, hydrazine group, and alkynyl group, many types of reactions can be applied. Thus, fCNCs can form chemical or physical interactions between fluorescent molecules or QDs and the surface-active groups of the CNCs. Here, we will focus mainly on methods of constructing fCNCs. Table 1 summarizes recent studies on surface immobilization of fluorescent molecules(small molecules or macromolecules) or QDs on CNCs using different strategies (chemical binding or physical absorption).

3.1 Carbamation reaction

Isocyanate or isothiocyanate can react with hydroxyl groups or amino groups on the surface of CNCs[38,96-97,99]. This reaction is typically used to modify the CNC surface with fluorescent molecules or other functional groups.Therefore, this reaction is very suitable for CNC surface modification in some cases. However, the base used in this reaction may damage biomacromolecules such as proteins, so the use of the resulting CNCs in living organisms is limited. In 2007, Roman’s group reported a three-step strategy for covalently attaching fluorescein-5′-isothiocyanate (FITC) molecules to the surface of CNCs[38,99]. First, epichlorohydrin was attached to the hydroxyl groups of CNCs by nucleophilic substitution. Subsequently, ammonium hydroxide was used to convert the epoxy group to an amino group. Finally, FITC was conjugated onto CNCs via the reaction between the isothiocyanate group and amino group. It was shown that the unlabeled suspension was colorless and slightly opaque, whereas the FITC-labeled CNC suspension appeared clear and yellow. Further, according to the results of UV/vis spectroscopy, the FITC-labeled nanocrystals showed the absorption maxima peak associated with both the dianionic (490 nm) and anionic (453 and 472 nm) forms of FITC, whereas unlabeled CNCs did not show any absorption peak in the wavelength range 200~600 nm.A calculation showed that approximately 30 μmol/g of FITC was attached to each CNC, which was sufficient for application in bioimaging.

土地资源承载力一般是指一定地区的土地所能持续供养的人口数量,即土地资源人口载量,其实质是研究人口消费与食物生产、人类需求与资源供给间的平衡关系问题[19]。由于近年来农村居民点复垦在耕地补充以及促进农村可持续发展的重要性越来越明显,因此在区域农村居民点复垦分区研究中,进行土地资源承载力评价就显的十分必要。区域土地资源力越小,表明当地的人地矛盾越突出,通过农村居民点复垦增加耕地的需求越迫切,应进行优先复垦;相反,则进行适度复垦。

Sodium periodate is another useful oxidant that can be used to introduce aldehyde groups onto the CNC surface[31,41,68] (Fig.2(b)). It can selectively oxidize the C2 and C3 hydroxyl groups into 2,3-dialdehyde units.The resulting product is generally used to react with substances that have a primary amine group to form a Schiff base. For example, Alexa Fluor dyes can be facilely conjugated onto CNCs by this strategy while retaining the overall crystalline structure of the CNCs.The amino groups on Alexa Fluor dyes can form a Schiff base with the aldehyde groups on oxidized CNCs under mild conditions[77]. Further, 7-hydrazino-4-methylcoumarin (HMC) or 7-amino-4-methylcoumarin(AMC) can also be prepared by attaching hydrazineor amino-substituted fluorophores onto CNCs to form hydrazine and Schiff-base compounds[78].

Nielsen et al[97] developed two synthetic approaches to introduce two fluorescent or dye molecules onto CNCs for the preparation of dual-fluorescent-labeled CNCs. The first approach employed a procedure similar to that of Dong and Roman and involved the reaction between amino CNCs and both isothiocyanates, FITC and RBITC. The quantities of FITC and RBITC on the dual-fluorescent-labeled CNCs were estimated to be 2.8 μmol/g and 2.1 μmol/g, respectively. To avoid the use of scarce isothiocyanate fluorescent molecules, a new three-step procedure was performed on CNCs: the introduction of a double bond on the CNCs via esterification, followed by thiol-ene Michael addition and finally coupling with succinimidyl ester dyes. Two different pH-sensitive dyes, 5-(and-6)-carboxyfluorescein succinimidyl ester (FAM-SE)and Oregon green 488 carboxylic acid, succinimidyl ester (OG-SE), were grafted onto CNCs along with the reference, fluorophore 5,6-carboxytetramethyl rhodamine succinimidyl ester (TAMRA-SE) dye, which is brighter than Rhodamine B and is available only as a succinimidyl ester. The average quantities of the dyes on the labeled CNCs were 10.4 μmol/g (FAMSE), 4.7 μmol/g (TAMRA-SE) and 7.3 μmol/g (OGSE), 4.2 μmol/g (TAMRA-SE), respectively. The dualfluorescent-labeled CNCs (FITC- and RBITC-labeled CNCs) and two dual-dye-labeled CNCs (FAM-SE-and TAMRA-SE-labeled CNCs as well as OG-SE- and TAMRA-SE-labeled CNCs) all exhibited pH sensing in McIlvaine buffers under various pH value conditions.

3.2 Nucleophilic substitution

Nucleophilic substitution is another strategy for modifying the surface of CNCs with fluorescent molecules[62,81,102-103]. Fluorescent molecules containing halogen atoms such as chlorine or bromine are generally more suitable for this strategy. Hydroxyl groups or amino groups on the surface of CNCs (modified by an amination reaction) act as a nucleophilic reagent and react with a bromomethyl group or a chloromethyl group on a fluorescent molecule and replace a halogen atom by a nucleophilic substitution reaction; thus,CNCs can be modified by functional molecules.Both carbazole[81] and pyrene[62] were introduced onto the CNC surface by this reaction. Furthermore, by using this strategy, 5-(4,6-dichlorotriazinyl) aminofluorescein (DTAF) and RBITC were also attached to the CNC surface in an alkaline environment in one step[90]. Although the requirements for the reagents and environment are relatively high, this method of grafting fluorescent molecules onto the surface of CNCs is simple[62,102].

3.3 Amidation reaction

In some studies, many different molecules were grafted onto nanocrystals using the carboxylation-amidation reaction to create a covalent amide bond between a primary amine-terminated molecule and carboxylated CNCs by COOH-NH2 coupling[67,74,104-106]. It was reported that during this reaction, to make conjugation easier, N-hydromaleimide (NHS) and 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide can be used to activate the carboxyl group and facilitate the reaction between the carboxyl and primary amine in the first step (Fig.3). Then, the NHS-activated carboxyl group is directly reacted with the amine group in a neutral or alkaline environment to form the amide. By using this two-step reaction, the amidation reaction can be controlled, and no excess byproducts are produced. The advantages of this method are mild reaction conditions,a simple operation procedure, and convenient disposal.Amidation can be applied to studies in which rhodamine methacrylamide is immobilized on the surface of the CNC[61,76,91,98] (Fig.4(c) and Fig.4(e)). Rhodamine, a popular fluorophore probe, has been investigated in terms of its physical and chemical features owing to its excellent photophysical properties and low cost.Because rhodamine methacrylamide is heat-sensitive,the fluorescence signal of rhodamine-methacrylamidemodified CNCs (RhB-CNCs) can be controlled,because the isoporphyrin-a substructure destroys the binding of rhodamine and turns the fluorescence signal off. When RhB-CNCs are treated with ultraviolet light, the five-membered open ring re-forms the π bond and turns the fluorescence signal on. Huang’s group reported the use of the amino acid L-leucine as a spacer linker for attachment of 5 (and 6)-carboxy-2’,7’-dichlorofluorescein to CNCs[98].

Fig.3 Amidation on CNC surface

3.4 Schiff base reaction

A Schiff base is a compound in which carbon atoms and nitrogen atoms are bonded by double bonds. Although the formation of Schiff bases is reversible, the reaction is widely used for surface modification of CNCs[77-78,82,94] (Fig.4(f)).Reduction of a double bond between a carbon atom and a nitrogen atom into a single bond is a useful measure to immobilize a functional group on the surfaces of CNCs. However, because the glucoside at the end of the cellulose chain can form an aldehyde group, it may be much easier to decorate the CNC surface with a functional group using a Schiff base. The degree of substitution (DS) of the fluorescent-molecule-modified CNC obtained by this strategy is relatively low, but the reaction can be carried out in one step and stably under physiological conditions, and thus it is still used for some in vivo biomarkers. Huang et al used this strategy for fluorescent labeling of CNCs with HMC and AMC[78]. CNCs labeled with Alexa Fluor 633 were also prepared by this reaction[93].

3.5 Click reaction

Click chemistry has been utilized to prepare new fluorescent cellulose nanomaterials[88-89,94] (Fig.4(a)).Filpponen et al reported that the primary hydroxyl groups in CNCs were first selectively oxidized to carboxylic acids. In the next step, a compound having a terminal amine functional group (propargylamine)was grafted to the surface of the oxidized CNCs by an amidation reaction, and the alkynyl group was used as a reaction site for further modification. These surface-modified CNCs were finally subjected to click chemistry reaction conditions, that is, copper(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition with an azidecontaining fluorescent coumarin, to produce highly fluorescent-tagged CNCs[94].

4 Fabrication of fluorescent CNCs for ion detection

Among many green nanomaterials, CNCs are preferred owing to their excellent properties, such as the high density of surface active hydroxyl groups and low cost[22,37,69,107]. In addition, an important property of CNCs prepared by sulfuric acid hydrolysis is the grafting of sulfate esters, which are negatively charged,onto the surfaces of the CNCs. Owing to the presence of charged groups, the colloidal stability of aqueous suspensions of CNCs helps to block aggregation through electrostatic repulsion interactions[26]. This property is attractive for water-based dispersion and processing of CNCs. There are many reports on microcrystalline cellulose[53-54], fluorophore-labeled cellulose[55], and CNCs. This review will consider mainly works related to CNCs. In covalent conjunction with CNCs, fluorescent molecules (small molecules or macromolecules) or QDs can be used to label CNCs not only for fluorescence bioassay and bioimaging applications but also for the detection of metal ions and monitoring the bio-effects of nanoparticles inside cells or human beings. Owing to the small size of fluorescent molecules (which results in smaller spatial effects) and their higher reactivity (various functional groups and stable chemistry), it is easier to bind fluorescent molecules to the CNC surface than other macromolecules. Dong and Roman used a multistep method to tag NH2-CNCs with FITC at a level of one fluorophore group per 27 nm2 of CNC surface[38]. Mahmoud et al used a similar method to tag CNCs with fluorophores, including FITC and RBITC[99]. A simple, low-cost, and scalable twostep method was used to attach FITC and a pyrenebased fluorophore to aminosilane-treated CNCs[95-96].Filpponen et al used TEMPO oxidation, carbodiimide amidation, and copper (I)-catalyzed azide–alkyne click chemistry to add coumarin and anthracene fluorophores to CNC surfaces[93]. Nielsen et al presented a thiolene reaction method to modify CNCs with pH-responsive fluorophores[97]. Abitbol et al prepared DTAF-tagged CNCs by nucleophilic substitution[90].In addition, stimuli-responsive fluorescent sensors are also widely applied in the regulation of cell or tissue environments and other fields. Stimuli-responsive polymers have attracted attention in recent years.Yuan et al synthesized CNC-g-poly(AzoC6MA-co-DMAEMA) fluorescent nanosensors by the atom transfer radical copolymerization (ATRP) reaction[86].In contrast to organic fluorophores, core-shell QDs are resistant to photobleaching and have high quantum yields, broad excitation, and narrow, symmetric emission bands[46, 76]. The size-dependent optical properties allow simultaneous excitation of QDs of different sizes using a single wavelength, such as simple UV light[92, 101, 108].The interest in cellulose as a substrate for fluorescent molecules and nanoparticles is driven by its relative inertness, along with recognition of the potential of this combination to develop new functional materials that combine the unique optical properties of QDs with the properties contributed by cellulose, e.g., transparency,good mechanical properties, and self-assembly. Abitbol et al used a carbodiimide chemistry coupling approach to decorate carboxylated CNCs with Cd/ZnS QDs[76].These fluorescent-group-modified nanomaterials are used in bioimaging, sensing, in vivo detection, and so on. Optical nanosensors are widely used today,and many of them use fluorescence as an indicator to measure changes in biological indicators owing to their high sensitivity, usefulness for remote monitoring, and real-time performance.

Fig.5 Synthesis of CNC-SA-COOC6TPP

Chen et al synthesized a porphyrin-functionalized CNC fluorescence nanosensor (CNC-SA-COOC6TPP)by simple esterification of extended porphyrin (TPPC6-OH) with carboxylated CNCs (CNC-SA-COOH)(Fig.5)[61]. Owing to the specific formation of the Hg2+-porphyrin complex as well as the interaction stoichiometry of one Hg2+ per porphyrin moiety, Hg2+was specifically detected with interference from other metal ions[109-113]. Porphyrin pendants could serve as Hg2+-reactive sensors, and the CNCs afforded mechanical support, acting as a backbone with good dispersion in water. Moreover, the CNC-SACOOC6TPP nanomaterials could be easily separated from water by filtering. These features make CNCSA-COOC6TPP nanomaterials a promising fluorescent chemical sensor. The synthesized chemical sensor realized high-selectivity detection of Hg2+ with a credible detection limit of 5.0×108 mol/L (50 nmol/L)at a concentration of 0.01 wt%. When combined with Hg2+, the CNC-SA-COOC6TPP nanomaterials exhibited a distinct blue shift of the fluorescence peak from 652.5 nm to 628.5 nm, which was assigned to stable coordination aggregates induced by Hg2+[114].

Fluorescent sensors for Fe3+ in aqueous environments are rare. A limiting factor in the design of such sensor molecules is the paramagnetism of Fe3+, which can cause fluorescence quenching[97, 115].In addition, many Fe3+-selective fluorescent probes are hydrophobic, and this incompatibility with aqueous environments limits the use of these sensors in biological systems. To overcome fluorescence quenching, researchers utilized a “green” nanomaterial for this template. The fluorescent chromophore, pyrene,which can detect Fe3+, is grafted onto the surface of CNC to improve the compatibility of the chromophore with aqueous environments. CNCs grafted with pyrene(Py-CNCs) are well dispersed in water (Fig.6). The sensors were used to detect Fe3+ in environmental and biological systems[62]. The fluorescence emission of pyrene was enhanced after modification of CNCs. The Py-CNCs exhibited high selectivity toward Fe3+ among other screened metal ions, with good discrimination between different iron oxidation states (Fe2+ and Fe3+).The quenching reaction mechanism of Fe3+ on Py-CNC is ligand-metal charge transfer, in which the charge transfer transition is initiated by the unfilled shell of paramagnetic and iron ions. The coordination reaction between Fe3+ and Py-CNCs is mainly an additional coordination of the N—H group, which is well known for strong binding affinity for transition metals and 2-hydroxy groups[56, 116].

Terpyridine is a N heterocycle that has a strong binding affinity for many transition metal ions owing to its ability to chelate with the dπ-pπ* of the coordination metal ions[117-119]. Much research has been done on the use of transition metal-terpyridine complexes in optics,Electricity, magnetism, etc., and this complex can be reversed by changing the pH value or temperature[103, 120-121]. CNCs were used as a potential scaffold for the construction of ordered arrays and networks with tunable properties.Terpyridine-modified CNCs (CTP), a new metalloand supramolecular nanocellulosic material[122-123], is prepared by nucleophilic substitution (Fig.7(a)), and its corresponding transition metal complexes have unique physicochemical properties and offer the possibility of forming supramolecular derivatives with a wide range of functionalities and applications (Fig.7(b)). According to the valence and reactant ratio, CTP can form a mono- or bis-teridinium metal complex with different transition metal ions. The complexation of transition metal ions with CTP occurs instantaneously, resulting in the formation of metal-nanocellulose materials with different optical properties (Fig.8).Owing mainly to complexation with different transition metal ions,the apparent red shift of the π-π*absorption band of terpyridine is from 350 nm to 413 nm.

Coumarin derivatives are important fluorescent dyes with high photoluminescence quantum efficiencies and applications in optical materials; they also display antitumor, antiviral, and antioxidant properties. Because the carbon in the 3-position in coumarins has a partial negative charge, the intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) mechanism can be modulated by introducing an electron-donating substituent at the 7-position or an electron-withdrawing substituent at the 3-position. Attachment of a hydrazide chain to the coumarin moiety at the 3-position could both enhance the ICT and set up a selective donor set for copper via the carbonyl oxygen and amide nitrogen[124, 125]. Huang et al constructed a new type of coumarin-modified CNC probe for selective and quantitative detection of Cu2+ in solution via a two-step reaction strategy,i.e., esterification of EDTAD to produce CNCs with a highly carboxylated surface and subsequent amidation with AMC to give fluorescent AMC-amidated ECNCs(Fig.9). At the same time, the steric effect and colloidal stability of rigid fCNCs might contribute to the prevention of self-quenching of surface AMC, resulting in a stable fluorescence intensity regardless of the fCNC concentration[80].

5 Conclusions

In this review, we focused on fCNC-based metal ion detection. Strategies for surface modification of CNCs, an important step in preparation of fCNCs,were first introduced. Then, various works that used the rich hydroxyl groups on the CNC surface to prepare fCNCs with different emission wavelengths and luminous behavior were reviewed. Finally, we analyzed works on metal ion detection by fCNCs in detail, gave examples, and discussed the effect of the molecular structure of fCNCs on their detection ability.Compared with fluorescent-molecule-based metal ion detection, detection by fCNCs has advantages,as follows: 1) Because the raw material of fCNCs,CNCs, have hydrophilic surface, fCNCs can be stably dispersed in water, so they provide an ideal platform to detect metal ions in aqueous solution; 2) The facile surface modification of CNCs can provide more options for designing fCNC sensors; 3) fCNCs exhibit stable fluorescence intensity with respect to the fCNC concentration, and thus provide a reliable detection result. Thus, in conclusion, owing to the low toxicity and low cost of CNCs, fCNCs are expected to afford high-performance but inexpensive and environmentally friendly sensors with specific functional properties for in vivo detection, bioimaging, drug delivery, and so on.
