Abstract
A novel fluorescent “off” sensor, R-β-D-1, was obtained in high yield (91.2%) by using octahydronaphthol as a backbone, introducing an alkyne group at the 2-position, and linking azido-glucose via a click reaction. The sensor was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy and was found to be a self-assembled vesicle. AFM results showed that the fluorescence burst was extinguished by the addition of Fe3+, and the fluorescence was restored by the addition of cysteine. This is due to charge transfer within the molecular structure, resulting in the ICT effect and phototransfer of electrons (PET), as well as redshifting (from 331 nm to 351 nm) and quenching of the fluorescence. The self-assembled vesicles of the fluorescent sensor R-β-D-1 encapsulated Fe3+, but upon addition of cysteine, the vesicles of R-β-D-1–Fe3+ were also complexed with it, forming the R-β-D-1–Fe3+–L-Cys complex, at which point fluorescence gradually returned. Therefore, the fluorescence test of this probe showed that the lowest detection limit of iron ions was 1.67 × 10−7 mol L−1, and its complexation mode was in the form of 1 + 1. The novel probe formed by R-β-D-1–Fe3+ can be used for the fluorescence detection of cysteine.
Introduction
Vesicles are self-assembled nanoparticles that, due to their unique hollow structure, can be used as drug carriers in medical therapies, transporting drug molecules to reach targeted cells and protecting surrounding healthy tissues.1,2 In this respect, vesicles are similar in structure to cell membranes and can be used to mimic biological membranes, which has attracted the interest of many researchers.3 The vesicle membrane can be used for molecular recognition through metal ion coordination, hydrogen bonding and other non-covalent bonding effects. In addition, metal coordination-induced vesicle aggregation can help to better understand the role of metal ions in cell membrane movement, as phospholipids in cell membranes are able to form complexes with some specific metal ions, such as Ca2+.4,5 Selective metal ions can trigger vesicle aggregation through rational building block design. Thus, vesicle aggregation systems may be a good platform for metal ion sensors, which are less often mentioned.
Due to the importance of transition metal ions in biology and the environment, the design and synthesis of fluorescent sensors that can effectively recognize transition metal ions has attracted great interest.6–10 The pollution by metal ions is increasing today with the rapid development of modern industry, especially industrial effluents discharged into rivers and lakes, etc. The pollution caused by transition metal ions pollution is the most serious, of which Fe3+ pollution is the most common. If the Fe3+ content in fresh water (especially drinking water) is insufficient or excessive, it will cause a series of problems. For example, too much Fe3+ in human body will cause iron poisoning and increase the chance of intestinal cancer; too little lead to cause anemia, low immunity and other adverse reactions.11–15 Excess Fe3+ in rivers may lead to the death or overpopulation of aquatic organisms, so rapid detection of the presence of Fe3+ is essential.16 Amino acids have important roles in living organisms, for example, methionine can participate in detoxification reactions in the liver, which can promote the discharge of toxic substances, with certain antioxidant effects; arginine can promote the synthesis of urea in the human body, thus reducing the concentration of blood ammonia, so it is very important to detect arginine, and it is very convenient and fast to detect it by the method of fluorescence sensor17–19 and cysteine also plays a very important role in the human body such as skin damage, hair discoloration, lethargy and other issues. There are many ways for organisms to ingest cysteine; animals mainly ingest cysteine through feed, while humans mainly ingest cysteine through milk and food.20–26 Therefore, the detection of cysteine is very important, and the fluorescent probe assay has a great advantage with the advantages of high sensitivity and simplicity.27,28 According to research reports, triazole can be used as a corrosion inhibitor for organic copper29,30 and is a very important metal complex.31,32 1,2,3-Triazole has better affinity and easier coordination with metal ions.33,34
In this paper, a 2-substituted 1,2,3-triazole-glucose derivative based on octahydronaphthol was synthesized by introducing glucose molecules via click reaction. It can be observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) that the new fluorescent probe self-assembles in ethanol solution into a vesicular structure suitable for the recognition of Fe3+, which has not been reported in the literature. The fluorescence properties of the derivative were investigated and it was found to selectively recognize Fe3+ and to provide secondary recognition of cysteine. The secondary recognition of the sensor R-β-D-1 with Fe3+ and cysteine was probed using SEM and TEM.

Results and discussion
According to Scheme 1, the relatively easily synthesized R-1 was synthesized from R-H8-BINOL and 3-bromo-1-propyne with moderate yields, respectively. Then the click reactions of R-1 and 1-azido-2,3,4-triacetoxy-5-acetoxymethyl-D-glucose were carried out under the catalytic effect of Cu+ (formed by the reduction of copper sulfate with sodium ascorbate) to obtain the desired target sensors, respectively. The yields were 89%, respectively. The resulting compounds were structurally characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR and ESI-MS.

It was found by DLS that it could self-assemble into vesicles with a tendency to polymerize, and its particle size was about 1–2 μm (Fig. 1). The ability to self-assemble into vesicle structure may be due to the hydrophilicity of the glucose moiety and the hydrophobicity of the benzene ring and triazole moiety.

Fluorescence study
The fluorescence spectral characteristics of the R-β-D-1 fluorescent chemosensor were investigated using a Hitachi F-7100 fluorescence spectrometer. As indicated in Fig. S8,† R-β-D-1 emitted mid-intensity fluorescence at 331 nm (λex = 278 nm, EX slit = 2.5 nm, EM slit = 2.5 nm). The effect of R-β-D-1 on different cations (Ba2+, Mn2+, Cu+, Ca2+, K+, Co3+, Cr3+, Zn2+, Al3+, Mg2+, Pb2+, Cu2+, Cd2+, Gd3+, Li+, Na+, NH4+, Ni2+, and Fe3+) in methanol solution was investigated by fluorescence spectrophotometry. The fluorescence of the sensor R-β-D-1 showed significant fluorescence quenching in response to Fe3+, whereas it did not show significant fluorescence quenching for other ions under the same conditions. Fig. 2 shows the fluorescence of R-β-D-1 and R-β-D-1 with the addition of 5 eq. Fe3+, fluorescence quenching rate of 65%. This indicates that R-β-D-1 is capable of specific fluorescence recognition of Fe3+.

Cations competition studies. In order to further investigate the selectivity and specificity of the fluorescence recognition of Fe3+ by R-β-D-1, we carried out ionic immunity experiments using fluorescence spectrometry on R-β-D-1, as shown in Fig. S7.† Other 5.0 equivalents of metal ions and the same equivalents of Fe3+ were mixed in the assay solution, and the fluorescence response was performed at λex = 278 nm and the fluorescence emission intensity was measured. The results of the study showed that the other metal ions had little effect on R-β-D-1–Fe3+. This suggests that R-β-D-1 can specifically selectively fluoresce in response to Fe3+ and can be used as a specific fluorescent probe for detecting background competing ions.The concentration-dependent fluorescence experimental detection of Fe3+ by the sensor R-β-D-1 is shown in Fig. 3. According to the results of the titration experiment, as shown in Fig. 3a, the fluorescence intensity of R-β-D-1 at 331 nm gradually decreased and red-shifted to 351 nm when Fe3+ increased from 0 to 17 eq. The maximum fluorescence intensity showed a good linear relationship with Fe3+ concentration (Fig. 3b).

To determine the complexation of R-β-D-1 with Fe3+, we investigated the bonding affinity of R-β-D-1 with Fe3+ and then plotted a Job's plot using the reported method. The total concentration of the mixed solution of R-β-D-1 and Fe3+ was kept at 2.0 × 10−5 M (R = 0.991) throughout the experiment. Based on the concentration-dependent fluorescence titration experiment (Fig. 4a), the minimum detection limit (LOD) of the novel sensor R-β-D-1 for Fe3+ was calculated from “LOD = 3σ/S” as 2.84 × 10−7 M. Based on the plots of I0/(I0 − I) and 1/[Fe3+], the complexation constant (Ka) of R-β-D-1 with Fe3+ was calculated to be 0.33 × 104 using the Benesi–Hildebrand equation as shown in Fig. 4b. As shown in the results of Fig. 4c, the molar fraction of [Fe3+] reached a maximum when [Fe3+]/([R-β-D-1] + [Fe3+]) was about 0.5, indicating that the sensor R-β-D-1 formed a 1 + 1 complex with Fe3+. And based on the fluorescence test data of R-β-D-1–Fe3+ and L-Cys, straight lines of I/(I0 − I) and 1/[L-Cys] were also fitted for R-β-D-1–Fe3+ and L-Cys. The binding constants of R-β-D-1–Fe3+ and L-Cys, Ka = 4.18 × 103 M−1, and the binding affinity, Kd = 2.39 × 10−4 M, were calculated as shown in Fig. S10.†

To further demonstrate that the complex R-β-D-1–Fe3+ of the sensor R-β-D-1 with Fe3+ was formed in a 1
:
1 stoichiometric ratio, the sensor R-β-D-1 and the complex R-β-D-1–Fe3+ were probed with ESI-MS, and a significant free at m/z = 1139.4050 was obtained, supplied by the [R-β-D-1 + Na+] R-β-D-1 molecular ion peak (Fig. 5a). Meanwhile, as can be seen from Fig. 6b, the complex R-β-D-1–Fe3+ was trapping an Cl− and a new peak was found at m/z = 1207.3193 (Fig. 5b). This finding supports our hypothesis that the R-β-D-1–Fe3+ complex has a strong binding affinity for Fe3+.

Fluorescence and absorption titration of amino acids against R-β-D-1–Fe3+. Fluorescence spectroscopy of the sensor R-β-D-1 was performed using a fluorescence spectrometer to analyze the R-β-D-1–Fe3+ complex as a novel fluorescent sensor for 17 natural amino acids. The fluorescence recognition plots of only R-β-D-1–Fe3+ versus L-Cys are presented in Fig. 6a, with the rest of the amino acids recognized in the ESI Fig. S9.† The fluorescence selectivity identification experiments were performed by adding 10.0 eq. of different natural amino acids (Phe, His, Lys, Ala, Arg, Ser, Met, Leu, Gly, Val, Asn, Gln, Thr, Glu, Pro, Asp, and Cys) to R-β-D-1–Fe3+ in MeOH solvent. As shown in Fig. 6a, there was some degree of fluorescence enhancement of R-β-D-1–Fe3+ at 331 nm in the presence of Cys, while there were no other significant changes in the fluorescence emission intensity of the other amino acids on the probe. This demonstrated that R-β-D-1–Fe3+ was able to specifically and selectively identify Cys. Meanwhile, fluorescence titration experiments were carried out with Cys against R-β-D-1–Fe3+ as shown in Fig. 6b. During the fluorescence titration of R-β-D-1–Fe3+, a gradual enhancement of the fluorescence intensity of R-β-D-1–Fe3+ was observed at 331 nm, and the fluorescence intensity reached a maximum with the addition of 9 eq. Cys, with a simultaneous redshift of 20 nm. The titration phenomenon of R-β-D-1 with Cys showed that the fluorescence gradually recovered with the titration of L-Cys, but instead of recovering the original fluorescence of R-β-D-1, it was red-shifted by 20 nm, which indicated that the L-Cys did not only complex with Fe3+, but rather the three substances, namely, R-β-D-1, Fe3+ as well as L-Cys, complexed, which caused the fluorescence of the sensor to be changed.
Electron microscopy studies. AFM also explored the process of recognition of Fe3+ by the sensor R-β-D-1 and secondary recognition of Cys. R-β-D-1 was seen and fluoresced under a microscope when dissolved in ethanol. While fluorescence disappeared from the field of view after the addition of Fe3+, it was restored by the addition of Cys, which was under the same phenomenon as in the fluorescence test (Fig. 7).

R-β-D-1 was dissolved in ethanol, configured with Fe3+ as well as amino acid test solutions, and used for SEM and TEM to obtain Fig. 8a–f. Fig. 8a showed that R-β-D-1 was dispersed vesicles with a particle size of approximately 2 μm. Furthermore, the color of the interior of the vesicles in contrast to the surrounding color suggested that the interior of the vesicles was a hollow structure similar to that of the vesicles formed by phospholipids. After the addition of Fe3+, R-β-D-1–Fe3+ vesicles were obtained, and due to the dynamic properties of the vesicle membrane, the added Fe3+ bound to the vesicles, which could be presumed to be due to the vesicles encapsulating the added Fe3+ inside the vesicle cavity according to the TEM (Fig. 8e). And after the addition of cysteine, like Fe3+, L-Cys also bound to the sensor R-β-D-1–Fe3+, forming three compounds of R-β-D-1–Fe3+–L-Cys complexed together (Fig. 8f). This indicates that the vesicle membrane is soft and flexible. This is the recognition of Fe3+ by R-β-D-1 and the secondary recognition of Cys.

Plausible mechanism for sensing of R-β-D-1. The plausible sensing mechanism of R-β-D-1. The article published by our group in 2022 was a monosubstituted xylose structure introduced by click reaction in BINOL,35 and the fluorescence redshift of its sensor was not obvious after the addition of Fe3+ and blueshifted to the initial fluorescence of the sensor after the addition of L-Cys, whereas in this paper, we introduced a double-substituted glucose on H8-BINOL, and the introduced glycan structures with different spatial resistances were not the same, and a significant redshift occurred after the addition of Fe3+ and no blueshift to the initial fluorescence of the sensor after the addition of L-Cys in the case of R-β-D-1, a significant redshift occurred after the addition of Fe3+, and there was no blue shift to the initial fluorescence after the addition of L-Cys, so the fluorescence phenomenon and mechanism of the two are not the same.According to the structural analysis of the sensor R-β-D-1, the rational mechanism for the recognition of Fe3+ and the secondary recognition of L-Cys is the intramolecular charge transfer effect (ICT) and phototropic electron transfer (PET),36,37 this is due to the fact that the N-3 of 1,4-disubstituted triazole can easily act as an electron acceptor,38–40 and the addition of Fe3+ acts as an electron donor, and the coordination between the two is easy to occur, which leads to the red-shift of fluorescence, and the electron jump from the ground state to the excited state of R-β-D-1 induced by light, and the electron in the excited state can not go back to the ground state after the addition of Fe3+, which leads to the quenching of fluorescence. And after the addition of L-Cys, the HS-group in cysteine is easy to coordinate with metal ions,41 and then combined with fluorescence titration Fig. 6b, fluorescence did not return to the starting fluorescence but red-shifted from 331 nm to 351 nm, in addition to then according to the TEM of Fig. 8f also proved the possibility of the three compounds complexed together. In order to further understand the recognition mechanism of R-β-D-1 with Fe3+, we performed DFT calculations. Density functional calculations of B3LYP/6-31G were carried out using the Gaussian 16W program, and the structure of R-β-D-1 before and after coordination with Fe3+ was calculated by taking into account the dispersion correction of GD3BJ (Fig. 9). From the figure, it can be found that Fe3+ complexes with the 3-N of 1,2,3-triazole, forming Fe3+–N bonds with bond lengths of 2.13 Å and 2.11 Å, which verifies the conjecture of our mechanism.

Conclusions
H8-BINOL–glucose derivatives were synthesized and characterized from azido glucose and R-H8-BINOL. The fluorescence properties of metals were investigated by spectroscopic techniques. The high selectivity and sensitivity of the sensor R-β-D-1 in Fe3+ sensing was confirmed by fluorescence response experiments, competition experiments and fluorescence titration experiments on 19 different metal ions. The stoichiometry and coordination of the complexes were determined by ESI-MS and fluorescence emission spectroscopy, confirming the existence of 1 + 1 mode binding between the sensor R-β-D-1 and Fe3+. The fluorescence response of the R-β-D-1–Fe3+ complex to amino acids was further explored using the R-β-D-1–Fe3+ complex as a novel fluorescent probe, and it was found that R-β-D-1–Fe3+ could perform secondary recognition of Cys. R-β-D-1–Fe3+ produced selective fluorescence enhancement of Cys in 17 natural amino acids through the interactions of the –SH side chain, which enabled R-β-D-1 and R-β-D-1–Fe3+ complex systems more attractive. In addition, SEM and TEM were also used to study the process of R-β-D-1 and Fe3+ and secondary recognition of L-Cys. It was found that after the sensor R-β-D-1 complexed with Fe3+, L-Cys was added to make the sensor vesicle wrap it together. These three compounds, R-β-D-1–Fe3+–L-Cys, were complexed together. The results suggest that R-β-D-1 can be used as a specific fluorescent probe for the detection of Fe3+ and can help to recognize Cys.
