摘要

A dual-responsive fluorescent chemosensor based on a 1,3,4-oxadiazole-linked bis-indole scaffold (FM) was developed for the selective and sensitive detection of 2,4,6-trinitrophenol (TNP) and iron ions (Fe3⁺ and Fe2⁺) in aqueous media. The probe exhibits strong photophysical properties, including a prominent emission at 438 nm and a large Stokes shift of 79 nm. Upon interaction with TNP or iron ions, a significant fluorescence “turn-off” response and bathochromic shifts were observed, attributed to π–π stacking, hydrogen bonding, and coordination interactions. Job’s plot analysis revealed a 2:3 binding stoichiometry for TNP and 1:1 for both iron species, indicating distinct recognition mechanisms. For TNP, a high Stern–Volmer quenching constant (Ksv = 113.98 × 103 M⁻1) and a low detection limit (LOD = 59 nM) were obtained, outperforming many previously reported sensors. The probe also demonstrated reliable detection of Fe3⁺ and Fe2⁺ ions with LOD values of 2.95 µM and 16.2 µM, respectively. The FM sensor exhibited excellent photostability, rapid response (< 30 s), and high selectivity in the presence of competing analytes. Furthermore, a paper-based detection platform was successfully fabricated, enabling rapid visual detection of TNP under UV and daylight. These results highlight FM as a promising fluorescent sensor for environmental and security-related applications involving nitroaromatic explosives and metal ions.
