摘要

Heavy metal Cu2+ from industrial discharge continuously accumulates in ecosystems, posing threats to human health and ecological balance. Researchers successfully synthesized a novel fluorescent probe, TPA-OPD, via a Schiff base reaction between triphenylamine and o-phenylenediamine. TPA-OPD exhibits rapid, highly selective, and sensitive fluorescence quenching in response to Cu2+, along with excellent anti-interference capability. The binding mechanism between Cu²⁺ and TPA-OPD was confirmed by Job’s plot, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, nuclear magnetic resonance, and Gaussian calculations. TPA-OPD effectively detects Cu2+ in real-world environmental samples such as tap water and river water, demonstrating strong potential for monitoring Cu2+ pollution.
