HCHO-reactive molecule with dual-emission-enhancement property for quantitatively detecting HCHO in near 100% water solution
A dual-model fluorescent probe for formaldehyde has been developed. With excitation at
365 and 400 nm respectively and upon addition of formaldehyde, the fluorescent probe
displays off-on fluorescence responses at 415 and 505 nm. Formaldehyde can be detected
quantitatively in the concentration range from 0 to 2.7× 10− 2 M and the detection limit on
fluorescence response of the probe can be as low as 6 μM. The proposed method was
successfully employed for preliminary application in several commercially available foods.
