Colorimetric Method for the Detection of Mercury Ions Based on Gold Nanoparticles and Mercaptophenyl Boronic Acid.
In the present study, we found that phenylboronic acid derivatives including benzene-1,4-diboronic acid (BDBA) and mercaptophenyl boronic acid (MPBA) can induce the aggregation of citrate-capped gold nanoparticles (Au NPs). However, the speed of Au NP aggregation induced by MPBA was much faster than that of BDBA. The reaction between MPBA and Hg2+ ions resulted in the formation of MPBA-Hg2+ -MPBA, which was similar to BDBA having two free boronic acid groups. Based on the above phenomenon, a sensitive and selective colorimetric method for the detection of mercury ions (Hg2+ ) in aqueous solution was developed. The linear range for the detection of Hg2+ ions was from 0.08 to 1.25 μmol dm-3 with a detection limit of 37 nmol dm-3 . The strategy offered excellent selectivity toward Hg2+ against other metal ions. Meanwhile, this simple and cost-effective sensor was applied to determine the Hg2+ in the lake water samples with satisfactory recoveries (91.3 - 100.7%).
