Abstract
In this paper, a molybdenum disulfide fluorescent probe with an Fe3+ fluorescent system was first synthesized by the hydrothermal method for the detection of iron ion concentration in oral solution of protein succinate. It was characterized by infrared, fluorescence, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. The probes were found to have good stability, photobleaching, and storage stability. The effects of dilution, pH, reaction time, and iron ion concentration on the fluorescent system were also investigated. The relative fluorescence intensity [(I0 - I)/I0] showed a good linear relationship with the iron ion concentration in the range of 0-50 μM, with the linear equation [(I0 - I)/I0] = 0.0148[Fe3+] + 0.0833 (r2 = 0.9943, n = 11) and the detection limit of 2.43 μM. The reaction mechanism was also explored, as well as its ion selectivity, reversibility, accuracy, precision, and concentration of Fe ions in the actual sample. It was found that the probe can selectively detect Fe ions with a certain degree of reversibility, accuracy, precision, and ideal recovery, and it can be used for the determination of Fe3+ in proteosuccinic acid oral solution.
