Definitions
- the present invention relates to functionalised rhodamines and acridines, to processes for their preparation as well as to polyacrylates, polymethacrylates and polyurethanes which contain these rhodamines or acridines bound covalently via their functional groups.
- the invention also relates a) to an optical sensor, comprising the polymer-bound fluorophores, counterions in the form of lipophilic salts and a ionophore, b) to a process for the optical determination of ions by the fluorescence method, e.g. of cations selected from the group consisting of metal cations and ammonium cations, or e.g. of anions selected from the group consisting of anions of inorganic or organic acids, and also c) to the use of the optical sensor for the determination of anions or cations, in particular in aqueous solutions.
- an optical sensor comprising the polymer-bound fluorophores, counterions in the form of lipophilic salts
- the sensors which are also termed optrodes, usually consist of a transparent carrier material and an active layer.
- Said active layer normally comprises a transparent hydrophobic polymer and a lipophilic plasticiser to achieve sufficient diffusion of the ions and solubility of the active components.
- Active components are a specific ionophore as sequestrant for ions, a counterion to maintain the electric neutrality and an indicator substance which produces a measurable optical signal resulting from a chemical or physical change of the environment.
- US-A-4 645 744 describes such systems wherein the indicator substance is a neutral compound such as a dye (p-nitrophenol) which interacts with a ionophore/metal cation complex resulting in an optically measurable signal in the form of a change in colour.
- the interaction can, for example, cause the removal of a proton from a dye resulting in a change of the electron state.
- Fluorescent compounds e.g. fluorescein
- fluorescein are also cited as suitable, the fluorescence of which can be altered by the change in the electron state and can be optically determined via fluorescence measurements.
- H. He et al. describe systems using a proton carrier (nile blue) as indicator substance, in which systems the transport of potassium into the active layer using valinomycin as ionophore dissociates the proton carrier and one proton diffuses into the aqueous phase.
- the proton carrier changes its colour from blue to red and, depending on the chosen wavelength, it is possible to determine the decrease in fluorescence of the blue dye or the corresponding increase in fluorescence of the red dye. Owing to higher sensitivity and selectivity, it is preferred to measure the fluorescence.
- One substantial disadvantage of the process is the low sensitivity of the system which is due to the low quantum yield of fluorescence of the indicator dye employed.
- Y. Kawabata describes a membrane system for the optical determination of potassium which is based on the use of a hydrophobic ion exchanger, namely 3,6-bis(dimethylamino)-10-dodecyl-acridinium bromide or 3,6-bis(dimethylamino)-10-dodecyl-10-hexadecyl-acridinium bromide.
- a change in fluorescence is achieved by changing the polarity of the microenvironment of the sample because the acridinium salts diffuse via ion exchange with the potassium ion to the interface of the aqueous phase.
- the systems commonly known today comprise in the active layer high molecular weight hydrophobic polymers (typically PVC) in combination with a plasticiser to ensure fast response times and sufficient sensitivities.
- a plasticiser typically PVC
- long-term stability and repeated use is severely restricted because the plasticiser and other low molecular weight components such as ionophores or fluorophores are washed out in the course of time.
- the state of the art tries to solve the long-term stability problem of the optical sensor by introducing highly lipophilic groups into the components employed.
- acridine and rhodamine dyes are lipophilic, pH- sensitive as well as strongly basic fluorophores which are excellently suited for use in a neutral plasticiser-free polymer membrane of low glass transition temperature T g together with a ionophore and a counterion for determining ions according to the ion exchange mechanism.
- the fluorophores are distinguished by a high quantum yield of fluorescence, high basicity, a great difference between the fluorescence signals of the protonated and deprotonated form, high lipophilic properties, sufficient photostability and suitable abso ⁇ tion and emission wavelengths. It is possible to fabricate highly sensitive systems for the optical determination of ions based on fluorescence measurements.
- the polymers in the membrane can be plasticiser-free hydrophobic polymers having a defined low glass transition range and because no washing-out of the fluorophores need be feared. This is a special advantage in particular in very thin membranes having fast response times.

Further possible processes for the preparation of the membrane are those known from coating technology, typically spinning, spraying or doctor coating processes. Spin-coating processes are preferred.
- Suitable solvents are ethers, esters, acid amides and ketones.
- Readily volatile solvents are particularly suitable, preferably tetrahydrofuran.
- thermoplastic processing In addition to these processes, which comprise first dissolving the composition, moulding it and and then removing the solvent by evaporation, heat moulding processes are also possible because the composition is a thermoplastic material.

- the high lipophilic properties, high basicity and the great dynamic range of the change between the fluorescence of the protonated and deprotonated form meet in particular the high demands made on an optical determination of ions based on the measurement of the fluorescence.

- the optical sensor is particularly suitable for the quantitative determination of ions, in particular of cations, very particularly of metal cations, typically potassium cations, in aqueous environment, preferably using fluorescence spectrometry.
- the determinations can be carried out in short time at high accuracy even at low concentrations (e.g. in the ⁇ -molar range up to the nanomolar range) because the pH-dependent equilibria of the complexing reactions and of the proton exchange adjust quickly and because the fluorophores are distinguished by high fluorescence quantum yields and sensitivity.
- the analyses can be typically carried out direct in body fluids (blood, urine, serum), natural waters or waste waters, while possibly interfering cations can be specifically bound or removed beforehand.
- the novel composition is particularly suitable for the determination of physiological amounts of cations in aqueous media which, in the case of potassium, may be e.g. in the range from about 0.5 to 10 mmol.
- fluorescence spectroscopy In addition to the preferred fluorescence spectroscopy, other optical methods of measurement can also be used, typically surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy, ab ⁇ sorption spectroscopy, reflection spectroscopy, interferometry or surface-enhanced Raman or fluorescence spectroscopy.
- the invention also relates to a process for the optical determination of ions in aqueous test samples by contacting a sensor of this invention with said aqueous test sample and then measuring the change in fluorescence of the fluorophore in the polymer layer.
- the process of this invention can typically be carried out such that the carrier is mounted with the active polymer layer in an optical cell wherein the active layer is contacted with the test sample.
- the optical cell contains a window through which the active layer can be irradiated to excitation and the emitted fluorescent radiation can be measured with a spectrofluorometer. The wavelengths are adjusted such that maximum absorption is obtained for the irradiation and maximum emission is obtained for the fluorescence measurement. The intensity is measured as a function of time.
- the measuring system can be such that measurement is carried out discontinuously or continuously e.g. by pumping the measuring solution through the measuring cell.
- the system can first be calibrated using test samples of known concentration by applying the concentrations as function of the intensity of the fluorescence.
- pH buffers are expediently added to the test sample because, owing to the pH dependence of the absorption spectrum of the fluorophore and consequently also of the fluorescence intensity of the fluorophore, the sensitivity of the measurement depends on the pH of the measuring solution. However, in another embodiment of this invention said pH dependence can also be determined and be taken into account in the calculations.
- the pH range of the test sample can be, for example, 4 to 8, preferably 6.5 to 7.5.
- Suitable buffers are typically citrate buffers and phosphate buffers. Further buffer systems are described in US-A-4 645 744, in particular also such buffers which are incorporated direct into the active layer to avoid the addition to the test sample.
- the invention also relates to the use of the optical sensor for the fluorescence spectroscopic analysis of cations or anions.
- Ts in the structural formulae hereinbelow denotes a tosyl radical.
