Gold nanoshells with magnetic cores and an urea-based receptor for SERS sensing of fluoride anions: experimental and computational study

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The study demonstrates that a combination of plasmonic nanostructures and artificial receptors can be applied for sensing of small molecular species. Gold nanoshells containing magnetic cores are used as the SERS-active substrate, which opens the way for the development of multimodal contrast agents with applicability extended to sensing or for the separation of analytes by magnetic solid-phase extraction. Disubstituted ureas forming hydrogen-bonded complexes with certain anions can be employed as their molecular sensors. In this case study, the gold nanoshells with silica-coated Mn-Zn ferrite cores are prepared by a multistep procedure. The nanoshells are co-functionalized with the N-(4-mercaptophenyl)-N’-(4-nitrophenyl)urea sensor, synthesized directly on the gold surface, and with 4-nitrothiophenol, which is adopted as an internal standard. SERS measurements are carried out with acetonitrile solutions of tetrabutylammonium fluoride (Bu4NF) over a concentration range of 10-10–10-1 mol L-1. The spectral response of the sensor is dependent on the fluoride concentration in the range 10-5–10-1 mol L-1. To investigate more the SERS mechanism, a model sensor, N-(4‑bromophenyl)‑N’-(4‑nitrophenyl)urea, was synthesized and used in Raman spectroscopy with solutions of Bu4NF, up to the molar ratio of 1:20. The spectra and the interactions between the sensors and fluoride anions are also studied by extensive DFT computations.
