Abstract
A colorimetric sensor for Cu(II) ions has been developed based on mixed self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) modified gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). The AuNPs were modified with mixed SAMs consisting of mercaptosuccinic acid and the product of electrochemically triggered Michael addition reaction of 4-thiouracil and catechol. In the presence of Cu(II) ions, the coordination of Cu2+ to catechol-terminated AuNPs leads to aggregation-induced changes of surface plasmon resonance. The cost-effective chemical sensor allows rapid, sensitive and selective detection of Cu2+ ions, indicating its potential application in environmental field.
