Materials. All chemicals were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich, Alfa Aesar, Aladdin, and Beijing chem. Reagents Co. (Beijing, China) and were used as received. Water-soluble polythiophene derivative ( ) were synthesized and purified as reported previously. S1 Sample preparation. The stock solution of paraquat, diquat and PMTEMNa2 were prepared in pure water. The stock solution of other pesticides was initially dissolved in methanol to a relatively high concentration, which was later diluted at least 2-fold with water. Stock solutions of paraquat and PMTPS were mixed directly to give a mixture with the desired concentration and then measured by UV-visible spectrometer immediately. Control experiments for addressing the selectivity of the sensor toward paraquat and diquat were carried out under the identical conditions. For real sample preparation, 1. g vegetable samples which were purchased from supermarket were mashed and dissolved in 1 ml water. After ultrasonic extraction, the mixture was centrifuged and then filtered through a ultrafiltration membrane (MWCO 3). To avoid the influence of low ph values and some metal ions in certain vegetables, the filtrate was diluted by 2 mm phosphate buffer (ph 7.) containing 2. mm EDTA. S1
This journal is The Royal Society of Chemistry 213 The following detection procedures for these samples spiked with varying levels of paraquat were similar to those conducted in water stated above. Spectral measurements. Absorption and emission spectra were collected by using a HITACHI U-39 UV-VIS spectrophotometer and a HORIBA Scientific Fluorolog -3 spectrofluorometer, respectively. 1 H-NMR spectra were carried out on a Bruker DPX3 spectrometer and a JNM-ECA6 spectrometer, respectively. The photographs of the sensing solution color change were taken using a camera (Nikon). ph = 6. ph = 7. ph = 8. ph = 9. ph = 1 ph = 12.
