Abstract: 

Polymethacrylic acid (PMAA) stabilized silver nanoclusters (AgNCs@PMAA) were prepared in one step using UV light irradiation. Based on the fluorescence quenching caused by the interaction of heptavalent manganese ions with AgNCs@PMAA, a highly sensitive method for detecting the heptavalent manganese ions was developed. The results show that when the reaction conditions are optimized, the prepared AgNCs@PMAA nanoclusters have a uniform small nanometer size and strong near-infrared luminescence. AgNCs@PMAA can be used as a highly sensitive fluorescent probe to detect heptavalent manganese ions. The probe shows excellent performance, the change in the fluorescence intensity of AgNCs@PMAA has a good linear dependence on the concentration of heptavalent manganese ions, and its linear range is 0.5 μg/ml-90 <$E mu>g/l; the minimum detection limit is 0.28 μg/ml. The fluorescent probe has good practical value and application prospects, and also provides a new approach and theoretical support for metal cation detection.
