[Spectroscopic studies of interaction of brilliant cresyl blue and DNA].

The interaction of dye brilliant cresyl blue (BCB), which features a phenoxonium group, with hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrinl and DNA in aqueous solution was studied by spectroscopic methods. The experimental results indicate that BCB can be included into the hydrophobic cavity of HP-beta-CD to form an inclusion, a complex with a stability constant of 1.98 x 10(3) L x mol(-1).

Preparation of a novel fluorescence nanoparticles and its application in the determination of Hg(II).

The strong fluorescence 2-vinylnaphthalene and acrylic acid polymer nanoparticles have been prepared under ultrasonic radiation. Based on the fluorescence quenching of polymer by Hg(II), a method for the selective determination of Hg(II) was developed. The reaction conditions between Hg(II) and polymer were investigated in detail.

Using organic nanoparticle fluorescence to determine nitrite in water.

Organic fluorescence nanoparticles (1-aminopyrene nanoparticles) were prepared under ultrasonic radiation and used to determine nitrite. Such nanoparticles have a broad, continuous excitation spectrum, but they are also photochemically stable and water-soluble. Nitrite determination was based upon nitrite quenching the fluorescence of the nanoparticles due to a simple diazotization reaction; a simple and specific method.
