The detection of 2,6-pyridinecarboxylic acid (DPA), as a biomarker of Bacillus anthracis, has attracted wide attention. In previous reports of DPA detection, fluorescent probes may not have high specificity. Therefore, the rational design and development of fluorescent sensors with excellent performance is of great significance for the detection of DPA.

In certain cases, ATP can serve as a biomarker in bladder disease. For the practical applicability of luminescent sensors for ATP in urine, it is significant to find a new strategy for making the detection progress simple and available for in-field urine analysis.

In this study, we report a one-way conversion process of the anionic [AgAuL] nanocluster into a charge neutral nanocluster of [AgAuL] via oxidation in a solution phase using HO as the oxidant. Three-electron loss of [AgAuL] occurred during the oxidation process, which was confirmed by electron paramagnetic resonance and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry methods.
