It is a significant issue to overcome the concentration-quenching effect of the small fluorescent probes and maintain the high fluorescent efficiency at high concentration for sensitive and selective fluorescent mark or detection. We developed a new strategy to 鈥渋solate鈥?and 鈥渇asten鈥?porphyrin moieties in a highly cross-linked poly(tetraphenylporphyrin-co-cyclotriphosphazene) (TPP鈥揚ZS) by the polycondensation of hexachlorocyclotriphosphazene (HCCP) and 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-hydroxyphenyl)porphyrin (TPP-(OH)4) in a suitable solvent. The resulting TPP鈥揚ZS particles were characterized with transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), 31P nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and ultraviolet and visible (UV鈥搗is) absorption spectra. Remarkably, TPP鈥揚ZS particles obtained in acetone emitted a bright red fluorescence both in powder state and in solution because the aggregation of porphyrin moieties in 鈥淗-type鈥?(face-to-face) and 鈥淛-type鈥?(edge-to-edge) was effectively blocked. The fluorescent TPP鈥揚ZS particles also showed superior resistance to photobleaching, and had a high sensitivity and selectivity for the detection of Hg2+ ions. The TPP鈥揚ZS particles were therefore used as an ideal material for preparing test strips to quickly detect/monitor the Hg2+ ions in a facile way.
