Selective Interactions of Al(III) with Plasmonic AgNPs by Colorimetric, Kinetic, and Thermodynamic Studies.

ABSTRACT: In this paper, we report a simple, novel, and highly selective plasmonic nanoparticles (NPs)-based colorimetric nanoprobe for the detection of Al(III) ions in aqueous solution. 5-Hydroxy indole-2-carboxylic acid (5H-I2CA) was utilized as a reducing as well as capping agent for the preparation of silver nanoparticles (5H-I2CA@AgNPs). The interaction between Al(III) and AgNPs was determined by UV-vis absorption spectroscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and dynamic light scattering techniques. The absorption values (A _452-410) of the 5H-I2CA@AgNPs solution exhibited a linear correlation with Al(III) ion concentrations within the linear range of 0.1-50 nM. An outstanding selectivity toward Al(
