Description

Optical sensor for the detennination of cations The invention relates to a sensor for the oplical determination of cations from the group consisting of metal and ammonium cations (referred to as cations below) in aqueous samples by the fluorescence method, which sensor contains certain highly basic dyes from the group consis~ing of rhodamines and acridines as fluolophores in the acdve coating, and to a process for the qualitative or quantitative deterrnination of cations, in particular in aqueous solutions, using the optical sensor. The invention furthermore relates to certain acridines and rhodamines and to the use thereof as fluorophores in sensors for the optical determination of cations in aqueous samples.
The optical determination of metal cations has recendy achieved increased impo~tance, - -the presence or concentration of metal cations being measured, for example, via the change in absorption or fluorescence of a suitable dye. The sensors known as optrodes -generally comprise transparent support material and an active coating. This active coating generally contains a transparent hydrophobic polymer and a lipophilic plasticizer for achieving adequate ion diffusion and solubility of the active consdtuents. The acdve constituents are a specific ionophore as complexing agent for metal cations, a lipophilic salt as counterion for maintaining electrical neutra1ity, and an indicator substanse which, due to a chemical change or a physical change in the environment, generates a measurable optical signal.
US-A-4 645 744 describes systems of this type in which ihe indicator substance is a neutral compound, for example a dye (p-nitrophenol), which interacts with an ionophore/metal cation complex, causing a colour change as the optically measurable signal. The interaction can cause, ~or example, the elimination of a proton from the dye, causing a change in the electron state. Suitable compounds include fluorescing compounds (for example fluorescein), whose fluorescence changes due to the change in the electron state and can be determined optically by means of fluorescence measurements.
H. He et al. in Chemical, Biochemical and Environmental Fiber Sensors II, SPIE Vol.
l368, pages 165 to 174 ~1990), describe systems containing a proton canier (Nile Blue) as .3 '~ 4 (~
indicator substance, in which the lransport of potassium into the active coating by means of valinomycin as ionophore causes dissociation of the proton carrier and diffusion of a proton into the aqueous phase. The proton carrier changes its colour from blue to red and, depending on the choice of wave1ength, either the reduction in fluorescencc of the b1ue dye or the corresponding increase in the fluorescence of the red dye can be determined.
Due to the higher sensitivity and selectivity, measurement of the fluorescence is preferred.
A significant disadvantage of the process is the low sensidvity of the system, due to the low fluorescence quantum yield of the indicator dye used.
. ~. ..
J.N. Roe in Analyst, Vol. 1 lS, pages 353 to 358 (1990), describes a system based on energy transfer due to complex formadon of the fluorescence dye used with the anionic ~ - -form of a certain indonaphthol, which itself forms a ternary complex with the potassium-charged ionophore. The potassium is determined by measuring the change in absorpdon after charging with potassium or from the change in fluorescence. The sensidvity and response speeds of this system are regarded as unsadsfactory.
Y. Kawabata in Anal. Chem. Vol. 62, pages 1528-1531 and 2054 to 2055, describes a membrane system for the optical determinadon of potassium using a hydrophobic ion exchanger, namely 3,6-bis(dimethylamino)-10-dodecyl- or -10-hexadecylacridinium ~ -bromide. A change in fluorescence is achieved by changing the polarity in the microenvironment of the sample, since the acridinium salts diffuse at the interface with ~ ~ -the aqueous phase due to ion exchange with the potassium ion.
W.E. Morf et al. in Pure ~ Appl. Chem., Vol. 61, No. 9, pages 1613 to 1618 (1989), describe the use of pH-sensitdve chtomo- or fluoroionopho~es for the optical determination of cadons based on ion exchange reacdons. The sensitivity of these systems is reladvely low, the measurement is hindered in optical1y dense systems, and relatively highconcentrations of chromo- or fluoroionophores in the membrane are required.
K. Wang et al. in Analytical Science, Vol. 6, pages 715 to 720 (1990), describe membranes containing an absorption dye (Nile Blue) as indicator substance for the opdcal measurement of metal cations. The system is based on an ion exchange mechanism which reduces the absorpdon by protonadon of the dye. The sensitivity of the system is regarded as too low.
Hitherto, no systems having an ion exchange mechanism for the optical measurement of 21~984~
` , .
metal cations has been disclosed which are based on the determination of the reduction in fluorescence of a fluorophore and have high sensitivity, since the fluorescence quantum yields and basicities of the known pH-sensidve fluorophores are too low.
It has now been found that certain acridine dyes and rhodlamine dyes surprisingly satisfy these high requirements and are lipophilic, pH-sensitive and highly basic fluorophorcs which are highly suitable, in a neutral polymer membrane together with an ionophore and a lipophilic salt of a borate, for the determination of metal cations, in pardcular potassium, by the ion exchange mechanism and have a fluorescence which is highly dependent on the corresponding metal cadon concentradons. These fluorophores are disdnguished by a high fluorescence quantum yield, high basicity, a large difference between the fluorescence signals of the protonated and deprotonated forms, high lipophilicity, adequate photostability and suitable absorption and emission wavelengths. Highly sensidve systems for the optical determination of metal cations on the basis of ~uorescence measurements can be provided.
The invention relates to compounds of the formulae I and II -R1R2N~NHR3 (I), -R4R5N~o~NR6 ~ ' ' (II), - --in which Rl and R3, and R4 and R~ are Cl-C30a1kyl or C1-C30alkyl-CO-, and R2 and Rs are H or Cl-C30alkyl, with the proviso that the total number of carbon atoms in the alkyl groups is at least 12, and salts thereof with inorganic or organic acids.
In a preferred embodiment, R2 is H. ~ ~ ~
" ~ :
' :
The a1kyl groups can be linear or branched and preferably contain 1 to 22 carbon atoms.
Linear alkyl groups are prcferred. Examples of a1kyl are methyl, ethyl and the isomers of propyl, butyl, pentyl, hexyl, heptyl, octyl, nonyl, decyl, undecyl, dodecyl, tridecyl, tetradecyl, pentadecyl, hexadecyl, heptadecyl, octadecyl, nonadecyl, eicosyl, heneicosyl, docosyl, tricosyl, tetracosyl and triacontyl. In a preferred embodiment, Rl and R3 are C6-C24alkyl or C6-C24alkyl-C0-, particu1arly preferably C~0-C24alkyl or C10-C24alkyl-CO-, especially prefcrably Cl4-C22alkyl or Cl4-C22alkyl-C0-, while R2 is H.
In another embodiment, R5 is preferably H, and R4 and R6 are preferably C6-C24alky1, particularly preferably C1O-C24alkyl, especially preferably Cl4-C22alkyl. In a fur~her embodiment, R4 and Rs are preferably Cl-C6alkyl, particularly preferably Cl-4alkyl, especially preferably methyl or ethyl, and R6 is C10-C24alkyl or C10-C24aL~cyl-C~, - -preferably Cl4-C22alkyl or C14-C22alkyl-C0-, especially preferably Cl6-C22alkyl or Cl6-C22alkyl-C0-.
The salts of the compounds of the formulae I and II can be derived, for example, from HF, HCI, HBr, HI, H2SO3, H2SO4, H3P03, H3P04, HNO2, HN03, HCI04, HBF4, HPF6, HSbF6, CF3S03H, toluenesulfonic acid, Cl-C4alkyl- or phenylphosphonic acid, formic acid, acedc acid, propionic acid, benzoic acid, mono-, di- or trichloroacedc acid, or ~-mono-, di- or trifluoroacetic acid. ~reference is given to HCI, HBr, H2S04, HCl04, HBF4, HPF6 and HSbF6-The compounds of the formula I can be prepared in a manner known per se from commercial 3,~diaminoacridine by stepwise alkylation by means of various alkyladng agents or alkyladon using one alkyladng agent or acylating agent. Examples of suitable alkyladng agents are dialkyl sulfates or monohaloalkanes, in pardcular chloro, bromo-and iodoalkanes. Examples of suitable acyladng agents are carboxylic anhydrides and in particular carboxylic acid halides, for example carboxylic acid chlorides. This reacdon can be carried out in the presence of inert polar and aprotic so1vents, for example ethers, !
alkylated acid amides and lactams, sulfones or sulfoxides, and at elevated temperatures, for example from 50 to 150C. It is expedient to add a halogen scavenger, for example - -alkali metal carbonates. ;
The compounds of the formula II can be obtained, for example, by reacting phthalic anhydride with 2 mol equivalents of 2-monoalkylaminophenol. Another possible preparation comprises reacdng 2-monoalkylaminophenol with I mol equivalent of 2-hydroxy-4-dialkylamino-2'-caboxybenzophenone. These reactions are described, for 8~

Particular preference is given to polyvinyl chloride.
It is advantageous to incorporate a plasticizer into the polymers in order to optimize the diffusion coefficients of the membrane components for ion exchange. Depending on the type of po1ymer and plasticizer, ~rom 10 to 90 % by weight, preferably from 20 to 70 % by weight, particularly preferably from 20 to 50 % by weight, of polymer and from 90 to 10 % by weight, preferably from 80 to 30 % by weight, in particular from 8~ to 50 % by weight, of plasticizer may be present.

9~0 Examples of suitable salts with lipophilic anions are alkali metal, alkaline earth metal and ammonium salts with substituted or unsubstituted tetraphenylborates. Preferred cations are Li~E3, Na~, K~3, Mg233, Ca2~, NH4~, and the ammonium cations of primary, secondary and tertiary amines and quaternary ammonium cations which can contain from 1 to 60 carbon atoms. Some examples of ammonium cations are methyl-, ethyl-, propyl-, butyl-, hexyl-, octyl-, decyl-, dodecyl-, tetradecyl-, hexadecyl-, octadecyl-, dimethyl-, diethyl-, dibutyl-, butylmethyl-, dioctyl-, didoceyl-, dodecylmethyl-, trimethyl-, triethyl-, tripropyl-, tributyl-, trioctyl-, tridodecyl-, dodecyldimethyl-, didodecylmethyl-, tetramethyl-, tetraethyl-, tetrapropyl-, tetrabutyl-, tetrahexyl-, tetraoctyl-, tetradecyl~, tetradodecyl-, dodecyltrimethyl-, octyltrimethyl-, didodecyldimethyl-, tridodecylmethyl-, tetradecyltrimethyl- and octadecyltrimethylammonium.

The amount of salts with lipophilic anions can be, for example, from 0.01 to 10 % by weight, preferably from 0.1 to 5 % by weight, particularly preferably from 0.1 to 2 % by weight, based on the amount of polymer and plasticizer.

The amount of compounds of the formulae I and II can be, for example, from 0.01 to 10 %
by weight, preferably from 0.1 to 5 % by weight, particularly preferably from 0.1 to 2 %
by weight, based on the amount of polymer and plasticizer. The compounds of the formulae I and II can also be bonded to the polymers via suitable bridging groups.
The fluorophores to be used according to the invention have very suitable absorption and emission wavelength ranges which allow the use of known and inexpensive light sources and detectors, for example halogen or xenon lamps or light-emitting diodes. Examples of detectors which can be employed are photodiodes. The fluorophores furthermore have ~ -high absorption coefficients and high quantum yields can be achieved. The high lipophilicity, high basicity and the large dynamic range of the change in fluorescence --between the protonated and deprotonated forms satisfy, in particular, the high requirements for opdcal determination of cations based on fluorescence measurements.
Examples of suitable cations are metal cations of metals from the first to fifth main groups and the ~Irst to eighth sub-groups of the Periodic Table of the Elements, the lanthanides and actinides. Some examples of metals are Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, B, Al, Ga, In,Tl,Sn,Pb,Sb,Bi,Cu,Ag,Au,Zn,Cd,Hg,Sc,Y,Ti,Zr,Hf,Cr,Mo,W,Mn,Fe,Co, Ni, Ru, Os, Rh, Ir, Pt, Pd, La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Pm, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Yb, Lu, Ac, Th, Pa, U, Np and Pu.

Examples of ammonium cations are NH4~ and the cations of protonated primary, secondary and tertiary amines and quaternary ammonium. The amines can contain from 1 to 40, preferably from 1 to 20, particularly preferably from 1 to 12, carbon asoms. The quaternary ammonium can contain from 4 to 40, preferably from 4 to 20, particularly preferably from 4 to 16, carbon atoms.
The composition according to the invention is highly suitable as an optical sensor for the quansitative determination of cations, in particular metal cations, very particularly potassium cations, in an aqueous environment, preferably by means of fluorescence spectrometry. The determinations can be carried out quickly with high accuracy even for ~1 ~9840 low concentrations (for example in the micromolar range to the nanomolar range), since the pH-dependent equilibria of the complexing reactions and of proton exchange become established quick1y and the fluorophores are characterized by a high fluorescence quantum yield and sensidvity. The analyses can be carried out, for examp1e, directly in body fluids (blood, urine, serum), natural water or waste water, where it may be possible for any interfering cadons to be specifically bound or removed in advance. The composition according to the invention is particularly suitable for the determination of physiological amounts, for example in the range from QS to 10 mmol, of cadons in aqueous mcdia.
In addition to the preferred method of fluorescence spectroscopy, otha opdcal ~ -measurement methods may also be used, for example surface plasmoresonance - ~ -~
spectroscopy, absorption spectroscopy, refle tion spectroscopy, interferometry or surface-amplified Raman or fluorescence spectroscopy~
The invention further nore relates to an opdcal sensor for tho determinadon of cations in --aqueous measurement samples, in particular by means of fluorescence sp~ctrometry, whichcomprises ;;

The invendon furthermore relates to a method for the opdcal determinatdon of catdons in aqueous measurement samples, in which a composition according to the invention is - ~ -brought into contact with said aqueous measurement sample, and then, in particular, the reducdon in fluorescence in the acdve polymer coatdng is measured. '~
', The invendon furthermore relates to the use of the compounds of the formulae I and II as -fluorophores for the opdcal determinadon of cations in aqueous measurement samples.
The process according to the inventdon can be carried out, for example, by immobilizing the composition according to the invention comprising support and acdve polymer coating in an optical cell in which the active coating is brought into contact with the measurement ~ -sample. The optical cell furthermore contains a window through which the active coating can be excited by irradiation and the emitted fluorescence radiation can be measured by means of a spectrophotometer. The wavelengths are adjusted so that the absorption is at a maximum for the irradiadon and the emission is at a maximum for the fluorcscencemeasurement. The decrease in intensity as a function of time is measured. Thc measurement system can be designed so that the measurement is carried out discontinuously or continuously, for exarnple by pumping the measurement soludonthrough the measurement cell. In order to determine unknown concentratdons of cations, the system is first calibrated by means of moasurement samples of known concentratdon, -and the concentradons are plotted as a function of the fluorescence intensity. It is expedient to add pH buffers to the measurement sample, since the sensitivity of the measurement, and consequently also the fluorescence intensity of the fluorophore, ~;
depends on the pH of the measurement soludon due to the pH-dependence of the absorptdon spectrum. The pH range of the measurement sample can be, for example, from 4 to 8, more preferably from 5.5 to 6.5. Examples of suitable buffers are citrate buffers and phosphate buffers. Further buffer systems are described in US-A-4 645 744, in pardcular including those which are incorporated direcdy into the acdve coating in ordér to avoid -additdon to the measurement sample.

Optical sensor for the detennination of cations The invention relates to a sensor for the oplical determination of cations from the group consisting of metal and ammonium cations (referred to as cations below) in aqueous samples by the fluorescence method, which sensor contains certain highly basic dyes from the group consis~ing of rhodamines and acridines as fluolophores in the acdve coating, and to a process for the qualitative or quantitative deterrnination of cations, in particular in aqueous solutions, using the optical sensor. The invention furthermore relates to certain acridines and rhodamines and to the use thereof as fluorophores in sensors for the optical determination of cations in aqueous samples.
The optical determination of metal cations has recendy achieved increased impo~tance, - -the presence or concentration of metal cations being measured, for example, via the change in absorption or fluorescence of a suitable dye. The sensors known as optrodes -generally comprise transparent support material and an active coating. This active coating generally contains a transparent hydrophobic polymer and a lipophilic plasticizer for achieving adequate ion diffusion and solubility of the active consdtuents. The acdve constituents are a specific ionophore as complexing agent for metal cations, a lipophilic salt as counterion for maintaining electrical neutra1ity, and an indicator substanse which, due to a chemical change or a physical change in the environment, generates a measurable optical signal.
US-A-4 645 744 describes systems of this type in which ihe indicator substance is a neutral compound, for example a dye (p-nitrophenol), which interacts with an ionophore/metal cation complex, causing a colour change as the optically measurable signal. The interaction can cause, ~or example, the elimination of a proton from the dye, causing a change in the electron state. Suitable compounds include fluorescing compounds (for example fluorescein), whose fluorescence changes due to the change in the electron state and can be determined optically by means of fluorescence measurements.

indicator substance, in which the lransport of potassium into the active coating by means of valinomycin as ionophore causes dissociation of the proton carrier and diffusion of a proton into the aqueous phase. The proton carrier changes its colour from blue to red and, depending on the choice of wave1ength, either the reduction in fluorescencc of the b1ue dye or the corresponding increase in the fluorescence of the red dye can be determined.
Due to the higher sensitivity and selectivity, measurement of the fluorescence is preferred.
A significant disadvantage of the process is the low sensidvity of the system, due to the low fluorescence quantum yield of the indicator dye used.

J.N. Roe in Analyst, Vol. 1 lS, pages 353 to 358 (1990), describes a system based on energy transfer due to complex formadon of the fluorescence dye used with the anionic ~ - -form of a certain indonaphthol, which itself forms a ternary complex with the potassium-charged ionophore. The potassium is determined by measuring the change in absorpdon after charging with potassium or from the change in fluorescence. The sensidvity and response speeds of this system are regarded as unsadsfactory.
Y. Kawabata in Anal. Chem. Vol. 62, pages 1528-1531 and 2054 to 2055, describes a membrane system for the optical determinadon of potassium using a hydrophobic ion exchanger, namely 3,6-bis(dimethylamino)-10-dodecyl- or -10-hexadecylacridinium ~ -bromide. A change in fluorescence is achieved by changing the polarity in the microenvironment of the sample, since the acridinium salts diffuse at the interface with ~ ~ -the aqueous phase due to ion exchange with the potassium ion.
W.E. Morf et al. in Pure ~ Appl. Chem., Vol. 61, No. 9, pages 1613 to 1618 (1989), describe the use of pH-sensitdve chtomo- or fluoroionopho~es for the optical determination of cadons based on ion exchange reacdons. The sensitivity of these systems is reladvely low, the measurement is hindered in optical1y dense systems, and relatively highconcentrations of chromo- or fluoroionophores in the membrane are required.
K. Wang et al. in Analytical Science, Vol. 6, pages 715 to 720 (1990), describe membranes containing an absorption dye (Nile Blue) as indicator substance for the opdcal measurement of metal cations. The system is based on an ion exchange mechanism which reduces the absorpdon by protonadon of the dye. The sensitivity of the system is regarded as too low.
Hitherto, no systems having an ion exchange mechanism for the optical measurement of 21~984~
` , .
metal cations has been disclosed which are based on the determination of the reduction in fluorescence of a fluorophore and have high sensitivity, since the fluorescence quantum yields and basicities of the known pH-sensidve fluorophores are too low.
It has now been found that certain acridine dyes and rhodlamine dyes surprisingly satisfy these high requirements and are lipophilic, pH-sensitive and highly basic fluorophorcs which are highly suitable, in a neutral polymer membrane together with an ionophore and a lipophilic salt of a borate, for the determination of metal cations, in pardcular potassium, by the ion exchange mechanism and have a fluorescence which is highly dependent on the corresponding metal cadon concentradons. These fluorophores are disdnguished by a high fluorescence quantum yield, high basicity, a large difference between the fluorescence signals of the protonated and deprotonated forms, high lipophilicity, adequate photostability and suitable absorption and emission wavelengths. Highly sensidve systems for the optical determination of metal cations on the basis of ~uorescence measurements can be provided.

Some examples of ammonium cations are methyl-, ethyl-, propyl-, butyl-, hexyl-, octyl-, decyl-, dodecyl-, tetradecyl-, hexadecyl-, octadecyl-, dimethyl-, diethyl-, dibutyl-, butylmethyl-, dioctyl-, didoceyl-, dodecylmethyl-, trimethyl-, triethyl-, tripropyl-, tributyl-, trioctyl-, tridodecyl-, dodecyldimethyl-, didodecylmethyl-, tetramethyl-, tetraethyl-, tetrapropyl-, tetrabutyl-, tetrahexyl-, tetraoctyl-, tetradecyl~, tetradodecyl-, dodecyltrimethyl-, octyltrimethyl-, didodecyldimethyl-, tridodecylmethyl-, tetradecyltrimethyl- and octadecyltrimethylammonium.

The fluorophores to be used according to the invention have very suitable absorption and emission wavelength ranges which allow the use of known and inexpensive light sources and detectors, for example halogen or xenon lamps or light-emitting diodes. Examples of detectors which can be employed are photodiodes. The fluorophores furthermore have ~ -high absorption coefficients and high quantum yields can be achieved. The high lipophilicity, high basicity and the large dynamic range of the change in fluorescence --between the protonated and deprotonated forms satisfy, in particular, the high requirements for opdcal determination of cations based on fluorescence measurements.
Examples of suitable cations are metal cations of metals from the first to fifth main groups and the ~Irst to eighth sub-groups of the Periodic Table of the Elements, the lanthanides and actinides. Some examples of metals are Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, B, Al, Ga, In,Tl,Sn,Pb,Sb,Bi,Cu,Ag,Au,Zn,Cd,Hg,Sc,Y,Ti,Zr,Hf,Cr,Mo,W,Mn,Fe,Co, Ni, Ru, Os, Rh, Ir, Pt, Pd, La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Pm, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Yb, Lu, Ac, Th, Pa, U, Np and Pu.

The composition according to the invention is highly suitable as an optical sensor for the quansitative determination of cations, in particular metal cations, very particularly potassium cations, in an aqueous environment, preferably by means of fluorescence spectrometry. The determinations can be carried out quickly with high accuracy even for ~1 ~9840 low concentrations (for example in the micromolar range to the nanomolar range), since the pH-dependent equilibria of the complexing reactions and of proton exchange become established quick1y and the fluorophores are characterized by a high fluorescence quantum yield and sensidvity. The analyses can be carried out, for examp1e, directly in body fluids (blood, urine, serum), natural water or waste water, where it may be possible for any interfering cadons to be specifically bound or removed in advance. The composition according to the invention is particularly suitable for the determination of physiological amounts, for example in the range from QS to 10 mmol, of cadons in aqueous mcdia.
In addition to the preferred method of fluorescence spectroscopy, otha opdcal ~ -measurement methods may also be used, for example surface plasmoresonance - ~ -~

'~
', The invendon furthermore relates to the use of the compounds of the formulae I and II as -fluorophores for the opdcal determinadon of cations in aqueous measurement samples.
The process according to the inventdon can be carried out, for example, by immobilizing the composition according to the invention comprising support and acdve polymer coating in an optical cell in which the active coating is brought into contact with the measurement ~ -sample. The optical cell furthermore contains a window through which the active coating can be excited by irradiation and the emitted fluorescence radiation can be measured by means of a spectrophotometer. The wavelengths are adjusted so that the absorption is at a maximum for the irradiadon and the emission is at a maximum for the fluorcscencemeasurement. The decrease in intensity as a function of time is measured. Thc measurement system can be designed so that the measurement is carried out discontinuously or continuously, for exarnple by pumping the measurement soludonthrough the measurement cell. In order to determine unknown concentratdons of cations, the system is first calibrated by means of moasurement samples of known concentratdon, -and the concentradons are plotted as a function of the fluorescence intensity. It is expedient to add pH buffers to the measurement sample, since the sensitivity of the measurement, and consequently also the fluorescence intensity of the fluorophore, ~;
depends on the pH of the measurement soludon due to the pH-dependence of the absorptdon spectrum. The pH range of the measurement sample can be, for example, from 4 to 8, more preferably from 5.5 to 6.5. Examples of suitable buffers are citrate buffers and phosphate buffers. Further buffer systems are described in US-A-4 645 744, in pardcular including those which are incorporated direcdy into the acdve coating in ordér to avoid -additdon to the measurement sample.
