PG - 5340-5345 LID - 10.1021/acs.analchem.2c05459 [doi] AB - Discriminative detection between D(2)O and H(2)O is important for diverse fields but challenging due to their high similarity in chemical and physical properties. Current molecular sensors for D(2)O detection generally rely on the spectral change of fluorophores with suitable pK(a) in response to D(2)O and H(2)O with slightly different pH acidity. Herein, we report a new and facile D(2)O sensor by using singlet oxygen ((1)O(2))-relevant afterglow luminescence of chlorin e4 nanoparticles (Ce4-NPs) to achieve distinguishable detection between D(2)O and H(2)O. As (1)O(2) is a key initiator involved in the afterglow luminescence process, it displays a 22-fold longer lifetime in D(2)O relative to H(2)O and thereafter generates more dioxetane intermediates after laser irradiation to lead to ultimate afterglow brightness of Ce4-NPs in D(2)O. In addition, Ce4-NPs are capable of quantitatively detecting the amount of H(2)O in D(2)O with a limit of detection (LOD) of 1.45%. Together, this study broadens the utility of afterglow materials and presents a facile strategy for isotopic purity analysis of heavy water.
