PG - 124964 LID - S0039-9140(23)00715-4 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.talanta.2023.124964 [doi] AB - Most of covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are non or weakly emissive due to either the molecular thermal motion-mediated energy dissipation or the aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) effect. Herein, we synthesize an imine-linked COF (TFPPy-TPh-COF) with high electrochemiluminescence (ECL) emission and the capability of eliminating the ACQ effect and further construct an ECL sensor for malathion detection. The imine-linked COF is obtained by the condensation reaction of (1,1':3',1''-terphenyl)-4,4''-diamine (TPh) and 1,3,6,8-tetrakis(p-formylphenyl)pyrene (TFPPy), and it has higher ECL efficiency than TFPPy aggregates due to the separation of ACQ luminophores (i.e., TFPPy) from each other by TPh and the restriction of intramolecular motions of TFPPy and TPh to reduce the nonradiative decay. The efficient quenching of ECL is achieved by electrochemiluminescence resonance energy transfer (ERET) from the excited state of the TFPPy-TPh-COF to zeolite imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) and the steric hindrance of ZIF-8. Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) can enzymatically hydrolyze acetylcholine (ACh) to generate acetic acid. The resultant acetic acid can trigger the dissolution of ZIF-8 to produce an enhanced ECL signal. Malathion as an organophosphorus pesticide serves as an AChE inhibitor to prevent the production of acetic acid, inducing the decrease of ECL signal. This sensor displays a limit of detection (LOD) of 2.44 pg/mL and a wide dynamic detection range of 0.01-1000 ng/mL. Furthermore, it can be used to detect other organophosphates pesticides (e.g., methidathion, chlorpyrifos, and paraoxon) and measure malathion in real samples (i.e., pakchoi, lettuce, and apples).
