The application of a G-quadruplex based assay with an iridium(iii) complex to arsenic ion detection and its utilization in a microfluidic chip

TLDR
The iridium(iii) complex 1 was synthesized and employed in constructing an assay which is based on a G-quadruplex for detecting arsenic ions in aqueous solution and showed high selectivity towards arsenic ions over other metal ions.
Abstract
In this work, the iridium(iii) complex 1 was synthesized and employed in constructing an assay which is based on a G-quadruplex for detecting arsenic ions in aqueous solution. The assay achieved a detection limit of 7.6 nM (ca. 0.57 μg L-1) and showed high selectivity towards arsenic ions over other metal ions. Additionally, the assay could function in natural water and a simple microfluidic chip was used to investigate the potential of this platform for real-time detection.
