The Metallacrowns (MCs) composed of repeated [Metal-N-O] subunits are a type of new material, but the MCs have not been developed and utilized in analytical applications. This essay reports on a new kind of terbium(III)-based Metallacrowns (Tb-MCs) with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) feature to build a sensing platform. It is first time that Tb-MCs are able to aggregate to larger aggregates in water along with a bright green emission, so that the property makes it possible to apply in biosensing. Thereafter, the AIE of Tb-MCs can be quenched effectively by Cu2+. Based on the high affinity of thiol to Cu2+, cysteine (Cys) recovers the fluorescence of Tb-MCs in the presence of Cu2+. There is a good linear range varying from 0.02 to 20 mu M with a low limit of detection (LOD) 9.67 nM of Cys. In the end, this novel probe is also successfully applied to the determination of Cys in human serum with satisfactory results. (C) 2022 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
