Abstract

The silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) complexed with curcumin (CUR) extracted from turmeric (TMR) were synthesized and applied for a simple and rapid colorimetric technique for Pb2+ detection. The results reveal that our low-cost and rapid AgNPs-CUR sensor is highly selective for Pb2+ ions with the detection limit of 13.6 mu M (2.8 mg.L-1) and can be applied for real water samples. Not only the observed absorption spectrum and the solution color can reveal the contamination of Pb2+ in the sample, but also an orange floccules precipitate can be clearly observed by naked-eye within 20 min. In addition, the results obtained from DFT calculation agree well with the experiments. Density functional theory (DFT), at the M06 level with mixed basis set of 6-31G(d) and def2-tzvp, was applied to propose the binding mechanism of AgNPs with CUR and AgNPs-CUR with Pb2+. Calculated binding energies of the compound of AgNPs with CUR and the AgNPs-CUR with Pb2+ are -145.8 and -361.4 kcal mol(-1), respectively, indicating that the AgNPs-CUR is strongly interact with Pb2+ ions through formation of highly stable Pb(2+)AgNPs-CUR complexes indicating the stable aggregative phenomena which agrees well with FTIR spectrum.
