Abstract:
A novel lanthanide coordination polymer nanoparticle (LCPN)-based ternary complex was synthesized via the self-assembly of a terbium ion (Tb(3+)) with a nucleotide (GMP) and a mercury ion (Hg(2+)) in aqueous solution. The as-prepared LCPN-based ternary complex (Tb-GMP-Hg) can be applied to the development of time-resolved luminescence assays and oxidase-based biosensors.
