Abstract: In this work, Mn-doped Zn S quantum dots( QDs) coated by molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) were synthesized with atrazine as template molecule. The prepared MIPs-coated QDs were characterized by fluorescence spectrophotometer,fourier transform infrared spectrometry and high-resolution transmission electron microscope. This probe has been used to detect atrazine in water samples. The effects of fluorescence stability,binding time,solvent p H and selective adsorption on fluorescence quenching were investigated. Under optimal conditions,this method can detect down to 0.0012 μmol/L of atrazine in water with a linear range of 0.1 ~ 100 μmol/L. The recoveries of atrazine were 89.4%,90.3% and 95.6% with relative standard deviations of 2.6%, 3.8% and 5.8% (n = 5) at three adding concentration (0.5,5 and 50 μmol/L). The studies provided a general strategy to combine molecular imprinting technique and quantum dots, which is simple, rapid and highly selective and pretty desirable for the detection of pesticides in water samples.
