A New Covalent Organic Framework of Dicyandiamide-Benzaldehyde Nanocatalytic Amplification SERS/RRS Aptamer Assay for Ultratrace Oxytetracycline with the Nanogold Indicator Reaction of Polyethylene Glycol 600.

In this paper, dicyandiamide (Dd) and p-benzaldehyde (Bd) were heated at 180 °C for 3 h to prepare a new type of stable covalent organic framework (COF) DdBd nanosol with high catalysis. It was characterized by molecular spectroscopy and electron microscopy. The study found that DdBd had a strong catalytic effect on the new indicator reaction of polyethylene glycol 600 (PEG600)-chloroauric acid to form gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). AuNPs have strong resonance Rayleigh scattering (RRS) activity, and in the presence of Victoria Blue B (VBB) molecular probes, they also have a strong surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) effect. Combined with a highly selective oxytetracycline (OTC) aptamer (Apt) reaction, new dual-mode scattering SERS/RRS methods were developed to quantitatively analyze ultratrace OTC. The linear range of RRS is 3.00 × 10-3 -6.00 × 10-2 nmol/L, the detection limit is 1.1 × 10-3 nmol/L, the linear range of SERS is 3.00 × 10-3-7.00 × 10-2 nmol/L, and the detection limit is 9.0 × 10-4 nmol/L. Using the SERS method to analyze OTC in soil samples, the relative standard deviation is 1.35-4.78%, and the recovery rate is 94.3-104.9%.
