Cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) capped 9-Anthraldehyde nanoparticles (9-AANPs) in aqueous suspension prepared by reprecipitation method are seen brick shaped in Scanning Electron Microscope image. The Dynamic Light Scattering histogram of nanoparticle suspension reveals narrow particle size distribution and average particle size is 89 nm. The positive zeta potential 20.8 mV measured on zeta sizer indicates high level stability of nanoparticle suspension. The blue shift of 65359.47 cm(-1) observed in the UV-Visible absorption spectrum of CTAB capped 9-AANPs from the absorption maximum of dilute solution of 9-Anthraldehyde (9-AA) in acetone is an indication of formation of H-bonded aggregates by pi stacking effect. The strong Aggregation Induced Enhanced Emission (AIEE) of CTAB capped 9-AANPs at 537 nm is selectively quenched with addition of phosphate anion solution. The fluorescence quenching results of the nanoparticle in aqueous solution fit into conventional Stern-Volmer relation in the range of phosphate ion concentration of 0-40 mu M. The possible mechanism of fluorescence quenching of nanoparticle is explained by considering adsorption of phosphate anion electrostatistically on positively charged surface of nanoparticle generated by CTAB cap. The Langmuir adsorption plot constructed for PO4 (3-) adsorption on the basis of fluorescence quenching results of CTAB capped 9-AANPs is linear. The estimated value of Langmuir constant (K) and Stern - Volmer constant (K-sv) are in close agreement within experimental limits. The sensing method of phosphate ion based on fluorescence quenching of 9-AANPs is applied successfully for quantification of phosphate from pharmaceutical tablet chloroquine phosphate and hence to determine the amount of chloroquine.
