Metal ions are physiologically essential, but excessive metal ions may cause severe risk to plants and animals. Here, we prepared gold nanoclusters (Au NCs) protected by 11-mercaptoundecanoic acid (11-MUA), which have excellent fluorescence properties for the detection of metal ions. The results showed that the copper ions (Cu²⁺) and iron ions (Fe³⁺) in the solution have obvious quenching effect on the fluorescence intensity of Au NCs. The detection range of Fe³⁺ was 0.8-4.5 mmol/L (R²=0.992) and 4.5-11.0 μmol/L (R²=0.997). And Cu²⁺ has a lower linear range (0.1-1.0 μmol/L, R²=0.993). When EDTA was added into the reaction system, it was observed that the quenching effect of Cu²⁺ and Fe³⁺ on Au NCs showed different phenomenon. Then, the effect of metal ions on the fluorescence of Au NCs was investigated. The selective detection of Cu²⁺ was achieved by EDTA masking of Fe³⁺. In addition, we realized the metal ions detection application of Au NCs in the serum
