Abstract
|
A novel fluorescent chemosensor calix[4]arene L, containing two fluorogenic coumarin units at the lower rim has been synthesized via click reaction. The structure of this chemosensor, was characterized by IR, NMR spectra and elemental analysis. Ion-binding properties of L were investigated in acetonitrile with different metal ions and the recognition process was monitored by fluorescence, UV-Vis and 1H NMR spectral changes. In comparison with other metal ions, chemosensor L showed a specific selectivity toward copper ions . The Job plot analysis revealed that the binding between L with Cu2+ is in 1:1 stoichiometry. The association constant (Ka) for the complex L.Cu2+ was found to be 1.6 × 105 M−1. The limit of detection of the sensor L was determined to be 5.4 × 10−7 M. This sensitive and selective chemosensor was successfully applied for the detection of Cu2+ ions in human blood serum with 90–100% recovery.
