Anion sensing properties of new colorimetric chemosensors based on macrocyclic ligands bearing three nitrophenylurea groups
摘要:
Two new colorimetric ligands (1-2) based on macrocyclic structures linked to three nitrophenylurea groups were synthesized in good yields and their responses toward anions were studied Anions with different shape such as of fluoride chloride bromide iodide hydroxide nitrate perclhorate cyanide or dihydrogen phosphate in DMSO solution were added and only fluoride hydroxide cyanide and dihydrogen phosphate enhances pi delocalization and shifts the pi-pi transition in both ligands leading to the generation of a pleasant orange color The result is a balance between the acidity of the nitrophenylurea-NH donors modulated by the basic character of the anions Stability constants for both receptors and the anions fluoride hydroxide cyanide and dihydrogen phosphate were determined spectrophotometrically using the program HYSPEC H-1 NMR titrations experiments with fluoride were carried out (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd All rights reserved
Novel emissive phenylurea-based macrocyclic chemosensor: Synthesis, fluorescent and complexation studies
摘要:
A new emissive macrocycle ligand bearing three phenylurea groups (L-1) has been synthesized and fully characterised. Several mononuclear complexes with nitrate, perchlorate and tetrafluoroborate salts of transition and post-transition metals (Cu2+, Ni2+, Co2+, Zn2+ and Cd2+) were synthesized and characterized. For comparative purposes, the coordination ability of two nonfluorescent macrocyclic ligands (L-2 and L-3) containing three nitrophenylurea pendant-arms towards the same metal ions were studied. The interaction with transition and post-transition metal ions, and anions was explored in solution by UV-Vis and emission spectroscopy with ligand L-1. All new compounds were characterised by microanalysis, IR, UV-Vis and fluorescence emission, FAB and ESI mass spectrometry and conductivity measurements. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
