Summary

Ternary systems with transition metals act as pH indicators. Copper(II) systems show unique "on-off-on" fluorescence, while Nickel(II) systems exhibit "on-off" fluorescence, enabling distinct pH sensing applications.

  • pH-fluorimetric titrations to analyze fluorescence variations.
  • Utilized a water-dioxane mixture (1:4 v/v) for optimal system stability.

    • Main Results:

    • Observed distinct fluorescence responses to pH changes for different metal ions.
    • Copper(II) systems displayed an "on-off-on" fluorescence profile.
    • Nickel(II) systems exhibited a conventional "on-off" fluorescence profile.
    • Demonstrated the formation of ternary complexes involving the ligand, metal cation, and indicator.

    Conclusions:

    • The studied ternary systems function effectively as pH indicators.
    • The choice of transition metal (Cu2+ or Ni2+) dictates the indicator's response profile.
    • These systems offer versatile platforms for developing selective and sensitive pH sensors.
