A novel fluorescent sensor selectively detects copper(II) ions using spiropyran and zinc porphyrin. This method enhances sensitivity by converting absorption signals into fluorescence via an inner filter effect, enabling precise copper ion quantification.

Area of Science:

  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Materials Science
  • Chemical Sensing

Background:

  • Spiropyrans are versatile molecules for ion recognition, typically using UV-visible spectroscopy.
  • Converting absorption signals to fluorescence offers potential for enhanced sensitivity in chemical sensing.
  • Fluorescence inner filter effect (FIFE) can amplify analytical signals when spectral overlap occurs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To design and validate a highly selective fluorescent sensor for copper(II) ions.
  • To explore the conversion of spiropyran's absorption signal into a fluorescence signal using FIFE.
  • To immobilize sensing components in a membrane for practical application.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a spiropyran derivative and zinc meso-tetraphenylporphyrin as the sensing elements.

    • The sensor exhibited chemical reversibility, allowing for repeated use.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed sensor offers a sensitive and selective method for copper(II) ion detection.
    • The combination of spiropyran and porphyrin via FIFE provides an amplified analytical signal.
