Abstract:
A 6',8'-di-tert-butyl-1-hydroxyethyl-3,3-dimethyl-indoline benzospiropyran L1 and its derivative L2 were synthesized and characterized. Chelation-enhanced appearswhen L1 with electron donating groups of 6', 8'-di-tert-butyl touch on benzospiropyran and affect the stability of cyanine structure. L1 exhibited high selectivity to Hg2+, Cr3+, Ag+ over other metal ions. While, there was no obvious interferences of coexist metal ions on Hg2+, Cr3+, Ag+ detection. The Hg2+, Cr+, Ag+ recognition of L1 not only could be achieved by means of fluorescense and absorption "turn-on" spectra but also an obvious color change from colorless to yellowish by naked-eyes. The binding of L1 to Ag+, Cr3+, Hg2+ are in 1 : 1 stoichometry and the detection limits are 7.435 8 x 10(-6), 6.126 8 x 10(-6), 3.452 4 x 10(-6) mol x L(-1). The sensing mechanism was also investigated from L2.

When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human eye.
