Abstract:
We have constructed a new coumarin based fluorescence probe BENZPYR with ICT character through condensation of N, N-diethylamino-3-acetyl coumarin with 2-hydrazinobenzothiazole. The absorbance and fluorescence spectral characteristics of BENZPYR revealed that the chemosensor can specifically detect for Cu2+ ions over other different metal ions and the lowest limit of detection was found in nano molar range. The turn off sensor of BENZPYR is related to chelation enhanced quenching (CHEQ) and intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) processes were serve as excellent fluorescent detection of Cu2+ ions in DMF medium. Fluorescence microscopy experiments revealed that probe BENZPYR may have application as a fluorophore to detect the Cu2+ in living cells. The simulated DFT analysis of electronic and structural properties and also UV-vis absorption spectra are in well accordance with the experimental UV-vis absorption spectra.

Ions as Acids and Bases
Salts are ionic compounds composed of cations and anions, either of which may be capable of undergoing an acid or base ionization reaction with water. Aqueous salt solutions, therefore, may be acidic, basic, or neutral, depending on the relative acid-base strengths of the salt’s constituent ions. For example, dissolving the ammonium chloride in water results in its dissociation, as described by the equation:

Lewis Acids and Bases
A coordinate covalent bond (or dative bond) occurs when one of the atoms in the bond provides both bonding electrons. For example, a coordinate covalent bond occurs when a water molecule combines with a hydrogen ion to form a hydronium ion. A coordinate covalent bond also results when...
