Abstract:
A series of new chemosensor molecules bearing benzothiazole-, quinoline- and phthalazine-functionalized fluorene derivatives were synthesized and their complexation behaviors with Fe3+ and Sn2+ ions were investigated. The sensing abilities of their complexes towards both cyanide and sulfide anions were investigated by colorimetric and fluorometric techniques in detail. The sensing mechanism was investigated by Job's and Scatchard plots evaluations, and also absorption/fluorescence titration experiments. Among the studied dye/metal binary systems, F-BT sensor to Fe3+ giving the detection limits of 3.1 µg has also displayed high selectivity and sensitivity towards CN- and S2- anions, lead to a significant color change of the solution observable by the naked eye.

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...
