Abstract:
In the existing leanings of environmental and national security issues, establishment of appropriate sensors for explosive as well as pollutant nitroaromatic compounds may be considered as one of the most prodigious job for material researchers. In the current study a new Cd(II) based 1D ladder coordination polymer (CP), [Cd(4-bpd)(3-cbn)2]n, has been synthesized and well characterized through single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Interestingly, the supramolecular assembly of this compound has efficiently identified 2,4,6-trinitrophenol through fluorescence quenching method. The Stern-Volmer coefficient (Ksv) has been calculated as 6.047 × 103 M-1, which can be attributed to the quenching of the emission intensity. The limit of detection (LOD) has been determined as 0.260 μM following the 3σ method along with almost 95% fluorescence intensity reduction. FESEM study revealed that the crystalline nature of the compound has been altered upon interaction with the above mentioned nitroaromatic analyte. Theoretical studies were performed to get the insight idea of fluorescence quenching mechanism which also substantiated the experimental observation. The present study can pave the way for the fabrication of future generation technology in sensor field.
