Area of Science:

  • Supramolecular Chemistry
  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Acyl hydrazone derivatives are versatile scaffolds for designing chemosensors.
  • Selective detection of metal ions like Zn(II) and Al(III) is crucial in environmental and biological monitoring.
  • Luminescence-based sensing offers high sensitivity and selectivity for ion detection.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To synthesize and characterize a new acyl hydrazone-based chemosensor, H2L.
  • To investigate the selective detection capabilities of H2L for various metal ions.
  • To explore the practical applications of the developed chemosensor for on-site detection.

Main Methods:

  • Spectroscopic characterization (UV-Vis, Fluorescence, NMR, Mass Spectrometry).
  • Synthesis of the acyl hydrazone ligand (H2L) through multi-step procedures.
  • Metal ion titration studies to determine selectivity and binding constants.
  • Job's plot analysis for stoichiometry determination.

Main Results:

  • H2L selectively detected Zn(II) and Al(III) ions in specific solvent mixtures (EtOH-water and DMSO-water, respectively).
  • The chemosensor exhibited enhanced luminescence and optical color change upon binding with Zn(II) and Al(III).
  • The limit of detection for both ions was in the nanomolar range, with high binding constants indicating strong affinity.
  • The sensor was successfully applied to paper strips, cotton buds, and fluorescent ink for practical, on-site detection.

Conclusions:

  • The synthesized acyl hydrazone chemosensor (H2L) demonstrates excellent selectivity and sensitivity for Zn(II) and Al(III) ions.
  • Chelation-enhanced fluorescence emission is the mechanism behind the observed luminescence enhancement.
  • The sensor's applicability in various formats facilitates easy, on-site detection of target metal ions.
