Article Abstract

A functional amide-type pincer ligand was designed and synthesized, which could effectively capture Tb ions to form a phosphorescence complex-based chemosensor Tb-1. The chemosensor could further coordinate with Pb ions and display a turn-on phosphorescence response. This sensing process was analyzed in detail by steady-state luminescence spectroscopy, time-resolved luminescence spectroscopy, electron microscopy and dynamic light scattering, which suggest that the formation of Pb-induced hydroxide nanoclusters can adjust the optical signal of the external luminescence compound by embedment and fixation of Tb complexes. Furthermore, Tb-1 could effectively eliminate the signal interference from the short-lived fluorescence and improve the signal-to-noise ratio to increase the accuracy of the detection for Pb. An understanding of the recognition mechanism of the Tb complex-based chemosensor and the application of the characteristic spectra of lanthanide ions might be able to provide more opportunities to develop highly selective optical chemosensors.

A novel type of chemosensor based on tin(IV) complexes incorporating hydroxyquinoline derivatives has been designed and investigated for selectively detecting fluoride ions. Sn(meq)Cl (meq = 2-methyl-8-quinolinol) (complex 1) exhibits a significant enhancement in luminescence upon the introduction of fluoride ions. This enhancement greatly surpasses that observed with SnqCl and Sn(dmqo)Cl (q = 8-hydroxyquinnoline; dmqo = 5,7-dimethyl-8-quinolinol).

This paper scrutinises the development of low-cost hypersensitive fluorescent probes manipulated chemically with Schiff base complexes and their prospective applicability for the detection of nitro explosives in light of the rapidly expanding demand for anti-trafficking measures. In this study, a new Zn(II) metal complex has been synthesized in one pot using the Schiff base ligand L= 2-methoxy-5-methyl-N-(2-pyridin-2-ylmethylene) aniline. The complex was also thoroughly characterised using various spectroscopic tools and subjected to single crystal XRD analysis.

The tetranuclear Cu /Ca /Ca2 /Cu complex based on Malten ligand has been investigated as a platform for anion binding. Simple organic carboxylates and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) have been tested, revealing the ability of the platform to bind them. The receiving platform hosts at least two guests in solution although a third anion can be bound, as suggested by X-ray diffraction analysis.

This work describes the syntheses, characterization, crystal structures, absorption and emission spectra and DFT calculations of three dizinc(II) compounds of the composition [ZnII2L(μ-N)(N)] (1) [ZnL'(2,4-dinitrophenolate)] (2) and [ZnL'(picrate)] (3), respectively, (where HL is the 1 : 2 condensation product of 4-ethyl-2,6-diformylphenol and -methylethylenediamine and H2L' (a diamino-diimino-diphenol system) is a new type of macrocyclic ligand). Compound 1 is water soluble and its aqueous solution exhibits intense fluorescence properties. 2,4-Dinitrophenol (DNP) and picric acid (PA) selectively quench the fluorescence intensity of 1 to a significant extent, revealing that 1 is a fluorescence sensor of DNP and PA.
