Transition Metal Ions or Acid-induced Suppression of Photoinduced Proton Transfer and Electron Transfer Reaction in 5-(4-Fluorophenyl)-2-hydroxypyridine: A Molecule of Dual Mode Fluorosensitivity

The photophysical properties of 5-(4-fluorophenyl)-2-hydroxypyridine (FP2HP) at different pH and its fluorescence response toward different transition metal ions have been studied by steady-state absorption and emission spectroscopy in combination with quantum chemical calculations. Although keto-enol tautomerization is observed in the excited state, the molecule is weakly fluorescent due to the presence of electron-rich nitrogen atom and relatively electron-deficient fluorine atom, which may lead to photoinduced electron transfer process. In the presence of the transition metal ions, such as Zn²⁺, Cd²⁺, Hg²⁺, etc., the studied molecule exhibits changes in its absorption and emission properties. The present system shows fluorescence enhancement instead of usual quenching in presence of the transition metal ions, such as Fe²⁺ and Cu²⁺. Spectral observation leads to the interpretation that this structurally simple molecule can be effectively utilized as a chelation-enhanced fluorescence-based chemosensor for the detection of transition metal ions. The experimental findings corroborate well with theoretical calculations at Hartree–Fock level using 6-31G** and lanl2dz basis sets.     

Metal Ion Interaction of Two New Tritopic N2O13 Macrobicycles with B15C5 Moieties in Acetonitrile Solution

The synthesis of two new tritopic crown ligands (L1 and L2) bearing two benzo-15-crown-5 lateral moieties linked through a dibenzo-trioxa chain together with their interaction with metal ions, in acetonitrile and acetonitrile–water (50%, v/v) solutions is reported. The influence of K⁺, Na⁺, Li⁺, Ca²⁺, Ba²⁺, Cu²⁺, Zn²⁺, Cd²⁺, Pb²⁺ and Al³⁺, on the spectroscopic properties of these diaza-polyoxa ligands was investigated by absorption spectrophotometry and in some cases by fluorescence emission spectroscopy. Coordination with alkaline (Na⁺, K⁺ and Li⁺) and alkaline earth (Ca²⁺and Ba²⁺) metal ions is assumed to be weak with both macrobicyclic ligands, while the interaction with both imine and amine derivatives causes a minor effect in the absorption spectra. Coordination with Cu²⁺, Zn²⁺ and Pb²⁺ in acetonitrile solution causes a major change in the absorption spectra of the chromophores. In the case of Cu²⁺, addition of the metal to L1 or L2 leads to a blue–violet complex in solution with an absorbance maximum centred at 590 nm. Interaction of the Schiff-base L1 with Pb²⁺ leads to a short wavelength shift in the absorption bands, comparable with the ZnL1 complex. Presence of transition metal ions such as Co²⁺, Ni²⁺and Cd²⁺ do not remarkably affect the absorption spectra of L1 and L2 in solution. Trivalent aluminium has a modest effect in the absorption bands of both N₂O₁₃ donor set bismacrocyclic ligands. The fluorescence study of L2 in the presence of Na⁺, K⁺, Ca²⁺, Ba²⁺, Co²⁺, Cu²⁺, Ni²⁺, Pb²⁺ and Al³⁺shows that Cu²⁺, Pb²⁺ and Al³⁺ complexes form non-fluorescent complexes.     

Ratiometric and turn-on monitoring for heavy and transition metal ions in aqueous solution with a fluorescent peptide sensor

A novel fluorescent peptide sensor containing tryptophan (donor) and dansyl fluorophore (acceptor) was synthesized for monitoring heavy and transition metal (HTM) ions on the basis of metal ion binding motif (Cys-X-X-X-Cys). The peptide probe successfully exhibited a turn on and ratiometric response for several heavy metal ions such as Hg²⁺, Cd²⁺, Pb²⁺, Zn²⁺, and Ag⁺ in aqueous solution. The enhancements of emission intensity were achieved in the presence of the HTM ions by fluorescent resonance energy transfer (FRET) and chelation enhanced fluorescence (CHEF) effects. The detection limits of the sensor for Cd²⁺, Pb²⁺, Zn²⁺, and Ag⁺ were lower than the EPA's drinking water maximum contaminant levels (MCL). We described the fluorescent enhancement, binding affinity, and detection limit of the peptide probe for HTM ions.     

Photophysical and Complexation Behavior of (4-Dimethylamino-benzylidene)-(4,6-dimethyl-pyrimidin-2-yl)-amine

The absorption and fluorescence characteristics of (4‐dimethylamino‐benzylidene)‐(4,6‐dimethyl‐pyrimidin‐2‐yl)‐amine (SB) have been investigated in different solvents. Both the absorption and emission spectra of SB exhibit red shifts as the solvent polarity increases. This indicats a change in dipole moment of molecules upon excitation as a result of intramolecular charge transfer interaction. The fluorescence quantum yield depends strongly on the properties of the solvents, which was discussed on the bases of positive and negative solvatokinetic effects. The effect of some divalent transition metal ions such as Mn²⁺, Co²⁺, Ni²⁺, Cu²⁺, Zn²⁺, Cd²⁺, and Hg²⁺on the absorption and fluorescence spectra of SB is also investigated. The results were consistent with formation of highly colored metal‐ SB complex which is responsible for the extreme quenching of the fluorescence of SB. The variations of both the formation constant of the complex and Stern‐Volmer constant were correlated with the electronic structure of the used metal ion.     

Naphthalimide-based fluorescent Zn chemosensors showing PET effect according to their linker length in water

We have developed naphthalimide-based fluorescent chemosensors that exhibit fluorescence enhancement upon binding Zn²⁺ ion in 10 mM HEPES buffer (pH 7.4) at 25 °C. The fluorescence enhancement was induced by a PET inhibition process in which electron transfer from the nitrogen lone pair electrons of the Dpa unit to naphthalimide was blocked upon the binding of the sensor to Zn²⁺. The longer the linker length (n = 1-3) of the sensor, the less the PET efficiency becomes. Among the sensors (1, 2, and 3) examined, 1 shows the highest selectivity and sensitivity for Zn²⁺ over other transition metal ions and alkali metal ions in water.     

Fluorescent chemosensor based-on naphthol-quinoline for selective detection of aluminum ions

In this study, an assay to quantify the presence of aluminum ions with a receptor containing naphthol and quinoline moieties was developed using a turn-on fluorescence enhancement approach. Upon treatment with aluminum ions, the fluorescence of the receptor was enhanced at 510 nm due to the formation of a complex between the ligand and aluminum ions at room temperature. As the concentration of Al³⁺ was increased, the fluorescence gradually increased. Other metal ions, such as K⁺, Ag⁺, Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺, Zn²⁺, Mn²⁺, Co²⁺, Ni²⁺, Cu²⁺, Cd²⁺, Cr³⁺, Fe³⁺, In³⁺, had no significant effect on the fluorescence.

Three different fluorescent responses to transition metal ions using receptors based on 1,2-bis- and 1,2,4,5-tetrakis-(8-hydroxyquinolinoxymethyl)benzene

The dipod 1,2-bis(8-hydroxyquinolinoxymethyl)benzene (3) and tetrapod 1,2,4,5-tetrakis(8-hydroxyquinolinoxymethyl)benzene (5) have been synthesized through nucleophilic substitution of respective 1,2-bis(bromomethyl)benzene (2) and 1,2,4,5-tetra(bromomethyl)benzene (4) with 8-hydroxyquinoline (1). For comparison, 1,3,5-tris(8-hydroxyquinolinoxymethyl)benzene derivatives (7a and 7b) have been obtained. The complexation behavior of these podands towards Ag⁺, Co²⁺, Ni²⁺, Cu²⁺, Zn²⁺, and Cd²⁺ metal ions has been investigated in acetonitrile by fluorescence spectroscopy. The sterically crowded 1,2,4,5-tetrapod 5 displays unique fluorescence ‘ON-OFF-ON’ switching through fluorescence quenching (λ_max 395 nm, switch OFF) with <1.0 equiv of Ag⁺ and fluorescence enhancement (λ_max 495 nm, switch ON) with >3 equiv Ag⁺ and can be used for estimation of two different concentrations of Ag⁺ at two different wavelengths. The addition of Cu²⁺, Ni²⁺, and Co²⁺ metal ions to tetrapod 5 causes fluorescence quenching, i.e., ‘ON-OFF’ phenomena at λ_max 395 nm for <10 μM (1 equiv) of these ions but addition of Zn²⁺ and Cd²⁺ to tetrapod 5 results in fluorescence enhancement with a gradual shift of λ_em from 395 to 432 and 418 nm, respectively. Similarly, dipod 3 behaves as an ‘ON-OFF-ON’ switch with Ag⁺, an ‘ON-OFF’ switch with Cu²⁺, and an ‘OFF-ON’ switch with Zn²⁺. The placement of quinolinoxymethyl groups at the 1,3,5-positions of benzene ring in tripod 7a-b leads to simultaneous fluorescence quenching at λ_max 380 nm and enhancement at λ_max 490 nm with both Ag⁺ and Cu²⁺. This behavior is in parallel with 8-methoxyquinoline 8. The rationalization of these results in terms of metal ion coordination and protonation of podands shows that 1,2 placement of quinoline units in tetrapod 5 and dipod 3 causes three different fluorescent responses, i.e., ‘ON-OFF-ON’, ‘ON-OFF’, and ‘OFF-ON’ due to metal ion coordination of different transition metal ions and 1, 3, and 5 placement of three quinolines in tripod 7, the protonation of quinolines is preferred over metal ion coordination. In general, the greater number of quinoline units coordinated per metal ion in 5 compared with the other podands points to organization of the four quinoline moieties around metal ions in the case of 5.     

Aminoquinoline based highly sensitive fluorescent sensor for lead(II) and aluminum(III) and its application in live cell imaging

We have synthesized a new probe 5-((anthracen-9-ylmethylene) amino)quinolin-10-ol (ANQ) based on anthracene platform. The probe was tested for its sensing behavior toward heavy metal ions Hg²⁺, Pb²⁺, light metal Al³⁺ ion, alkali, alkaline earth, and transition metal ions by UV–visible and fluorescent techniques in ACN/H₂O mixture buffered with HEPES (pH 7.4). It shows high selectivity toward sensing Pb²⁺/Al³⁺ metal ions. Importantly, 10-fold and 5- fold fluorescence enhancement at 429 nm was observed for probe upon complexation with Pb²⁺ and Al³⁺ ions, respectively. This fluorescence enhancement is attributable to the prevention of photoinduced electron transfer. The photonic studies indicate that the probe can be adopted as a sensitive fluorescent chemosensor for Pb²⁺ and Al³⁺ ions.     

Ion Interactions with a New Ditopic Naphthalimide‐Based Receptor: A Photophysical,NMR and Theoretical (DFT) Study

A new multi‐component chemosensor system comprising a naphthalimide moiety as fluorophore is designed and developed to investigate receptor–analyte binding interactions in the presence of metal and non‐metal ions. A dimethylamino moiety is utilized as receptor for metal ions and a thiourea receptor, having acidic protons, for binding anions. The system is characterized by conventional analytical methods. The absorption and fluorescence spectra of the system consist of a broad band typical for an intramolecular charge transfer (ICT). The effects of various metal‐ion additives on the spectral behavior of the present sensor system are examined in acetonitrile. It is found that among the metal ions studied, alkali/alkaline earth‐metal ions and transition‐metal ions modulate the absorption and fluorescence spectra of the system. As an additional feature, the anion signaling behavior of the system in acetonitrile is studied. A decrease in fluorescence efficiency of the system is observed upon addition of fluoride and acetate anions. Fluorescence quenching is most effective in the case of fluoride ions. This is attributed to the enhancement of the photoinduced electron transfer from the anion receptor to the fluorophore moiety. Hydrogen‐bond interactions between the acidic NH protons of the thiourea moiety and the F^? anions are primarily attributed to the fluoride‐selective signaling behavior. Interestingly, a negative cooperativity for the binding event is observed when the interactions of the system are studied in the presence of both Zn²⁺ and F^? ions. NMR spectroscopy and theoretical calculations are also carried out to better understand the receptor–analyte binding.
