Probing Metal Ion Complexation of Ligands with Multiple Metal Binding Sites: The Case of Spiropyrans

Among known molecular switches, spiropyrans attract considerable interest because of their reversible responsiveness to external stimuli and the deep conformational and electronic changes that characterize the switching process between the two isomeric forms [spiropyran (SP) and merocyanine (MC)]. Metal coordination is one of the most interesting aspects of spiropyrans for its potential in sensing, catalysis, and medicinal chemistry, but little is known about the details surrounding spiropyran–metal ion binding. We investigated the interplay between an N‐modified 8‐methoxy‐6‐nitrospiropyran (SP‐E), designed to provide appropriate molecular flexibility and a range of competing/collaborative metal binding sites, with Mg²⁺, Cu²⁺ and Zn²⁺, which were chosen for their similar coordination geometry preferences while differing in their hard/soft character. The formed molecular complexes were studied by means of UV/Vis, fluorescence, and NMR spectroscopies and mass spectrometry, and the crystal structure of the SP‐E–Cu complex was also obtained. The results indicate that the Mg²⁺, Zn²⁺ and Cu²⁺ complexes have identical coordination stoichiometry. Furthermore, the Mg²⁺ and Zn²⁺ complexes display fluorescence properties in solution and visible‐light responsiveness. These results provide important spectroscopic and structural information that can serve as a foundation for rational design of spiropyran‐based smart materials for metal sensing and scavenging applications.     

Colorimetric sensing of cyanide anion in aqueous media with a fluorescein–spiropyran conjugate

A fluorescein–spiropyran conjugate (2) behaves as a receptor for colorimetric sensing of cyanide anion (CN^?) in aqueous media under irradiation of UV light. The compound 2, which exists as a spirocycle-closed (SP) form in the dark condition, is isomerized to the spirocycle-opened merocyanine (MC) form upon irradiation of UV light and shows absorption bands at 467 and 568 nm. Addition of CN^? to the solution leads to a decrease in these bands and an appearance of new absorption band at 512 nm, via a nucleophilic interaction between CN^? and the spirocarbon of MC form. This absorption change occurs selectively with CN^? and enables ratiometric quantification of CN^? by absorption analysis.     

Utilization of a spiropyran derivative in a polymeric film optode for selective fluorescent sensing of zinc ion

Spiropyrans are the most studied families of func- tional materials due to their reversible structural con- version in response to external optical, chemical, and thermal stimulation[1]. Irradiation with ultraviolet light causes formation of an extended π-conjugation open form (merocyanine form) by heterolytic cleavage of the C (spiro)-O bond, which generates an intense ab- sorption in the visible region. Under the irradiating of visible light, the opened form will come back to the closed spi…     

Colorimetric and fluorometric sensing of the Lewis acidity of a metal ion by metal-ion complexation of imidazo[1,2-a]pyrazin-3(7H)-ones

Metal-ion complexation of 7-benzylimidazo[1,2-a]pyrazin-3(7H)-one derivative (2) with Li⁺, Mg²⁺, Ca²⁺, Ba²⁺, Sc³⁺, and La³⁺ in acetonitrile resulted in successive modulations of its UV/vis absorption and fluorescence spectroscopic properties. This result indicates that 2 can be used as a colorimetric and fluorometric sensor of the Lewis acidity of a metal ion in aprotic solutions. The hypothesis that the metal-ion complex has a O10(imidazopyrazinone)-metal ion bond was supported by X-ray crystallographic analysis and quantum chemical calculations for a Li⁺ complex of 7-methylimidazo[1,2-a]pyrazin-3(7H)-one derivative (1).     

Selective photoswitching of a dyad with diarylethene and spiropyran units

A dyad bearing diarylethene and spiropyran units were synthesized. Ultraviolet light, visible light, H⁺, and Fe³⁺ inputs induce the multiple interconversion among the colorless diarylethene with spiropyran form (3), the colored closed form of diarylethene with spiropyran form (4), ME (5), MEH (6, 7) and MEH·Fe³⁺ (8). The efficient energy transfer from the anthracene emission to MEH·Fe³⁺ or ME·Fe³⁺ form was achieved. Using multi-mode photo switching in a dyad 3, logic gates may be built.     

Molecular Logic Gates and Switches Based on 1,3,4‐Oxadiazoles Triggered by Metal Ions

Organic molecular devices for information processing applications are highly useful building blocks for constructing molecular‐level machines. The development of “intelligent” molecules capable of performing logic operations would enable molecular‐level devices and machines to be created. We designed a series of 2,5‐diaryl‐1,3,4‐oxadiazoles bearing a 2‐(para‐substituted)phenyl and a 5‐(o‐pyridyl) group (substituent X=NMe₂, OEt, Me, H, and Cl; 1 a – e ) that form a bidentate chelating environment for metal ions. These compounds showed fluorescence response profiles varying in both emission intensity and wavelength toward the tested metal ions Ni²⁺, Cu²⁺, Zn²⁺, Cd²⁺, Hg²⁺, and Pb²⁺ and the responses were dependent on the substituent X, with those of 1 d being the most substantial. The 1,3,4‐oxadiazole O or N atom and pyridine N atom were identified as metal‐chelating sites. The fluorescence responses of 1 d upon metal chelation were employed for developing truth tables for OR, NOR, INHIBIT, and EnNOR logic gates as well as “ON‐OFF‐ON” and “OFF‐ON‐OFF” fluorescent switches in a single 1,3,4‐oxadiazole molecular system.     

Fluorescence properties of amido-substituted 2,3-naphthalimides: Excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) fluorescence and responses to Ca2+ ions

2,3-Naphthalimide derivatives incorporating trifluoroacetamido (3a) and methansulfonamido (3b) functionalities at the 1-position were prepared and their intramolecular excited state proton transfer (ESIPT) fluorescence and responses to metal ions were investigated. Compound 3a displayed normal fluorescence in the amide form in toluene and MeCN and no response to metal cations in the corresponding amidate ion form. In contrast, compound 3b gave off dual emission assignable to normal and ESIPT fluorescence. Additionally, the amidate form of compound 3b displayed off-on fluorescence response to Ca²⁺.     

Hydrogen-Bonded Dimeric Capsules with Appended Spiropyran Units: Towards Controlled Cargo Release

We report the synthesis of unprecedented tetra-urea derivatives of calix[4]arene and calix[4]pyrrole containing four spiropyran (SP) units at their upper rim. We investigate the photo- and acid-induced isomerization of the monomeric and homo-dimeric tetra-ureas derivatives using UV-Vis and ¹H NMR spectroscopies. At micromolar concentration, irradiation of the samples with 365 nm light induces changes in their absorption spectra that are consistent with SP→merocyanine (MC) isomerization. However, analogous experiments at millimolar concentration do not produce noticeable changes in the ¹H NMR spectra. The addition of triflic acid to micromolar and millimolar solutions of the tetra-ureas produces the quantitative isomerization of the SP units to the protonated merocyanine form (E-MCH⁺) and the simultaneous disassembly of the capsular dimers to form ill-defined aggregates. The neutralization of the acid solutions resets the SP form. Under these acid/base treatment conditions, the controlled release of the included guest and the reassembly of the all-SP tetra-urea dimers occurs at different extents depending on its calix[4]arene or calix[4]pyrrole scaffold.     

Measurement of Chelating Agent Levels in Media with High Concentrations of Interfering Metal Ions

Abstract

An ion-exchange method for the measurement of levels of chelating agents in media with high levels of metal ions has been developed. The test solution is passed through a specially prepared ion-exchange column, which both removes metal ion interferences, and places the chelating agent in the copper form. The copper levels in the column effluent are then measured by flame atomic absorption methods, the copper levels corresponding in a 1:1 ratio to the levels of chelating agent in the sample. The detection limit for this method is on the order of 1 ppm copper equivalent chelating capacity, and is applicable in situations where the interfering metal ions are at concentrations in the range of 10^?2 M. The method is reproducible in the pH ranges of 4 to 9 Precision and     

Divalent metal ion-sensitive holographic sensors

A holographic sensor for real-time detection of divalent metal ions (Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺, Ni²⁺, Co²⁺ and Zn²⁺) has been fabricated by incorporating a chelating monomer into a hydrogel matrix. A methacrylated analogue of iminodiacetic acid (IDA) was prepared and co-polymerised with hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EDMA) as a cross-linker to form polymer films. A silver-based reflection hologram was incorporated into the hydrogel by diffusion followed by holographic recording using a frequency-doubled Nd/YAG laser. Changes in the replay wavelength of the hologram were used to characterise the swelling behaviour of the matrix as a function of its chemical composition and concentration of analyte in the media. The effects of active monomer, cross-linker, pH and ionic strength on the swelling of the matrix and on metal detection sensitivity have been studied. Polymers containing >10 mol% of chelating monomer and 6 mol% of cross-linker showed significant responses (46.3 nm) within 30 s at an ion concentration of 0-40 nm. The selectivity of the holograms towards the different ions tested was Ni²⁺>Zn²⁺>Co²⁺>Ca²⁺>Mg²⁺. The sensor showed fully reversible responses, permitting real-time monitoring of calcium ion efflux during the germination of Bacillus megaterium spores.
