Abstract: | Colorimetric azobenzene based chemosensors 1 and 2 were designed for detection of transition-metal ions such as Cu(II) under physiological pH conditions. The internal charge transfer (ICT) sensors are highly colored, absorbing in the green. For 1, the Cu(II) recognition gives rise to red-to-yellow color changes that are visible to the naked-eye and reversible upon addition of EDTA, whereas for 2, which lacks the aromatic o-methoxy chelating group, no such changes were observed. |
