A Novel Rhodamine Functionalized Schiff Base Type Ratiometric Fluorescent Chemosensor for the Sensing of Hg2+ Ions; Experimental and Theoretical Approach
摘要
A new Rhodamine functionalised Schiff Base sensor 3’,6’-bis(diethylamino)-2-((4-hydroxybenzylidene)amino)spiro[isoindoline-1,9’-xanthen]-3-one (SBRB1) was designed and synthesized. The recognition ability of sensor SBRB1 towards Hg2+ was studied by using UV-Vis and fluorescence spectroscopy. The fluorescence results showed that the sensor SBRB1 has specific selectivity as well as sensitivity towards Hg2+ among other competitive metal ions as the fluorescence intensity at 479 nm quenched only in the presence of Hg2+. This sensitivity towards Hg2+ was due to the chelation between ligand and Hg2+. From the fluorescence titration the binding constant and detection limit of SBRB1:Hg2+ complex were calculated and found to be 5.114
