Highly selective fluorescent chemosensor for Na~+ based on pyrene-modified calix[4]arene derivative

【摘要】 A novel calix[4]arene derivative with pyrene fluorophores at the upper rim and tetraester ionophores at the lower rim was synthesized in six steps,and its structure was proved by NMR and ESI-MS spectro-scopies. Furthermore,the chemosensing behavior of the host compound for alkali and alkaline earth metal ions was investigated by fluorescence spectroscopy. The obtained results show that the calix-arene host can selectively bind sodium ion with the complexation stability constant of 2190 mol-1.L. The complexation with sodium ion can pronouncedly induce the excimer emission to decrease and the monomer emission to increase,whereas the addition of the other alkali and alkaline earth metal ions does not cause appreciable changes in the fluorescence spectrum of the host compound. The present calix[4]arene derivative displays potential application as fluorescent chemosensor for sodium ion.更多还原
