Abstract
One new benzo-15-crown-5-modifying fluorene Schiff base (FBC), together with the CN-linked fluorene-3,4-dimethoxybenzene (FBDMO) and fluorene-benzene (FB) references, has been designed and facilely synthesized. The binding of Cu2+ with nitrogen atom of CN moiety in these three compounds can inhibit the photo-induced electronic transition process and induce the ratiometric-absorption and fluorescent OFF–ON response to Cu2+. Whereas the employment of benzo-15-crown-5 moiety in FBC as additional binding platform for Cu2+ not only amplifies the fluorescent enhancement of FBCvia preventing the isomerization of CN moiety, but also endows this compound high selectivity and rapid response towards Cu2+ over the references FB and FBDMO. These results render FBC highly sensitive ratiometric-absorption and fluorescent OFF–ON detecting potential for Cu2+ with the detection limit of 3.91×10−6M.
