Abstract
Based on the typical Suzuki coupling reaction and Schiff base reaction, a novel fluorescent molecular PCBW is synthesized and applied as a fluorescence and colorimetric sensor to detect Cu2+ in aqueous solution. The PCBW sensor presents the aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) effect and at 1 × 10-5 mol L-1 it emits the strongest turquoise fluorescence in the DMSO-H2O system (fw = 40%). The sensor exhibits a 'turn-off' fluorescent characteristic by adding Cu2+, and its fluorescent intensity shows a reliable linear relationship with the Cu2+ concentration in the range of 0-6 × 10-6 mol L-1, with a detection limit of 1.19 × 10-8 mol L-1. Meanwhile, the PCBW sensor also exhibits the colorimetric sensing from colorless to light yellow. The sensor has good selectivity and anti-interference and its pH application range can be extended from 5 to 10. The intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) is speculated as the main fluorescence mechanism of PCBW. In addition, the sensor presents good reusability and is practicable to detect Cu2+ in diverse aqueous samples.
