Abstract
A novel optical fiber sensor for the detection of Fe3+ based on AIEgens was reported for the first time. A new anti-B18H22 derivative ((5-NH2C9H6N)2B18H20, Referred as to S1) bearing 5-aminoisoquinoline was synthesized via a one-pot and its structure was verified by 1H NMR and HRMS, photophysical properties were characterized by UV–Vis, fluorescence spectrum and theoretical calculation. The fluorophore exhibits obvious aggregation-induced emission enhancement (AIEE) characteristics in THF/H2O solution by increasing the aqueous concentration from 70% to 90%. The aggregation-induced emission (AIE) molecule in THF/H2O (ƒw = 90%) solution shows high selectivity for detecting Fe3+ over other metal ions by forming a 1:1 metal-to-ligand complex, and the detection limit is 5.25 × 10−5 M. The optical fiber sensor based on S1 for the detection of Fe3+ was fabricated, and the detection limit of Fe3+ can reach to be 0.137 nM. The sensor can be used to detect Fe3+ in chemical, environmental and biological fields.
