Abstract
A novel pyridine-pyrazole based “turn-off” fluorescent chemosensor namely, 5-N-(pyridine-2-yl)-3-(pyridine-4-yl)-1H-pyrazole-5-carboxamide (PPPC) was designed, synthesized and well characterized by NMR, ESI-MS and FT-IR spectroscopic techniques. UV–vis absorption and fluorescence spectroscopic studies show that PPPC exhibits high selectivity and sensitivity towards Fe3+ ion in DMSO/H2O solution (9:1, v/v) over other metal ions. The binding constant (K) of PPPC with Fe3+ was calculated to be 5.1 × 10−2 M and 6.1 × 10−2 M from Benesi-Hildebrand plot using UV–vis and fluorescence spectrophotometer respectively. The detection limit of PPPC for Fe3+ was further determined as 57 nM and 88 nM by UV–vis and fluorescence titrations. Moreover, the binding mechanism of Fe3+ with PPPC was confirmed by DFT study.
