Abstract
1,3- bis-[4-(N-aza-15-crown-5)-benzylidene]cyclopentanone-2 ( I), a ketocyanine dye, was synthesized. The electronic absorption and emission spectra, protolytic interactions in aqueous alcohol media and complex formation with alkali earth metals in acetonitrile were studied for the dye ( I) and for several model compounds. It was shown that protonation of both dialkylamino groups of all compounds studied takes place at closely similar pH values. The complexation of alkali earth metals with azacrown derivative ( I) takes place at azacrown moieties and the carbonyl group. The sequence of binding to these sites is different for Mg2+ and Ba2+ ions. The effective ejection of Ba2+ ion out of the azacrown cycle was observed in the excited state, though, as in the case of Mg2+ ion, such process occurred only partially. The results obtained suggest that this azacrown derivative of dibenzylidene cyclopentanone is sensitive to alkali earth ions and has prospects for different biologically oriented applications.
