Abstract

A new dipicolinimidamide based receptor, N,N’-(pyridine-2,6-diyl)dipicolinimidamide receptor AM2 is designed for the recognition of Cu2+ among all cations with high selectivity investigated in aqueous solutions via synergistic effects of intermolecular hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interactions. The photophysical properties of the AM2 receptor were tested by UV/Visible absorption methods. The binding method was completely confirmed by computer based studies. Theoretical statistics have highlighted the role of π-π stacking and hydrogen bonding in binding of Cu2+ with receptor AM2. Receptor AM2 selectively recognized Cu2+ in EtOH/water with a detection limit down to 3.49 μM and can be utilized to recognize Cu2+ ions in real samples.
