Abstract
An aminonaphthoquinone based colorimetric chemosensor has been developed and demonstrated for the highly selective detection of Cu(II) ions in aqueous solution. The intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) transition exits in amine moiety directly attached to the quinone ring is modulated by the d–d transition of a square planar Cu(II)-receptor complex resulting in a change of color from yellow to blue. No significant color change was observed upon addition of other selected metal ions. The sensing property has been investigated using various spectral techniques (UV–Vis, fluorescence) and product analysis (Elemental analysis, magnetic moment, UV–Vis, FT-IR, EPR).
