Abstract

AbstractA new isatin‐triazole tethered rhodamine based fluorescent probe R1 (1‐(2’’‐(4’‐(((3’’’,6’’’‐bis(diethylamino)‐3’’‐oxospiro[isoindoline‐1’’,9’’’‐xanthen]‐2’’‐yl)amino)methyl)‐1H‐1’,2’,3’‐triazolyl)ethyl)indoline‐2,3‐dione) has been synthesized using click chemistry approach. Probe R1 exhibits a dual sensor property for Cu2+ and Fe3+ ions through turn‐on fluorescence response. A prominent colour change from colourless to pink allows the naked eye identification of aforementioned metal ions. R1 forms a 1:2 complex with Cu2+ and Fe3+ ions with binding constants 8.0 × 108 and 2.93 × 107 M−2, respectively. The binding mode is scrutinised through various spectroscopic techniques which is further supported by theoretical calculations. The detection limit of R1 for Cu2+ and Fe3+ ions is found to be 12.2 nM and 0.33 μM, respectively. Further, R1 has been evaluated for its potential to detect Cu2+ ions in biological systems using fluorescence cell imaging studies.
