Abstract

We have prepared Schiff base functionalized 1,2,4-triazole and pyrene derivative for selective, sensitive, and naked eye colorimetric detection of Cu2+ in the mixed organic- aqueous media. Amongst the 18 different metal ions studied for absorption and fluorescence titration, only Cu2+ ion encourages the modification in spectral properties of Schiff base functionalized 1,2,4-Triazole and Pyrene Probe. The stoichiometric ratio of the TP-Cu2+ complex was determined to be 2:1 according to Job's plot. The lower detection limit estimated for Cu2+ is 0.234nM which shows excellent sensitivity and selectivity of the present analytical method towards detection of Cu2+ ion in the mixed organic-aqueous media. The present approach has been successfully utilized for the quantitative determination of Cu2+ ion from environmental aqueous solution.
