Abstract
Fluorogenic chemosensors using pyridoxal derivatized ligands as fluorophore is a rapidly growing field of research. Here we report a new Fe(III) complex, [Fe(HBala-pydx)(Bala-pydx)] (H2Bala-pydx is the Schiff base of pyridoxal with beta-alanine), which can serve as a sensitive and selective turn-on fluorescent sensor for the detection of cyanide(CN−) in micromolar concentrations (L.O.D. is 1.134 µM), via the ligand displacement approach, in aqueous-acetonitrile medium. The Fe(III) complex is adequately characterized by analytical and spectroscopic methods along with X-ray crystal structure determination.
