Abstract
A simple water-soluble carboxamidoquinoline derivative of glucofuranose 1 exhibited reversible selectivity toward Cu2+ and Au3+ ions in different binding modes. Sensor 1 is an example of a dual sensor for identifying copper and gold ions in the water medium. Sensor 1 exhibited excellent selection ability and sensitivity for Cu2+ and Au3+ ions rather than several metal ions and anions with a wide pH range (5–10). The association constants for both ions were determined to be 3.58 × 104 M−1 and 1.84 × 104 M−1, respectively. The 1:1 binding chemistry of the complexes was verified from the Job method and again validated through mass spectra. Sensor 1 can detect Cu2+ and Au3+ ions at very low concentrations, such as 0.014 μM for Cu2+ and 0.058 μM for Au3+. The different sensing strategies of sensor 1 towards Cu2+ and Au3+ were manifested from the photophysical properties of sensor 2 with metal ions, FT-IR spectra, and theoretical (DFT) observations. The useful relevance of the sensor for Cu2+ and Au3+ ions was tested in different water samples.
