Abstract
Two urea-linked 1,2,3-triazole based sensors (5a and 5b) have been synthesized by 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition between 1-(4-fluorophenyl)-3-(prop-2-yn-1-yl)urea (2) and phenyl azides (4a-4b) via copper(I)-catalyzed click reaction. The synthesized sensors 5a and 5b have been evaluated for their sensing ability towards anions (F−, Br−, Cl−, I−, H2PO4− and AcO−) and cations (Cu2+, Zn2+, Ca2+, Co2+, Cd2+, Hg2+, Pb2+ and Ni2+) through UV–Visible, fluorescence and NMR spectral techniques. It was observed that sensor 5a exhibited selective sensing for F− ion with a bathochromic shift in absorption spectrum and showed fluorescence “turn-on” behaviour in the emission spectroscopy. The UV–Visible experiments exhibited that 5a interact with F− ion with a stability constant (K) of 2.058 × 104 M−1 and detection limit of 5a for F− ions was found to be 65.76 ± 0.45 μM. Furthermore, these results were also supported by density functional theory (DFT) calculations.
