Abstract

SBA-Pr-NHC as a novel silica-based chemosensor was synthesized through the functionalization of mesoporous silica SBA-15 material with 4-hydroxy-2-oxo-2H-chromene-3-carbaldehyde, which was successfully immobilized to the surface of mesoporous silica, and its hexagonal mesoporous structure has been preserved. Photoluminescence spectroscopy was applied to study the sensing behavior of SBA-Pr-NHC, which displayed high selectivity for sensing Ag+ ion in aqueous media. After the addition of trace amounts of Ag+ ions into the aqueous solution, a significant enhancement of fluorescence emission has occurred with the detection limits of 2.4 × 10−5 M.
