Study on the synthesis of novel fluorescent macrocyclic sensors and their sensitive properties for Cu2+ and Fe3+ in aqueous solution

In this work, we synthesised and characterised three novel fluorescence macrocyclic sensors containing optically active dansyl groups. The studies for the interaction of the synthesised compounds with various mental ions (Li+, Na+, K+, Ag+, Mg2+, Ca2+, Ba2+, Pb2+, Zn2+, Co2+, Cd2+, Hg2+, Ni2+, Cu2+, Mn2+, Cr3+, Al3+, Fe3+) were performed by fluorescence titration, Job's plot, ESI-MS and DFT calculations. The results showed that the sensors 1a-1c displayed selective recognition for Cu2+ and Fe3+ ions and formed stoichiometry 1:1 complex through PET mechanism in DMSO/H2O solution (1:1, v/v, pH 7.4 of HEPES). The binding constant (K) and detection limit were calculated. We reported the synthesis of three novel fluorescence macrocyclic sensors containing optically active dansyl groups.
