Abstract
A simple, tailor-made, novel chemosensor based on 1,10-phenanthroline Schiff base incorporating N, N-Diethylamino salicylaldehyde (1) was designed and synthesized. The sensing ability of chemosensor 1 was tested via colorimetric, UV–Vis and fluorescence spectroscopy. Chemosensor 1 could effectively and specifically detect diethylchlorophosphate (DCP) in acetonitrile displaying naked eye colour change from pale yellow to dark yellow while fluorogenic colour changes from blue to pink fluorescence (365 nm UV lamp irradiation). The spectral changes corroborated the colorimetric results with appreciable bathochromic shifts of 44 and 75 nm in absorption and emission spectra respectively. With DCP, the spectral changes may be attributed to the reaction of the phosphorus group with the hydroxyl group which inhibits the ICT within the molecule. The colorimetric and spectral changes were reversed with the addition of triethylamine (TEA) signifying the reversibility of chemosensor 1. Significantly, the detection limit of 1 for DCP ions was evaluated to be 4.4 nM with the binding constant value of 1.9 × 104 M−1. Furthermore, chemosensor 1 showed excellent performance for convenient DCP detection via filter paper fabricated test strips.
期刊介绍:
Spectrochimica Acta, Part A: Molecular and Biomolecular Spectroscopy (SAA) is an interdisciplinary journal which spans from basic to applied aspects of optical spectroscopy in chemistry, medicine, biology, and materials science.
The journal publishes original scientific papers that feature high-quality spectroscopic data and analysis. From the broad range of optical spectroscopies, the emphasis is on electronic, vibrational or rotational spectra of molecules, rather than on spectroscopy based on magnetic moments.
Criteria for publication in SAA are novelty, uniqueness, and outstanding quality. Routine applications of spectroscopic techniques and computational methods are not appropriate.
Topics of particular interest of Spectrochimica Acta Part A include, but are not limited to:
Spectroscopy and dynamics of bioanalytical, biomedical, environmental, and atmospheric sciences,
Novel experimental techniques or instrumentation for molecular spectroscopy,
Novel theoretical and computational methods,
Novel applications in photochemistry and photobiology,
Novel interpretational approaches as well as advances in data analysis based on electronic or vibrational spectroscopy.
