A Chemosensor for Fe3+ Detection Derived from Pyrene

Abstract

It is of great significance to find a suitable method to detect Fe3+ due to its essential role in human and animal health. Artificial chemosensors have been a suitable method in view of simple preparation, fast response, et al. [Aim]: A selective Fe3+ chemosensor was designed. [Method]: A novel Fe3+-selective chemosensor was rationally designed based on pyrene derivative by the introduction of benzoyl hydrazine. [Results] The proposed chemosensor presented good selectivity for Fe3+ in presence of other common metal ions. [Conclusions]: The proposed idea can be used for reference to enrich chemosensors.
