Two novel photochromic complexes based on viologen for amine sensing
Multifunctional viologen-based complexes with photochromic and photoluminescent properties have always been an actively studied subject owing to their remarkable characteristics. Based on 1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylic acid (H4BTEC), ZnSO4·7H2O or 3CdSO4·8H2O, and a novel viologen ligand, 1,1'-[1,4-phenylenebis(methylene)]-bis(4,4′-bipyridyl) dichloride (pbpy·2Cl), we have synthesized two viologen-based complexes, named {[Zn(pbpy)0.5(BTEC)0.75]·2H2O}n (1) and {[Cd3(pbpy)(BTEC)2(H2O)2]·H2O}n (2), under solvothermal conditions. Complexes 1 and 2 not only show reversible photochromic properties, but also possess photo-controlled luminescence properties. The discoloration mechanism of complexes 1 and 2 was investigated via Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory (TDDFT). Notably, because of the electron-deficient capability of pbpy, complex 1 shows significant visual color change after being exposed to NH3·H2O, Aniline and o-Toluidine. At the same time, complex 2 exhibits a distinct color change when exposed to ammonia vapor. Both complexes 1 and 2 exhibited low limits of detection (LOD) for NH3·H2O, 8.52 × 10−6 M−1 and 15.56 × 10−6 M−1, respectively. The binuclear zinc clusters are bridged through ligands to construct a 2D honeycomb structure in complex 1, while the trinuclear cadmium clusters are connected to form a 3D network structure in complex 2. Complex 1 has a faster discoloration rate and a lower detection limit concentration for NH3·H2O.
