Abstract
Specific functionalized calix[4]arene based fluorescent chemosensor was synthesized for cations and anions binding efficiency examination. Receptor C4MA displayed strong affinity for Al3+and S2O7 2− with enhanced fluorescence intensity. The selective response of C4MA was investigated in the presence of different co-existing competing ions. The limit of detection (LOD) of Al3+and S2O7 2− was calculated as 2.8 × 10−6 M and 2.6 × 10−7 M respectively. Sensor C4MA forms (1:1) stoichiometric complex with both Al3+ and S2O7 2− and their binding constants were calculated as 12.1 × 104 and 8.3 × 103 respectively. Complexes were also characterized through FT-IR spectroscopy.
