Abstract

A novel UV-visible chemosensor, 4-methyl-2-((quinolinyl-8-amino)methyl)phenol (MQAMP), was designed and synthesized. The spectral properties of its free and Cu2+-coordinated forms were characterized. Under the optimized conditions, MQAMP showed selective and sensitive sensing for copper ions in an ethanol solution. The binding of Cu2+ to MQAMP caused a marked enhancement of the absorbance, and an about 100 nm red-shift of the maximum absorption wavelength. Other ions including Mo6+, Li+, Cs+, As3+, Ca2+, Na+, Cd2+, K+, Mg2+, Pt2+, Sr2+, Ba2+, Al3+, Cr6+, Be2+, Fe3+, Ni2+, F-, CH3COO-, SO42-, NO3-, Cl-, CO32-, and SO32- displayed no significant interference in this detection of Cu2+. The chemosensor exhibited a dynamic response range for Cu2+ from 1.0 × 10-6 to 1.0 × 10-5 mol L-1 with a detection limit of 1.1 × 10-7 mol L-1 (3σ).
