Abstract:

A new calix[4]arene derivative 2 with naphthalene fluorophores at the lower rim was synthesized. The chemosensing behavior of the host compound 2 for metal ions was investigated by fluorescence spectra. The results revealed that chemosensor 2 containing S2O2 atoms as soft donors had a good selectivity towards Ag+ ion. It exhibits high sensitivity toward Ag+ over a wide range of metal ions in C2H5OH/H2O(3:2, volume ratio). The fluorescence quenching behavior was observed under binding of the Ag+ with a detection limit of 2.34×10-7 mol/L.
