Abstract

A new aromatic hydrazone based on pyrene-1-aldehyde was synthesized and characterized by 1H NMR and mass spectrometric analyses. The sensing properties of the hydrazone were studied by absorption and fluorescence studies in the aprotic solvent DMSO. It was capable of visual and fluorescent detection of fluoride over competitive ions (Cl−, Br−, H2PO4 −, AcO−). Moreover, the in-situ prepared iron(III) complex of the hydrazone was investigated as a turn off fluorescent fluoride sensor in aqueous medium by displacement mechanism.

Additional information

Highlights

• Pyrene-1- aldehyde based hydrazone was investigated as a chromogenic and fluorescent sensor for fluoride in DMSO medium. The in-situ prepared iron(III) complex of the sensor shows selectivity towards fluoride in aqueous medium through fluorescence turn-off process.

• No significant interference was observed for other anions.

• The sensor and its iron(III) complex exhibit low detection limit for fluoride in aprotic and protic medium respectively.
