Abstract

A new fluorescent chemosensor (Bodipy-S) derived from Bodipy and Salophen was developed. After the characterization of all compounds, the behavior of the chemosensor Bodipy-S toward p, d and f block-metal ions was investigated by UV-vis and fluorescence spectroscopy. This chemosensor can selectively detect to Cu (II) in methanol-aqueous solution based on chelation enhanced fluorescence (CHEF) and it almost exhibit to a fluorescence quenching effect with 20-fold. The binding constant of the fluorophore was interpreted by using of the Stern-Volmer method and the complex stoichiometry was defined by using Job’s plot. Moreover, the effect of pH was performed by the fluorescence intensities of Bodipy-S in presence of Cu(II) ions. The chemosensor can be successfully used to the detection of Cu(II) in most areas.
