Abstract

A novel quinoline-functionalized calix [4] arene derivative (Quin-Calix) has been successfully synthesized at partial cone conformation and duly characterized by using FTIR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, ESI-MS and elemental analysis techniques. Moreover, the cation-binding property of the calix [4] arene derivative (Quin-Calix) has been investigated towards Cu2+, Ba2+, Cd2+, Co2+, Ni2+, Zn2+ and Fe3+ ions, and the recognition event monitored by UV-Vis absorption and fluorescence studies. The results indicated that Quin-Calix displays a remarkable affinity and selectivity only for Cu2+ ion. The binding constant and stoichiometry of the complex formed between Quin-Calix and Cu2+ ion have been also calculated from the fluorescence data. In addition, Stern-Vohmer equation has been used to elucidate the mechanism of quenching.
