A Highly Selective Fluorescent Chemosensor for the Detection of Picrate Anion Based on 1,8-Naphthalimide Derivatives

  • Published:
Journal of Applied Spectroscopy Aims and scope

The synthesis and spectral characteristics of a new fluorescent N-allyl-4-iminodi(N-benzylacetamide)-1,8-naphthalimide (Zabe) sensor were reported. The ability of this new compound to detect anions was evaluated by spectrophotometrically monitoring the changes in the fluoresence intensity performed on its N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) solution. Compared to other anions examined, only picrate (Pic–) generated a prominent fluorescence quenching at 516 nm. No significant fluorescence change was observed in the presence of other anions. The emission quenching was due to the enhanced photoinduced electron transfer (PET) from the receptor to the excited state of the fluorophore upon the recognition of picrate. The chemosensor can be applied to the quantification of picrate with a linear range from 4.97 × 10−6 to 6.82 × 10−5 M and a detection limit of 6.6 × 10−7 M. Most importantly, this sensor can be utilized for the spectroscopic detection of picrate in the presence of other competing anions. Moreover, the response time of the chemo sensor is less than 1 min.
