Abstract
A new chalcone based chemosensor like 6-cinnamoylthiochroman-4-one (AZAN), has been designed and synthesized from 6-chlorothiochroman-4-one and cinnamaldehyde via keto ethylenic linkage. Its amino derivatives were synthesized by using urea (AZANU), thiourea (AZANTU) and 2,6-diamino pyridine (AZANPy) respectively and its metal ion sensing properties were investigated. The sensors can selectively recognize and sense the metal cations by showing different fluorescent characteristics at different concentrations. The fluorescence intensity shows remarkable enhancement by Cr3+ over other common metal ions (Cd2+, Hg2+ and Pb2+). The proposed mechanism can be confirmed by UV-Vis and emission titration. The newly synthesized receptor can sense the metal ions even in nano molar level. The binding or association constant and detection limit of chemosensor to Cr3+ are 1.684 × 105 M-1 and 0.2245 × 10-9 M respectively. A computation using the density functional theory was done to gain detailed insights into the electronic structures of the ligand and its derivatives. B3LYP function and 6-31G(d,p) basis set were used to optimize the ground-state geometry of the chemical and its derivatives.
