Abstract
In present work our group has synthesized two novel Schiff-bases, Di-Carbazole based Schiff-base (DB-1) and Di-Anthracene based Schiff-base (DB-2) using condensation reaction and characterized thorough different spectroscopic techniques such as mass spectrometry, IR spectroscopy, 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. Furthermore, the AIE(Aggregation induced emission) studies were done using water-THF mixture. As compared to pure THF, the DB-2 showed a 17.8-fold increase in fluorescence intensity with a bathochromic shift of 64 nm in 80% water: THF mixture. For DB-1increase was seen at 70% water-THF combination. The analysis of the dynamic light scattering (DLS) further supported this excellent AIEE (Aggregation induced enhanced emission) characteristic. Furthermore, the spectrofluorometric techniques were used to examine the capacity of both Schiff bases to detect the heavy metals. It was discovered that only DB-1, with a detection limit of 2.4 × 10-8 M, was selective for the Cu2+ ion, whereas DB-2 had no sensing capability for metal ions. The Job's plot was used to determine the stoichiometry ratio of the DB-1 with Cu2+ to further examine the process. It was discovered that the ratio was 1:1 (DB-1:Cu2+). Additionally, the association constant of DB-1 for Cu2+ was 5.1 × 1011 M-1, demonstrating the excellent binding affinity of DB-1 for the Cu2+ ion.
