在本篇論文中我們合成了兩個螢光化學感測器,分別為1,4-Bis(2-(2-(2-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-salicyald-2-imine)phenoxy)ethoxy)ethoxy)ethoxy)benzene (以下簡稱化合物DT)及1,4-Bis(2-(2-(2-(3,5-dichloro-salicyald-2-imine)phenoxy)ethoxy)ethoxy)ethoxy)benzene (以下簡稱化合物DC),利用兩個不同取代基的亞胺酚基化合物作為辨識單元,多乙氧基鏈作為架橋基,並利用紫外光-可見光吸收光譜儀(UV-Vis)以及螢光光譜儀,分別探討這兩種化合物在不同溶劑系統下與各種金屬離子的紫外光-可見光吸收變化以及螢光表現,結果顯示這兩種化合物皆可以對Zn2+離子具有辨識能力且造成螢光強度的差異。 (1) 在甲醇溶液系統中:競爭反應實驗結果顯示,DT-Zn系統僅有鋁、鉻、銅及鉛離子能將鋅離子取代。在DC-Zn系統則是有鈷、鉻、銅、鎳及鉛離子可以將鋅離子取代。 值得注意的是在DT-Zn系統中,加入鋇離子可以使得螢光強度增強,推測是藉由協同效應的影響所致。 此外在滴定實驗及Job′s plot實驗結果,我們可以得知這兩種化合物對鋅離子皆以2 : 3的方式結合。 (2) 在 10 mM HEPES溶液系統中:化合物DT及DC僅對鋅離子具有辨識能力,而且在競爭反應實驗結果,我們可以發現沒有其他金屬離子可以將鋅離子取代掉。
Two new fluorescence chemosensors, 1,4-Bis(2-(2-(2-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-salicyald-2-imine)phenoxy)ethoxy)ethoxy)ethoxy)benzene ( named as compound DT ) and 1,4-Bis(2-(2-(2-(3,5-dichloro-salicyald-2-imine)phenoxy)ethoxy)ethoxy)ethoxy)benzene ( named as compound DC ) hereafter, containing polyethoxy chain and salicyaldimine moiety has been designed and synthesized. The cation recognition abilities of DT and DC toward various cations ( Li+, Na+, K+, Cs+, Mg2+, Ca2+, Sr2+, Ba2+, Ag+, Al3+, Cd2+, Co2+, Cr3+, Cu2+, Mn2+, Ni2+, Pb2+ and Zn2+ ) in different solvent media have been examined by UV-Vis and fluorescence spectroscopies. In methanol and 10 mM HEPES media, sensors DT and DC also showed 〃Off-On〃 fluorescence signaling behavior when interacted with Zn2+ ion. (I) Methanol as media: According to the competitive studies, in the DT-Zn system, Zn2+ ion would be replaced by Al3+, Cr3+, Cu2+ and Pb2+ ions while in the DC-Zn system, Zn2+ ion would be replaced by Co2+, Cr3+, Cu2+, Ni2+ and Pb2+ ions, as observations of absorption change in the UV-vis spectra and fluorescence quenching in the fluorescence spectra. Interestingly, when adding Ba2+ ion into the solution of DT-Zn system and adding Al3+ ion into the solution of DC-Zn system, the fluorescence intensity for both systems are enhanced, signifying noticeable co-operative effect and substitution effect, respectively. On the basis of titration and Job′s plot, sensors DT and DC bind with Zn2+ both in a 2:3 stoichiometry. (II) 10 mM HEPES as media: Sensors DT and DC recognize only the Zn2+ ion. No other metal ion can replace Zn2+ ion in the DT-Zn and DC-Zn complexes.
