Selective fluorescent sensors for malate anion using the complex of phenanthroline-based Eu(III) in aqueous solution

Highlights•The novel fluorescent sensors based on phenanthroline Schiff base can recognize Cd2+, Zn2+ and Eu3+.•L1–Eu3+ complex could be applied as selective sensor to distinguish malate anion from other carboxylate anions in an aqueous solution.•The binding constants were calculated and binding mechanism was given.

Synthesis and chiral recognition of novel chiral fluorescence receptors bearing 9-anthryl moieties

AbstractTwo chiral fluorescence receptors 1 and 2 have been synthesized, and their structures characterized by IR, 1H NMR, MS spectra and elemental analysis. The chiral recognition of the receptors was studied by 1H NMR and fluorescence spectra. The results demonstrate that the receptors and tetrabutylammonium mandelate formed a 1:1 complex. Two receptors exhibit good chiral recognition abilities towards the enantiomers of tetrabutylammonium mandelate.

Enantioselective recognition by optically active chiral fluorescence sensors bearing amino acid units

AbstractChiral fluorescence receptors 1 and 2 were synthesized and their structures characterized by IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, MS spectra, and elemental analysis. The chiral recognition abilities of 1 and 2 were studied by 1H NMR and fluorescence spectra. The results demonstrate that receptors 1 and 2 with bis(tetrabutylammonium) dibenzoyl tartrate formed a 1:1 complex. Receptor 2 exhibits an excellent enantioselective recognition ability toward the enantiomers of bis(tetrabutylammonium) dibenzoyl tartrate.
