Abstract

Novel fluorescent ionophores bearing imidazo-arylthienyl or imidazo-bithienyl π-conjugated bridges functionalized with one or two fused benzo-15-crown-5 ethers as receptor units are reported. The sensing ability of the compounds in the presence of metallic cations (Li+, Na +, K+, Ca2+, Zn2+, Cu2+, Ni2+, Pd2+, and Hg2+) and fluoride ion was studied in MeCN/DMSO solutions by absorption and emission spectroscopy. The experimental results indicate that all compounds could act as selective fluorimetric sensors for Cu2+ and Pd2+ and also for the fluoride ion, in the case of the bis-substituted crown ether derivatives. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.
