Fluorescent “OFF–ON” Sensors for the Detection of Sn<sup>2+</sup> Ions Based on Amine-Functionalized Rhodamine 6G

These structurally isomeric rhodamine 6G-based amino derivatives are designed to detect Sn<sup>2+</sup> ions. The receptors exhibit rapid fluorescent “turn-on” responses towards Sn<sup>2+</sup>. The absorption (530 nm) and fluorescent intensity (551 nm) of the receptors incre...

description These structurally isomeric rhodamine 6G-based amino derivatives are designed to detect Sn<sup>2+</sup> ions. The receptors exhibit rapid fluorescent “turn-on” responses towards Sn<sup>2+</sup>. The absorption (530 nm) and fluorescent intensity (551 nm) of the receptors increase when increasing the concentration of Sn<sup>2+</sup>. The hydrazine derivative exhibits more rapid sensitivity towards Sn<sup>2+</sup> than the ethylene diamine derivative, indicating that the presence of an alkyl chain in the diamine decreases the sensitivity of the receptors towards Sn<sup>2+</sup>. The presence of carbonyl groups and terminal amino groups strongly influences the sensitivity of the chemosensors toward Sn<sup>2+</sup> by a spirolactam ring-opening mechanism. The receptors exhibit 1:1 complexation with Sn<sup>2+</sup> as evidenced by Job plot, and the corresponding limit of detection was found to be 1.62 × 10<sup>−7</sup> M. The fluorescence images of the receptors and their complexes reveal their potential applications for imaging of Sn<sup>2+</sup> in real/online samples.
