| description | Industrial activity has raised significant concerns regarding the widespread pollution caused by metal ions, contaminating ecosystems and causing adverse effects on human health. Therefore, the development of sensors for selective and sensitive detection of these analytes is extremely important. In this regard, an azo dye, Dabcyl <b>2</b>, was synthesised and investigated for sensing metal ions with environmental and industrial relevance. The cation binding character of <b>2</b> was evaluated by colour changes as seen by the naked eye, UV-Vis and <sup>1</sup>H NMR titrations in aqueous mixtures of SDS (0.02 M, pH 6) solution with acetonitrile (99:1, <i>v</i>/<i>v</i>). Out of the several cations tested, chemosensor <b>2</b> had a selective response for Pd<sup>2+</sup>, Sn<sup>2+</sup> and Fe<sup>3+</sup>, showing a remarkable colour change visible to the naked eye and large bathochromic shifts in the UV-Vis spectrum of <b>2</b>. This compound was very sensitive for Pd<sup>2+</sup>, Sn<sup>2+</sup> and Fe<sup>3+</sup>, with a detection limit as low as 5.4 × 10<sup>−8</sup> M, 1.3 × 10<sup>−7</sup> M and 5.2 × 10<sup>−8</sup> M, respectively. Moreover, comparative studies revealed that chemosensor <b>2</b> had high selectivity towards Pd<sup>2+</sup> even in the presence of other metal ions in SDS aqueous mixtures. |
