Abstract

The hexadentate nitrogen ligands 1-isoTQEN (N,N,N’,N’-tetrakis(1-isoquinolylmethyl)ethylenediamine) and 3-isoTQEN (N,N,N’,N’-tetrakis(3-isoquinolylmethyl)ethylenediamine) have been prepared. The structures of these ligands are based on that of TPEN (N,N,N’,N’-tetrakis(2-pyridylmethyl)ethylenediamine). The introduction of a benzene ring into TPEN affords fluorescence ability upon zinc-ion binding. Compared to the quinoline isomer TQEN, isoquinoline derivatives 1-isoTQEN and 3-isoTQEN exhibit a lower-energy shift in the excitation and emission wavelengths and an enhanced fluorescence intensity, probably because of the energy-transfer mechanism between adjacent isoquinoline rings. Importantly, an increase in the Zn2+/Cd2+ discriminating ability and a reduction in the background fluorescence induced by pH were also achieved for isoquinoline derivatives. The zinc-ion-induced fluorescence of these isoTQENs was not quenched by an addition of TPEN, which demonstrates the significantly high zinc-ion binding ability of these isoTQEN ligands.

Spring, Injae Shin and Juyoung YoonJournal of the American Chemical Society2010 132 (2), 601-610It is still a significant challenge to develop a Zn2+-selective fluorescent sensor with the ability to exclude the interference of some heavy and transition metal (HTM) ions such as Fe2+, Co2+, Ni2+, Cu2+, Cd2+, and Hg2+. Herein, we report a novel amide-...
