Synthesis of a novel, fluorescent, electroactive and metal ion sensitive thienylpyrrole derivate
Abstract
In this study, a novel, fluorescent, metal ion sensitive monomer called (E)-4-(2,5-di(thiophen-2-yl)-1H-pyrrol-1-yl)-N-(pyren-1-ylmethylene)aniline (PR–SNS) was synthesized. Good fluorescence properties for PR–SNS were successfully achieved, which emits blue. Furthermore, PR–SNS shows sensitive fluorescence changes when interacting with metal ions. The electrochemical properties of P(PR–SNS) were studied via spectroelectrochemistry, kinetic studies, and colorimetry measurements. The novel PR–SNS or its polymer might be a good candidate for the selective sensing of metal ions via smart florescent and electrochemical features.
