Click synthesis of a quinoline-functionalized hexahomotrioxacalix[3]arene: A turn-on fluorescence chemosensor for Fe3+

Click synthesis of a quinoline-functionalized hexahomotrioxacalix[3]arene: A turn-on fluorescence chemosensor for Fe3+
A novel quinoline-functionalized hexahomotrioxacalix[3]arene L was synthesized via Click chemistry and its chemosensing properties with various metal ions were investigated. The chemosensor L exhibited a high selectivity for Fe3+ with little interference from other environmentally and biologically relevant metal ions, leading to a prominent ‘off-on’ type fluorescent signalling behaviour. Our studies demonstrated that the detection limit on fluorescence response of the sensor to Fe3+ is in the 10−7 M range. The mechanism of the interaction between the L and Fe3+ has been investigated in detail by 1H NMR spectroscopic titration experiments.
