Abstract(s)

Calix[4]arene has been widely exploited as the basic molecular framework for many fluorescent chemosensors in the construction of selective binding sites given its structural rigidity (particularly important when the recognition and reporting events are to be undertaken in fluid phase), various conformations, and facile introduction of fluorophores. Exploring the inherent capabilities of certain fluorescent calixarene scaffolds for establishing strong host:guest interactions, several sensing materials have been recently developed by us [1]. In the same line of research new bicyclic calix[4]arene-based fluorescent chemosensors containing amides as coordination sites (ionophore) and carbazole segments as fluorescent signaling moieties (CALIX-AMD-CBZ) are being developed and that are expected to have high ability toward the detection of metallic cations in solution. However its complex synthesis and characterization has led to the use of a similar compound based on narrow rim 1,3-oxacyclophane tethered calix[4]arene derivatives integrating the same fluorescent segments (CALIX-OCP-2-CBZ) [2] as fluorophore in the present communication. Herein we report the most significant photophysical properties and sensory capabilities of CALIX-OCP-2-CBZ towards divalent ions (Cd2+, Cu2+, Hg2+, Pb2+) by fluorescence spectroscopy in fluid phase.
