Rational design of aminoanthraquinones for colorimetric detection of heavy metal ions in aqueous solution
A family of water-soluble colorimetric chemosensors incorporating an anthraquinone signalling subunit functionalized with a polyamine chain that bears hydrophilic diethoxyphosphoryl moieties was prepared with the aim of assaying metal cations. The outstanding UV-Vis absorption properties of the 1-aminoanthraquinone chromophore allowed the efficient visual detection and quantification of copper(II) ions by chelators L(1)-L(3) in buffered aqueous solution. Moreover, the visible response of L(2) is not interfered by addition of large excesses of 13 common metal ions, whereas chemosensor L(3) produces also a color change in the presence of equimolar amounts of lead(II). Considering the 134 nm g…
Preparation, characterization and photophysical properties of hybrid materials from rare earth complexes of phosphonato-substituted DOTAM derivatives
Europium complexes [Eu.L]X33 (X = SO3CF3, NO3) of (diethoxyphosphorylnaphthyl)-substituted DOTAM were prepared and incorporated into titania and zirconia inorganic matrices. Zirconia revealed an appropriate matrix to achieve an efficient sensitization of emitting lanthanides.
Synthesis and Self-Organization of Zinc β-(Dialkoxyphosphoryl)porphyrins in the Solid State and in Solution
The first synthesis and self-organization of zinc β-phosphorylporphyrins in the solid state and in solution are reported. β-Dialkoxyphosphoryl-5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrins and their Zn(II) complexes have been synthesized in good yields by using Pd- and Cu-mediated carbon-phosphorous bond-forming reactions. The Cu-mediated reaction allowed to prepare the mono-β-(dialkoxyphosphoryl)porphyrins 1 Zn-3 Zn starting from the β-bromo-substituted zinc porphyrinate ZnTPPBr (TPP = tetraphenylporphyrin) and dialkyl phosphites HP(O)(OR)(2) (R = Et, iPr, nBu). The derivatives 1 Zn-3 Zn were obtained in good yields by using one to three equivalents of CuI. When the reaction was carried out in the pres…
Supramolecular Architectures Based on Phosphonic Acid Diesters
The interest of phosphonic acid dialkyl esters for generation of metal-organic materials is discussed using derivatives of porphyrin and 1,10-phenanthroline series as representative examples.
