By molecular design, a new phenanthro[9,10-d]imidazole-based compound was synthesized, which exhibited strong emissive properties at 462 nm and showed a unique fluorescent turn-off for Cu2+ ion with a low detection limit. This study suggests that the phenanthro[9,10-d]imidazole-derivative could serve as a selective fluorescence and visual sensor platform for Cu2+ ion.
Through molecular design of a new phenanthro[9,10-d]imidazole-based compound, the probe 4-VB-PI-DMBA (4-VB-PI-DMBA = N,N-dimethyl-4-(1-(4- vinylbenzyl)-1H-phenanthro[9,10-d]imidazole-2-yl)aniline) strongly emissive at lambda em = 462 nm, is capable of the uniquely fluorescent turn-off for Cu2+ ion with a detection limit of 30.2 nM. This result shows that the phenanthro[9,10-d]imidazole-derivative with a twisting structure and without proton-donating groups, renders a selective fluorescence and visual sensor platform to Cu2+ ion.
