摘要

A new Schiff base, acenaphthoquinone bis(diphenylmethlenehydrazone) (L), was synthesized and employed as a chemosensor for detecting Ag(I) and Cu(I). Experimental results showed that the chemosensor exhibited high selectivity and sensitivity. The sensitivity of the chemosensor for Ag(I) or Cu(I) was not affected by other metal ions, such as Ni(II), Nd(III), Zn(II), Fe(III), Cu(II), Na(I), La(III), K(I), and Co(II). Complexes 1 and 2 were synthesized by coordination of L with Ag(I) and Cu(I), respectively. The crystal structures of 1 and 2 were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. They had the same space group P2(1)/c. Based on theoretical calculation, mechanism of the chemosensor detecting Ag(I) and Cu(I) was suggested. [GRAPHICS] .
