摘要

One new benzo-15-crown-5-modifying fluorene Schiff base (FBC), together with the C=N-linked fluorene-3,4-dimethoxybenzene (FBDMO) and fluorene-benzene (FB) references, has been designed and facilely synthesized. The binding of Cu2+ with nitrogen atom of C=N moiety in these three compounds can inhibit the photo-induced electronic transition process and induce the ratiometric-absorption and fluorescent OFF-ON response to Cu2+. Whereas the employment of benzo-15-crown-5 moiety in FBC as additional binding platform for Cu2+ not only amplifies the fluorescent enhancement of FBC via preventing the isomerization of C=N moiety, but also endows this compound high selectivity and rapid response towards Cu2+ over the references FB and FBDMO. These results render FBC highly sensitive ratiometric-absorption and fluorescent OFF-ON detecting potential for Cu2+ with the detection limit of 3.91 x 10(-6) M.
