摘要

A new fluorescent chemosensor 2-(2-thiophene)imidazo [4,5,f]-1,10-phenanthroline (L) was prepared and characterized. By adding univalent or divalent metal ions such as Na+, K+, Mg2+, Ba2+, Mn2+, Fe2+, Co2+, Ni2+, Cu2+, Ag+, Zn2+, Cd2+ and Hg2+ ions into the solution of L in DMF under buffered conditions with the working pH ranging from 7.0 to 8.0, we found that L could be used to detect K+ ratiometricly and it could also be applied to sense Co2+ with the phenomenon of fluorescence quenching of L. While the response behavior of L was not discernibly affected by other examined metal ions.
