Abstract
The synthesis, electrochemical, optical, and metal-cation-sensing properties of ferrocene–glycine conjugates C30H38O8N8Fe (2) and C20H24O4N4Fe (3) have been documented. Both compounds 2 and 3 behave as very selective redox (ΔE1/2 = 217 mV for 2 and ΔE1/2 = 160 mV for 3), chromogenic, and fluorescent chemosensors for Hg2+ cations in an aqueous environment. The considerable changes in their absorption spectra are accompanied by the appearance of a new low-energy peak at 630 nm (2, ε = 1600 M–1cm–1; 3, ε = 822 M–1cm–1). This is also accompanied by a strong color change from yellow to purple, which allows a prospective for the “naked eye” detection of Hg2+ cations. These chemosensors present immense brightness and fluorescence enhancement (chelation-enhanced fluorescence = 91 for 2 and 42 for 3) following Hg2+ coordination within the limit of detection for Hg2+ at 7.5 parts per billion.
