Abstract

Currently considerable research both in life and in environmental sciences is dedicated to chemosensors able to detect metals of biological interest such as zinc and iron or other toxic and carcinogenic, as cadmium, mercury, chromium, lead. Recently, a new chemosensor strategy of “single chemosensor for multiple metals” has emerged. For this scope, many fluorescent sensors for Cd(II) and Zn(II) have been designed and synthetized, as ligand systems or in polymeric matrices [1], [2], [3]. The data presented in this article include experimental data on the of a pyridyl/phenolic/benzothiazole functionalized colorimetric receptor (BPAP) and its selectively recognise Fe(III) and Fe(II) ions with visible, naked eye colour changes and fluorometric selectivity towards Zn2+ and Cd2+ ions in aqueous medium.

This article is submitted as a companion paper to Caruso et al. (2018) [4].

1. Data

The data presented in this article are related to the research article entitled “A real-time tripodal colorimetric/fluorescence sensor for multiple target metal ions” [4]. Recently an impressive progress has been done toward the design and synthesis of novel sensitive ligands and fluorescent materials [5], [6], [7], [8]. The data presented here include experimental data on the of a pyridyl/phenolic/benzothiazole functionalized colorimetric receptor (BPAP) and its selectively recognise Fe(III) and Fe(II) ions with visible, naked eye colour changes and fluorometric selectivity towards Zn2+ and Cd2+ ions in aqueous medium.

The following data are a necessary support for the identification of materials and properties of the ligand system and its complexes.

2. Experimental design, materials and methods

Structural analysis of single crystals of ligand and its Zinc complex has been performed on a BrukerNoniusKappaCCD diffractometer equipped with Oxford Cryostream apparatus (graphite monochromated MoKα radiation, λ = 0.71073 Å, CCD rotation images, thick slices, φ and ω scans to fill asymmetric unit). Semiempirical absorption corrections (SADABS [9]) were applied. Both the two structures were solved by direct methods (SIR97 program [10]) and anisotropically refined by the full matrix least-squares method on F2 against all independent measured reflections using SHELXL-2016 [11] and WinGX software [12]. Crystal data and structure refinement details are reported in Table 1. Relevant bond lengths and angle are reported in Table 2. The figures were generated using ORTEP-3 [13] and Mercury CSD 3.9 [14] programs. Molecular structure of BPAP along a axis is shown in Fig. 1. Molecular structure of the complex Zn-BPAP along c axis is shown in Fig. 2.

Job׳s plot measurement of Zn2+ and Cd2+ (Fig. 6) has been performed on 500μM solutions of Zn(II) chloride (or Cd(II) chloride) in bidistilled water (pH 6.25) and 500μM of BPAP in ethanol. Volumes of 3.00, 2.75, 2.50, 2.00, 1.50, 1.00, 0.50, 0.25 and 0 mL of the solution of ligand were taken and transferred to vials and volumes of 0, 0.25, 0.50, 1.00, 1.50, 2.00, 2.50, 2.75, 3.00 mL of metal ion added, each vial having a total volume of 3.0 mL. Fluorescence spectra were recorded at room temperature after shaking each vial for a few seconds.
