Abstract
Abstract
A novel pyrene-based fluorescent chemosensor 1
(pyren-1-ylmethyl)-L-phenylalanine was designed and synthesized by
combining 1-pyrenecarboxyaldehyde and L-phenylalanine.
1 was characterized by several analytical methods
and used as a fluorescent chemosensor for the selective and
sensitive detection of Cu2+ ions through
“turn-off” mechanism with a detection limit of 2 x
10− 8 M. 1 can also be used to detect
Cu2+ ions in a natural water sample and exhibits
gelation properties with high thermal stability.
