A newly synthesized azine-based receptor (L) is found to show remarkable specificity toward the Hg2+ ion in aqueous media over other metal ions. Coordination of L to Hg2+ induces a detectable change in color and a turn-on fluorescence response. Restricted C = N isomerization of the azine moieties in the excited state as well as the Photoinduced Electron Transfer (PET) involving the lone pair of electrons of N1/N2 on coordination of L to the Hg2+ ion account for the turn-on fluorescence response. This reagent could be used for imaging the accumulation of Hg2+ ions in Epithelial cell line KB 31 cells.

A new bis-quinolylimine ligand containing an azadiene moiety, 1,4-bis(2-quinolyl)-2,3-diaza-1,3-buthadiene (1), was synthesized by one-step facile condensation. This simple ligand, when dissolved in acetonitrile, shows a Cu2+-selective fluorescence enhancement. Coordination of 1 with Cu2+ produces two kinds of complexes with 1:1 and 1:2 stoichiometries. The 1:2 complex shows a strong fluorescence (ΦF = 0.37), while the 1:1 complex does not (ΦF 0.01). Ab initio molecular orbital calculation reveals that the 1:1 complex has a distorted structure, while the 1:2 complex has a planar structure. The planar configuration of the 1:2 complex, therefore, allows an extended π-conjugation over the entire molecule and, hence, results in fluorescence enhancement.
