A benzothiazole-rhodol based luminophor: ESIPT-induced AIE and an application for detecting Fe2+ ion

Add time:08/18/2019    Source:sciencedirect.com

Herein, we designed and synthesized a luminophor, Rh-F, which is an intergrant of rhodol and 2-hydroxy benzothiazole by introducing a benzothiazole unit onto the ortho-position of the phenolic hydroxy of rhodol. Rh-F exhibited excellent fluorescence properties such as a large Stokes shift (>180 nm) and the synergistic effect of aggregation-induced emission (AIE) and an excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) feature. The AIE/ESIPT mechanism was thoroughly explored using X-ray single-crystal structures and photophysical determinations. Furthermore, Rh-F showed a sensitive fluorescence response to Fe2+ with low detection limits of 115.2 nM and high selectivity. Studies of its sensing mechanism indicated that the Fe2+-induced blue-green fluorescence-quenched at 525 nm originates from an irreversible Fe2+ chelate with the oxygen atom of the hydroxyl group and the N atom of the benzothiazole moiety. This blocked the ESIPT process of Rh-F which resulted in the quenching of the fluorescence sensor for Rh-F.
