A novel bispyrazole, 2,6-bis(5-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)-pyridine, was designed and synthesized. The bispyrazole showed extreme selectivity for Ni 2? over other metal ions such as ? in MeOH-H 2 O solution. The sensing sensitivity and binding properties of the bispyrazole for nickel(II) ion were investigated by fluorescent spectroscopic techniques. It was found that the bispyrazole possessed high selectivity and sensitivity toward Ni 2? over other metal ions. The binding stoichiometry was confirmed as 1:1 (bispyrazole/Ni 2? ) by Job plot experiment and the linearity of the Benesi-Hildebrand plot. The binding constants K and thermodynamic parameters (DH, DG, and DS) at different temperatures were obtained. Meanwhile, the detection limit of the bispyrazole for Ni 2? was determined to be 3.25 9 10 -7 mol L -1 .
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
