We report, in this article, a piperidin-4-one derivative carrying pyrenyl fluorescent reporter groups which acts as a Cd ion sensor. The compound is synthesized and characterized using IR and NMR spectral techniques. The compound forms an inclusion complex with β-cyclodextrin. It selectively binds to Cd ions in water and aqueous β-cyclodextrin media. The stoichiometry of the host-guest complex of the compound with β-cyclodextrin is 1:2. The ligand-metal ion binding stoichiometry is 1:1 both in water and in β-cyclodextrin. The linear concentration range of detection of the metal ion is reported. Cyclodextrin complex formation does not affect the metal ion selectivity of the compound.
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.
