Synthesis and Characterization of a meso-Anthracene-BODIPY Derivative for Colorimetric Recognition of Cu2+ and Fe3+

Abstract

Ions exist widely in biological and environmental media, and the scarcity or excess of these species can have adverse consequences. BODIPY dyes appear as heterocyclic organic compounds capable of recognizing metal ions in solution and in cells, through optical signals (colorimetric and/or fluorimetric), and their photophysical properties can be adjusted through the functionalization of the BODIPY core. In continuation of the work developed recently, our research group reports the synthesis of a meso-anthracene-BODIPY derivative and the respective characterization by 1 H and 13 C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and UV-Vis absorption spectroscopies. The preliminary study of the chemosensory capacity of the BODIPY derivative was also carried out in the presence of several cations in acetonitrile solution which shows a selective colorimetric response for Cu 2+ and Fe 3+ .
