RT journal article T1 A New Fluorescent Sensor for the Determination of Iron(III) in Semi-Aqueous Solution A1 Casanueva Marenco, María José A1 Fowley, Colin A1 W. Hyland, Barry A1 Galindo Riaño, María Dolores A1 K. Sahoo, Suban A1 F. Callan, John A2 Química Analítica K1 Schiff base K1 Fluorescence K1 Sensor K1 Iron(III) AB A simple fluorescent sensor 1 has been developed for the recognition of Fe(III) in semi-aqueous solution at pH 7.0. The sensor, containing two Schiff base type receptors directly connected to naphthalene fluorophores, shows a concentration dependent decrease in emission intensity upon Fe(III) addition. The sensor was selective for Fe(III) over other metal ions and can measure Fe(III) ion concentration between 0.05 and 0.12 mM. The binding stoichiometry was established as 1:1 (host: guest) with a binding constant (Logβ) of 4.01. Furthermore, the additionof Fe(III) to a solution of 1 caused a colour change from light yellow to colourless meaning 1 is also capable ofdetecting Fe(III) by the naked eye.
