合成了上缘含双吲哚基团的杯[4]芳烃衍生物5,17-双吲哚甲基-25,27-二丙氧基-26,28-二羟基杯[4]芳烃(2),通过UV-Vis光谱研究了它对各种金属离子的化学传感行为.结果表明,主体2对Hg^2+具有良好的选择性,向主体2的溶液中加入Hg^2+离子,其吸收光谱在500nm左右出现了一个新的吸收峰,同时溶液颜色也由无色变为橙色.因此,化合物2有望作为一种新型的化学传感器用于检测Hg2+.
A calix[4]arene derivative(2)possessing bis(indolyl)groups was synthesized in satisfied yield,and further its response to metal ions was investigated by the means of UV-Vis spectrometry.The results obtained show that host 2 displays a high sensitivity to Hg2+.The addition of Hg2+ made the absorption spectrum of host 2 appear a new band around ca.500 nm,and caused obvious color change of solution from colorless to orange-yellow.Hence,the detection of Hg2+ can be easily found by naked eyes.Calixarene 2 may be used for the application as Hg2+-selective chemosensor,even in aqueous solution.
