Novel fluorescent sensor for silver (I) based on the 3,4-bis-triazole Bodipy via dual-click chemistry

This investigation paper relates with a novel dual-Bodipy derivative obtained by using ‘click’ chemistry. The synthesized compounds were characterized by some techniques as 1H NMR, 13C NMR, 11B-NMR, 19F NMR, FT-IR, Uv–vis, spectrofluorimetry, mass, elemental analysis, melting point. The photophysical measurements were conducted on 4,4-difluoro-8-(4-(3-{8-{3,4-Bis{1,2,3 triazolomethoxy}benzaldehyde)}propoxy))phenyl-4-bora-3a,4a, diaza-s-indacene (Bodipy-T) in presence of different metal ions. General trends were performed for emission, absorption, excitation, complex stoichiometry, different concentrations, competing ion, binding constants etc. in methanolic medium. Bodipy-T can be potentially served as a sensitive and selective ratiometric sensor for Ag (I) ion, moreover, it includes a modifiable group (aldehyde) for the preparing of its new derivatives.
