摘要

A novel fluorescent probe bearing terpyridine unit was successfully synthesized via Kröhnke reaction. Its chemical structure was confirmed by FT-IR spectroscopy, HR-MS and NMR techniques. The theoretical molecular structure of the synthesized compound in the ground state was optimized by B3LYP/def2SVP level of theory. The fluorescent compound exhibits orange-yellow fluorescence and its optical properties were characterized by UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy in DMSO/H2O solution. The conjugated structure, linking donor and acceptor units, displayed a broad and intense absorption band spanning 200 to 400 nm. Theoretical absorption spectra in DMSO/H2O solvent were calculated using the B3LYP/def2SVP method. While the fluorescent compound showed no specific metal ion recognition under neutral pH conditions, it exhibited remarkable selectivity for gallium ions under acidic conditions (pH < 4.0). The binding affinity and fluorescence response of the compound towards Ga3+ were systematically investigated using UV-Vis absorption spectra, fluorescence spectroscopy, and competitive ion experiments. Notably, protonation of the terpyridine moieties under acidic conditions likely enhances Ga3+ coordination while minimizing interference from common coexisting ions (e.g., Al3+, Fe3+), demonstrating the fluorescent probe potential for monitoring Ga3+ in acidic industrial effluents or biological systems. This work provides a strategy for designing pH-switchable probes for selective metal ion sensing.
