Efficient Colorimetric Naked-Eye Detection of Lanthanum (La3+) and Ferrous (Fe2+) Ions Using Pyrazole-Based Schiff Base
摘要
Naked eye optical chemosensors have gained considerable attraction by researchers due to their low cost, selectivity, sensitivity and rapid on the spot detection properties. In this work, a Schiff base “4-(4-(dimethylamino)benzylidene)amino-1,5-dimethyl-2-phenyl-3H-pyrazol-3-one” (DMAB-AAP) was studied for its visual sensing properties to detect heavy metals ions however, it shows discriminating color changes from colorless to lemon yellow and greenish yellow for ferrous (Fe2+) and lanthanum (La3+) ions, which is consistent to red shift from 362 nm to 421 nm and 438 nm having limit of detection
