Abstract

A novel switch-on fluorescent receptor for bromide was demonstrated and its binding ability toward anions was investigated by fluorescence spectroscopes and 1H NMR titration experiments. Addition of Br− to a DMSO solution of N,N-di-p-bromophenyl-1,10-phenanthroline-2,9-diamide (1) resulted in an enhancement in fluorescence intensity at 377 nm and 396 nm. Two signaling transduction mechanisms were exploited to rationalize quenching and enhancement of the fluorescence emission: inhibition of a photo-induced electronic transfer mechanism (PET) and anion-induced increase of the rigidity of the host molecule.
