Zn 2+ -Ion Sensing by Fluorescent Schiff Base Calix[4]arene Macrocycles.

A macrocyclic ligand (H2 L) containing two o,o'-bis(iminomethyl)phenol and two calix[4]arene head units has been synthesized and its coordination chemistry towards divalent Ni and Zn investigated. The new macrocycle forms complexes of composition [ML] (M=Zn, M=Ni) and [ZnL(py)2 ], which were characterized by elemental analysis; IR, UV/Vis, and NMR spectroscopy; electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS); and X-ray crystallography (for [ZnL(py)2 ] and [NiL]). H2 L allows the sensitive optical detection of Zn2+ among a series of biologically relevant metal ions by a dual fluorescence enhancement/quenching effect in solution. The fluorescence intensity of the macrocycle increases by a factor of ten in the presence of Zn2+ with a detection limit in the lower nanomolar region.
