Resum:
The synthesis of 2-hydroxybenzoyl pyridopyrimidines (M1-M4) has been carried out with 3-formyl chrome derivatives and 6-amino-1-methyluracil to employ them as anion chemosensors. Pyridopyrimidine-based compounds were studied as colorimetric and fluorescent receptors for anion sensing. The observations with naked eye and the data obtained by UV-visible, fluorescence and H-1 NMR spectroscopy demonstrated selectivity for fluoride, acetate and cyanides among the pool of different anions. However, the spectral data involving fluoride anion showed particularly sharp and strong interactions. In sensing process, the binding of pyridopyrimidine amino (NH) and hydroxyl groups (OH) via hydrogen bonding F center dot center dot center dot center dot H-N/-O induced the colorimetric and turn off fluorescent response. The binding mode of action was further studied by H-1 NMR titrations that supported gradual deprotonation mechanism. The fluoride ion detection limit was in the range of 3.51 x 10(-8) M to 1.77 x 10(-6) M for probes M1-M4 and were lower than the maximum permissible concentration of F- ion in drinking water (5.3 x 10(-3) M) set by World Health Organization (WHO) that was found to be influenced by the nature of aromatic substituents. Theoretical study of receptor interactions with fluoride anion via O-H and N-H groups was also carried out at the quantum mechanical level. (C) 2019 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
