π-Extended di-2-picolylamine (DPA)-substituted 8-hydroxyquinoline (8-HQ) tolans () were synthesized for testing electronic and regio-effects. The electron-poor CN-tolan () showed clear selectivity for Cd (>>Zn) over other metal ions via turn-on fluorescence, while the electron-rich MeO-tolan () displayed no clear metal selectivity. Furthermore, considering that there was no significant energy difference between the Cd complexes of and , the intended regio-effect (7- vs. 5-substituted effect) did not induce steric hindrance. Thus, the regio-effect is mainly electronic. Considering the above, and constitute a complete showcase in which electronic and regio-effects modulate the metal selectivity. The fluorescence titration of (10 mM) with Cd showed that the limit of detection (LOD) of the Cd-selective was 158 nM in PBS (phosphate-buffered saline) (10 mM, pH 7.2) containing 50% MeOH.
π-扩展的二-2-吡啶基胺(DPA)取代的 8-羟基喹啉(8-HQ)托兰()被合成以测试电子和区域效应。缺电子的 CN-托兰()通过开启荧光显示出对 Cd(>>Zn)相对于其他金属离子的明显选择性,而富电子的 MeO-托兰()则没有显示出明显的金属选择性。此外,考虑到和的 Cd 配合物之间没有明显的能量差异,预期的区域效应(7-取代与 5-取代效应)不会引起空间位阻。因此,区域效应主要是电子的。考虑到上述情况,和构成了一个完整的范例,其中电子和区域效应调节金属选择性。用 Cd 对(10 mM)进行荧光滴定表明,Cd 选择性的的检测限(LOD)在 PBS(磷酸盐缓冲盐水)(10 mM,pH 7.2)中含有 50% MeOH 时为 158 nM。
