    Abstract:
    A novel fluorescent chemical sensor for the highly sensitive and selective determination of Fe(3+) ions in aqueous solutions is prepared. The iron sensing system was prepared by incorporating 5-(8-hydroxy-2-quinolinylmethyl)-2,8-dithia-5-aza-2,6-pyridinophane (L) as a neutral Fe(3+)-selective fluoroionophore in the plasticized PVC membrane containing sodium tetraphenylborate as a liphophilic anionic additive. The response of the sensor is based on the strong fluorescence quenching of L by Fe(3+) ions. At pH 5.5, the proposed sensor displays a calibration curve over a wide concentration range from 6.0 × 10(-4) to 1.0 × 10(-7) M, with a relatively fast response time of less than 2 min. In addition to a high stability and reproducibility, the sensor shows a unique selectivity toward Fe(3+) ion with respect to common coexisting cations. The proposed fluorescence optode was applied to the determination of iron(III) content of straw of rice, spinach and different water samples. The fluorescent sensor was also used as a novel probe for Fe(3+)/Fe(2+) speciation in aqueous solution.
