A novel chemosensor based on rhodamine and azobenzene moieties for selective detection of Al3+ ions

TLDR
In this paper, two dyes, namely rhodamine and azobenzene, have been conjugated for the detection of Al3+ in aqueous ethanol.
Abstract
The high absorption coefficient, fluorescence quantum yield, photo stability and relatively long wavelengths of rhodamine dye have expanded its applicability as a promising fluorescent probe. In the present investigation, two dyes, namely rhodamine and azobenzene, have been conjugated for the detection of Al3+ in aqueous ethanol. The turn on fluorescence response of chemosensor L towards Al3+ is attributed to the inhibited PET (photo-induced electron transfer) and CHEF (chelation enhanced fluorescence) process along with the spirolactam (non-fluorescent) to ring-opened amide (fluorescent) process. The presence of the PET and CHEF process was corroborated by time-resolved photoluminescence study and the spirolactam ring opening was confirmed by 13C NMR and infrared spectroscopy. In the presence of Al3+, the opened spirolactam ring forms a 1 : 1 binding complex with the metal, which is supported by its high binding constant (Ka = 7.033 × 103 M−1). The limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) values are found to be 1.1 × 10−7 M and 3.6 × 10−7 M, respectively. The reversible recognition of Al3+ was also proved in the presence of Na2EDTA by both UV-Vis and fluorometric titration. The sensing behaviour of the chemosensor towards Al3+ was supported by DFT/TDDFT calculations.

Safty evaluation of dietary aluminum

M. G. Soni
TL;DR: Aluminum can be neurotoxic, when injected directly into the brains of animals and when accidentally introduced into human brains (by dialysis or shrapnel), and a study from Canada reports cognitive and other neurological deficits among groups of workers occupationally exposed to dust containing high levels of aluminum as mentioned in this paper.

Density‐functional thermochemistry. III. The role of exact exchange

TL;DR: In this article, a semi-empirical exchange correlation functional with local spin density, gradient, and exact exchange terms was proposed. But this functional performed significantly better than previous functionals with gradient corrections only, and fits experimental atomization energies with an impressively small average absolute deviation of 2.4 kcal/mol.

Development of the Colle-Salvetti correlation-energy formula into a functional of the electron density

TL;DR: Numerical calculations on a number of atoms, positive ions, and molecules, of both open- and closed-shell type, show that density-functional formulas for the correlation energy and correlation potential give correlation energies within a few percent.

Quantum Calculation of Molecular Energies and Energy Gradients in Solution by a Conductor Solvent Model

TL;DR: In this paper, a new implementation of the conductor-like screening solvation model (COSMO) in the GAUSSIAN94 package is presented, which allows Hartree−Fock (HF), density functional (DF) and post-HF energy, and HF and DF gradient calculations: the cavities are modeled on the molecular shape, using recently optimized parameters, and both electrostatic and nonelectrostatic contributions to energies and gradients are considered.

A Spectrophotometric Investigation of the Interaction of Iodine with Aromatic Hydrocarbons

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the position of the absorption bands of iodine solutions in the visible region moved gradually from violet to brown, the shift being only small in the case of benzene in which the color of iodine is a red-violet.
