AbstractDespite continuous and active development of fluorescent metal-ion probes, their molecular design for ratiometric detection is restricted by the limited choice of available sensing mechanisms. Here we present a multicolor and ratiometric fluorescent sensing platform for metal ions based on the interaction between the metal ion and the aromatic ring of a fluorophore (arene–metal-ion, AM, coordination). Our molecular design provided the probes possessing a 1,9-bis(2′-pyridyl)-2,5,8-triazanonane as a flexible metal ion binding unit attached to a tricyclic fluorophore. This architecture allows to sense various metal ions, such as Zn(II), Cu(II), Cd(II), Ag(I), and Hg(II) with emission red-shifts. We showed that this probe design is applicable to a series of tricyclic fluorophores, which allow ratiometric detection of the metal ions from the blue to the near-infrared wavelengths. X-ray crystallography and theoretical calculations indicate that the coordinated metal ion has van der Waals contact with the fluorophore, perturbing the dye’s electronic structure and ring conformation to induce the emission red-shift. A set of the probes was useful for the differential sensing of eight metal ions in a one-pot single titration via principal component analysis. We also demonstrate that a xanthene fluorophore is applicable to the ratiometric imaging of metal ions under live-cell conditions.

A series of tris(3-hydroxy-2-methyl-4-pyridinonato)metal(III) and tris(3-hydroxy-6-hydroxymethyl-4-pyridinonato)metal(III) complexes have been prepared in water by one-pot synthesis directly from maltol and kojic acid, respectively, and the metal ion (M = Al, Ga, In) with an appropriate amine. The pyridinones have substituents at the ring nitrogen atom (CH3, C2H5). The tris(3-hydroxy-4-pyronato)metal(III) complexes are formed insitu and these undergo nucleophilic attack by the primary amine; the appropriate tris(3-hydroxy-4-pyridinonato)metal(III) complexes are obtained. This method bypasses the sequential syntheses of ligand and metal complex, and has improved the yields of the tris(ligand)metal complexes, in particular by making them much more easily accessible. The electronic effects of binding the pyrone to the metal ions and of the substituents on the pyrone ring on the reactivity are discussed. Keywords: 3-hydroxy-4 pyridinone complexes, group 13 metal ions, one-pot synthesis.

Abstract Despite continuous active development of fluorescent probes for metal-ions, their molecular design for ratiometric detection is limited owing to a narrow choice of available sensing mechanisms. We present herein a dual-emission sensing platform for metal ions based on contact interaction between a coordinated metal ion and the aromatic ring of a fluorophore (i.e., arene–metal-ion contact). Our structure-based ligand design provided a new probe possessing BPTN as the metal ion binding unit, which was flexibly concatenated to a tricyclic fluorophore. This molecular architecture allowed us to fluorescently sense various metal ions such as Zn(II), Cu(II), Cd(II), Ag(I), and Hg(II) with the red-shifted emissions. This probe design was applicable to a series of tricyclic fluorophores, enabling ratiometric detection of the metal ions across the blue to near-infrared wavelength region. X-ray crystallography and theoretical computational calculation indicated that the coordinated metal ion has van der Waals contact with the fluorophore, which perturbs its electronic structure and ring conformation to induce the emission red-shift. A set of the arene–metal-ion contact probes was used for the differential sensing of eight metal ions in a one-pot single titration via PCA analysis. Furthermore, the probe was applicable to the ratio imaging of metal ions under live-cell conditions.
