Synthesis of Optode Thin Layer using Sol Gel Hybrid of Trietoxysiloxane monomer and 3-(Trimethoxysilyl) Propilamine with Ionophore 4-(2-Pyridilazo)-1,3-Benzenadiol (PAR)

Optode (Optical sensors) is one of the modern chemical sensors in the field of analytical chemistry that has utilized of inorganic polymers. The optode based on MLCT (Metal to Ligand Charge Transfer) (or MMLL'CT, Mixing Metal-Ligand to Ligand Charge Transfer) or LMCT (Ligand to Metal Charge Transfer) phenomenons have beed generated from oktyltrietxysilane, aminopropyltrimethoxysilane and 4-(2-pyrydilazo) resorcinol (abbreviated as OTES-APTS-PAR) for Cu(II), Cr(III), Ni(II), Fe(III), Cd(II), and Zn(II) ions target. The syntheses of thin layer optode were performed by sol gel method followed by evaporation in glass substrat. The formation of 4-(2-pyrydilazo) resorcinol complexes with ions target have gained strong absorption spectras in visible region because of charge transfer phenomenons. The optical sensor of OTES-APTS-PAR was analysed thermal properties using Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA). DTA thermogram showed a glass transition peaks at a temperature of 315.5 °C. Fourier transform Infrared (FTIR) spectras have showed that the optode materials consisted NH aryl groups indicated IR absorption at 1577.7 cm-1 and also –CH aromatic at 1469.0 cm-1. Synthesized optode materials have strong broad visible absorption with the maximum wavelengths (λmax) = 405 nm and 508.5 nm, respectively. This material have excellent optical responds to several metal ions such as Cu(II), Cr(III), Ni(II), Fe(III), Cd(II), and Zn(II) that was showed from huge Δλmax and the increase of Ktotal
