Complexation and fluorescence behavior of a copolymer bearing azacrown ether and anthracene moieties
2011
Abstract Copolymers bearing azacrown ether and anthracene moieties were synthesized using methacrylates of N -2-ethyl-azacrown ether or 9-hydroxymethylanthracene. Their fluorescence behaviors in the presence of alkali metal ions were measured in THF:H 2 O = 10:1 solution. Maximum fluorescence intensities for copolymers bearing aza-12-crown-4, 15-crown-5 and 18-crown-6 were observed for with Na + , K + and K + , respectively. The largest change in fluorescence behavior was observed for the copolymer bearing aza-18-crown-6 in the presence of K + . The magnitude of the increase in the fluorescence intensity was related to the content of the crown ether moiety. The time-dependent changes in the fluorescence spectra using photo-irradiation were also investigated.
