Abstract

Lead ions are among the most harmful and widely studied toxins responsible for a wide range of health and environmental risks. The objective of this study was to synthesize a naphthol based optical chemosensor for the detection of lead ions. A naphthol based organic probe 1-(acetylamino(2-chlorophenyl)methyl)-2-naphthol (NCC) has been synthesized by the condensation reaction of -naphthol with -chlorobenzaldehyde in the presence of chlorosulfonic acid and characterized using various spectroscopic techniques. The probe NCC was subjected to evaluate its potential for the recognition of different mono, di, and trivalent cations in the acetonitrilic medium using UV-Visible spectroscopy. The chemosensing behaviour of NCC was analyzed under various pH, temperature, and time and also in the presence of interfering ions. The results showed an increment in the λ at 230 nm with a small blue shift of 2 nm after the addition of Pb2+ ions to the solution of NCC. Under the optimum conditions, the detection limit and association constant of NCC for Pb2+ ions were calculated to be 28.0 ppm and 8.1103 M-1 using titration studies. The addition of NaEDTA quenches the absorption intensity of the NCC-Pb2+ complex, indicating that NCC serves as a reversible chemosensor for Pb2+ ions. The changes in the UV-visible spectrum of NCC in the presence of Pb2+ ions suggests the interaction of NCC with Pb2+ ions and the formation of a complex, which was found stable for a long period of time in the tested temperature range (5-45 °C). The skeleton reported in this work showed excellent suitability for the detection and determination of Pb2+ with minimal interference from other common cations and anions.
