Colorimetric Chemosensor for Cu²⁺ and Fe³⁺ Based on a meso-Triphenylamine-BODIPY Derivative.

ABSTRACT: Optical chemosensors are a practical tool for the detection and quantification of important analytes in biological and environmental fields, such as Cu²⁺ and Fe³⁺. To the best of our knowledge, a BODIPY derivative capable of detecting Cu²⁺ and Fe³⁺ simultaneously through a colorimetric response has not yet been described in the literature. In this work, a meso-triphenylamine-BODIPY derivative is reported for the highly selective detection of Cu²⁺ and Fe³⁺. In the preliminary chemosensing study, this compound showed a significant color change from yellow to blue-green in the presence of Cu²⁺ and Fe³⁺. With only one equivalent of cation, a change in the absorption band of the compound and the appea
