Role of Aromatic Moiety in the Probe Property toward Picric Acid: Synthesis, Crystal Structure, Spectroscopy, Microscopy, and Computational Modeling of a Knoevenagel Condensation Product of d-Glucose.

ABSTRACT: Molecular probes for picric acid (PA) in both solution and solid states are important owing to their wide usage in industry. This paper deals with the design and development of a glucosyl conjugate of pyrene (L ₁ ) along with control molecular systems, possessing anthracenyl (L ₂ ), naphtyl (L ₃ ), and phenyl (L ₄ ) moieties, via Knoevenagel condensation of 2,4-pentanedione with d-glucose. The selectivity of L ₁ toward PA has been demonstrated on the basis of fluorescence and absorption spectroscopy, and the species of recognition by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. The role of the aromatic group in the selective receptor property has been addressed among <
