A New bis(rhodamine)-Based Colorimetric Chemosensor for Cu².

ABSTRACT: A novel sensor (RD) bearing rhodamine B and 4-tert-Butyl phenol unit have been designed and synthesized using microwave irradiation. The sensor allows selective detection of Cu²⁺ by forming absorptive complex and trigger the formation of highly colored ring-open spirolactam. The recognition ability of the sensor was investigated by absorbance, Job's plot, infrared (IR) and time dependent-density functional theory (TD-DFT) calculations.
