Glyphosate sensing in aqueous solutions by fluorescent zinc(II) complexes of [9]aneN 3 -based receptors
Herein we describe the binding abilities of Zn(II) complexes of [12]aneN - (L1) and [9]aneN -based receptors (L2, L3) towards the herbicides -(phosphonomethyl)glycine (glyphosate, H PMG) and 2-amino-4-[hydroxy(methyl)phosphoryl]butanoic acid (glufosinate, H GLU), and also aminomethylphosphonic acid...

Summary: | Herein we describe the binding abilities of Zn(II) complexes of [12]aneN
- (L1) and [9]aneN
-based receptors (L2, L3) towards the herbicides
-(phosphonomethyl)glycine (glyphosate, H
PMG) and 2-amino-4-[hydroxy(methyl)phosphoryl]butanoic acid (glufosinate, H
GLU), and also aminomethylphosphonic acid (H
AMPA), the main metabolite of H
PMG, and phosphate. All ligands form stable Zn(II) complexes, whose coordination geometries allow a possible interaction of the metal center with exogenous anionic substrates. Potentiometric studies evidenced the marked coordination ability of the L2/Zn(II) system for the analytes considered, with a preferential binding affinity for H
PMG over the other substrates, in a wide range of pH values.
H and
P NMR experiments supported the effective coordination of such substrates by the Zn(II) complex of L2, while fluorescence titrations and a test strip experiment were performed to evaluate whether the H
PMG recognition processes could be detected by fluorescence signaling. |
