Two new d10-metal dithiophosphate complexes have been synthesized in purely aqueous media and characterized by elemental and spectral analyses. DFT calculations, QTAIM and NCI Plot index methods are preformed to differentiate the coordination and spodium bonds in the complexes.

AbstractHighly selective and sensitive 2,7-naphthyridine based colorimetric and fluorescence “Turn Off” chemosensors (L1-L4) for detection of Ni2+ in aqueous media are reported. The receptors (L1-L4) showed a distinct color change from yellow to red by addition of Ni2+ with spectral changes in bands at 535–550 nm. The changes are reversible and pH independent. The detection limits for Ni2+ by (L1-L4) are in the range of 0.2–0.5 µM by UV–Visible data and 0.040–0.47 µM by fluorescence data, which is lower than the permissible value of Ni2+ (1.2 µM) in drinking water defined by EPA. The binding stoichiometries of L1-L4 for Ni2+ were found to be 2:1 through Job’s plot and ESI–MS analysis. Moreover the receptors can be used to quantify Ni2+ in real water samples. Formation of test strips by the dip-stick method increases the practical applicability of the Ni2+ test for “in-the-field” measurements. DFT calculations and AIM analyses supported the experimentally determined 2:1 stoichiometries of complexation. TD-DFT calculations were performed which showed slightly decreased FMO energy gaps due to ligand–metal charge transfer (LMCT).

The hydrodynamic diameter of Aum(pMBA)n clusters in aqueous media was determined by DOSY NMR spectroscopy. The apparent size of the cluster was shown to depend on the counter ion of the deprotonated pMBA− ligand.
