Popis: A novel Schiff base chiral macrocycle (C-1) was synthesized by the self-condensation of the dialdehyde of the chiral dinaphtho[2,1-d:1',2'-f] [1] , [3] dioxepine derivative and (1S,2S)-(+)-cyclohexanediamine under template-free conditions in moderate yield. The UV-vis and fluorescence spectral studies indicated that C-1 form the complex with metal ions into a 1:2 ratio based on Job’s plots. The obtained polyimine macrocycle represented an extraordinary fluorescence enhancement of ca 160 times in the presence of Zn2+ due to the PET and CHEF mechanism. The association constant for the C-1−Zn2+ complex was found to be 1.1 × 1010 M–2 and the “turn-on” detection limit of C-1 for the Zn2+ ion was as low as 1.91 nM. The chiral macrocycle C-1 enantioselectively recognized the L-phenyl glycinol than the D-isomer and exhibited a fluorescence enhancement. Furthermore, the in-situ generated Zn2+ containing the C-1−Zn2+ complex recognized the D- phenylalanine rather than the L-isomer and exhibited a “turn-off” response.
