The ability of the new chemosensor for detection of some main and transition metal ions was studied by UV-Vis spectroscopy in the mixture of DMSO: water (9:1). Upon addition of Ca2+ and Cd2+ ions, dramatic changes were observed in the UV-Vis spectrum of ligand (one new absorbance band appeared in the range of 430- 450 nm, while the absorbance band at 351 nm disappeared). The stoichiometry of the complexes was determined using the Job method. The binding constants of Ca2+ and Cd2+ with receptor by Benesi-Hildebrand plots were found to be 2.874×104 M-1 and 6.445×104 M-1, respectively. The results indicated the receptor can recognize Ca2+ and Cd2+ ions from other cations in aqueous solution. Finally, the structure and electronic properties of the ligand and its complexes with Ca2+ and Cd2+ ions were analyzed by DFT and TD-DFT calculations.}, keywords = {Azo-azomethine ligand,UV-Vis spectroscopy,Chemosensor,DFT calculations}, url = {https://www.analchemres.org/article_107804.html}, eprint = {https://www.analchemres.org/article_107804_2487ce948c2ed8da224c2e6c219a0261.pdf} }
