Synthesis and functional characteristics of two new yellow-green fluorescent PAMAM dendrimers periphery modified with 1,8-naphthalimides

• Modification of PAMAM dendrimers with 1,8-naphthalimides has been described.
• Photophysical characteristics have been investigated.
• Selectivity and sensitivity to Cu2+ have been obtained.

The synthesis of two new poly(amidoamine) dendrimers from first generation modified with 1,8-naphthalimide fluorescent units is described. Their photophysical characteristics have been investigated in organic solvents of different polarity in order to investigate their sensor potential. Selectivity for detection of cuprum cations has been demonstrated.

The paper describe the synthesis and photophysical characterization of two new modified with 1,8-naphthalimide units PAMAM dendrimers from first generation. One of them shows selectivity and good sensitivity to cuprum cations and protons.Figure optionsDownload as PowerPoint slide
