Poster Title
P-30 Synthesis and Sensing Properties of Imino Stilbene Sensors
Abstract
The goal of this research is to investigate the synthesis and sensing properties of imino stilbenes as a new class of bidentate sensors for toxic metals and organoposphates. To our knowledge, based on literature searches, this class of molecular sensors has not been previously synthesized or studied. A modular two-step synthetic strategy will be used to provide an easy and flexible method for sensor preparation. It allows us to systematically vary and study the effect of structure on sensor selectivity and color. The first step involves synthesis of formylstilbenes by reduction of cyanostilbenes. The second step involves imine formation by reacting 2-picolylamine with a formylstilbene.
