The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

Two water-soluble phenyl beta-aminobisulfonate ligands were synthesised and characterised by spectroscopic techniques including UV-visible absorption, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and H-1 NMR spectroscopy. The acid-base and complexometric binding properties were studied in water and methanol, respectively. Single crystal X-ray crystallography was used to elucidate the solid-state properties. The pK(a)s of the phenyl beta-aminobisulfonate 1 and methoxyphenyl b-aminobisulfonate 2 were evaluated to be 3.1 and 4.4, respectively. UV-visible, EPR and NMR spectroscopy provide direct evidence for complexation of 2 with Cu2+ in methanol due to coordination with the pendant methoxy moiety. The EPR and NMR data of 1 show evidence for some interaction, although no such conclusion could be derived from the UV-visible absorption spectra. The results highlight the potential of phenyl beta-aminobisulfonates as building blocks for developing water-soluble pH and cation chemosensors.
