Fluorescence "Turn-off" Sensing of Iron (III) Ions Utilizing Pyrazoline Based Sensor: Experimental and Computational Study

A simple pyrazoline-based ''turn off'' fluorescent sensor 5-(4-methoxyphenyl)-3-(5-methylfuran-2-yl)-1-phenyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazole (PFM) was synthesized and well characterized by different techniques such as FT-IR, ¹H-NMR, ¹³C-NMR, and mass spectrometry. The synthesized sensor PFM was utilized for the detection of Fe³⁺ ions. Fluorescence emission selectively quenched by Fe³⁺ ions compared to other metal ions (Mn²⁺, Al³⁺, Fe²⁺, Hg²⁺, Cu²⁺, Co²⁺, Ni²⁺, Cd²⁺, Pb²⁺, and Zn²⁺) via paramagnetic fluorescence quenching and showed good anti-interference ability over the existence of other tested metals. Under optimum conditions, the fluorescence intensity of sensor quenched by Fe³⁺ in the range of 0 to 3 μM with detection limit of 0.12 μM. Binding of Fe³⁺ ions to PFM solution were studied by fluorescent titration, revealed formation of 1:1 PFM-Fe metal complex and binding constant of complex was found to be of 1.3 × 10⁵ M^-1. Further, the fluorescent sensor has been potentially used for the detection of Fe³⁺ in environmental samples (river water, tap water, and sewage waste water) with satisfactory recovery values of 99-101%.

Treatment with transition metal complexes is an efficient method to fight with cancer. Therefore, a new transition metal complex formulated as [Pd(1, 3-pn)(acac)]Cl (pn and acac stand for propylendiamine and acetylacetonate, respectively) was synthesized and analyzed using ¹H NMR, Fourier transform infrared, electronic absorption spectroscopy techniques as well as elemental analysis and conductivity measurement. The geometry optimization, frontier molecular orbital (FMO) analysis, molecular electrostatic potential (MEP), natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis and nonlinear optical (NLO) property were accomplished by density functional theory (DFT) at B3LYP level with 6-311G(d,p)/aug-cc-pVTZ-PP basis set. Preliminary determination of antitumor activity and lipophilicity of this metal complex was performed experimentally and the promising results were obtained. This encouraged us to study the interaction and binding mode/modes of this complex with DNA as the primary receptor for the chemotropic drugs and BSA as the transporter protein in the circulatory system. For this reason, the binding of newly made complex was assessed in-vitro under physiological state using experimental and in-silico molecular modeling studies. So, the CT-DNA binding study of this complex was explored using spectrofluorometric as well as spectrophotometric techniques, viscosity and gel electrophoresis experiments. Furthermore, fluorescence, UV-Vis, F[Formula: see text]rster resonance energy transfer and circular dichroism studies were carried out for BSA binding. The experimental and computational interaction studies showed that [Pd(1, 3-pn)(acac)]Cl complex binds to the minor groove of CT-DNA and interacts with BSA by van der Waals forces and hydrogen bond.
