Abstract
This study focuses on the development and characterization of a series of six new dansyl derivatives (L1 to L6) and their integration into PMMA polymers for application in environmental sensing. The photophysical properties of these derivatives were extensively studied in various solvents and in solid state. A remarkable positive solvatochromic effect was observed, indicating their potential in microenvironmental polarity assessment. The dansyl derivatives demonstrated selective sensing capabilities for Cu2+ and Hg2+ metal ions, with the formation of mononuclear species. Additionally, their acid-base responsive nature was explored, revealing potential for pH-sensitive applications. The incorporation of these derivatives into PMMA polymers resulted in acid-base sensitive materials suitable for environmental monitoring, particularly in detecting hazardous gases and changes in pH levels. This integration overcomes the solubility limitations of dansyl compounds and extends their applicability in diverse sensing scenarios.
