title: Recognition of iron ions by carbazole-desferrioxamine fluorescent sensor and its application in total iron detection in airbone particulate matter.
abstract: This work reports on an efficient microwave irradiation synthesis of a new fluorescent chemosensor based on desferrioxamine B (DFO-B) and carbazole moiety. Furthermore, this novel chemosensor was employed for a comparative study of real environmental samples of airbone particulate matter collected from Dunkirk (Northern of France). Among selected relevant metal cations present in its airbone particulate matter, such as Na(+), K(+), Mg(2+), Ca(2+), Al(3+), Cr(3+), Mn(2+) and Zn(2+), this molecular device proved to be outstandingly sensitive toward Fe(3+) with a limit of detection of 1.49 ppb (2.1×10(-8) M) in methanol allowing the estimation of total iron in atmospheric particles.
