Description
Summary:[Display omitted] •A very simple and novel synthetic route for the probe is designed and executed.•The titled probe has shown good selectivity towards Cu2+ ions in physiological environment.•The response time was very quick to sense Cu2 + ions in the presence of other competitive cations.•The probe molecule also displayed considerable antibacterial potential. This work describes the fabrication of a carbazole derivative 1 namely (E)-5-(diethylamino)-2-((9-ethyl-9H-carbazol-3-yl)imino)methyl)phenol(1) based colorimetric probe for the selective detection of copper (II) ions. The as-prepared carbazole derivative was characterized using various spectral techniques including UV–visible absorption, Emission, FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and mass spectra. The colorimetric chemosensing potential of the synthesized carbazole derivative 1 to detect Cu2+ ions in a solution of different cations at different emission wavelengths based on photo-induced electron transfer (PET) mechanism was undertaken. In addition, the probe 1 showed significant DPPH scavenging activity. Antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory activities of the carbazole derivative 1 were also assessed. The selectivity of probe 1 towards Cu2+ ions could be exploited to reduce copper induced toxicity.
