We have reported the synthesis and structural characterization of a unique Zn(II) metallacycle (1) and its utilization as a fluorescent probe for the shape-specific selective recognition (turn-off) of Fe and IO ions. The relevant Stern-Volmer graphs indicate that the recognitions of Fe and IO ions are examples of diphasic and monophasic quenchings, respectively. The title metallacycle has been prepared by the reaction of a novel N-heterocyclic carbene precursor, 1,3-bis(2,6-diisopropyl-4-(pyridin-4-yl)phenyl)-1H-imidazol-3-ium chloride/bromide (L), and zinc(II) chloride salt. Notably, the ligand itself did not show any type of recognition for any ions. DFT calculations were performed on L and metallacycle 1 using the geometric parameters, obtained from their single-crystal X-ray diffraction data, to understand the electronic structures of the ligand and macrocycle. The detection limit for the recognition of the Fe ion was determined to be 2.5 × 10 mol/L, and that for IO ion was found to be 6.3 × 10 mol/L.

A combination of ,',''-tris(3-pyridyl)-1,3,5-benzenetricarboxamide (L1) and -chlorobenzoic acid (HL2) with Zn(NO)·6HO resulted in the formation of a dinuclear metallacycle [ZnL1(L2)(DMF)] (1(DMF)4). In 1(DMF)4, the Zn(II) centre adopts a square pyramidal geometry, while one of the pyridyl N out of the three pyridyl groups in L1 remained uncoordinated. Solvated DMF molecules are present in 1(DMF)4.

Five new metal complexes of Fe(II) (1), Co(II) (2), Ni(II) (3), Cu(II) (4), and Zn(II) (5), derived from an -cyclohexyl -(3,4-dimethoxybenzyl) dithiocarbamate ligand, have been successfully synthesized and fully characterized by different analytical techniques elemental analyses, FT-IR, UV-Vis, H & C NMR, and HRMS. Furthermore, complexes 4 and 5 have been characterized by the SC-XRD technique. Complex 4 adopts a distorted square planar geometry around the Cu(II) center while complex 5 adopts a distorted tetrahedral geometry around the Zn(II) center.

The detection of chemical explosives is a major area of research interest and is essential for the military as well as homeland security to counter the catastrophic effects of global terrorism. In recent years, tremendous effort has been devoted to the development of luminescent materials for the detection of explosives in the vapor, solution, and solid states with a high degree of selectivity and sensitivity and a rapid response time. Apart from the wide range of organic fluorescent chemosensors, transition metal complexes play a prominent role in the sensing of nitroaromatic explosives owing to their rich photophysical characteristics.
