Abstract
Heavy metal ions such as copper,
chromium, and manganese are very harmful to both the environment and living
organisms. Their presence in excess amount can harm the liver, kidneys, lungs,
and other vital organs. A colorimetric sensor based on bis-indolylmethane (BIM) derivatives was preliminary studied to investigate their ability as a
heavy metal ionophore with existence of H-bonding
interactions between the indolic N–H functional
groups and the metal ions. Five different BIM derivatives were synthesised involving condensation reaction between
2-methylindole and different substituted benzaldehydes, and were characterised using 1H and 13C NMR,
FT-IR, and UV-Vis spectroscopy to confirm their molecular structure.
Colorimetric sensing analysis involving metal screening with Cu2+,
Mn2+ and Cr6+ ions via naked eye study showed compounds 1 and 5 had the most intense colour change,
hence having the highest possibility to make interaction or to be bound to the
metal ions. A further
binding interaction study was conducted using UV-Vis titration analysis between
compound 1 with the metal ions involving Cu2+ and Mn2+ and compound 5 with Cr6+, respectively, proved the
synthesized BIM derivatives to act as a potential heavy metal ions colorimetric
sensor.
Keywords: Bis-indolylmethane; colorimetric sensor; metal ion
Abstrak
Ion logam berat seperti kuprum, kromium dan mangan sangat berbahaya kepada alam sekitar dan organisma hidup. Kehadiran mereka dalam jumlah yang berlebihan boleh membahayakan hati, buah pinggang, paru-paru dan organ penting lain. Penderia metri warna berdasarkan terbitan bis-indolilmetana (BIM) telah dikaji awal untuk mengkaji keupayaannya sebagai ionofor logam berat dengan kewujudan interaksi ikatan-H antara kumpulan berfungsi N-H indolik dan ion logam. Lima terbitan BIM berbeza telah disintesis melibatkan tindak balas kondensasi antara 2-metilindola dan penggantian benzaldehid berbeza dan dicirikan menggunakan spektroskopi 1H dan 13C NMR, FT-IR dan UV-Vis untuk mengesahkan struktur molekulnya. Analisis penderiaan metri warna yang melibatkan penyaringan logam dengan ion Cu2+,
Mn2+ dan Cr6+ melalui kajian mata kasar menunjukkan sebatian 1 dan 5 mempunyai perubahan warna yang paling ketara, justeru, mempunyai kemungkinan paling tinggi untuk melakukan interaksi atau terikat kepada ion logam. Kajian interaksi pengikatan selanjutnya telah dijalankan menggunakan analisis titratan UV-Vis antara sebatian 1 dengan ion logam yang melibatkan Cu2+ dan Mn2+ dan sebatian 5 dengan Cr6+ masing-masing membuktikan terbitan BIM yang disintesis berpotensi untuk bertindak sebagai penderia metri warna ion logam berat.
Kata kunci: Bis-indolilmetana; ion logam; penderia metri warna
