本篇論文為設計與合成新型螢光化學感應器，以Pentiptycene與Calix[4] arenes這兩個分子作為感應器的主體，再應用分子內電荷轉移、光誘導性電子轉移及單體-二聚體激發狀態三個訊號傳遞原理，設計三個不同的感應分子，其中一個感應分子(F)順利合成出來，並針對鹼金、鹼土族及過渡金屬離子進行螢光量測。 結果顯示此化合物F對Ca2+離子及Cd2+離子的感應變化為pyrene monomer螢光增加而其excimer的螢光減弱，特別是此化合物對Cu2+離子的感應變造成excimer的螢光會有35nm(475nm~440nm)的藍位移現象，而monomer卻沒有改變。我們推論這結果是化合物F 與Cu2+離子錯合後形成之特殊結構所造成，進一步研究發現此一新現象只有在以Cu(ClO4)2無機鹽作為Cu2+離子的來源且溶於CH3CN中，再加至以CH2Cl2為溶劑之化合物F溶液才會發生，而螢光變化並不是隨Cu2+離子濃度增加而不斷增強，螢光強度最大的位置是Cu2+：化合物F之當量數比為10：1左右。 Three new fluorescent chemosensors have been designed, in which the pentiptycene or calix[4]arene scaffolds were adopted to form the receptors and the signal transductions was based on the intramolecular charge transfer(ICT), photo-induced electron transfer(PET), or monomer-excimer principles. One of them, the polyether-linked pentiptycene-bispyrene system (F), has been synthesized and its fluorescence response to some alkalii, alkaline earth, and transition metal ions has been studied. A decrease of the pyrene excimer emission with a concomitant increase of the pyrene monomer emission was observed for F in the presence of Ca2+ or Cd2+. In addition, a particular finding is the pronounced blue shift (from 475 to 440 nm) of the excimer emission in the case of Cu2+, indicating of the formation of a unique supramolecular structure. Results indicate that the blue-shifted excimer emission has a maximum intensity at ca. [Cu2+]/[F] = 10 and only occurs in the condition of F in CH2Cl2 and Cu(ClO4)2 predissolved in CH3CN.
