RESUMO
Pyrazolone tethered triazole functionalized organosilane and their hybrid silica nanoparticles (HSNPs) have been synthesised for the selective detection of Sn(II) using spectrophotometric techniques. The prepared compounds are characterized by FT-IR, NMR (1H and 13C), XRD, mass spectrometry and FE-SEM spectral analyses. The synthesized hybrid silica nanoparticles gave improved detection limit of 4.3 × 10-8 M and stoichiometry of complex between analyte and probe was found to be 1:1. The association constant calculated for organosilane and their HSNPs came out to be 9.54 × 104 M-1 and 7.47 × 104 M-1 while the presence of other ions showed no interference in the sensing behaviour. The results of the use of this sensing system in tap water facilitate its applicability in real samples with the recovery % more than 98.
