Accurately predicting the stability constant (β) of the Cu2+ complex with organic fluorescent ligands provides an important basis to design molecular fluorescent sensors for selective detection of Cu2+. With appropriate reference complexes, the calculated stability constants are in good agreement with experimental values. The logβ values of the predicted stability constants of Cu2+ complexes with Calcein blue (H3Cb) and FluoZin-1 (H2Fz) are (exp. ) and (exp. ), respectively. More importantly, the results could be applied to the investigation of complexes. |
