Abstract

The focus of this thesis is the fabrication of an Intelligent Polymerized Crystalline Colloidal Array (IPCCA) photonic material that may sense sulfate anions using a charged amide-amine macrocyclic compound (PyEAmNH3+) in pure water at low concentrations. Sulfate (SO42-) anions were found to bind to a charged amide-amine macrocyclic compound (PyEAmNH3+) in DMSO. (Dr Bowman-James and Dr Kang, University of Kansas). In this work, (PyEAmNH3+) is covalently attached to a PCCA to forms an intelligent polymerized crystalline colloidal array (IPCCA) which would sense SO42- . However, we have demonstrated that our IPCCA did not bind to sulfate anions, rather the IPCCA response is due to the change in ionic strength and pH.
