Uv-visible and fluorescence spectra of the ligand 1,3-bis(2,2ĄŻ:6ĄŻ,2ĄŻĄŻ-ter- pyridyl-5-ymethylsulfanyl)propane L and itĄŻs iron(II) complex have been investigated for analytical purposes. The two spectra of L and terpy are very similar which confirmed the ability of L to co-ordinate through the six N atoms of L with minimum distortion of the metal ionĄŻs octahedral geometry. The ligand-based absorption band of L is shifted to the longer wavelength. It was found that L is able to displace the two terpyridine groups in the complex to give [FeL]2 . The high stability of the complex makes it good in spectrophotometry analysis of metals ions in solution. The fluorescence of L was progressively quenched with an increasing concentration of iron(II). This makes L a possible reagent for the quantitative analysis of metal by measuring fluorescence quenching.
