The soft donor atoms containing organic ligand was prepared and then successfully immobilized onto the ordered nanomaterials to form facial adsorbent for copper(II) ions removal from water. The soft donor atoms of this ligand are actively working to make a stable complex formation with Cu(II) at a neutral pH region. It is also noted that the organic ligand was acted as receptors and able to transfer chemical information into analytical signals by charge transfer transudation during the detection operation.
