Indonesia's exposure of lead (Pb) and copper (Cu) heavy metal ions to humans and the environment has received increased attention over the past few decades as a result of the increasing application of heavy metals in various industries and transportation. Complex compounds of Cr3+ sensors with fluorescence-based pyrazoline-derived ligands (fluorosensors) have the potential to detect Pb2+ and Cu2+ heavy metal ions. The purpose of this study is to synthesize complex compounds of Cr3+ ions with pyrazoline-derived ligands and its potential as a fluorescence-based sensor of Pb2+ and Cu2+ heavy metal ions. Complex compounds formed are characterized and fluorosensor study by spectroscopic methods. The results showed that the synthesis of complex compounds was successfully carried out and a brown precipitate with a melting point of 253.2°C was obtained. Based on the results of the characterization of complex compounds of Cr3+ metal ions with pyrazolin-derived ligands using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer, two absorption peaks were obtained at 226 and 370 nm, two peaks indicating the presence of transition types π→π* and n→π*. The fluorescence spectrophotometer results showed two emission peaks, the peak absorption maximum of Cr3+ complex compounds was in the region 491 nm with a fluorescence intensity of 320.40 a.u. The determination of the fluorosensor potential of Cr3+ complex compounds with the addition of Pb2+ and Cu2+ metal ions showed significant changes in fluorescence so that fluorosensor types were obtained for Cr3+ metal ion complex compounds with Pb2+ and Cu2+, namely "turn-on" and "turn-off", respectively.
