Abstract
In this work, a selective chemosensor, (E)-N'-((4-oxo-4H-chromen-3-yl)methylene)isoquinoline-1-carbohydrazide (ENO), was rationally developed for colorimetric and fluorogenic detection of Zn2+ ions. It was readily synthesized from 4-oxo-4H-chromene-3-carbaldehyde and isoquinoline-1-carbohydrazide via one-step Schiff reaction. ENO exhibited excellent fluorescent response performances toward Zn2+ over a wide pH range in EtOH/H2O media, including a distinguished color change from colorless to gold, a low limit of detection (LOD) value (34 nM), strong complexation ability (1.36 × 105 M-1) and rapid identification (2 min). The sensing mechanism of ENO toward Zn2+ was proposed on the basis of the chelation-enhanced fluorescence (CHEF) process, which was further supported by IR studies and the density functional theory (DFT) calculation. Moreover, ENO presented here demonstrated outstanding capability in monitoring trace level of Zn2+ ions in real water samples, living cells as well as the on-site assay kit.
