In this study, a highly sensitive and selective fluorescent chemosensor, ethyl(E)-2-((2-((2-(7-(diethylamino)-2-oxo-2H-chromene-3-carbonyl)hydrazono)methyl)quinolin-8-yl)oxy)acetate (1), was synthesized and characterized by 1 H NMR, 13 C NMR and ESI-MS. Sensor 1 showed an "on-off" fluorescence response to Pb 2+ with a 1 : 1 binding stoichiometry in CH 3 CN/HEPES buffer medium (9 : 1 v/v). The detection limit of sensor 1 to Pb 2+ was determined to be 0.5 mM, and the stable pH range for Pb 2+ detection was from 4 to 8.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
