Abstract
A new simple bifunctional chemosensor 1 based on rhodamine was synthesized by hydrazide and formylformic acid, which could detect Cu2+ and Hg2+via different detecting methods in CH3CN-HEPES buffer solution (20 mmol/L, pH 7.4) (1:9, v/v) respectively. When sensor 1 bound with Cu2+, it showed a colorimetric change, while a selective enhancement in fluorescence occurred upon 1 binding with Hg2+, resulting from the spirolatam-ring opening process. The binding modes of 1 with Cu2+ and Hg2+ were investigated based on UV, fluorescence change, ESI-Mass and Job’s Plot data. Moreover, sensor 1 could selectively detect target ion in a mixed solution of Cu2+ and Hg2+, and the two metal ions do not interfere with each other in the process of detecting Cu2+ or Hg2+ with 1.
