Abstract
A novel isonicotic acid hydrazide Schiff base derivative N′-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-2-hydroxy-benzylidene) isonicotinohydrazide (DHIH) has been synthesized and developed as a high selective and sensitive colorimetric probe for Cu2+ determination. Addition of Cu2+ to the solution of DHIH resulted in a rapid color change from colorless to yellow together with an obvious new absorption band appeared at the range of 400–440nm by forming a 1:1 complex. Experimental results indicated that the DHIH could provide absorption response to Cu2+ with a linear dynamic range from 1.0×10−5 to 1.0×10−4mol/L. The detection limit of Cu2+ was 5.24×10−7mol/L with good tolerance of other metal ions.
