Abstract

A simple highly sensitive and selective turn-on fluorescent chemosensor L based on bis-Schiff-base for Pb2+ ions was synthesized and characterized by spectroscopic techniques. L having high binding affinity towards Pb2+ ions of 2.10×104M−1 selectively detects Pb2+ ions with almost no interference among various competitive ions by a 11-fold fluorescent enhancement in CH3CN/H2O (95:5, v/v) solution over a wide pH range. Moreover, sensor L displayed a lower detection limit of 3.80×10−7M, which is low enough for sensing sub-millimolar concentration of Pb2+ encountered practically.
