Abstract
Excessive concentration of Zn in the environment may lead to bad toxicological responses that can affect human health and create numerous challenges in the environment. Therefore, it is very important to develop a sensitive method such as selective chemosensors based on fluorescence property which does not require laborious work in order to detect Zn metal ion. A formylchromone-thiosemicarbazide with two chloro derivatives namely DFCTSC was synthesized from reflux reaction of 6,8-dichloroformylchromone (DCF) and thiosemicarbazide (TSC) in ethanol. The characterisation of ligand structure was determined by using spectroscopic techniques such as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-VIS) and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR). Meanwhile, the fluorescence property of DFCTSC in the presence of Zn ion was recorded using fluorescence spectrophotometer. The result showed DFCTSC has a good fluorescence behaviour towards Zn ion by giving turn-on green fluorescence at peak 500 nm and emit light when it observed under UV light. The behaviour displayed the ability of ligand to be used as a potential fluorescent chemosensor for detecting Zn2+.
