Abstract

A series of novel 6-oxo-1,6-dihydro-[2,2'-bipyridine]-5-carbonitriles has been synthesized and characterized. Their photophysical properties in DMSO solution and aqueous medium as well as fluorescence response to the presence of metal ions have been investigated. The obtained 4-(4-methoxyphenyl)-6-oxo-1,6-dihydro-[2,2'-bipyridine]-5-carbonitrile has been shown as a selective fluorescent "turn-ON" probe for Cd2+ ions with LoD 0.359µM, 1:1 metal-ligand ratio and binding constant of 5.2 × 104M-1.
