Abstract: | A new tetraphenylethene-based fluorescent probe 2-(quinolin-8-yliminomethyl)-4-triphenylvinyl-phenol (HL) for detecting Zn2+ ion through the excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) and chelation enhanced fluorescence (CHEF) processes has been designed and synthesized. The results show that HL emits relatively strong blue fluorescence at 460 nm without Zn2+ ion, however, probe HL displays highly pink fluorescent emission at 600 nm when adding Zn2+ ion. The fluorescent emission of HL appears an extremely large Stokes shift, which effectively reduces the interference of background signal. The limit of detection of HL for Zn2+ ion can reach to 9.0 × 10–8 M. |
