Abstract

A new simple quinolone-based chemosensor 1 was synthesized for Zn²⁺. 1 exhibited selective fluorescence enhancement in the presence of Zn²⁺ with a 1:1 stoichiometry in aqueous solution, which was reversible with the addition of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA). The detection limit (0.019 μM) of 1 for Zn²⁺ is far lower than the World Health Organization guideline (76 μM) in drinking water. 1 was successfully applied to quantify and image Zn²⁺ in water samples and living cells. The sensing mechanism of Zn²⁺ by 1via the chelation-enhanced fluorescence (CHEF) effect was supported by theoretical calculations. Therefore, 1 could be used in a practical system for monitoring Zn²⁺ in aqueous solution.
