Abstract
A novel selective and sensitive chemosensor, (E)-1-((((1Hbenzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)methyl)imino)methyl)naphthalen-2-ol (BIN), was developed for fluorescence detection of Zn2+. The compound BIN acts as a fluorescent “turn-on” detector for Zn2+. The limit of detection (2.26¯M) for zinc ion is well below the WHO standard (76.0¯M). Probe BIN can be chemically reversible with ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA). The binding mechanism of BIN with zinc ion was demonstrated by fluorescence, UV-visible, electrospray ionization mass spectroscopy, 1HNMR titration and calculations. Importantly, probe BIN could be applied to determine zinc ion in water samples and living zebrafish.
