Abstract
A thiourea-based fluorescent chemosensor NADA, (E)-2-(4-(diethylamino)-2-hydroxybenzylidene)-N-(naphthalen-1-yl)hydrazine-1-carbothioamide, has been designed and synthesized. NADA could detect Ga3+ through a fluorescent turn-on with a low detection limit (0.29 μM). Importantly, NADA could effectively discriminate Ga3+ from Al3+ and In3+. The binding mechanism of NADA with Ga3+ was identified by ESI-mass, NMR titration, and DFT calculations.
