Abstract

We designed a colorimetric chemosensor based on phthalazine ((E)-9-((2-(phthalazin-1-yl)hydrazono)methyl)-2,3,6,7-tetrahydro-1H,5H-pyrido[3,2,1-ij]quinoline-8-ol), denoted HPJ, for detecting Co2+. In the presence of Co2+, HPJ undergoes a colour variation from yellow to dark pink. Analysis of a Job plot and electrospray ionisation-mass spectra enabled the binding mode of HPJ to Co2+ to be determined as a 1:1 ratio. The detection limit of Co2+ with HPJ was 1.74 μM. In addition, the feasibility of using HPJ in the form of a test strip was confirmed. The sensing process of Co2+ by HPJ was monitored by using a Job plot, proton nuclear magnetic resonance titration, electrospray ionisation-mass spectrometry and ultraviolet-visible titration.
