Popis: A new fluorescent chemosensor based a coumarin fluorophore and an 8-hydroxyquinoline ionophore was synthesized and characterized by 1 H NMR, IR and ESI-HRMS. Its selectivity toward metal ions in acetonitrile (1% water, v/v) was investigated by UV absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy. The results showed that this chemosensor exhibited good selectivity toward Cu 2+ over other metal ions by enhancement of fluorescence intensity more than 13-fold, and the fluorescent color change could be observed by naked eyes under the light of 365 nm. The absorption spectra of the sensor ( L ) toward the concentration of Cu 2+ indicated the formation of L –Cu 2+ complex, and the complex was 1:1 ratio according to Job plot experiment. Both of photo-induced electron transfer (PET) and intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) mechanisms were considered to be operational for fluorescence enhancement and spectral shift. The detection limit of Cu 2+ was determined to be 1.16 μM, a satisfying level to detect Cu 2+ in micromolar scale.
