Popis: We have synthesized and characterized three Schiff-base molecules, namely, 1-(((2-hydroxybenzylidene)hydrazono)methyl)naphthalen-2-ol ( H 2 L ), (1-(((2-hydroxy-5-nitrobenzylidene)hydrazono)methyl)naphthalen-2-ol ( H 2 L-NO 2 ) and 1-(((2-hydroxy-5-methylbenzylidene)hydrazono)methyl)naphthalen-2-ol) ( H 2 L-Me ). Out of these three compounds, H 2 L-NO 2 has been found to be a selective fluorescent chemosensor for Al 3+ . Fluorescence intensity of H 2 L-NO 2 at 517 nm (λ ex = 390 nm) is increased significantly in the presence of Al 3+ . Other relevant metal ions cannot induce considerable enhancement in its emission intensity. The enhancement has been explained using PET and CHEF mechanism. Quantum yield and life-time of H 2 L-NO 2 have increased in the presence of one equivalent of Al 3+ . H 2 L-NO 2 forms 1:1 complex with the metal ion which is confirmed from Job's plot and ESI mass spectral analysis. Its sensitivity has been determined by 3σ method and found to be moderate. Emission intensity of H 2 L and H 2 L-Me does not increase appreciably in the presence of Al 3+ . Presence of electron withdrawing group in H 2 L-NO 2 may be responsible for its aluminum sensing properties.
