Abstract:

A simple fluorescence probe based on benzoindole (H) was designed and synthesized. The recognition performance of the probe for metal cations was studied by ultraviolet-visible absorption spectrophotometry (UV-Vis) and fluorescence emission spectra. The results show that probe H in the mixed system of ethanol (EtOH) and 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)piperazine-1-ethanesulfonic acid(HEPES)(pH=7.4)(volume ratio 1:1) has specific recognition of Al3+ and is not impacted by other metal cations. The complex ratio of probe H and Al3+ is 1:1, the association constant Ka is 0.52×102 mol/L and the detection limit is 1.75 μmol/L. The quantitative detection of Al3+ in water and food samples proves that the probe has potential applications.
