A highly selective fluorescent sensor for distinguishing cadmium from zinc ions based on a quinoline platform.

A fluorescent sensor, N-(quinolin-8-yl)-2-(quinolin-8-yloxy)acetamide (HL), based on 8-aminoquinoline and 8-hydroxyquinoline platforms has been synthesized. This sensor displays high selectivity and sensitive fluorescence enhancement to Cd(2+) in ethanol. Moreover, sensor HL can distinguish Cd(2+) from Zn(2+) via two different sensing mechanisms (photoinduced electron transfer for Cd(2+); internal charge transfer for Zn(2+)). The composition of the complex Cd(2+)/HL or Zn(2+)/L(-) has been found to be 1:1, based on the fluorescence/absorption titration and further confirmed by X-ray crystallography.
