Abstract
A series of bishydrazide compounds have been developed for selective turn-on detection of Al3+ cation, based on metal chelation-enhanced fluorescence (CHEF) effects that inhibit the nonradiative PET and ESIPT processes. In aqueous solution, Al3+ selectively induces strong fluorescence of these compounds with large Stokes shifts up to ∼133 nm and emission colors varying from blue to orange. In the solid phase, both Al3+ and Zn2+ give apparent fluorescence which is simultaneously detected based on chromatographic separation. © 2015 American Chemical Society.
