Abstract

A new thiourea-based Schiff-base (L) as a fluorescent chemosensor has been designed and synthesized, which exhibits selectivity toward Hg2+ by forming a 1:2 compound based on the method of Job’s plot. The detection limit was calculated to be 6.5×10-6 mol/L. The prominent recognizable changes of L could be observed by the naked eyes and fluorescence sensing conditions. The color of the L solution changed instantly from colorless to yellow after adding Hg2+ and returned to colorless by adding I. The coordination reaction was reversible.
