Abstract
The recognition ability of N-Furfurylsalicylaldimine (HL) toward various cations (Pb2+, Hg2+, Ba2+, Cd2+, Ag+, Zn2+, Cu2+, Ni2+, Co2+, K+, Sr2+, and Na+) has been studied by UV–Vis and fluorescence spectroscopy. The compound showed highly selective fluorescence signaling behaviour for Zn2+ ions in methanol-water medium based on CHEF process and is capable of distinguishing Zn2+ from Cd2+ ion. From single crystal X-ray analysis it is revealed that a Zn2+ ion binds two ligand molecules through imine nitrogen and phenolate oxygen atom.
