Abstract

A simple synchronous fluorescent chemosensor 3-hydroxy-2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-4H-chromen-4-one (3-HC) has been synthesized for the selective analysis of Al3+. On the addition of Al3+, 3-HC displayed a redshift with a change in wavelength of emission maximum from 436 to 465 nm along with enhancement in fluorescence intensity, which formed the basis for its sensitive detection. Under optimized conditions, 3-HC was applied for the determination of Al3+ in the concentration range of 1 × 10–7-1 × 10–6 M. The limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) values were found out to be 1.69 × 10–8 and 5.07 × 10–8 M respectively. Further, the developed method was applied for the analysis of Al3+ in real water samples (tap water, bottled water, and tube well water) which showed good recovery values in the range of 95–99.7% with RSD less than 4%.
