摘要

A novel reaction-based fluorescent probe (2) for Cu2+ was designed and synthesized. 2 exhibited remarkable fluorescence enhancement (65-fold) after the addition of Cu2+. Base on the absorption spectra, fluorescence spectra, ESI-MS and H-1 NMR spectra analysis, the fluorescence response was attributed to Cu2+-promoted hydrolysis of the picolinate moiety to yield a highly fluorescent product, 6-acetyl-2-hydroxynaphthalene (1). Moreover, 2 not only displayed a rapid response time (within 6 min), high sensitivity (detection limit of 8.5 nM), and high selectivity for Cu2+ over other metal ions, but also could detect Cu2+ by absorption spectra, fluorescence spectra, even an obvious fluorescence color change at room temperature.
