摘要

We reported here the synthesis of a diarylethene with a 2,4-dihydroxybenzoyl hydrazine moiety (1O) for Zn2+ recognition. The compound is easy to prepare with a high yield up to 85%. Compound 1O can act as a highly selective and specific fluorescent sensor for Zn2+ without interference by other common metal ions. The LOD for Zn2+ detection was determined to be 1.28 x10(-6) mol L-1. Meanwhile, 1O can be used as a naked-eye detector for the Zn2+ ion with an obvious color change from colorless to olive. Based on the fluorescent properties of 1O, we constructed a logic circuit with four inputs of the combinational stimuli of UV/vis light and Zn2+/EDTA, and one output of fluorescence intensity.
