摘要

A novel easily available chemosensor 1 based on bis(N-salicylidene)ethylenediamine was reported, which exhibits highly selective and sensitive recognition toward Mn2+ in pure aqueous solution over a wide range of tested metal ions with a clear naked eye color change from colorless to red. This represents the first reported calorimetric chemosensor capable of detecting Mn2+ in aqueous solution.
