A novel triazole-based bis Schiff base colorimetric and fluorescent chemosensor (L) has been designed, synthesized and characterized. The chemo-sensor L shows its application potential in the detection of Cu2+ and Pb2+ in living cells and building molecular logic gate.
A biocompatible coumarinyl Schiff base scaffold (H2L), a nontoxic probe and a fluorescent sensor to Zn2+, with an LOD of 11 nM, was used for living cell imaging.
Thioether Schiff base (H2L), a nontoxic Zn2+-sensor (LOD, 0.050 μM) has shown selective ON–OFF emission following INHIBIT logic circuit with H2PO4−and useful agent for the identification of Zn2+and H2PO4−in intracellular fluid in living cells.
