Abstract
A water-soluble fluorescent sensor, 1, based on the quinoline platform, demonstrates femtomolar sensitivity for zinc ion with a 14-fold enhanced quantum yield upon chelation to zinc ion and also exhibits high selectivity to zinc ion over other physiological relevant divalent metals in the presence of EDTA. X-ray crystal structure of zinc complex reveals that an acetic carboxylic group participates in coordination, which significantly enhances the affinity of 1 for zinc ion.Entities:
