A new optical chemosensor N1 was designed and synthesized by condensing 4-chloro-7-nitrobenzofurazan with 2-aminophenylbenzimidazole. In CH3OH : H2O (1 : 1, v/v) medium, sensor N1 exhibited high selectivity and sensitivity towards Cu2+ and Hg2+ ions by showing a distinct colour change from pale yellow to pink due to the internal charge transfer occurring between the sensor N1 and the Cu2+/Hg2+ ions upon complexation in 1 : 1 stoichiometry.

Bis(indolyl)methene displays high selectivity and sensitivity for aspartate and glutamate in water-containing medium based on the proton transfer signaling mode. The presence of acid can easily induce proton transfer to the basic H-bond acceptor moiety, which modulates the internal charge transfer state of the bis(indolyl)methene skeleton and gives rise to dramatic change in color. The detection limits for aspartate and glutamate were 0.80 ppm and 1.12 ppm, respectively.

Abstract A new benzothiazole-based chemosensor BTN (1-((Z)-(((E)-3-methylbenzo[d]thiazol-2(3H)-ylidene)hydrazono)methyl)naphthalen-2-ol) was synthesized for the detection of Cu2+. BTN could detect Cu2+ with “off-on” fluorescent response from colorless to yellow irrespective of presence of other cations. Limit of detection for Cu2+ was determined to be 3.3 µM. Binding ratio of BTN and Cu2+ turned out to be a 1:1 with the analysis of Job plot and ESI-MS. Sensing feature of Cu2+ by BTN was explained with theoretical calculations, which might be owing to internal charge transfer and chelation-enhanced fluorescence processes.
