摘要

The rapid and reliable detection of toxic heavy metals in environmental water sources is crucial due to the significant health risks they pose to humans. This study presents the design and development of a novel xanthene-based fluorescent probe, XH-HDZ, which is functionalized with a 2-pyridylhydrazone recognition unit. The probe initially exhibits strong fluorescence, which is quickly quenched (< 1 min) upon interacting with Hg2⁺ or Au3⁺ ions. The quenching process follows a reversible 2:1 binding mechanism, as confirmed by Job’s Plot analysis and 1H NMR titration studies. The limits of detection (LOD) for the probe were determined to be 268 nM for Hg2⁺ and 425 nM for Au3⁺, indicating high sensitivity. Furthermore, the probe was able to detect target metal ions in real water samples, including drinking water and tap water, highlighting its potential for environmental monitoring. Additionally, TLC strips were prepared and successfully used for the visual detection of Hg2⁺ and Au3⁺ ions under both daylight and UV illumination.
