A novel benzoxazole appended dipodal Schiff base (BS) was synthesized and its sensing property was investigated. The receptor BS detected Zn2+ ions selectively by turn-on fluorescence among the wide range of metal ions in DMSO-H2O (1:9 v/v, 50 mM HEPES (4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazineethanesulfonic acid) at pH 7.4. The different physicochemical parameters of BS-Zn2+ complex were investigated by UV-vis, photoluminescence, H-1 NMR titration and ESI-MS techniques. The limit of detection (LOD) and binding constant (K-b) of BS-Zn2+ complex have been determined by fluorescence titration and found to be 4.53 x 10(4) M-1 and 0.52 mu M. Moreover, binding ratio of BS and Zn2+ was found to be 1:1 by Job’s method. Further, the BS-Zn2+ complex was used to sense pyrophosphate (PPi) ions as a secondary sensor in HEPES buffer solution. Overall, the sensitive fluorescence behavior of the receptor BS has been utilized as a powerful tracker for zinc ion and pyrophosphate ion in biological systems.
