β¦ Synopsis
We synthesized a novel benzimidazole-based fluorescent receptor bearing imine linkages with two sets of sp 2 nitrogens, and investigated its binding properties toward various metal ions. The receptor exhibited a shift in emission band upon binding with Fe 3+ ions, and no such significant response was noticed in other metal ions. The receptor shows a property of selective ratiometric fluorescent probe of Fe 3+ ions without interferences of the background metal ions.

A novel fluorescent Zn 2+ probe based on 6-methoxyquinolin was synthesized in four steps from inexpensive starting materials. It exhibits very strong fluorescence responses and has a remarkably high selectivity to Zn 2+ than other physiological relevant metal ions. This new compound could be used as
