title: A new fluorescent chemosensor for Al(3+) ion based on schiff base naphthalene derivatives.
abstract: A new naphthalene derivative receptor (H2L) was synthesized. The chemosensor (H2L) exhibited a strong fluorescence enhancement in the presence of trace amounts of Al(3+), attributable to chelation-enhanced fluorescence (CHEF) effect, which also displayed high selectivity over a series of other metal cations (Na(+), K(+), Cs(+), Mg(2+), Ba(2+), Pb(2+), Cr(3+), Mn(2+), Fe(3+), Fe(2+), Co(2+), Ni(2+), Cu(2+), Zn(2+), Cd(2+), Hg(2+) and Ag(+)) in ethanol.
