    Abstract:
    3,3',5,5'-Tetraphenyl-2,2'-dipyrromethene was described as a highly sensitive and selective Off-on fluorescent colorimetric chemosensor for Zn2+ based on the chelation-enhanced fluorescence (CHEF) effect. The reaction of dipyrromethene ligand with Zn2+ induces the formation of the [ZnL2] complex, which exhibits the increasing fluorescence in 120 fold compared with ligand in the propanol-1/cyclohexane (1:30) binary mixture. The Zn2+ detection limit was 1.4 × 10-7 М. The UV-Vis and fluorescence spectroscopic studies demonstrated that the dipyrromethene sensor was highly selective toward Zn2+ cations over other metal ions (Na+, Mg2+, Co2+, Ni2+, Fe3+, Cu2+, Mn2+, Cd2+ and Pb2+), excluding Hg2+.
