    Abstract:
    A new sensitive sensor for Zn2+ based on diarylethene with an imidazole unit has been synthesized. Its photochromic and fluorescent behaviors have been systematically investigated by the stimulation of UV/vis lights and Zn2+ ion in THF solution. It displayed a dual-mode with a "turn on" fluorescence and color response to Zn2+. With the addition of Zn2+, the emission intensity enhanced 26-fold, accompanied by the fluorescent color changed from dark red to bright yellow. The 1:1 stoichiometry between the sensor and Zn2+ was verified by Job's plot and MS. The LOD for Zn2+ was determined to be 6.12 × 10-9 mol L-1. Furthermore, a logic circuit was designed by using the fluorescence at 578 nm as output and the combinational stimuli of UV/vis and Zn2+/EDTA as inputs.
