Abstract

Abstract 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 low-priced yet high-quality Zn 2+ probe.
