A new azobenzene chromophore (AZQU), appended with a bis-quinoline unit as a turn-on chemosensor for selective detection of Cd2+ ions, has been designed and synthesized. The fluorescent receptor AZQU has an excellent selectivity and sensitivity towards Cd2+ ions over other metal ions in CH3CN:H2O (80:20, v/v) solution. AZQU is red colored and non-fluorescent in the absence of Cd2+ ions, but upon addition of Cd2+ ions it turns colorless with appreciable fluorescence. This “off–on” type signaling behavior is attributed to the CHEF (chelation-enhanced fluorescence) effect of the quinoline unit and the change in color from red to yellow occurs by an ICT process with Cd2+. The association constant for AZQU?+?Cd2+ was calculated to be 1.68?×?105 L·mol?1 with binding in the 1:1 stoichiometric ratio.
