•A selective colorimetric and fluorescent turn-on chemosensor for Al3 + was synthesized.•A 1:1 stoichiometry for the L-Al3 + complex was formed with an association constant of 7.6 × 104 M− 1.•L can serve as a naked-eye chemosensor for Al3 + ion.
A new chemosensor L based on the naphthalimide moiety was synthesized and characterized. L exhibited the high selectivity and sensitivity for Al3 + in CH3OH, along with colorimetric and fluorometric dual-signaling responses based on the joint contribution of the ICT and CHEF processes. A 1:1 stoichiometry for the L-Al3 + complex was formed with an association constant of 7.6 × 104 M− 1, and the limit of detection for Al3 + was determined as 6.9 μM. In addition, L was successfully applied to the determination of Al3 + in real water samples.
