•We have designed a highly selective and sensitive chemosensor for palladium.•Fluorescence intensity of NBDTC shows a large enhancement with turn-on over 50-fold in PEG400 under palladium species.•NBDTC has lower detection limit of 1.13 × 10−9 M based on Tsuji–Trost reaction.
A new chemosensor 7-nitro-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole-4-allyl-N-(thiophen-2-ylmethyl)carbamate (NBDTC) was synthesized and utilized for palladium detection based on the Tsuji–Trost reaction. NBDTC displayed specific and ratiometric fluorescent responses toward palladium species. The chemosensor showed more than 50-fold enhancement in fluorescence intensity with the presence of PEG400 and palladium because NBDTC can be transformed to NBDT under palladium-catalyzing Tsuji–Trost reaction. NBDTC displayed high selectivity and sensitivity for palladium species with the detection limit of 1.13 × 10−9 M.
