•A new Al3 + receptor can be easily prepared.•Receptor 1 exhibits an "off-on-type" mode with high sensitivity in the presence of Al3 +.•The receptor has a high association constant with submicromolar detection for Al3 +.
A simple Schiff-base receptor 1 was prepared. It exhibits an “off–on-type” mode with high sensitivity in the presence of Al3 + and shows a high association constant (5.89 × 106 M− 2) toward Al3 + in DMSO–H2O (4:6 v/v) solution. The addition of EDTA to receptor 1·Al3 + complex quenches the fluorescent intensity, indicating that receptor 1 serves as a reversible chemosensor.
