Abstract
The title compound, a new coumarin based fluorophore having a piperazine moiety as the photoinduced electron transfer (PET) switch was prepared and its photophysical properties studied in various solvents and under different pH. Solvatochromic shift in the fluorescence spectrum revealed an increase in the dipole moment in the lowest excited singlet state compared to that in the ground state. The compound also showed an interesting intramolecular photoinduced proton transfer phenomenon in the excited state under neutral pH. It was effectively utilized as a new Chelation-enhanced fluorescence (CHEF) based chemosensor for zinc and nickel ions in water.
