Abstract
[graph: see text] 8-Hydroxyquinoline benzoates were developed as a new set of 8-HQ derivatives for highly sensitive fluorescent chemosensors for transition metal ions. A prominent fluorescence enhancement was found in the presence of transition metal ions such as Hg2+ and Cu2+, and this was suggested to result from the suppression of radiationless transitions from the npi state in the chemosensors.
