Abstract
Azo 8-hydroxyquinoline benzoate ( 2 ) was synthesized and studied to detect metal ions. Distinct color change was found for compound 2 in the presence of transition metal ions Hg 2+ or Cu 2+ in CH 3 CN, respectively, which makes it possible for distinguishing Hg 2+ and Cu 2+ from other metal ions by the ‘naked eye’.
