Abstract

A new ratiometric and selective fluorescent chemosensor (1), based on thiazole for quantification of zinc ions in aqueous ethanol, was synthesized and investigated. The mechanism of fluorescence was based on the cation-induced inhibition of excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT).
