Fluorometric detection of Al3+ ions using a Schiff base probe in various environments, suggesting high sensitivity and selectivity.

This research focuses on developing a fluorescent sensor for selectively detecting Al3+ ions.
Synthesis of the Schiff base fluorescent sensor FBTS through a condensation reaction.
Photoluminescence titrations to determine the detection limit for Al3+ ions.
Characterization of binding using high-resolution mass spectrometry, NMR titration, and density functional theory.
Assessment of the sensor's performance in real samples through test strips, fish analysis, and cellular imaging.
FBTS exhibits strong blue fluorescence upon binding with Al3+ in a DMSO-water medium.
Detection limit for Al3+ is 0.14 microM with a high association constant of 5.4 × 10^4 M−1.
Negligible interference from other metal ions was observed.
Optimal pH range for detection is between 7 and 9.
