Abstract

A coumarin based fluorescence ‘turn-on' chemosensor (HL) for the selective detection of Zn<sup>2+</sup> and HSO<sup>4¬</sup> has been developed. Emission intensity of HL is enhanced by 27 and 17 fold in presence of Zn<sup>2+</sup> and HSO<sup>4¬</sup> respectively. Theoretical study interprets the electronic structure and sensing mechanism of HL.
