A fluorescence probe based on 6-phenylimidazo[2,1-<i>b</i>]thiazole and salicylaldehyde for the relay discerning of In³⁺ and Cr³⁺

Abstract

A new fluorescence probe, (<italic>E</italic>)-<italic>N</italic>′-(2-hydroxybenzylidene)-6-phenylimidazo[2,1-<italic>b</italic>]thiazole-3-carbohydrazide (<bold>LB1</bold>), based on 6-phenylimidazo[2,1-<italic>b</italic>]thiazole and salicylaldehyde was designed and synthesized.
