Abstract: A structurally simple 2-amino-5-(p-dimethylamino)phenyl-1,3,4-thiadiazole(1) was designed and synthesized as a high selective fluorescent chemosensor for Hg2+ in H2O/EtOH(volume ratio 1∶9) solution. The selective quenching by Hg2+ of the fluorescence of compound 1 was rationalized in terms of the formation of a nonfluorescent Hg2+-1 complex with enhanced intramolecular charge transfer compared to compound 1 itself. The 1∶1 binding mode of compound 1 with Hg2+by its S atom and N atom of C-2 NH2 was proposed on the basis of Job plots, IR, and 1H NMR titrations. A linear fluorescent response was found for Hg2+ over 5.0×10-6 to 5.0×10-5 mol/L with a detection limit of 1.0×10-7 mol/L.

Key words: Fluorescent chemosensor, Hg2+, Fluorescence quenching, Intramolecular charge transfer, 1,3,4-Thiadiazole
