Coumarin and its derivatives are highly fluorescent. Coumarin fluorescent probes are widely used in drug development,disease monitoring,and metal ion detection. With the development of industrialization,more and more toxic metal ions are present in our living environment.It is particularly important to identify metal ions efficiently and quickly.In this paper,a novel fluorescent molecular probe MFHC capable of recognizing Cr3+was synthesized from 4-methyl-8-formyl-7-hydroxycoumarin and 2-aminomethylpyridine.When the solution is acetonitrile,th...
