Abstract

The synthesis and fluorescent properties in the absence and presence of zinc (II) of a range of 2-substituted derivatives of N-(6-methoxy-2-methyl-8-quinolyl)-4- methylbenzenesulfonamide are described. These analogues formed complexes with zinc (II) as indicated by a bathochromic shift in their UV/vis spectra. Analogues with isobutenyl and isobutyl side chains at the 2-position formed fluorescent complexes whose fluorescence ...
