Selective and sensitive colorimetric detection of copper(II) using methylthiazole-quinolinol based sensor: application in real samples and its experimental and DFT studies.
A novel methylthiazole-quinolinol-based sensor (MTAMQ) named (E)-2-methyl-5-((4-methylthiazol-2-yl)diazenyl)quinolin-8-ol was synthesized. In the presence of copper(II) ions (Cu2+), the MTAMQ sensor exhibits a stable color change from yellow to red. The MTAMQ sensor displayed a linear response toward Cu2+ ions over the...
