The probe was prepared by the facile Schiff base condensation of 2-hydroxy-1-napthaldehyde with N-phenylhydrazinecarbothioamide. The sensor displayed good selectivity for Fe(III) when tested against a range of biologically and environmentally important cations. A concentration dependent increase in the emission of two fluorescent bands at 425 and 495 nm was observed upon increasing Fe(III) addition resulting in a linear ratiometric response in the 17–37 lM range. The binding stoichiometry was confirmed as 1:1 (host/guest) with the binding constant (logb) calculated as 4.56.}, publisher = {Elsevier}, keywords = {Fluorescence}, keywords = {Sensor}, keywords = {Iron(III)}, keywords = {Ratiometric}, title = {A new use for an old molecule: N-phenyl-2-(2-hydroxynaphthalen-1-ylmethylene)hydrazinecarbothioamide as a ratiometric ‘Off–On’ fluorescent probe for iron}, doi = {10.1016/j.tetlet.2011.11.126}, author = {Casanueva Marenco, María José and Fowley, Colin and W.
