It is found that compound 1 can be used as a fluorogenic probe for the detection of hypochlorite ion in aqueous solution. NMR and mass spectral analysis indicate that probe 1 undergoes a chemical transformation through its oxime units upon treatment with hypochlorite, which results in a remarkable enhancement of the emission intensity. Also, metal ion recognition properties of probe 1 is investigated. It is noted that compound 1 is responsive to Zn2+, Cd2+, Ni2+ and Cu2+ metal ions, which reduced the emission intensity under identical conditions.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessFluorescenceProbeHypochlorite1,10-phenanthrolineArticle26248749610.1007/s10895-015-1734-726670687Q3WOS:000371403000013N/A
