A sensitive and selective fluorescent sensor for Pb2+ ion based on phenothiazine-polyamide was built (named sensor PP). Due to introducing of four diethanolamine groups to polyamide, this sensor was totally water soluble. PP could detect Pb2+ ion within 1 min in the presence of other metal ions in aqueous solution, the detect limit was 9.11 × 10-8 M.
Keywords: Fluorescent sensor; Pb(2+) ion; Phenothiazine-polyamide.
