Here, we developed a novel isoniazid based fluorescent probe (E)-N'-(thiophen-2-ylmethylene)isonicotinohydrazide (TINH) through simple condensation reaction and employed for selective detection of Pd2+ ions with a low detection limit of 4.102 × 10-11 M. Among the many existing cations, TINH bound Pd2+ ions with an association affinity of 9.794 × 105 M-1. Adding Pd2+ ions to ligand solution increased the absorption intensity in UV-Visible and quenched the emission intensity in fluorescence spectroscopic experiments. More importantly, this TINH complexed to Pd2+ ions in 1:1 stoichiometric ratio. To evaluate the stability of complexed system, pH experiments has been performed. The binding insights among the ligand and Pd2+ ions has been confirmed by IR spectroscopic and MASS spectrometric methods. Additionally, TINH also applied to real water samples for the identification and measurement of Pd2+ ions. Hence, this system could be highly applicable for detection of Pd2+ ions in environmental and industrial samples with in low detection range.
