A novel colorimetric sensor, 2-hydroxy naphthaldehyde isonicotinoyl hydrazone (HINH), was easily synthesized by the condensation of isoniazid and 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde. The as-prepared compound showed effective colorimetric single selectivity and high sensitivity for aluminum cation in CH3CN/H2O (1:3) binary solutions. The detection limit is 1.0×10(-8) M Al(3+) based on UV-vis changes.
Keywords: 2-Hydroxy naphthaldehyde isonicotinoyl hydrazone; Al(3+); Chemosensor.
