This study reports the synthesis of a new rhodamine-based chemosensor for selective Pb²⁺ sensing. DFT simulations, molecular docking, and practical validations collectively confirm the sensor’s efficacy for environmental monitoring applications.

A highly selective Schiff base fluorescence turn-on chemosensor for Pb²⁺ ions was constructed using rhodamine with a LOD of 3.77 nM. DFT simulations, molecular docking and real-world applications proving its environmental monitoring potential.

This work presents the development of a rhodamine-based colorimetric and turn-on fluorescent chemosensor (P1) designed for selective recognition of Ni²⁺ ions.

A Schiff-base colorimetric chemosensor has been synthesized for the selective detection of Cu²⁺ ions and its potential application in the detection of Cu²⁺ in the solid state and in real water samples has also been demonstrated.
