The invention relates to preparation of an anthraquinonyl
Schiff base derivative and application of the anthraquinonyl
Schiff base derivative in Co < 2 + > and
crystal violet detection. The preparation method and the application of the
anthraquinone-based
Schiff base derivative comprise the following steps: S1, mixing 1, 4-dihydroxy
anthraquinone and
sodium hydrosulfite, adding the mixture into a mixed
solvent of dioxane and water, and reacting to obtain 2, 3-dihydro-9, 10-dihydroxy-1, 4-anthracenedione. S2, dispersing the 2, 3-dihydro-9, 10-dihydroxy-1, 4-anthracenedione in a
mixed solution of
ethylenediamine and
methanol, and carrying out a reaction so as to obtain 1, 4-bis ((2-aminoethyl) amino)
anthracene-9, 10-dione; s3, dispersing the 1, 4-bis ((2-aminoethyl) amino)
anthracene-9, 10-
diketone,
salicylaldehyde and derivatives thereof in
ethanol, and carrying out a reaction to obtain an anthraquinonyl Schiff base derivative; the series of probes can be used as colorimetric probes under an alkaline condition to realize
naked eye detection of Co < 2 + >, and have relatively high sensitivity and relatively good selectivity; the probe can be used as a fluorescent probe under an acidic condition to realize rapid and accurate detection of
crystal violet, and has the advantages of wide sources of synthetic raw materials and low cost.
