The invention provides synthesis of a
coumarin fluorescent probe and a method for detecting paranitroaniline by the
coumarin fluorescent probe, and belongs to the field of fluorescent molecular probes, the synthesis method of the
coumarin fluorescent probe comprises the following steps: weighing 7-amino-4-methylcoumarin and ethyoxyl
salicylaldehyde, mixing, dissolving with absolute ethyl
alcohol, stirring and reacting for set time under the condition of constant-temperature water bath, filtering, washing, and
drying to obtain the coumarin fluorescent probe. Cooling and filtering to precipitate a red
crystal, namely the coumarin fluorescent probe. The coumarin
Schiff base fluorescent probe A5 is synthesized through a heating condensation
reflux method, the
crystal structure of the coumarin fluorescent probe A5 is successfully analyzed through X-
ray single crystal diffraction, the
molecular configuration and
substituent connection sites of the coumarin fluorescent probe A5 are clarified, and a structural basis is provided for
functional design of the probe. The optimal
excitation wavelength of the A5 probe is 340 nm, the maximum emission
wavelength is 440 nm, and the dependence of the emission
wavelength on the
excitation wavelength is low. The
fluorescence intensity of the A5 probe is kept stable within the pH value range of 3-10, and the A5 probe is suitable for detection of
natural water and weakly acidic / alkaline industrial
wastewater.
