Two new 2-aminobenzamide structural isomers, 4-isoACOBA and 5-isoACOBA, as fluorescent probes for Cd2+ and Zn2+ were fabricated with carbazolone as fluorophore and N,N-bis(2-pyridylmethyl)ethylenediamine (BPEA) as chelator. With Cd2+/Zn2+ as input, the two probes are characteristic of the transformation from "off-on" to "on-off" molecular switch by interchanging the substitution position of the fluorophore from C-4 to C-5 at the benzene ring. 4-IsoACOBA is a Cd 2+-specific turn-on fluorescent probe exhibiting good discrimination between Cd2+ and Zn2+ with FCd2+/F Zn2+ = 2.48, while 5-isoACOBA is a Zn2+-specific turn-off probe with FCd2+/FZn2+ = 4.50. The binding behaviours of 4-isoACOBA-Cd(ii) and 5-isoACOBA-Zn(ii) were deeply investigated by UV and fluorescence titration, ESI-MS analysis, and DFT study. The results indicate that both the electron donating/withdrawing ability and the substituted position of the fluorophore have remarkable influences on the probe sensing properties and selectivity.
