Two novel fluorophores, 12 and 13, composed of diaza-18-crown-6 ligands containing two quinoline-based sidearms which are structurally similar to Zn(II) fluorophores TSQ (1) and Zinquin (2) were synthesized as potential Zn(II) fluorophores by reductive amination of 8-benzenesulfonamido-2-quinoline carboxaldehyde 6 and 8-benzenesulfonamido-6-quinolyloxyacetate-2-carboxaldehyde 11 with diaza-18-crown-6 using sodium triacetoxyborohydride (NaBH(OAc)3) as the reducing agent. Preliminary photophysical properties of ligands 12 and 13 show that they possess the properties necessary to be effective chemosensors for Zn2+. The solid state structure of 12 is also reported.
