“…It is well known that hydrazone and its derivatives could be used as a probe for the detection of Ag + , Co 2+ , Cu 2+ , and other metal ions. [46,47] In the experiment, the typical metal ions such as Ag + , Al 3+ , Cd 2+ , Ca 2+ , Ce 2+ , Co 2+ , Cr 2+ , Cu 2+ , Fe 2+ , Fe 3+ , Hg 2+ , K + , Mg 2+ , Mn 2+ , Na + , Pb 2+, and Zn 2+ were selected and mixed with PAHZ-OG solution of DMSO, and then the fluorescence spectra were recorded. As shown in Figure 5a, the introduction of most metal ions into the PAHZ-OG solution resulted in a slight decrease in its fluorescence intensity.…”
