Abstract

In this paper, the progress of the quinoline-based fluorescent zinc sensors in recent years is reviewed. The structures and principles of design for the fluorescent zinc sensors based on quinoline, 8-hydroxyquinoline or 8- aminoquinoline, are introduced. The influence on optical properties of the quinoline-based fluorescent sensors induced by zinc is summarized. The practical application and advantages in the detection process of the quinoline-based fluorescent zinc sensors are analyzed. The prospects of this kind of sensors are also put forward.
