A 6-methoxyquinoline conjugated diethylenetriamine derivative, N,N ''-bis(6-methoxy-2-quinolylmethyl) diethylenetriamine (6-MeOBQDIEN) has been synthesized and its fluorescent response toward zinc ion was investigated. In the presence of zinc ion, 6-MeOBQDIEN exhibits fluorescence (lambda(ex) = 329 nm, lambda(em) = 418 nm, phi = 0.039). The fluorescent intensity of the zinc complex of the compound is two times higher than the parent BQDIEN (phi = 0.021) under the same conditions. The crystal structure of 6-MeOBQDIEN-Zn complex shows that all five nitrogen atoms participate to the metal coordination in a distorted square-pyramidal geometry (tau = 0.145) with the aliphatic nitrogen in an apical position. Fluorescent microscopic analysis using 6-MeOBQDIEN reveals the zinc ion concentration change in living cells.
