The absorption and fluorescence sensing spectra of the compounds were precise in different polarity of solvent. The solvent polarity parameters have been used to propose a quantitative approach towards the reliable stability of the electronic ground and excited state species. Photochemical behaviors of the compounds were analyzed by applying multi-linear correlation methods. The characterized compounds 1-4 show a chemosensing detection of zinc ion in aqueous solution. Besides, the fluorescence spectroscopic responses were reversible when the Zn2+chelating reagentEDTANa2.The phenomenon proves that these compounds to show a sensitivity ˇ°on-offˇ± sensor for Zn2+.Further, to recognize the molecular structure, electronic and optical properties and DFT calculations of the molecules were formed. %U https://www.sciencepubco.com/index.php/IJAC/article/view/8896
