Preliminary, solvent effect, metal selectivity and metal ligand ratio were analyzed through UV-Visible study. Fluorescence response toward Cu2+ was carried to assess the fluorescent property of synthesized Schiff base. The probe exhibited a higher fluorescence enhancement in the presence of Cu2+ over other metal ions (Ni2+, Zn2+, Hg2+, Co2+, Cd2+, Al3+, Fe2+, and Pb2+). The binding stoichiometry between L and Cu2+ has been investigated using Job's plot and Benesi-Hildebrand equation and it was found that ligand L can form 1:1 L-Cu2+ complex with binding constant (K (a)) of 4 x 10(4) LM-1.en10.1007/s10895-016-2013-yinfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessPiperidineSchiff baseFluorescenceCopperBinding constantArticle27379179728032281Q1WOS:000399403500003Q3
