A fluorescent probe 1 has been synthesized by the Schiff base condensation of 4-(diethylamino)salicylaldehyde with oxamic hydrazide, which has been carefully characterized through ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, and electrospray ionization mass spectrometer. Probe 1 exhibited a quite weak emission at 495 nm, which could selectively and sensitively recognize Al3+ from other cations by a notable fluorescence enhancement. The limit of detection of probe 1 for Al³⁺ was as low as 1.44 μmol·L^-1, indicating its high sensitivity. Based on theory calculation results, probe 1 is proposed to coordinate with Al with the ratio of 1∶1 in a tridentate mode. Moreover, the probe was applied to imaging Al³⁺ in living cells.
