{Abstract}: The application of quinolones stretches over a large umbrella of medicinal field as well as chemosensor due to the presence of privileged heterocyclic aromatic rig system. Salicyl and Naphthyl Hydrazide motifs are also established fluorophore groups. Therefore in this work, we have designed and synthesized Salicyl hydrazide (3a-c) and naphthyl hydrazide fused nitroquinolones (5a-c) investigated for their fluorescent behaviour. Preliminary UV- absorption studies were carried out and the metal selectivity were examined with various metal ion. Among them, it was found that compound 3a was selective towards Fe3+ ions (λex = 330 nm, 1:1 DMF:H2O at pH = 7.4 in HEPES Buffer medium). 3a shows decrease emission intensity in presence of Fe3+ ions. Compound 5a shows enhancement in fluorescence intensity upon addition of Pb2+ ion (λex = 280 nm, 1:1 DMF:H2O at pH = 7.4 in HEPES Buffer medium). Further, the concentration dependence, competitive binding and EDTA reversibility were studied for selected compounds towards the respective cations selectivity. Jobs plot analysis indicate that 1:1 binding of 3a with Fe3+ ion (Ka = 3.17 x104M-1 and Limit Of Detection (LOD) = 5.1 × 10-7 M) whereas 5a showed 1:2 binding mode with Pb2+ ions (Ka = 2.14 × 106 M-1 and Limit Of Detection (LOD) = 2.613 × 10-9 M). Density Function Theoretical studies were performed as support for the experimental results.
