A Schiff base probe, namely N′ -(quinoxaline-2-ylmethylene) pyridinyl hydrazide (1) was produced by a simple condensation reaction and was fully characterized through 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and ESI-MS. Probe 1 was nonemissive while displaying a strong emission at 500 nm in the presence of Zn²⁺. This fluorescence enhancement was highly selective and sensitive toward Zn²⁺ over other common cations, with a detection limit of 0.16 μmol·L^-1. The coordination mode of 1 with Zn²⁺ was proposed by means of ESI-MS, ¹H NMR, and UV-Vis. The crystal structure of the 1-Zn²⁺ complex was characterized by X- ray single- crystal diffraction, further confirming the coordination behavior of the probe. The results showed that the probe can coordinate two independent Zn²⁺ ions via ONN and NN donor sets, which are connected by bridged CH₃O^- and Cl^- to form a 1D chain. Finally, the probe was used to trace Zn²⁺ in HeLa cells.
