Ca ion as a second messenger in signaling pathway plays many vital roles in many biological phenomena. Thus, it is of significance for developing effective probes to detect Ca ion specifically. Herein, a new Schiff base fluorescent probe FPH, fluorescein monoaldehyde (2-aminomethylpyridine) hydrazone, was designed and synthesized to identify Ca in DMSO aqueous solution. The probe FPH revealed significant responses to Ca with a fluorescence enhancement at 540 nm, exhibiting an evident fluorescence change from ultraweak luminescence to bright green. Otherwise, the FPH displayed a good linear range of 0.67 × 10 to 3.33 × 10 mol/L with a lower detection limit at 7.02 × 10 mol/L. The probe FPH were further successfully utilized to detect Ca in living cells by an increased bright green fluorescence.
