Abstract :A new anthracene derivative of calix[4]arene was synthesized as a highly fluorescent compound. This compound was examined for its fluorescent properties towards different metal ions (Li+, Na+, Mg2+, Ca2+, Ba2+, Ni2+, Cu2+, Zn2+, Pb2+) by UV and fluorescence spectroscopy. On complexation by alkaline earth metal cations and transition metal cations, the fluorescence spectrum was quenched. In particular, Ca2+ caused greater than 98% quenching of the anthracene derivative of calix[4]arene.Keywords : Calix[4]arene, anthracene, fluorescent chemosensor, Schiff base
