A series of new fluorescent chemosensors 5a – 5e , composed of two aminonaphthalimide fluorophores and 2,6‐bis(( N ‐aminoalkyl)aminocarboxy)pyridines, were prepared, characterized, and their fluorescent properties towards heavy and transition metal (HTM) ions were investigated. Chemosensors 5c – 5e exhibited high selectivity and sensitivity for Cu 2+ ion over other HTM ions with fluorescent quenching (green to colourless). It clearly demonstrated that the length of the linkers (diamines) between the aminonaphthalimides and 2,6‐dicarboxypyridine of 5a – 5e was very important for their sensitivity and selectivity for Cu 2+ ion over other HTM ions.
