α-Amino acid derived benzimidazole-linked rhodamines 1−3 have been synthesized, and their efficacy in metal ion sensing has been evaluated. While l-valine- and l-phenylglycine-derived benzimidazole-based rhodamines 1 and 2 selectively recognize Al3+ in aqueous CH3CN (pH 7.0) by exhibiting color and “turn-on” emission changes, glycine-derived benzimidazole 3 is nonresponsive in the event and highlights the role of α-substitution of amino acid in the designs.
