What is it about?
A chemosensor (TPC) based on thymol was afforded by the reaction of thymol and piperidine in methanol. The structure elucidation of TPC was carried out with UV-Vis, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, and FT-IR analysis. The chemosensing properties of the synthesized probe were determined with UVvisible spectroscopy, and further, it was exploited for the determination of the concentration of Cu2+ and Pb2+ ions in spiked tap water samples. The toxicity studies of the chemosensing probe were conducted against the plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), i.e., Rhizobium sp., Pseudomonas sp., and Azospirillum sp.

Why is it important?
Thymol is a naturally occurring monoterpenoid phenol, and its derivatives may emerge as eco-friendly materials for the development of chemosensing probes. We aimed to prepare a non-toxic chemosensing probe based on thymol moiety for the detection of metal ions.
