The Schiff base ligand H2SB derived from the condensation of N-(2-aminobenzyl)-5-(dimethylamino)naphthalene-1-sulfonamide with 4-formyl-3-hydroxybenzoic acid has been investigated as a chemosensor for the detection of CdSe-Cys QDs in water samples. We immobilized H2SB onto cellulose paper by forming an amide bond, which results from the condensation of a carboxylic acid and an amine. Three dominant signals located around 270, 330, and 420 nm in the diffuse reflectance spectrum of the H2SB-modified paper demonstrated its immobilization. A linear decrease can be observed in the absorbance of the 270 nm band with the increase of the CdSe-Cys QDs concentration from 100 ppb to 2 ppm. The LOD and LOQ show values of 245 and 815 ppb, respectively. An interaction via metal–ligand coordination between CdSe-Cys QDs and H2SB has been demonstrated with 1H NMR, ATR-FTIR, and UV-Vis spectroscopy.
