A very simple fluorophore was synthesized and applied as a chemosensor for Cd2+ion detection.
Two novel chiral molecules 1 and 2 were designed and synthesized. 1 displayed evident CPL activity, whereas 2 served as a highly selective and sensitive “turn-off” fluorescent chemosensor for Cu2+.
A versatile chemosensor was developed for highly distinguishable and selective recognition of group IIIA metal ions (Al3+, Ga3+ and In3+).
