Heavy metal ions are of great concern, not only among the scientific community, especially
chemists, biologists, and environmentalists, but increasingly among the general population …

After a brief introduction on the main transduction mechanisms for metal ion detection by
fluorescence, this paper reviews ligand molecules containing fluorophores synthesized and …

Co-contamination of ligand-like antibiotics (eg, tetracyclines and quinolones) and heavy
metals prevails in the environment, and thus the complexation between them is involved in …

Copper (Cu) is an essential micronutrient for most organisms and serves mainly as a redox-
active catalytic centre in enzymes cycling between Cu+ and Cu 2+. Membrane transporters …

Copper is a transition metal essential for life. At elevated concentrations, however, it is highly
toxic to organisms such as algae, fungi, and many bacteria, and in humans may adversely …

This communication presents a fluorescent chemosensor for detecting Pb (II) and Hg (II) in
aqueous solutions. The sensor showed a turn-on response to Pb (II) by an enhancement of …

Peptide-coated CdS quantum dots for the optical detection of copper( ii ) and silver( i ) -
Chemical Communications (RSC Publishing) DOI:10.1039/B308991F Royal Society of …

A new cyclam derivative having two different fluorophores of pyrene and NBD subunits was
prepared, and its Hg2+-and Cu2+-selective signaling behaviors were investigated. The …

The first examples of boronic acid-linked fluorescent and colorimetric chemosensors for
copper ions are reported; the monoboronic acid-conjugated rhodamine probe displays a …

The designed" ATCUN" motif (amino-terminal copper and nickel binding site) is a replica of
naturally occurring ATCUN site found in many proteins/peptides, and an attractive platform …
