In the past decade, fluorescent chemosensors for zinc ion (Zn2+) have attracted great
attention because of the biological significance of zinc combined with the simplicity and high …

Exposure to mercury ions can damage the human brain, the nervous system, the endocrine
system, and other biological systems. Much effort has therefore been made to develop real …

Molecular chemistry has developed a wide range of procedures for creating ever more
sophisticated molecules and materials from atoms linked by covalent bonds. 1 Beyond …

A new phosphorescent zinc sensor (ZIrF) was constructed, based on an Ir (III) complex
bearing two 2-(2, 4-difluorophenyl) pyridine (dfppy) cyclometalating ligands and a neutral 1 …

The ferrocene-pyrene dyad 3 is able to selectively sense the pyrophosphate anion. The
anion recognition was evaluated using electrochemistry, 1H NMR, as well as fluorescence …

Two triazole-appended ferrocene–rhodamine conjugates, C47H45N7O3Fe (2) and
C49H49N7O3Fe (3), have been synthesized, and their electrochemical, optical, and metal …

A new chemosensor RF1 that combines a ferrocene unit and a rhodamine block via the
linkage of a carbohydrazone binding unit was designed and prepared for the highly …

This work presents the design, syntheses, photophysical properties and Hg2+-binding of the
red-emitting rhodamine derivatives RS1, RS2, and RS3 with different coordination ability …

A ferrocene unit is introduced into the salicylaldehyde Rhodamine 6G hydrazone with an
alkynyl group to constitute a new chemosensor, R6G-FC, for specifically sensing Cu2+ over …

A multifunctional fluorescent chemosensor (PMN) for Al3+ and Zn2+ has been developed,
which displays a dual-mode and “off–on” fluorescence response upon addition of Al3+ or …
