Selective Coordination of Cu<sup>2+</sup> and Subsequent Anion Detection Based on a Naphthalimide-Triazine-(DPA)<sub>2</sub> Chemosensor

A new fluorescent chemosensor for copper (II) and subsequent anion sensing was designed and fully characterized. The sensor consisted of a 1,8-naphthalimide core, bearing two terminal dipicolylamine (DPA) receptor units for binding metal cations, and an ethoxyethanol moiety for enhanced water solubi...
