A multicolor and ratiometric fluorescent sensing platform for metal ions based on arene–metal-ion contact

Fluorescent probes can detect metal ions with high sensitivity, but their design typically relies on a limited number of sensing mechanisms. Here the use of arene–metal-ion contact as a sensing mechanism allows ratiometric detection of metal ions across a broad wavelength range.
