A chromo-fluorogenic HMT sensor for Ag+ and the resultant HMT-Ag complex turn-off probe for F− in DMSO: experimental and theoretical studies

The photophysical properties of Hexamethylenetetramine (HMT) were investigated through physical methods and spectroscopically in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) at ambient temperature. Evidently, HMT turned out as a sensor, selective and sensitive to silver ion (Ag+) only, among other cations, through col...
