BINOL-Based Fluorescent Sensor for Recognition of Cu(II) and Sulfide Anion in Water
A multifunctional fluorescent sensor based on a cyclen-appended
BINOL derivative (<b>R-1</b>) was synthesized and characterized.
It can display on–off-type fluorescence change with high selectivity
toward CuÂ(II) among 19 metal ions in 100% aqueous solution. Furthermore,
the in situ generated <b>R-1–CuÂ(II)</b> ensemble could
recover the quenched fluorescence upon the addition of sulfide anion
resulting in a off–on-type sensing with a detection limit of
micromolar range in the same medium. No interference was observed
from other biothiols and anions, including GSH, l-Cys, DTT,
and sulfates, making it a highly sensitive and selective sulfide probe
