A novel selective and sensitive fluorescent sensor for detecting Fe3+ was designed and synthesized; it revealed obvious fluorescence quenching effect upon addition of Fe3+, and possessed the quantitative analysis ability on account of the formation of a 1 : 1 metal–ligand complex.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
