“…For Czarnik's rhodamine hydrazide, Cu 2+ promotes a hydrolytic reaction and results in an enhanced fluorescence emission but the chemical probe was later reported to react with Hg 2+ preferentially . Other Cu 2+ ‐selective rhodamine hydrazide derivatives have also been reported as well as rhodamine hydrazide conjugated with different receptors including isothiocyanate, 4‐(dimethylamino)benzaldehyde, sulfonyl, acyl, phenyl, pyridine, semicarbazide, thiosemicarbazide, vanillic aldehyde, 4‐chloro‐7‐nitro‐2,1,3‐benzoxadiazole, 4‐(diphenylamino)benzaldehyde, 1,4‐(5′‐ethynylsalicyaldehyde)‐ N ‐butyl‐1,8‐naphthalimides and the o ‐pyridylaldehyde group have been synthesized to explore the binding affinity for Cu 2+ . Significantly, 1,2,3‐triazole based on click chemistry plays various roles in metal sensing such as a multidentate motif for metal ions, a linker between a binding site and a reporter or as a part of a conjugated fluorophore .…”
