“…A uorescence probe is a simple, fast, and sensitive way of detecting copper ions compared with traditional methods such as electrochemistry, 16 spectrophotometry, 17 voltammetry, 18 and atomic absorption spectroscopy. 19 Many sensitive uorescence probes for Cu 2+ have been reported, such as ferrocenyl, 20 benzimidazole, 21 benzothiazole, 22,23 pyrene, 24,25 BODIPY, 26,27 rhodamine, [28][29][30][31] etc. Pyrimidine is a typical nitrogen heterocyclic compound and has many structure sites that can be modied.…”
