“…[5,9,10,15] By contrast, fluorescence sensing-based techniques for Cu 2 + detection require relatively simple instruments and attract more attention on account of significant advantages, including real time and in situ analysis, fast response, convenient operation, and high sensitivity. [4,12,16,[18][19][20][21][22][23][24] Hence, the above merits make fluorescent based strategy as an indispensable tool in disease diagnosis and treatment, biomedical area and also other fields. [10] Previously, a lot of fluorescence probes consisting of molecules such as rhodamine, [25] [5]helicene, [2] coumarin, [15,16] benzimidazole, [18] calixarene, [18] naphtalimide, [1,11] Schiff base, [26][27][28] aldazine, [29] thiocarbonohydrazone, [30] and quinoline [12] have been published in the literature for the recognition of copper ions.…”
