Photoactive glycoconjugates with a very large Stokes shift: synthesis, photophysics, and copper(ii) and BSA sensing

Abstract

Photoactive glycoconjugates obtained via copper-catalyzed azide–alkyne 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition, showing ESIPT properties with a very large Stokes shift, with notable sensing capabilities for both copper ions and bovine serum albumin in solution.
