Smartphone-assisted colorimetric detection of nickel(ii) ions using a novel benzothiazole–quinoline dyad in semi-aqueous media

Abstract

In this study, we present three different approaches for the colorimetric detection of Ni2+ ions using a specifically designed benzothiazole-quinoline dyad (L) synthesized via the Knoevenagel condensation reaction of (Benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)acetonitrile...
