Syntheses and non-covalent interactions of naphthalene-bearing Schiff base complexes of Zn(II), Co(III), Cu(II) and V(IV): Selective detection of Zn(II)

Aggregation‐Induced Emission‐Based Sensing Platform for Selective Detection of Zn2+: Experimental and Theoretical Investigations

“…Various analyte-specific probes for detection of Zn 2 + , Cu 2 + , Hg 2 + and Al 3 + based on such systems have been reported by us. [15] In Table S1, selected aspects of recently published α-hydroxy aromatic Schiff base Zn 2 + sensors [14d,15g,h, [21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28] are compiled, clearly showing that even a slight modification in the chemical structure of a probe may lead to its different photophysical and chemical properties affecting its functionality and applications, such as the limit of detection, selectivity, and also AIEE features. Moreover, depending on molecular structure, a different signaling mechanism may take place.…”
