摘要
An off-on' rhodamine-based fluorescence probe for the selective detection of Cu(II) has been designed, exploiting the guest-induced structure transform mechanism. This system shows a sharp Cu(II)-selective fluorescence enhancement response in an aqueous system under physiological pH, and possesses high selectivity against a background of environmentally and biologically relevant metal ions. Under optimum conditions, the fluorescence intensity enhancement of this system is linearly proportional to the Cu(II) concentration from 50nM to 6.0M with a detection limit of 29 nM.
