Turn-On Fluorescent Sensor\nfor Selective Detection\nof Zn<sup>2+</sup>, Cd<sup>2+</sup>, and Hg<sup>2+</sup> in Water

Abstract

A new fluorescent chemosensor based on a helical imide\nas fluorophore\nand a cyclen moiety as ionophore was synthesized, which not only showed\nenhanced fluorescent responses in the presence of Zn<sup>2+</sup>,\nCd<sup>2+</sup>, and Hg<sup>2+</sup> but also could simultaneously\nand selectively distinguish the three cations in a simulated physiological\ncondition with the help of cysteine as an auxiliary reagent.
