A new selective fluorogenic probe for trivalent cations

[EN] A new selective chromo-fluorogenic probe for Fe 3+, Cr 3+ and Al 3+ is reported. Detection limits are in the ¿M range and the fluorogenic sensing ability could be observed by the naked eye when illuminated with UV-light. No response is observed with divalent cations. © 2012 The Royal Society of Chemistry.AECID (A/026355109), DGICYT (projects MAT2009-14564-C01 and MAT 2009-14564-C04-3) and Generalitat Valenciana (project PROMETEO/2009/016) are gratefully acknowledged.
