Abstract:
... Aquatic organism is far less tolerant to Cu²⁺ than that of mammals, and the excessive Cu²⁺ can also be harmful to human by bioconcentration. Herein, a fluorescent probe (DPA-SAA) that can be easily synthesized was developed for detecting traces of Cu²⁺ in actual aqueous environment and cells. The experimental and theoretical results showed that the fluorescence of DPA-SAA could be evidently quench ...
