Abstract

A fluorescent sensor L, which showed turn-on response towards Cd2+ with a detection limit of 1.9 × 10-12 mol L-1 in acetonitrile-H2O buffer solution based on the PET process and turn-off response toward Cu2+ with a detection limit of 4.9 × 10-9 mol L-1 in pure water at pH 3.5 based on electrostatic effects, was developed.
