Abstract:
An efficient turn-on fluorescent sensor for PO4(3-) has been developed by rationally designing an in situ-generated iron(iii) complex with a 1,8-naphthalene-based Schiff base unit. The sensor exhibits high sensitivity and selectivity in both solution and solid-state film, even in the presence of other phosphate anions such as HPO4(2-) and H2PO4(-).

1.2K
Photoluminescence offers a wide range of applications due to its inherent sensitivity and selectivity. This technique allows for both direct and indirect analyses of the analyte. Direct quantitative analysis is possible when the analyte exhibits a favorable quantum yield for fluorescence or phosphorescence. However, an indirect analysis may be feasible if the analyte is not fluorescent or phosphorescent, or if the quantum yield is unfavorable. Indirect methods include reacting the analyte with...

1.9K
Fluorometers and spectrofluorometers are two types of instruments used for measuring molecular fluorescence. These instruments differ in how they select excitation and emission wavelengths and the type of light sources they utilize. Fluorometers use absorption interference filters to choose excitation and emission wavelengths. The excitation source in a fluorometer is typically a low-pressure mercury vapor lamp that emits intense lines distributed throughout the ultraviolet and visible regions.
