Purpose of the Study:
- To design and synthesize a novel Förster Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET)-based probe (LS3) for selective Cu2+ detection.
- To evaluate the probe's sensitivity and selectivity against common interfering metal ions.
Main Methods:
- Synthesis of the novel FRET-based probe LS3.
- Spectroscopic analysis to determine probe performance.
- Testing selectivity with coexistent metal ions.
Main Results:
- The synthesized probe LS3 demonstrated high selectivity for Cu2+.
- High sensitivity was achieved with a detection limit of 0.0423 μM for Cu2+.
- The probe meets requirements for practical applications.
Conclusions:
- The novel FRET probe LS3 is effective for selective and sensitive detection of Cu2+.
- Compound 3a/b shows promise for synthesizing analogous FRET probes.
- LS3 has potential for practical applications in metal ion sensing.
