Abstract

We have strategically incorporated three different fluorophores at tren to construct a multi-energy donor/acceptor “smart” probe L. This probe operates by using three-dimensional scales (response time, wavelength and fluorescence intensity) which allows for the selective recognition and discrimination of the Cu²⁺, Hg²⁺, Fe³⁺ and F⁻ ions.
