title: A novel fluorescent indicator for Ba2+ in aqueous micellar solutions.
abstract: The highly selective and sensitive fluorescence detection of Ba(2+) among alkali metal and alkaline earth metal cations was successfully achieved in aqueous media by the combination of a novel monoazacryptand type of fluorophore and micelles of Triton X-100.
